We celebrate ethnic programming and many different languages and communities having access to the airwaves. But do women and young people within those ethnic communities have the same access to their voices being heard in the airwaves?
We discussed with a great panel that includes Areej Nur, a young broadcaster currently producing at 3CR and Namila Benson, who began as a young producer in community radio two decades ago.
This discussion was originally broadcasted on April 8 from Gertrude Contemporary as part of a panel celebrating the history of Ethic Programming in community Radio. This show was part of the 40th birthday celebration of 3CR community Radio.
Listen to the section dedicated to Women in Community Language programming.
