Radio ONU difuzează mai multe reportaje despre viaţa fetelor şi a femeilor din Moldova
“15” – aşa se numeşte un nou proiect al Radio ONU. “15”– deoarece exact atâţia ani au trecut de când liderii lumii au participat la conferinţa mondială de la Pekin, unde şi-au luat angajamentul de a face mai bună viaţa fetelor şi a femeilor. Tot “15” este şi vârsta fetelor care s-au născut în anul când a avut loc acea conferinţa.
Cum trăiesc fetele acum? În ce măsură angajamentele luate atunci au fost respectate, iar viaţa lor a devenit mai bună? La aceste întrebări au încercat să răspundă corespondenţii Radio ONU, care au iniţiat un proiect de comunicare prin care au vizitat mai multe ţări, realizând reportaje impresionante despre viaţa fetelor şi a femeilor. Printre ţările vizitate s-a aflat şi Republica Moldova.
