Project: Advancing Gender Justice with Community Broadcasters in Kyrgyzstan
Evaluation Date: April 2022
Report: [report link]
Lesson Learned:

Community media is key in Kyrgyzstan, given the geographic challenges of rural communities in remote and mountainous locations, where regional news do not reach the country as a whole, and vice versa. Alternative channels of access to information complement national and regional information. It is thus key in advancing gender justice through gender-sensitive information and conscious opposition to gender stereotypes.
