We had been receiving calls into the live broadcast for several weeks, desperate calls, people asking for food, for help, for trains or buses to go home. For help in getting their held-back salaries. We would give out helpline numbers, nodal officers&amp;rsquo; numbers, and links where people could register for transport. But many would call back and say, the helpline is not responsive, rations are not being delivered, their names are not being called for trains or buses.</description></item><item><title>Addressing the psycho-social impact of Covid-19 through on-air counseling</title><link>/campaigns/covid-19/addressing-the-psycho-social-impact-of-covid-19-through-on-air-counseling/</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0530</pubDate><guid>/campaigns/covid-19/addressing-the-psycho-social-impact-of-covid-19-through-on-air-counseling/</guid><description>As India completes nearly one month of an enforced lockdown, it has become evident that the stresses of losing livelihoods, and incomes, forced isolation and cramped family quarters, is leading to monumental psycho-social symptoms among people, especially the poor, which is also reflected in the huge spike in domestic violence and child abuse complaints in one month alone.
To provide a support system to our listeners at this time of stress, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz, in partnership with Rajbala Foundation, takes its on-going Udaan series, and turns its lens on counseling during the Covid-19 lockdown.</description></item><item><title>Media coverage of our Covid-19 Campaign</title><link>/references/media-coverage-of-our-covid-19-campaign/</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0530</pubDate><guid>/references/media-coverage-of-our-covid-19-campaign/</guid><description>The Wire covers the GKA Covid-19 Campaign.

And how we as Indians propagate that culture every day. Our anger now stems from the brutality of the rape in question, because rape itself, is now normalised. This show questions that normalcy and breaks down everything that contributes to it- from language, to ideas of consent, popular culture, authority, agency of the woman, and deep rooted patriarchy.</description></item><item><title>Bhasha Mein Ling Bhed</title><link>/programs/bhasha-mein-ling-bhed/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0530</pubDate><guid>/programs/bhasha-mein-ling-bhed/</guid><description>Feminist activist, storyteller, poet and advertising professional Saumya Baijal unpacks how we use language in this program series.
Our everyday language is deeply sexist. In both use of general words, and the sentences we often say that stem from deep patriarchal though. For eg. &amp;lsquo;Shaadi ho nahin rahi&amp;rsquo; takes away the agency of choice from the woman the conversation is being had about vs &amp;lsquo;Shaadi kar nahin rahi&amp;rsquo; that reaffirms that agency.</description></item><item><title>Apni Pasand</title><link>/programs/apni-pasand/</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2020 15:39:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>/programs/apni-pasand/</guid><description>Music is the key to building an engaging radio station.

However, in terms of government-run hospitals, Gurgaon is fairly weak. The old Civil Hospital is being demolished and will be re-built. All health services have been shifted to the Civil Hospital in Sector 10.
The city also has Primary Health Centre or PHCs in urban villages mostly catering to the lakhs of migrant workers who live and work in Gurgaon and who cannot afford private healthcare.</description></item><item><title>Our Schedule</title><link>/radio/schedule/</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2020 15:33:13 +0000</pubDate><guid>/radio/schedule/</guid><description>Weekly Schedule</description></item><item><title>List of chemists in Gurgaon</title><link>/references/list-of-chemists-in-gurgaon/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2020 18:30:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/references/list-of-chemists-in-gurgaon/</guid><description>The district administration Gurugram has notified certain chemists who can stay open during the 21-day Covid-19 Lockdown.</description></item><item><title>Live Broadcast</title><link>/radio/live/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/radio/live/</guid><description>1.
