RadioHRD: Colombia

In September 2012, Front Line Defenders launched a radio Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign on radio stations throughout Colombia, in partnership with the Colombian organization MOVICE. The campaign featured 6 PSAs focused on 6 HRDs (Henry Díaz, Luz Elena Galeano Laverde, Henry Díaz, Martha Giraldo, Ruby Castaño and Teofilo Acuña with each PSA broadcasting for 2 weeks. The bilingual website www.radiohrd.org featured the broadcasts and more information about each HRD, including video profiles and context, and visitors were asked to sign onto petitions for each HRD. The PSAs were picked up for rebroadcast in El Salvador and on a Basque radio station in Spain. Later, video PSAs were made and broadcast on Bogota's Canal Capital (Bogota-based public TV channel).
