Parte de CKLN Radio
Produced by the United Nations Radio Service Department of Public Information. Women was a radio program about people, events and issues effecting the lives and circumstances of women around the world. Also featured are interviews with women in leadership positions around the world or in special United Nations programs for women.
The radio show was recorded more than 20 years ago and as a result it utilizes language and terminology that is no longer acceptable for use today and may be considered harmful or racist. The radio recordings themselves cover topics, that often include graphic first person testimonials, that may be harmful or difficult to listen to. Topics include gender, race, religious, ethnic based violence; domestic violence; kidnapping; human trafficking; sexual exploitation of adults and children; child molestation; rape; reproductive rights; reproductive health; death; abortion; war; and violent death.
