Foro de la Mujer (transl. 'Women's Forum') was a radio program broadcast on Radio UNAM, the radio station of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Created in 1972 by Guatemalan academic Alaíde Foppa, it discussed global women's and human rights issues, often reporting on political violence and repression. After Foppa's disappearance in 1980, it was hosted by Mexican journalist Elena Urrutia until 1986. It has been preserved as part of UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme since 2008, and digitized recordings of it were used for a biographical radio series covering Foppa's life.
