In 2024, EcoRise South launched a radio-based advocacy campaign to advance gender equality and women’s participation in leadership across rural and urban communities. Through interactive talk shows, we engaged women leaders, activists, and policymakers to discuss challenges like political exclusion, economic barriers, and harmful stereotypes. The campaign reached over 50,000 listeners, sparking community debates and inspiring women to take on leadership roles. Additionally, we partnered with local women’s groups to amplify grassroots voices. The project strengthened public discourse on gender rights and laid the foundation for future advocacy through media and mentorship programs.
