The Center concentrates all the activities for the production of the radio broadcasts. This includes the elaboration and daily live broadcasts of, programs focusing on specific topics and educational campaigns. The first action taken by CEMINA was the production of the radio program “Women Speak Up”, broadcasted daily through the radio station Guanabara, in Rio de Janeiro, between 1990 and 2001.

Elaborated in a dynamic way, the program focused on giving visibility to women’s actions in society. Through the use of their own voices they illustrate the way they have occupied spaces in the public arena, articulating new projects and strategies to solve problems, and highlighting their entrepreneurship in cultural actions and in their own enterprises. The program is conceived not only as a way to raise the voice of women, but also to promote debates about themes showing the current social inequalities, mainly in terms of gender and human rights.

The radio program Women Speak Up has become a well-known part of CEMINA, although since 1992, its team has also been involved, in the elaboration of special radio educational programs and campaigns about women’s health, sexual and reproductive rights, STD’s/AIDS, breast feeding, violence against women, and the environment and human rights. All these progams have been distributed to radio stations throughout the country.

In partnership with international development agencies such as UNIFEM and UNICEF, campaigns have been organized to promote awareness of the recommendations issued from important key Conferences promoted by the United Nations.
