The Malawian radio show that helped girls gain access to education

How the listeners of a Malawian radio show took action to help girls get to school

We learn of how a community call-in show led to structural change in Malawi which is set to improve the lives of hundreds of young women.

Plus, how one woman has mobilised over a million women to amplify their voices on issues that matter, through social media.

Also, we meet Zeina Mutola who works on a radio programme on the outskirts of Mozambique's capital, Maputo with a very clear mission - called "Marriage only later!" And as she explains, she hopes the power of radio will change attitudes and practices in society.
