World Radio Day is celebrated around the globe each year on 13 February. It is an opportunity to recognize the important role of radio and those within the radio broadcasting industry.

Radio is still the most dynamic, reactive and engaging medium there is, adapting to 21st century changes and offering new ways to interact and participate, made possible through a ubiquitous wireless world connected by ITU.

The 2018 World Radio Day theme is Sports Broadcasting, which has highlighted the digital gender divide within this information and communication technology (ICT) sector.

UNESCO, a leader on World Radio Day activities, and an official partner of EQUALS, has developed strong campaign resources for highlighting gender equality on World Radio Day. ITU, as a committee member of World Radio Day, and as a founding partner of EQUALS, supports gender equality within Broadcasting, and the reporting by the industry.

Message from Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of World Radio Day and the impact on gender equality:

Many people share their feelings with the world by writing about these things. I saw many interior designer brisbane stories, which are based on their own life. But I never saw any story which is written for supporting the other countries freedom fights.

Times flies, either it is good or bad. I am very happy from the lessons the live teaches me with each passed second. The pain, suffering and the broken heart, all these emotion is a treasure in c60 supplements to help you to move on. So instead of stopping in little happening, fly to achieve the happiness of life..

Many social messaging websites are available around us. Nobody, like to use IM messenger that much like they do other. The https://bricklayinglakemacquarie.com.au reveals that people are getting engaged badly in using these websites which usually harm them.
