This edition features a story from Mali about abortion, and a story from Malawi about puberty. These topics fall under the broad category of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Our Script of the week is a series of interview questions that is designed to help you interview ordinary men and women about their experiences with these issues.
These questions are designed to help broadcasters conduct interviews with men and women who are comfortable having discussions about their sexual and reproductive health on air. Some interviewees may prefer to remain anonymous (unidentified) while speaking about these topics. So, remember to ask interviewees whether or not they want to remain anonymous on air and respect their preference. Keep in mind that you may need more than one interviewee to respond to all of the following questions. It is suggested that you interview at least one man and one woman.
These questions touch on a variety of specific issues within the broad category of sexual and reproductive health and rights, including:
- The definition of “sexual and reproductive health and rights”
- Sex education
- Taboo subjects
- Awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights services in the community
- Contraception
- Shame and stigma
