RNW Media

‘Citizens’ Voice’ is RNW Media's programme designed to strengthen social cohesion and inclusive governance so young people can be meaningful participants and leaders in their communities.[8] Citizens’ Voice creates digital communities where young people can come together to voice opinions, discuss sensitive subjects, engage in constructive dialogue and imagine the kind of society they want to live in. Local networks of journalists, bloggers and change-makers from across the political and social spectrum run the Citizens’ Voice platforms and use modern media strategies to spark and moderate discussions and foster diversity of opinion. Currently Citizen's Voice is active in Yemen,[9] Libya,[10] Burundi,[11] Democratic Republic of Congo,[12] Mali,[13] China[14] and Egypt.[15]

It is a global digital community supporting safe, healthy and pleasurable love, sex and relationships for young people.[16] Love Matters uses a social franchise model to ensure sustainability of impact and provides online educational platforms that deliver accessible evidence- and right-based information and advice to young people. The programme also creates online spaces for visitors to share their thoughts and ask questions to experts. Currently, Love Matters is active in China,[17] India,[18] Kenya,[19] DRC,[20] Nigeria,[21] Egypt[22] and Mexico.[23]
