Radio Production Training
“As indigenous women, we have our space in the radio. And this space… I know that the mainstream radio would never give it to us because we are women and as indigenous people we are discriminated against. In this case, in our radio, we have space to express ourselves and to say what we feel, what we think… about our (traditional) clothing, about our language…,” Anglelica Cubur from Radio Ixchel in rural Guatemala.
