In conjunction with the commemoration of the International Women’s Day, the ILO in collaboration with the Indonesia’s Delta Female Network (JDFI) conducted a series of interactive radio talkshows every Wednesday from 22 February to 8 March. These talkshows were simultaneously aired by three national radio stations under JDFI: 101.8 Bahana FM, 99.1 Delta FM and 97.9 Female Radio.

Each week, the talkshows raised different issues: care economy, prevention of harassment and violence at work and digitalization for youth.
