Montréal, Mars 21, 2016. Le Association Mondiale des Radiodiffuseurs Communautaires (AMARC) joins UNESCO, Fédération internationale de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge et le Organisation mondiale de la santé in the fight against Zika virus.

From March 21 to April 17, AMARC will mobilize community radio stations from its network in Zika-affected countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to help disseminate prevention and health-related information via an international radio campaign.

INFORMATION POUR LES RADIOS

Une série de trois spots d'information radio produced by UNESCO, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent and the World Health Organization est disponible en quatre langues principales of the region: Anglais, Français, Spanish and Portuguese.

Ces places sont disponibles à tous les membres des stations de radio communautaires / affiliées à AMARC pour la diffusion de Mars 21 to April 17, 2016. Les taches audio sont disponibles en téléchargement sur Soundcloud et sur Site de l'AMARC.

Le 60 seconds audio spots depict two neighbors who inform each other about the risks of Zika and the best ways to protect against mosquitoes carrying the virus. The dialog provides all the necessary information. It continues with a third person, in order to illustrate the role that each of us can play in the dissemination of prevention messages.

• “Protection from vector” (Spot 1) provides general information and effective measures to respect, to protect oneself his community. It is a general mobilization message.
• “Protect pregnant women” (Spot 2) aims to educate pregnant women about the specific risks of Zika virus. The virus is transmitted from mother to child, so it is important to protect especially pregnant women. This is everyone’s concern.
• “Avoiding rumors” (Spot 3) aims to propagate real and valid information about the virus and risks. This is to dispel the rumors and not to let a panic atmosphere arise in communities.

Spot 1 is accessible to download (copyright free) sur Soundcloud et Site de l'AMARC.
