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].
In Afghanistan, media coverage of women’s issues is often left to foreigners and men. But a new journalism program is giving Afghan women the skills and connections to tell their own stories to the world.
Traditional views toward gender roles that tend to be amplified by the ongoing cultural and political conflict have forced some women journalists to take hiatus not just from reporting, but also residing, in Libya.
In the four-year battle between rival factions to control Libya’s post-revolutionary political landscape, women journalists are highly visible and vulnerable. In part one of a two-part article, we present the voices of Libyan women forced into indefinite exile.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
