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].
Rainy Octura Wente is only the second woman on Sumba Island in eastern Indonesia to file for a divorce, after suffering domestic abuse. Now, she works for the Sumba Foundation, organizing a school lunch program and educating children about domestic violence.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
