Human Rights Radio: a Path to Safety

By MADRE | MADRE

When we last reported to you, we let you know that thanks to your support, we were able to purchase equipment for our very own human rights radio station. And the good news keeps on coming!

We recently heard from Wangki Tangni, our on the ground partners in Nicaragua, with an update. They told us that just last month, with your support, we installed our brand new radio tower! This tower will broadcast our human rights radio shows to women in scattered and isolated communities across the region.

Through the solar radios that your generous support has already delivered to 115 communities, survivors of abuse will now get information on key protective services — like the shelters, medical care and legal services that Wangki Tangni and MADRE provide. Thanks to you, women facing violence will know where to go to find help.

Thanks so much for supporting this important project and for giving abused women in Nicaragua a vital path to safety.
