WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
As of October 25, 2015, Chile’s Congress is debating de-criminalizing abortion in cases of life-endangerment, fetal malformation, and – up to 18 weeks only – cases of rape. But of an estimated 33,000 abortions a year in that country, few fall into those categories. The rest avail themselves of clandestine abortion. This program won the Radio Award from the International Association of Women in Radio and TV in 2015.
