Dear Deeply Readers,

Welcome to the archives of News Deeply’s Women & Girls Hub. While we paused regular publication of the site on January 22, 2018, and transitioned our coverage to Women’s Advancement Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Arctic. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.

We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

Politics and Policy

Exploring the challenges of achieving equal political representation and the impact of laws that specifically affect women.

The percentage of women in political power has nearly doubled globally over the past 20 years. But equal representation is still an issue in most of the world, with women making up only 22 percent of all parliamentarians. We speak to women in government who are fighting for change from the inside, and follow the work of policymakers as they pass and repeal laws that specifically affect women, from bans on contraception to improvements in reporting rape.
