Abstract	Abstract Community Radio Stations (CRS) have emerged as powerful tools for social change, particularly in the development of gender equality in rural and underserved areas. In Karnataka, these stations have been pivotal in raising awareness about gender-based violence, women’s health, legal rights, economic empowerment, and challenging traditional gender stereotypes. This research examines the role of CRS in promoting gender equality in Karnataka, exploring how their programming has contributed to societal change. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and focus group discussions, this study analyzes the impact of CRS on women’s empowerment, community participation, and shifts in gender norms. The findings underscore the effectiveness of CRS in bridging information gaps, empowering women, and fostering inclusive social change in Karnataka.
