By Sarah Macharia, Programme Manager for Media and Gender Justice, WACC  | | It is an absolute delight to announce the preliminary findings of the Fourth Global Media Monitoring Project (2010)! This is the moment of truth for thousands around the world who have been engaged in the process since the GMMP began in 1995, and for the thousands of volunteers whose selfless commitment has made GMMP 2010 a reality. It is also a watershed moment for those concerned about the gender dimensions of media wanting to take stock of the progress made during the past decade and a half and to know how much more work lies ahead. |

Introduction by María Teresa Aveggio, Programme Manager  | | In the mid-90s WACC with the generous support of the German agency Evangelisches Missionwerk (EMW) launched a Critical Situations Fund. Through this special Fund support was given to a number of communication initiatives in Rwanda and in Haiti. The Haitian stories which appeared in the report were stories of success of community media which had become a key element in the development of marginalised and remote communities. Over the years, community media, and specially community radio, continued to play a vital role in among the grass roots in Haiti and WACC’s support continued through a number of small projects.

| Le but de ces émissions est d’aider les femmes maliennes en générale, et en particulier celles victimes de violences, à acquérir des informations utiles d’ordres juridique et médical, tout en restant dans l’anonymat. |
Quand l’on considère que les violences sur les femmes sont des thèmes tabous au Mali, on comprend à quel point des telles informations sont cruciales pour ces femmes afin qu’elles puissent s’en sortir.
C’est d’ailleurs, une première au Mali, qu’une association de femmes œuvrant dans le domaine des TIC, vise à lutter contre les violences faites aux femmes à travers l’utilisation des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC), notamment la radio.
L’association « Femmes et TIC » a bénéficié des appuis stratégiques et financiers de l’Association mondiale pour la communication chrétienne (WACC) et de l’Institut International pour la Communication et le Développement (IICD).
