Afghan Woman's Hour | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This weekly radio programme for Afghan women and their daughters is broadcast on BBC World Service Radio in Dari and Pashto. It was launched in January 2005. The programme features discussions, reports, drama and recipes. There's information and advice on human rights and gender issues, examples of female role models and solutions to everyday challenges faced by women in their homes and in their communities. Afghan Woman's Hour celebrates the role of women and seeks to empower them through giving them knowledge and solutions and ideas of how to change their lives if they want to. The programme has impressed policy makers and the international development aid community. Initially funded by the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID) and the Foreign Office's Conflict Prevention Pool - it has won new funding from the Foreign Office's Global Opportunities Fund 'Engaging with the Islamic World' which has secured its future for a further 3 years.
