The 16th World Social Forum, held under the banner "Another World is Possible," concluded on February 19, 2024, with a resounding message that Indigenous voices cannot be silenced in the fight for global justice and sustainability.

Seven years ago, a group of us working Indigenous journalists in Nepal realized a collective dream to give voice, access, and participation to a largely ignored, ethnically diverse sector of Indigenous Peoples. Our mandate was to inform, educate, and entertain Indigenous Peoples in their native languages, and in doing so, to enrich Nepali culture as a whole.

"I am sometimes asked what it’s like living in the 'disaster hit district' and running community radio. People often are surprised by me, being a woman station manager, and their questions are mainly about the role that community radio plays in informing locals living in an area at risk of disaster and the sustainability of radio itself," says Sunita Lama, Station Manager of Radio Jugal, a 2021 Cultural Survival Indigenous Community Media Fund grant partner.
