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.
The elderly are becoming a greater proportion of India’s population, and many of them are women who had a lifetime of underemployment before becoming too frail to work, but still have overwhelming financial responsibilities. Jacintha Kumaraswamy (founder of Sakti), staff, a volunteer, and the elder women beneficiaries, tell how the project evolved as a community endeavor, what it provides, what its recipients face, how they are helped, and what else might be in its future.
Featured speakers of today’s program are Jacintha Kumaraswamy (Sakti founder); Chithra and Thenmozhi (staff); Abhay Shirvastav (volunteer); and Elders: Alamelu, Vishalakshi, Indraniamma, Fairoz, and Thulasamma.
The Women’s International News Gathering Service (WINGS) has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio since 1986. Links and producers’ guidelines at www.wings.org.
