From 10-12 November, CMFD facilitated a workshop in which young media students, representatives of organisations, and survivors of gender violence collaborated to make radio features that will be included on the CD. The end result is some features exploring domestic violence, xenophobia and also the human trafficking issue: what is human trafficking, how does it feel to see a friend in this situation, and how can we prevent it?

Tjoon’in is a Gender Links production in partnership with Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and Gauteng Women in Transport, produced with assistance from CMFD Productions as part of the 2008 16 Days of Activism campaign. The CD is a mix of fun and interesting audio pieces, including spots (PSAs), music, personal testimonies, and reports that raise awareness about various 16 Days themes, particularly gender violence, xenophobia, human trafficking, and men as partners. This feature report looks at the gender persective of  xenophobic violence and how creative energies,  from music to soccer, are bringing cultures together.
