Banat wa Bas-Girls Only Radio

ITNsource reports on a community radio initiative:

Amani al-Tunisy, who founded Binat Ou Bas in July 2008, says she was initially inspired by a conversation she overheard in a coffee shop in which three young Egyptian women were discussing the issue of marriage. Al-Tunisy says she was shocked at how much society's expectations seemed to govern their lives, and saw radio as one way to get people talking about issues like marriage, harassment of women, inequality and the need for change.
