Campaign by feminist organisation in Fiji and the Pacific embraces IDAHOT

The feminist news and radio organisation FemLINKPACIFIC will be dedicating a lot of its content to IDAHOT this year. Their theme for the 10th anniversary campaign “Communicating Peace, Development, Diversity, Security and Freedom” will connect with the theme for World Press Freedom Day 2014 as well as the Freedom of Expression theme for IDAHOT 2014.
