Media literacy and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) enable individuals to access, analyze, and critically evaluate sexual and reproductive health information. Media literacy plays a fundamental role in promoting and protecting SRHR by guaranteeing informed access to information and services and choices about one’s body and health without discrimination or misinformation.
Media literacy refers to the ability to analyze and critically evaluate information from various sources in order to make informed decisions, especially regarding health issues. SRHR are human rights that ensure every individual the freedom to make informed decisions about their sexuality and reproduction. This includes access to sex education, contraception, and protection from violence and discrimination without coercion.
The link between the two lies in access to reliable information. This helps individuals to avoid the risks associated with misinformation, particularly on sensitive issues such as contraception, abortion and sexually transmitted infections.
This radio script explores media literacy in relation to SRHR, addressing the consequences of misinformation and disinformation. It features three key figures: Ms. Ange Noa, a University of Abidjan-Cocody student ; Ms. Bamoli Vanessa, an engineer and president of an association that supports people living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); and Mr. Kebe Mamady, media expert.
If you wish to produce a similar program on media literacy and SRHR, you may use this script for inspiration. If you decide to present it as part of your regular program, you can hire voice actors/actresses or hosts to portray the interviewees. In this case, please inform your audience at the beginning of the program that these are the voices of actors and actresses or hosts, not those of the actual interviewees.
To create programs on media literacy and SRHR, talk to a victim, a media expert and a sexual and reproductive rights specialist.
For example, you could ask your interviewees the following questions:
- When we talk about SRHR, Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights, what does it mean to you?
- What role should the media play in ensuring access to reliable information on reproductive healthHow can misinformation affect people’s decisions about sexual and reproductive health?
- What are the main strategies for improving media literacy about SRHR?
Length of program, including introduction and conclusion: 25 to 30 minutes.
