Dear Friend,
With your support, Cultural Survival is addressing the critical needs of Indigenous communities worldwide. Will you help us build a future guided by the wisdom and leadership of Indigenous Peoples?
Thanks to your support, on June 7-9, the 2024 Indigenous Women Radio Broadcasters Exchange took place in Tlayacapan, Morelos, Mexico. The event was attended by 22 Indigenous women communications from Puebla, Morelos, Guerrero, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Chiapas, and Oaxaca.
Aligned with one of Cultural Survival's objectives to strengthen the capacities of Indigenous women radio broadcasters to amplify their voices and increase their participation in community radio stations within their territories, this meeting focused on training participants in radio editing and production.
Additionally, there were reflections on critical topics for Indigenous Peoples: the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) and the new threat to territories posed by the extraction of so-called transition minerals needed for the production of batteries for electric vehicles among other technologies.
Throughout this transformative three-day exchange, participants deepened their understanding of FPIC and transition minerals and honed their skills in radio production. This exchange underscored the vital role of Indigenous women in shaping the future of community radio—amplifying their stories, advocating for their rights, and driving social change. As they continue to build on the knowledge shared and feedback received, these women are not only enhancing the quality of their radio productions but also paving the way for future generations of Indigenous women to be heard, empowered, and celebrated in community radio.
