Setting structures in Bremen Namibia Tanzania Burkina Faso

Ntombi Langa Radio is a project that seeks to link African women’s voices in Bremen, Germany, & Diasporan communities on one hand & and on the other hand, reach out to the regions of Sub-Sahara Africa. African women in the Diaspora have important life-saving information to share with African women in the Sub-Sahara continent. The themes will focus on the risks and challenges of migration: deaths through dehydration, abductions by slave traders and organ harvesters, and human trafficking. The genital cutting of girls in Germany, Europe and in some African communities is the hot topic. The forums will debate such criminal acts, as per Geneva convention. The radio will also discuss child marriages and how it impedes the girl-empowerment.

Giving information about causes, and effects on migration should be facilitated in Sub-Saharan communities first. This first-hand information should come from women in the Diaspora.
-The escape routes to Europe and the consequences in the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, dealing with smuggling gangs and subsequent dangers and the current lives of African women in the Diaspora is a life-saving information to be shared with women in Africa.
The genital cutting of children in African societies in Germany and Europe-wide will be thematized: the criminal aspect of genital cutting in Germany, African women may not know, is important information for African Diasporan women to share in radio platforms.
-There should be a shift in the mindset of African youth that leaving African is solving their economic challenges: in retrospect, it is the beginning of serious challenges in EU countries. African youth should see Africa as their own continent with unlimited resources. Greener pastures are not green!
-Podcasts on these above topics is important information for women in Africa before they can make these perilous journeys.

The target groups are women in Sub-Sahara Africa and African women in the Diaspora.

Why you should assist this project!
-About 600,000 women living in Europe have been subjected to FGM and a further 180,000 girls are at a high risk of FGM in 13 European countries alone.
FGM is an expression of deeply entrenched gender inequalities, grounded in a mix of cultural, religious, and social factors inherent within patriarchal families and communities.

Their aim is to reach the shores of Europe.
Journeys through the Sahara are made daily.
Dozens of deaths are due to dehydration & hunger.
Dozens are sold as sex-slaves in north African cities & the Middle East.
