The desk explores the rich legacy that women have played in our region, featuring stories about the women who have served as pioneers in helping to advance human rights, fight for equality, and improve standards of living. These reports range from long-form features and interviews to spot news that will help better understand how women are making their mark on the regional landscape on a daily basis.
