Community radios demand an end to gender violence!

Women's International Network of the World Association of Community Radio
Broadcasters (AMARC-WIN) actively participated in the 16 days of activism
against gender violence with an Internet campaign to honor groups and
individuals who have committed to bringing Violence against women (VAW) to
the forefront of global attention, to encouraging everyone in their
various capacities to take action to end VAW, and to demanding
accountability for all of the promises made to eliminate VAW. The audio
documents and other information are available on
http://www.amarc.org/16days.
This yearsâ international theme of the campaign was «Commit - Act -
Demand: We CAN End Violence against Women! ».

for the Elimination of Violence Against Women; it continued on November
29th with the International Womenâs Human Rights Defenders Day; followed
by December 1: World AIDS Day; December 6: the 20th Commemoration day of
the Montreal (Canada) Massacre in 1989 and ended on December 10th with the
