The program \"Personal Development and Professional Improvement Program (PACE Women), driven through community radio\" aimed to strengthen life skills development, leadership, and prevention of violence against Maya Q'eqch\u00ed and mestizo adolescent girls and young women in Southern Pet\u00e9n during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

To achieve the objective, the following activities were carried out:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Activities 2021<\/h2>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Broadcasting of the Radio Drama \u201cOwner of Your Dreams\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Ten episodes of the radio drama \u201cOwner of Your Dreams\u201d were produced. There were five episodes in Spanish and five in Maya Q'eqch\u00ed language (the same ones), each half an hour long, which were broadcasted once a week by the Shekina community radio.<\/p>\n

The recording of the radio drama involved seven bilingual actors and actresses, four adolescent girls and young women, and three young men, who used popular language for easier comprehension by the listeners.<\/p>\n

The radio drama was written and coordinated by a young woman graduate of the PACE Women program, who is also a trainer for the programs Play Forward, PACE Girls, and PACE Women, thus having extensive knowledge of the program's content.<\/p>\n

The radio drama was based on the four modules of the PACE Women program, which were also covered in the radio programs. Therefore, both the drama and the radio programs strengthened the life skills and leadership development of the participating young girls and women. This year's programs involved 257 adolescent girls and young women from Southern Pet\u00e9n, Guatemala.<\/p>\n

The radio drama was broadcasted by Shekina radio, which, according to its audience survey, reaches one million inhabitants and has a tuning of 18,000 people from Maya Q'eqch\u00ed and Mestizo communities and marginal urban areas of the Pet\u00e9n department. Thus, the impact of this activity extends beyond its target population.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

2. Bilingual Spanish-Maya Q'eqch\u00ed Radio Program \u201cThe ABC of Sexuality\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

Fifteen episodes of the bilingual Spanish-Maya Q'eqch\u00ed radio program \u201cThe ABC of Sexuality\u201d were broadcasted, continuing the topics addressed in the radio drama \u201cOwner of Your Dreams.\u201d These topics were based on the four modules of the PACE Women program: 1. Communication; 2. Problem Solving & Decision Making; 3. Time & Stress Management; and 4. General and Reproductive Health.<\/p>\n

Each program lasted one hour, was broadcasted once a week, and was conducted by bilingual announcers from the AMA Association who graduated from the PACE Women's Curriculum program. The program was also broadcasted via Facebook Live on the AMA Fanpage, reaching more adolescent girls and young women throughout the Pet\u00e9n department.<\/p>\n

In each program, a significant number of women interacted mainly through AMA's Facebook page and WhatsApp, providing comments on the topics and expressing appreciation for addressing these themes, which are not commonly heard on the radio and are very important to them.<\/p>\n

During the programs, inter-institutional spots were also broadcasted about violence prevention and COVID-19 biosafety measures. These spots were produced by the AMA Association and institutions such as the Indigenous Women's Defense Office (DEMI) and the National Civil Police (PNC).<\/p>\n

The program reached 6,000 people through the AMA Facebook Fanpage and was also shared by news pages on Facebook like NotiSur, Orgulloso de ser Poptuneco, Publichal, and Yo soy de San Luis Pet\u00e9n. This allowed it to reach more adolescent girls, young women, and people in general from different communities and marginal urban areas of Guatemala, Belize, and the United States, as evidenced in the program's communication records.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
