Join us in celebrating UN Day on October 24 at the World Heritage Grimeton!<\/p>\n

This year, hundred years have passed since equal voting rights for men and women were introduced in Sweden. It is a human right that everyone can make their voices heard in fundamental issues and is prerequisite for creating a democratic and peaceful society.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, we want to raise the power of women in peace issues. Therefore the organization Acting 4 Change, that works with the project\u00a0 womens empowerment in Casamance\u00a0in Senegal, is invited to talk about women\u2019s participation in the peace process from a Senegalese perspective.<\/p>\n

During the evening, a peace message is sent with the old long-wave transmitter\u00a0SAQ<\/strong>\u00a0and finally we listen to Senegalese rhythms performed by Kilimandiarou.<\/p>\n

The event is held in the radio station building with free admission.
