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].
The practice of female genital mutilation among the Malay Muslim community is not widely discussed in Singapore, although most girls are cut before the age of one. The AWARE advocacy group is working to end the practice via grassroots activism.
Forced to live with their employers and often subjected to emotional abuse or worse, foreign domestic workers in Singapore can feel trapped. But a nonprofit shelter is working to help these women escape their situations and find new work where they are treated with dignity.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
