Femmes et Radio au Maghreb (Women and Radio in the Maghreb)

Published by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Office in Rabat as part of its 2010-2013 programme to advance gender equality in media content of the Maghreb countries, this guide is designed to help radio owners, managers, and producers to create gender-sensitive content and to reduce stereotyping in their productions. It is the second in a series being produced to ensure gender equality in media content and follows the first guide, Femme et television au Maghreb (Women and Television in the Maghreb).

According to the publishers, despite the liberalisation of radio stations in the Maghreb countries that started in 1990s and the new usage of radio through internet, radio programmes remain steeped in the socially built inequalities and do not adequately reflect the realities of women in the societies. Women are less frequently interviewed and their points of views are neglected in media.
