Domin Familia features a forbidden love story between Lena Amaral, the youngest of her family and Julio, the son of a cock-fighter- Lena's big brother Octavio is against the young couple. Local theatre group Bibi Bulak has developed all scripts as well as performing the characters.

"This initiative is one of the activities where the Ministry of Health emphasizes the importance of creating culturally-sensitive and rights-based materials addressed to the people of Timor-Leste," said the Minister of Health Dr. Nelson Martins.

The objective of the 24-episode radio soap opera is to address reproductive health issues in an entertaining way, ensuring that the audience has access to relevant information intended to increase awareness. This radio soap opera was a collaborative effort between the Ministry, UNFPA, HAI, Alola Foundation and Marie-Stopes International.

Domin Familia is broadcast every Saturday on RTL at 5 p.m. with a repeat show on Sunday at 10 a.m.
