Loliondo FM now runs a weekly
programme on gender equality as a result of the UNESCO trainings for
journalist. This programme has invited the police desk and UNESCO
representatives to introduce the reporting system for gender-based violence
incidents in district and ward offices. As a result, the station has received
calls and text messages from girls about gender-based violence cases.
“People now consider Loliondo FM as
another reporting desk for discussing gender-based violence cases”, says
Mathias “We help find solutions with community members and ward officials.”
“One happy memory is when an
income-generating group of girls called to me to visit their village”, says
Mathias. “They were dropped-out-of school girls participating the Joint
Programme. With support from UNESCO, they were able to develop entrepreneurial
and pre-vocational skills and turn their lives around. They formed a group
called 'Shinning Group', making and selling soap and grain and nuts flour. In
March, they opened a restaurant. They shared their story and advertised their
products through radio.”
The station has also recently been
airing weekly COVID-19 briefs to keep community members abreast of the latest
developments and provide up-to-date information and advice.
