Central American Programmes
Decolonial Narratives

We work to strengthen the capacities of indigenous, peasant, Afro-descendant, feminist and youth collectives in Central America.

Our aim is to promote racial justice and historical redress through their media, supporting their political, social and racial participation.

The Importance of Community and Feminist Media

In a region where gender inequalities and gender-based violence are very marked, lommunity and feminist media are essential for the empowerment of women and marginalised communities. These media not only inform, but they also educate and mobilise the population on crucial issues such as human rights, gender equality, social justice and democracy.

Community Radio connects rural and urban communities, The project is designed to provide vital information and encourage citizen participation.

Feminist Media addresses gender issues from a critical perspective, challenging traditional and patriarchal narratives. These spaces enable women and other excluded groups to narrate their own stories and experiences.

Our commitment

For Calala, supporting these groups and recognising the diverse voices and knowledge of collectives is fundamental to building more just and equitable societies. By strengthening the creators of decolonial narratives and content, we drive deep and sustainable change and contribute to the creation of a world where all voices are heard and valued.
