Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Genesis - TONIGHT at 8:30 PM

On tonight's episode of Genesis we'll be hearing an episode of Making Contact's Women Rising series entitled "Rescuers of Wildlife" (2008). Women are gaining influence as leaders throughout the world, fighting for peace, justice and the environment and civil society. In this program we profile four animal rights activists:

• Alice Ng has worked with Wild Aid, founded Animal Balance in the Galapagos Islands and is now the executive director of Animals Asia Foundation.
• Romsamira Guillen is the executive director of Proyecto Titi, promoting the survival of the Cotton-top Tamarian Monkey and its habitat in Columbia.
• Lorena Aguilar is an executive with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, specializing in community and gender issues.
• Elena Bykova heads up Wildlife Conservation Network's Saiga Conservation Alliance to preserve the Saiga Antelope in Uzbekistan.
