WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
Adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council on 31 October 2000 were 1325 calls for women’s participation in conflict resolution, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. The now-closed Women’s Tribune Center, which specialized in disseminating information from the UN in forms usable at the grassroots, commissioned radio announcements and dramas on the topic. Included in this 2007 WINGS production are dramas from Uganda, the Philippines, and Liberia.
Featuring:
Rachel Mayanja, longtime Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General on Gender Issues & the Advancement of Women; Jessica Nkuuhe, who at the time of this interview was Director of Isis-WICCE, an international women’s resource centre based in Ugan.
