Hello, this question is very interesting as it is often forgotten that not always women and men face the same barriers when talking about "accessing" and even more when we go further in depth with aspects of "controlling". Currently I with the Dimitra Team at FAO and in the contexts where we work, (mainly in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa) several constraints (migratory population movements, limited infrastructure, discrimination, low levels of literacy) limit rural peoples’ access to the information and communication they need to make informed choices and raise their voices at different levels (households, organizations, communities, policy). These constraints are even more true for women who are the backbone of family farming, yet they are often deprived of status, voice, leadership positions, cut-off from decision-making and from the participation as leaders in rural organizations and villages’ meetings.  For this reason it is crucial to integrate a gender perspective in all the phases of a development initiative. In the case of the Dimitra community listeners’ clubs different aspects were considered, such as: the fact that not always women own a radio or have access to one (and even when they have access to radio they are not able to raise their voices and interact with other women of other villages and network); languages in which programmes are broadcast; choose in a participatory manner topics of interest to rural women, men and young people (which may not always coincide); combination of channels of communication (wind-up and solar-powered rural radios, community radios and cell-phones); all this backed by a flexible methodology that enhances participation and discussion for collective action
