In Africa, women's voices are still largely missing form media, especially the most marginalised, like rural or migrant women. Raising awareness about gender inequalities and women's rights and giving women opportunities to use media to articulate issue and priorities, is an important part of ensuring that these issues receive the attention they need. CMFD works to raise awareness about women's rights and gender through polar forms of entertainment – such as drama and music – as well as working with women, both media professionals and community members, to strengthen the use of media for development.
