Women in the News
Women’s lives, bodies, and choices remain at the heart of today’s biggest debates — from technology to politics. Algorithms that guess pregnancies, menstruation apps that can criminalize abortion, and institutions that still misunderstand women’s needs reveal how control over women’s privacy and health is constantly challenged. At the same time, reports of global inequality, leadership changes at cultural powerhouses like Vogue, and efforts to tackle gender-based violence show both progress and how far we still have to go. These stories remind us that women are still fighting to be seen, heard, and respected — and that their autonomy is not negotiable.
