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 a country where rape is underreported and rarely prosecuted, lawyers are transforming the way they interview survivors and collect evidence, in the hope of reforming a justice system that often fails those it is supposed to protect.
In Angola, women’s rights activists are fighting against proposed changes to the country’s laws that will remove exceptions that allow for abortions in certain cases and prescribe sentences of up to 10 years for offenders.

Women’s equality depends on access to computers, the internet and mobile phones. But we’ll only beat discrimination in the digital realm if we tackle gender discrimination offline.
