By Sushila Aryal | Station Manager, Radio Mankhu
Less than 3% of the Community Radio Stations in Nepal are owned by women and less than 5% have women in management positions. Our station manager recently attended a national conferencee on women in radion in Nepal. The 250 women in attendance discussed the challenges facing women in media, and in radio. Radio Mankhu is one of the few women owned and women managed stations in Nepal. Our goal is to excel in radio and encourage other women to do the same. A lot of great ideas were put forth at the meeting but the huge challenge for women is how to finance radio stations and how to grow them. Since few women work outside the home access to funds is a major barrier to women's radio in Nepal.
Radio Mankhu has been on the air for a little over one year now and seeks your help to expand our range, acquire more listeners and inspire women's radio.
Our sister organization, Her Farm FIlms was hired to take photos and videos of the event and we are sharing a few with you here.
