Women and girls in Aceh with fundamental inequalities were intended and unintended casualties of conflict. Most of them were involved and caught in armed conflicts and face sexual violence and exploitation, torture, forced recruitment, rape, mass rape and trafficking. In post conflict, they are often denied to access justice and a role in decision – making, including peace. They are voiceless. We want to rise the voices through this program.
What locality or neighborhood will your project focus on?
Describe the specific community with whom you will be working.
What kinds of news, stories and other content will be created?
The use of media will help them to speak up their mind and gain their rights. As they are now still becoming victims of the inequality and injustice at their daily life in the communities. The project will provide them practical knowledge for writing, creating video, simple photography and using the online and offline media ( POTRET magazine) to rise the voice of women for promoting human rights and women's rights.
What technologies and digital tools do you plan to use in the trainings?
Other tools
Online media (www.potret-online.com) and printed Media (POTRET magazine)
Describe the connections that you or your organization have already established that will contribute to the success of the project.
CCDE has established an offline media, called POTRET magazine for 10 years and developed the potret-online.com in 2012. CCDE has also trained more than 1000 women in Aceh with creative writing skills, but still voiceless. So, by proving this program, they are as potential and strategic partners will contribute a lot to rise women's voice in promoting women's rights and human rights from Aceh to the world through the media we develop
How many participants do you think will be involved in your project?
There will be 15 women from 15 districts in Aceh as the participants of the program. CCDE will select from the community leaders in 15 districts. They will sign contract of commitment to support this program. They will be trained in writing, creating social media and micro blogs for each district community and video recording. To spread their story to the world all the content including video will be published through online and printed media.
Besides the microgrant funding, what other resources and support are you seeking for your project to ensure its success?
Since CCDE publishes POTRET magazine and potret-online.com, other possible resources and support to ensure the project success is by inviting companies or governmental bodies for advertisements. Besides, the printed media can be sold as a part of the financial resource to make the media sustainable.
