Rights on the Radio

Enith and Dacia live on the radio.

With our partner Wangki Tangni in Nicaragua, we run a human rights radio station. Women from the local community share stories and resources over the radio, and bridge connections between remote communities that can only be accessed by boat. The radio program shares vital resources about domestic violence for women in rural areas. Since the launch of the radio station, women have reported that they feel empowered, informed and supported. Thank you for making this possible! Above, you can see Enith Chow and Dacia Pineda live on the radio sharing stories about how women fight violence and build safer communities.
