Communication Rights

 

Our Communication Rights programme responds to the needs of marginalised and vulnerable women and girls at different levels of society who have  experienced specific  communication  deficits  in their lives, i.e. not having platforms to amplify their voices, producing relevant content to address their daily needs and concerns, owning media  and  receiving  media products  in a language  they understand and formats that they can easily access. We  provide  conditions needed  for  a positive cycle  of communication  which  does  not only involve seeking,  receiving  and imparting  information  but include listening and being heard, understanding,  learning,   creating   and   responding. Outcomes: We want women and girls to have: Increased access to information  on critical issues; Their voices amplified  in  the  public  domain;  Improved  self-confidence  and  ability  to articulate women’s human rights  for  themselves  by themselves;  Increased freedom  of expression  and freedom of opinion; Produce and consume content (knowledge  and information)  to meet their daily needs. We also anticipate assertive behaviour, mutual respect, tolerance and entrenched democratic participation.

Anticipated outcomes: Increased access to information  on critical issues by women and girls and their voices amplified  in  the  public  domain; Improved  self-confidence and  ability  to  articulate  women’s human  rights  for  themselves  by themselves;  Increased  freedom  of expression and freedom  of opinion; Producing and consuming content (knowledge  and information)  to meet their daily needs. We also anticipate assertive behaviour,  mutual  respect,  tolerance  and entrenched  democratic participation.
