In NICARAGUA, a country where the Catholic Church dominates government policy, that process is uniting the opponents of sexism, machismo and homophobia to challenge deeply imbedded cultural traditions. Award-winning Radio Netherlands producer ERIC BEAUCHEMIN profiles activist groups there - Puntos de Encuentro (Meeting Points) and the Xochiquetzal Foundation - that are using local organizing and various forms of media to counter government-promoted inaccuracies (at worst) or inaction (at best) on issues ranging from sexual orientation discrimination to HIV education.
