In this issue we list web sites from women's organisations in Africa and beyond which we have found useful and which contribute to increasing the gender content of the World Wide Web. Flamme - African Sisters Online Flame is a network of African sisters. Flame serves as an electronic forum for women to share and exchange ideas, strategies and issues of concern to impact on the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action.
Documents are available in English and French.
The web site is in English French and Spanish. A central aim of the project is to increase gender content on community radio stations and to improve information and communication skills capacity amongst participating organisations to enable them to deal with the media, and to prepare radio-ready content for community radio. The project has established a web-based clearing house of radio content on women's and gender issues and aims to repackage and channel relevant information on women's and gender issues to community radio. The project will publish locally sourced information on women and gender in a radio-ready format on the Internet. Feminist International Radio Endeavour - FIRE FIRE disseminates women's voices in all their diversity, so that they can be heard by men and women around the world, crossing barriers of nationality, culture, race, geography and language, and contributing to bridge the gender gap.
