BNNRC has implemented the Girl Power Project in collaboration with Plan International and other nine partner organizations in Bangladesh to sensitize and further activate the media professionals (both media initiators and journalists) to contribute to eliminate the violence against girls and young women through media. BNNRC has trained 350 Community Radio Broadcasters and mainstream media practitioners. 3 awarding events were organized for their best reporting and programs. Around 500 motivated CR Broadcasters and other mainstream media practitioners (both print and electronic) are now engaged to make more quality radio and TV programs, reports and news through their own media channels.
