Context
According to the 2015 Violence Map, Alagoas is the third most violent state for women in Brazil. According to this map and data from the Court of Alagoas, in the last ten years there has been an increase of 92.5% in cases involving violence against women. It is relevant to say that, in most cases, the victims of physical and psychological violence are single and are aged between 30 and 40 years, followed by those who are between 18 and 24 years.
In the municipality of Campestre, there have been many cases of violence against women, but many ended up hushed within their own families or in different social groups and went unreported.
About the organization
The Campestre FM Community Radio Association was founded in June 1998 due to problems with communication caused by the difficult access to this location. There was only satellite TV signal and Pernambuco radio, in medium wave. There are no printed newspapers in the city. This difficult scenario has generated the need to create, enhance and disseminate communication in the city. Thus, activities were strengthened and Campestre FM Community Radio started to work more effectively with training activities in the community. This was initiated through a partnership with CEMINA organization, from Rio de Janeiro, followed by the creation of the Telecentre, which enabled other partnerships and the development of other projects, such as Estação Digital Campestre, Replicating Knowledge, Ponto de Cultura, and Guardians of Jacuípe Valley.
