Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through BBC World Service Trust, USAID]

The project will build community capacity to prevent bonded labor by using the mass reach and appeal of radio drama to promote knowledge and community advocacy among those most vulnerable.

The project will develop and broadcast a weekly radio program in Hindi on All India Radio (AIR) stations across Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

As part of its social mobilization strategy, the project will develop listeners' groups and train community based reporters.

These groups will coordinate with different agencies and stakeholders to make their communities more aware of the situations that lead to bonded labor.

BBC World Service Trust will adapt the radio programs into a communication toolkit for community awareness activities by NGOs and will measure the impact of the radio program on audiences' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to bonded labor.
