Global kids radio seeks cooperation, contributions

A German-based youth radio program for kids ages 3 -13 worldwide called
Radijojo is inviting radio journalists from around the world to contribute
and become part of its network.

Radijojo, which invites children to make their own shows, currently
produces educational and cultural content with the contributions of
schools, communities, radio stations and child projects from countries in
five continents.

Programs are focused on early music education, transnational
understanding, health education, ethics, environmental education, science
programs, language learning, promotion of peace, political awareness,
children's literature, etc.

Interested journalists should contribute radio productions in English,
French, Spanish or German. Technical support is also needed for regional
parts of the network, such as local radio stations and children projects.

25 November 2008
UN: Violence Against Iraqi Women Largely IgnoredComment on this post

By Laura Zuber
Impunity Watch Senior Desk Officer, Middle East

GENEVA, Switzerland – November 25 marked the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.  Organizations around the world use the UN day to comment on the situation facing women where they are based.  On November 25, UN's Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Yakin Erturk, commented the conditions of Iraqi women living in Iraq and as refugees in neighboring countries.
According to Erturk, "The ongoing conflict, high levels of insecurity, widespread impunity, collapsing economic conditions and rising social conservatism are impacting directly on the daily lives of Iraqi women and placing them under increased vulnerability to all forms of violence within and outside their home."  She continued, "Violence against Iraqi women is committed by numerous actors, such as militia groups, insurgents, Islamic extremists, law enforcement personnel, members of the family as well as the community."
Iraqi women re victims of rape, sex trafficking, forced and early marriages, murder, and abduction for sectarian or criminal reasons; many are driven or forced into prostitution.  In addition, women often fall victim to disproportionate use of force by US forces as well as Iraqi police and security forces.
Most crimes against women "are not reported because of stigma, fear of retaliation, or lack of confidence in the police," MADRE, an international women's rights group, wrote in its 2007 report about violence against women in Iraq.  A 2005 report published by the Iraqi National Association for Human Rights found that women held in Interior Ministry detention centers endure "systematic rape by the investigators. "
A few national and international organizations work to help rape victims in Iraq.  However, militias have targeted women's rights advocates, forcing their workers underground – making it more difficult to offer services to victims.
In addition, the lack of security in Iraq complicates national and international efforts to document the occurrences of sexual assault.  Marianne Molliman, who leads women's rights advocacy for Human Rights Watch, lamented that the security situation has prevented the organization from getting people on the ground to look at the issue for a long time.  HRW published its last report about rape in Iraq in 2003.
Ms. Erturk also expressed concern over violence threatening Iraqi women from their own family, such as "honor killings."  According to Erturk, the number of honor killings is increasing and they are largely committed with impunity.  When perpetrators are arrested and prosecuted, the punishments are quite lenient under the Iraqi Penal Code.  Women who are sexually assaulted will often not report their attack for fear of then being ostracized or even killed by their family.  
In the northern Kurdish region of Iraq, where honor killings are among the primary causes of unnatural deaths among women, there are also frequent reports of female genital mutilation.  According to Kurdish Health Minister Zarian Abdel Rahman, 60 percent of girls (aged four to fourteen) undergo circumcision. 
A survey of 201 Kurdish villages, conducted by the German NGO, Wadi, found that 3,502 out of 5,628 women and girls had been mutilated.
Ms. Erturk concluded by urging "Iraqi government and the international community to prevent women and girls from being the 'soft targets' of violence and the invisible victims of the conflict in Iraq."

2. Radio 1812: The EU and its migration policies

Brussels, 10 December 2008
Radio 1812 / 2008 Edition

The European Union and its migration policies.

On the occasion of International Human Rights Day, we are releasing this package of audio reports dealing with the
<http://www.radio1812.net/en/story/2008/12/european_union_migration_policies
> European Union and its migration policies.

Although migration policies in the EU are primarily the competence of the Member States, the Union does have an important role to play because it can set the general framework. The EU has, for example, been criticized recently for the so-called �Return Directive�, which establishes common rules on the deportation of irregular migrants (see report in Spanish: Cr�tica a las pol�ticas de migraci�n europeas). Furthermore, countries on the borders of the Union, like Italy, want to share their responsibility for migrants with the other Member States (see report in Italian: L�industria di sfruttamenti). There is therefore a need for a common solution, claims Kacim Kellal of the French Ministry of Migration and National Identity (see interview in French). Peter Verhaege from Caritas Europa argues that it is essential to take steps towards more rights of migrant workers. (See
interview in English)

Ramaroshan FM Station Padlocked

A group of people from Achham district headquarters Mangalsen captured and
padlocked the transmission station of Radio Ramaroshan, the only community
radio in the district at Thulasain of Janalibandali VDC December 8, Monday.

The radio management claimed that liquor traders padlocked the station with
the help of police as the radio recently broadcast news of free alcohol
trading in Achham, a dry district. They also blamed police for being mere
spectators in the incident.

The radio transmission was halted for an indefinite period from Monday due
to the padlocking.

Freedom Forum terms this incident a severe violation of press freedom that
serves as an example of deteriorating media situation in Nepal. The Forum
asks the concerned authority to book the guilty and take stern actions
according to the law.

1. 16 Days of Activism CD for Public Transport Launched
Posted by: "Deborah Walter" deb@cmfd.org
Date: Thu Dec 4, 2008 11:46 pm ((PST))

For Immediate Release - Taxis driving message home on gender violence

If you jump into a combi during the next couple of weeks in and around
Johannesburg, you may just be greeted with something a bit different from
the usual fare of thumping Kwaito and house beats. Launching 4 December at
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Tjoon'in is an audio CD designed
specifically for playing in public transport as part of 16 Days of Activism.

Tjoon'in is an entertaining mix of music, feature reports, interviews,
testimonials from survivors of violence, and radio spots highlighting
various 16 Days themes, particularly domestic violence, xenophobia, human
trafficking, and men as partners. Produced partially during workshops with
transport stakeholders, local councilors and survivors of violence, the CD
features the energetic voices of YFM's Dineo Lusenga and Hlayisanani "TC"
Salani talking about everything from gun free zones to music and soccer, and
how these all fit in with 16 Days of Peace.

An innovative project by Gender Links in partnership with Ekurhuleni
Metropolitan Municipality and the Gauteng Women in Transport, produced with
assistance from CMFD Productions, the CD is being distributed free to taxis
and radio stations.

1. RG58 cable
Posted by: "Vickram Crishna" v1clist@yahoo.co.uk
Date: Mon Dec 1, 2008 7:18 pm ((PST))

An organisation in Germany has donated (about 50 kg) of RG58 antenna cable. This grade of cable is suitable for use in connecting transmitters to antennae for FM broadcasting (~100 MHz). The cable is lying in Hamburg.

Any public service organisation that can make good use of this quantity of cable may contact me. The cable is free, but arrangements will have to be made to lift it from Hamburg, Germany.

Guidelines for Reporting on Violence Against Women

via
–\
https://www.ijnet.org/ijnet/training_materials/guidelines_for_reporting_on_violence_against_women

Posted on: 25/11/2008 Journalism Basics, Journalism Ethics, Writing and
Reporting

To mark the International day for the elimination of violence against women
- November 25 - the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) released
guidelines for improving media coverage of the issue.

Deeming the issue "poorly reported," IFJ recommends that journalists think
more carefully how they use words and images when reporting violence against
women, suggesting the use of non-judgmental language and exercising
restraint in publication of graphic details. The word "victim" is overused
and "survivor" might be a more appropriate term, according to the
guidelines.

Journalists are also encouraged to inform the public of the bigger picture
of violence against women by including statistics, social background
information and expert opinion in their work.

To access the PDF guidelines, go to
http://www.ifj.org/assets/docs/185/063/c3093b9-8c8e63f.pdf
