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 the wake of the floods that hit Mumbai last week, women in the city’s slums are working to restore their homes and care for family members without access to basic sanitation or clean drinking water.
In Assam, northeast India, annual flooding can be disastrous for women and girls. Women lose access to adequate sanitation and maternal healthcare, while girls are forced into child labor or marriage to make ends meet.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
