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].

Continuing our “Choice and Change” series, we go to the Philippines and meet 15-year-old May Sanchez, who is expecting her second child. Despite laws aimed at increasing access to birth control, girls like Sanchez often learn about contraception when it’s too late.
