Rural Women Reporting
According to this report, rural women are rarely heard in the media; even
more
rarely do they actually have the opportunity to create media. The Rural Women
Reporting project was developed to both produce programmes that speak to
the issues
rural women face, and to empower those who participated through skills and
confidence-building to support ways to make their voices heard. For instance,
participants (7 women, 1 man) in South Africa decided to create individual
features
following workshops that covered not only how to make audio programmes,
but also how
to interview and conduct research. In addition, a reporter from a national
newspaper
came to speak with the participants about rural women's issues. This process
resulted in 8 programmes of varying lengths in both English and isiZulu
covering
topics such as young women and employment, teenage pregnancy, child-headed
households, women and inheritance rights, polygamy, grandmother and
grandchildren,
forced/arranged marriages!
, and evictions from the marital home. The programmes were made available
to local
radio stations and places where people gather, and were distributed over the
internet as podcasts.
