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].

EmpowerVan, the brainchild of a group of German feminists, is a new initiative to support female refugees. Claudia Bollwinkel explains how the mobile unit creates a safe space for them.
As Germany works to accommodate the more than 1 million refugees who arrived last year, Berlin politician Barbara Loth is leading the way with innovative programs to expand opportunities for female refugees.
