IWTC has produced two sets of prototype radio programs about
UNSCR 1325 in partnership with community broadcasters in the
Philippines and Uganda. The first set was dubbed and broadcast in
English and Filipino for an audience in the Philippines and other
parts of Asia. The second set was made
available in English, Luganda and Swahili for listeners in Uganda
and other conflict-affected countries in Africa.
These radio productions are the first in a series of IWTC
productions that aim to raise awareness about the varied aspects of
SCR 1325 including the National Action Plans on SCR 1325 as well as
other international conventions and legal mechanisms relevant to
women in conflict situations. Further, they represent IWTC’s efforts
to develop a core group of broadcasters, print journalists and other
media practitioners who will ensure a sustained flow of information
about SCR 1325, other legal mechanisms and how they can be used to
protect and promote women’s rights.
All radio productions are now being aired a number of community
radio stations in Asia and Africa. Below are the scripts that have
been used in the radio productions in Asia and Africa
In 2006, IWTC plans to produce new local language radio programs
related to women, peace and security and translate the existing ones
for dissemination to a larger audience. Preparations are now
underway for the radio productions in Liberia in June 2006.
