By: Isis Madrid | April 10, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

Ria Sharma wasn’t always an activist. Just a few years back she was a fashion student at Leeds College of Art. But she felt uninspired by the work, and decided to branch into film. Her first project: A documentary about acid attack survivors.

Boko Haram

The ordeal isn’t over yet for women who’ve been freed from Boko Haram

By: David Leveille | April 9, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

The Nigerian military has been touting its recent successes against Boko Haram. Officials say many of the thousands of women and girls who’d been held hostage by the Islamist militant group have been freed.

India

These Indian women said they could protect their local forests better than the men in their village. The men agreed.

By: Sam Eaton (PRI's The World correspondent) | April 3, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

Even the monsoon rains don’t keep the women of Ghunduribadi, a tiny tribal village in India’s eastern state of Odisha, from patrolling the nearby forest at dawn.

India’s condom showrooms: Where women can talk freely about sex and health

By: Chryselle D’Silva Dias | March 26, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

The Moods Planet condom store is set on one of Panaji’s busiest streets. Buffered by a motorcycle repair shop on one side and a jeweler on the other, this brightly lit store with its distinctive logo — the shapely ‘o’s of Moods intertwined — seems incongruous.

Culture

A feminist music festival in Chile wants to challenge Latin America’s sexy, submissive ideal of women

By: Maria Murriel | March 20, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

At this year’s Viña del Mar festival, in Chile last month, the festival queen took a dive into a pool, covered only in rose petals, surrounded by fans and photographers.

Soccer

Female game-changers in a field bent out of shape

By: Caitlin Davis Fisher | March 19, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

The world’s soccer body just held its presidential elections, but it’s a distant pipe dream that a new president will do much to fix what has bent the “beautiful game” so badly out of shape.

Idealized? Sexy? She draws women who don’t care what you think.

By: Afi Yellow-Duke | March 13, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

It’s common for women depicted in cartoons and comics to have idealized, exaggerated features: Think of the impossibly small waists, extra-long legs, and ample chests in comic books — a medium still overwhelmingly drawn by men.

Politics

‘2 alpha women’: Nancy Reagan’s icy time with Raisa Gorbachev

By: Nina Porzucki | March 12, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

Former first lady Nancy Reagan died over the weekend at the age of 94. Of course anyone who grew up stateside during the Reagan administration will never forget her anti-drug campaign with its catchy slogan, “Just Say No!”

Why I finally ‘came out’ as Dalit — and what happened next

By: PRI's The World (PRI's The World) | February 4, 2016
From our partner PRI's The World

When I moved to New York in the fall of 2014, I left a few things in India: my family, my job with a leading English-language newspaper and my caste.

Kenya

How Maasai women in Kenya are helping to make your cosmetics

By: PRI's The World (PRI's The World) | December 29, 2015
From our partner PRI's The World

It’s a day-long drive from Kenya’s capital Nairobi to Twala in Laikipia County. The last 50 miles is along a dusty road, and then you arrive at the farm of the Twala Cultural Manyatta. It’s oasis-like, and the moment you enter the gate, the fresh smell of greenery strikes a contrast with the aridity you leave behind.
