Development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Video Blog 4: What Do You Think about the Title "Be Good to Your Macho (Man) in Bed?"

0 comments

This Spanish language Video Blog 4: ¿Qué opinan del titular "Sé buena con tu macho en la cama?" is coupled with segments of a discussion on the media presentation of sexuality and gender embodied in the question in this title.

After watching a video blog of people discussing an article published in a Colombian daily entitled "Sé buena con tu macho en la cama" advocating that women be more forthright in their approach to sex with their male partners to satisfy them, Diana Ángel asks her studio guests their opinion on how the media deals with issues of sexuality (view here). This opinion exchange deals with how to build equal and equitable relationships based on mutual respect. It also touches on gender-based violence and what to do in response.

In a segment entitled San Juan Nepemuceno, young women respond negatively to the title, suggesting instead that articles should ask how "we can both please each other." Men also see the objectification of women in the article. The host suggests that any list of what women should do for men is another form of sexual violence against women.
