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. ‘Shaadi ho nahin rahi’ takes away the agency of choice from the woman the conversation is being had about vs ‘Shaadi kar nahin rahi’ that reaffirms that agency. Similarly, when a woman/girl does something courageous she is looked at as the son of the home, with sentences like ‘yeh toh mera beta hai’, which automatically insinuate that only men can be courageous. So we did an 8 episode series, questioning words, language that we use and listen to everyday. In our own families and in popular culture.
Gurgaon Ki Awaaz takes up some of the most burning issues in our community and design radio campaigns around them.
In contrast to programs, which can be a part of a campaign, a campaign is sustained, collaborative, with detailed formative research, and participatory.
Our on-going campaign is the Covid-19 Campaign to ensure that verified, actionable, hyper-local information on Covid-19, Coronavirus, the arrangements being made by the Gurugram district administration, the restrictions to movements, the availability of essential commodities, and access to doctors and hospitals, is made available on a daily basis to our listeners.
