On March 8, 2007, the Women’s International Network of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC-WIN) will celebrate Women’s International Day with the 3rd annual Internet Broadcast. The 24-hour broadcast will be dedicated to the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security. The audio marathon will be broadcasted at <www.march8.amarc.org>.

Community radio producers from the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, Europe, North America and Latin America, and the Caribbean will dedicate this day to highlight the efforts of women working for peace and security. The broadcast will include documentaries, interviews, debates, poetry, and music, among others.

This multilingual broadcast campaign mobilises community radios around a global issue and encourages them to use new communication technologies such as the Internet to extend the reach of their words.

Radio stations around the globe are invited to download the audio files from the AMARC March 8 website and broadcast them in their radio stations during the whole month of March 2007.

AMARC is an international NGO serving the community radio movement, and linking more than 3,000 community radios in over 110 countries. AMARC aims to support, defend and promote the interests of community broadcasters through solidarity and international cooperation.

The AMARC Women’s International Network is a large assembly of women communicators working to ensure women’s right to communicate through and within the community radio movement.
