Mainstream media coverage of war often distorts or ignores women’s perspectives and
experiences in armed conflict, and also their efforts to build peace. This article focuses
on the work of FIRE (Feminist International Radio Endeavour/Radio Internacional
Feminista), a women’s international Internet radio initiative produced by Latin
American and Caribbean women in Costa Rica, which ‘uses technologies, voices, and
actions’ to amplify the voices of women worldwide as they recount their experiences
and perspectives of armed conflict. In doing so, FIRE helps promote an alternative
vision of human existence that is based on social justice and human rights, and which
serves to strengthen women’s and other social and political movements that are based
on these values.
