Chers tous

Nous vous informons que l’Union Congolaise des femmes des
Médias (UCOFEM), section du Kasaï Occidental en collaboration avec les radios
communautaires sensibilisent la population sur la révision du fichier électoral
pour avoir un taux élevé des électeurs dans notre province avec accent sur la
participation de la femme. C’est dans ce cadre que, à part les émissions
radiodiffusées, la troupe théâtrale UCOFEM a produit sa première sortie
dimanche dernier sur la participation de la femme dans tous les domaines. Notre
objectif était de sensibiliser les femmes à soutenir les candidatures de leurs
homologues femmes et l’interpeller les hommes pour laisser les femmes émergées
et élire les candidatures de leurs choix au moment venu et aussi soutenir les
candidatures des femmes compétentes…

Nous multiplions ces types d’activité pour lutter contre les
coutumes discriminatoires à l’égard de la femme car notre province est parmi
celles où les us et coutumes replient la femme.

CMFE supports the campaign for the increase of the UK Community Radio Fund

The Community Media Forum Europe (CMFE) has written an open letter to the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, and the Secretary of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, Ben Bradshaw, asking them to support the sustainability and growth of community radio in the United Kingdom by substantially increasing the resources of the Community Radio Fund.

British citizens and residents have time to sign the letter via the Prime Minister’s e-petition page until 24 September 2009 and CMFE his encouraging its eliglible members to sign it to support the sector’s campaign.
Sign the e-petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/allthevoices/

In the open letter, CMFE’s President Pieter de Wit stated
'CMFE is encouraging the British Government to support the community media sector with the sums needed to put it on a sustainable long term footing and underlines that these are modest by comparison with the governments separate proposals for investment in local news consortia, the objectives of which can partly be met by the provision of news and information services on community radio stations'.

'CMFE is also aware of that the Department of Culture Media and Sport is currently conducting a review into the Community Radio Order 2004. Alongside that review must be a serious commitment to support the sustainability and development of community radio and its continuing delivery of social and economic benefit, by substantially increasing the government's public spending contribution to the Community Radio Fund'.
