It examines the representation and perception of key themes broadcast by radio and associated with women’s empowerment in the three countries. Each chapter contextualises a specific topic in the country and then explores discrete aspects of radio’s provision. The topics covered in the chapters are women’s political engagement; women and finances; women and life within marriage; inheritance; women’s involvement in radio structures; and radio, internally displaced women, and trauma. Given the social, economic and political vulnerability and deteriorating security situation of the three countries, this book provides a timely and meaningful contribution to acknowledging and understanding the vital role of radio in women’s empowerment. Emma Heywood is a Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Radio and Communication at the University of Sheffield. Her research focuses on the role and impact of radio in conflict-affected areas, particularly regarding perceptions and representations of women’s rights and empowerment in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso.Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change,2634-6400CommunicationJournalismCommunication in economic developmentSexFeminismFeminist theoryMedia and CommunicationJournalismDevelopment CommunicationGender StudiesFeminism and Feminist TheoryCommunication.Journalism.Communication in economic development.Sex.Feminism.Feminist theory.Media and Communication.Journalism.Development Communication.Gender Studies.Feminism and Feminist Theory.384.540820966Heywood Emma1585554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799280403321Radio and Women's Empowerment in Francophone West Africa3870714UNINA
