Radio: Afghan women's health hotline

Описание: In the four years since the change of power in Afghanistan, Afghan media have expanded their role. They now not only deliver the news but are also service providers fulfilling the humanitarian need for health information, with a special focus on women and older girls who can no longer study outside their homes.

With most of the Afghan population living in rural areas, radio stations are at the forefront of this service. There are several radio programmes where women can call in with medical questions anonymously and get answers from trained doctors and health professionals. This information is crucial for a large section of the population that otherwise has nowhere to turn to for help.

However, Afghan media are in a financial crisis, with nearly 50% of the media outlets shutting down in the past four years due to lack of funds. Women and girls of Afghanistan depend on media for their survival, and these media outlets depend on you. They need your support to continue their efforts to address the needs of women and girls.

Every day, women call in with urgent medical questions.

Every answer could save a life.

You can help.
