Abstract

Media plays an important role in defining gender roles within the society. From traditional media forms to new communication technologies, media has been exercising its influence in creating societal expectations of gender. Radio is one of the oldest and affordable information and communications technology (ICT) tools. It holds potential to bring positive change for women. The importance of radio, or community radio (CR) to be more specific, enhances in the regions marked by restricted mobility, less access to resources, education and low decision-making ability. This article focuses on how CR is facilitating women’s voices in such areas. The role of CR will be illustrated with the example of Alfaz-e-Mewat FM 107.8, a CR station at work in the district of Mewat, Haryana. The case study looks at the role of CR as a communication medium in bringing social change by creating spaces for women to express themselves.
