In celebration of International Women’s Day, Farm Radio Weekly will devote Issue 13 to Africa’s small-scale women farmers. We plan to include a series of stories that will highlight some of the challenges facing women farmers, as well as some of the innovations that are improving their lives. We need your assistance in making this special issue a success! Please post a comment on Farm Radio Weekly’s website (http://weekly.farmradio.org/), or e-mail us at farmradioweekly@farmradio.org with any of the following:
-descriptions of issues faced by women farmers in your area
-examples of agricultural innovations created by women in your area
-examples of women farmers’ groups and/or women’s advocacy groups in your area, their work and their successes
-descriptions of how your radio organization has worked to raise the profile of women farmers and their issues
We look forward to your participation!
