Saleema goes on Radio
“The Saleema Radio Drama might be a good way to give people
the strength to fight together for the prosperity of our girls,” said Fadwa,
one of the participants of the Saleema Radio Drama Workshop organized by the
National Council for Child Welfare in Khartoum on 21 and 22 July 2014.
The workshop was called to engage youth and partners
in developing a radio drama based on the Saleema Initiative’s values and ground
message: ‘every girl is born saleema, let every girl grow saleema’.
During the workshop participants were engaged in
writing the plot of the drama. As one of the participants, Mohammed, admitted,
“writing the episodes was very challenging” however, “we did our best because
we believe Saleema is needed in our society”.
It is worth mentioning the participants’ enriching
contribution to the workshop’s objectives through sharing personal experiences
or their families’ stories related to FGM/C abandonment. As one of the youth
participants – Sahar - said “People’s desire to share, reveals their strong
will for change”.
The end of the Radio Drama Workshop was met with
excitement, as it indicates that we are one step forward to have Saleema Radio
Drama on air!
