The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) publicly on Monday released a report that says the federal response to the missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) crisis needs improvement. U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, called on the Biden administration to do more to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) after the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report finding that the government has not done enough to respond to the crisis. Sen. Cortez Masto has led efforts in the Senate to protect Indigenous women and girls, and she […]

Reminder: Indian peasants and agricultural workers remain in the midst of a country-wide agitation sparked by the proposal of three farm bills that were then signed into law by the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party government in September 2020. In June 2021, our dossier summarised the situation plainly: It is clear that the problem in Indian agriculture is not too much institutional support, but inadequate and uneven deployment of institutions as well as the unwillingness of these institutions to address the inherent inequalities of village society. There is no evidence that agribusiness firms will develop infrastructure, enhance agricultural markets, or provide technical support to […]

I had never before fallen head over heels for a basic piece of clothing — until I was introduced to the Uniqlo U Crew Neck Short-Sleeve T-Shirt. I remember the first time I laid eyes on this tee. I was in my local Uniqlo, not planning on buying anything, when I spotted a rainbow of fabric across the store. I was immediately drawn to the display and was surprised to find out that it was their T-shirt section. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a wide-ranged color selection for T-shirts, let alone one that isn’t based solely on trendy colors […]
Red lips, scintillating saris, hair tied up with flowers and chiming bangles, or skimpy dresses paired with heels; sought after at night but ostracized by day. This is the imagery the term sex worker arouses in India. Though legal, sex workers are an outcast community beyond the purvey of government welfare schemes. In a breakthrough decision, sex workers in India have now been listed by the National Human Rights Commission Commission’s (NHRC) advisory on COVID-19 under the “Women at Work” section, recognising them as “informal workers”, and thereby enabling access to government welfare schemes. The advisory came as the pandemic has […]
Recent incidents of alleged rape cases and uproar over police proceedings have brought India’s largest state Uttar Pradesh into the spotlight. The United Nations (UN) office in India has expressed concern over continuing cases of sexual violence against girls and women in Uttar Pradesh and underlined the need for speedy justice for the victims. Head of India’s Uttar Pradesh state Yogi Adityanth on Saturday offered a dedicated helping hand to address crime against women with two new programmes — “Mission Shakti” and “Operation Shakti”. Monk-turned-politician Adityanth paid homage to the alleged gang-rape victim of Hathras village by launching the campaign, which […]
The Swedish Armed Forces have in recent years been betting on diversity, inclusivity, and equality, embracing mottos like “Our strength consists of differences”, “Come as you are”, and “We don’t always march straight”. Increasing the share of women is seen as another important milestone in “breaking up the male monopoly”. Despite numerous initiatives including costly ads and awareness-raising campaigns, the Swedish Armed Forces have failed to meet this year’s goal of having at least 20 percent of its conscripts be women. While some units in the Air Force and the Navy have effectively met the target, the Armed Forces in general […]

US President Donald Trump made a direct pitch to female suburban voters, urging them to “please like me” while boasting that his “law and order” policies rescued their communities, hoping to boost support from a key voting bloc. “They talk about the suburban women. And somebody said, ‘I don’t know if the suburban woman likes you.’” Trump told a crowd at a campaign rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, adding that while they might not like the way he speaks, “they should like me more than anybody here tonight because I ended the regulation that destroyed your neighborhood.” So can […]
Ahead of the election, Megan Thee Stallion knows that once again Black women are being asked to save the country—despite still being “constantly disrespected and disregarded in so many areas of life.” She’s had enough. In a passionate op-ed and accompanying video for the New York Times, the rapper detailed several ways our society mistreats Black women. She meditated on how those double standards and abuses have affected how she’s perceived as an artist, and how people responded to her shooting by Tory Lanez this summer. “My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends,” […]
Life is hard for everyone during a pandemic. But in a global crisis, it is women who carry extra burdens, says Raquel Lagunas, director of the gender team at the United Nations Development Programme. “Because of their reproductive role in society, they are ones taking care of the kids, the house, the food, the survival of families.” Over the span of three weeks in September and October, NPR photographed and interviewed 19 women around the world. They shared their challenges and fears — and how they are overcoming them. What we found is that despite the new stresses, women are drawing […]
Women’s rights group Differenza Donna said two “fields of angels” graveyards at Rome’ Prima Porta cemetery contained burials of unborn children going back to 2012, bearing the mothers’ names but without their consent. More than 100 Italian women have urged prosecutors in Rome investigate after they found their names on graves of aborted foetuses. The women, represented by activist group Differenza Donna, say they did not consent to the burials of their aborted pregnancies, which only came to light last week. One of the women, identified only by he first name Francesca, made the discovery when she visited a so-called “field of angels” […]
There’s something about a crewneck pullover sweatshirt that speaks to me. It’s the perfect medium between athleticwear and every day. I pair mine with jeans, but they really go with anything.

If you’re looking to break your habit of wearing sweaters as your fall staple, might I suggest the humble pullover sweatshirt?

Anyone who’s kept up with Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills over the past three years knows cast member Teddi Mellencamp’s proclivity for holding others accountable. Not just in the “you didn’t come to my event!” or “are you friends with Brandi Glanville?” way but in regard to her actual occupation as an “accountability coach.” The mysterious title refers to Mellencamp’s accountability coaching program called All In by Teddi, a weight-loss system that’s faced scrutiny over the past week for its alleged harmful messaging, minimal diet, expensive fees, inexperienced staff, and hostile manner of holding clients “accountable” for their commitment to […]
The former captain of Russia’s synchronized swimming team, Angelika Timanina, has revealed her ordeal during a ‘difficult period’ in which she ‘didn’t eat, cry or sleep’ for months, lashing out at immoral women and ‘spoiled men’. Blonde bombshell Timanina had been included in Russia’s national surfing squad for the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo before they were postponed earlier this year, and the abrupt change to her sporting plans appears to have preceded a time of deep turmoil for the swimming gold medalist at the 2012 edition of the games.

In recent years, traditional all-male clubs stemming from the gentlemen’s clubs of the Enlightenment era have come under severe pressure in several Nordic countries, including Finland, for their perceived lack of equality. While today most people think of ‘gentleman’s clubs’ as seedy adults-only venues featuring strippers, the term originally applied to fraternal establishments for the upper class. The Norwegian Society, one of the few remaining old-fashioned men’s clubs in the country, has come under severe pressure to “join the 21st century” by admitting women. Founded by Norwegian students in Copenhagen in 1772 and moved to Oslo in the early 1800s, the […]

One hundred years to the day after women first won the right to vote in America, and the country is in a weird, dark place. There’s a kind of brutal symmetry between 1920, when the mass exodus of women from the home and into the workforce supercharged the movement, and 2020, as the pandemic forces working women back into the home. It’s all so retro. Even Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman on a major party’s presidential ticket, has to weather viciously misogynistic attacks while also pandering to 19th century notions of womanhood. Harris—who was 49 years old […]
Apart from worsening an already dire economic situation in Gaza, the outbreak of the pandemic has also led to a spike in domestic violence cases.

Cities across the world have erupted in protest against police violence and anti-Black racism, but who are they marching for? In the wake of the killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, global communities have participated in themed protests to honor their lives. From #IRunWithMaud to celebrity-led comedy specials, there’s no shortage of coverage of their deaths. But since these protests picked up steam, I’ve noticed a quieter trend on my timelines: sprinkles of posts reminding authorities to arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor, like accent colors in a monochromatic room.

It happened in Atlanta. In San Francisco. In D.C. and in Charlotte. Over and over again in recent weeks, black female mayors have stepped onto the national stage—and been forced to publicly face their contradictory roles. Not only are these women in positions of power and obligated to uphold the law, but they also find themselves promoting racial justice in a movement that does not always fight for black women. “I’m in charge of this city,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed told The Daily Beast, but “I’m still a black woman who is sadly still being treated in a disrespectful way, […]

But with this film, streaming on Netflix now, the subject is the complex and differing experiences of four black Vietnam War vets—the eponymous Bloods—who return to the country to uncover a lost treasure as well as the remains of their fallen commander (Chadwick Boseman, in flashbacks). It’s a weighty project, nimbly navigated by actors Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Isiah Whitlock, and Norm Lewis—titan character actors who evaded star status mostly because of the […]

Monica Weeks knew she was taking a risk when she ran for vice president of the National Organization for Women. She was young—29 years old—and campaigning on the first all-women-of-color ticket in the organization’s 50-year history. Her friends thought the group was old-fashioned, and her mother, an immigrant from Cuba, was anxious about her taking on such a high-profile role. But recent family events, coupled with the devastating results of the 2016 election, had convinced her that now was the time to step up. That’s how Weeks found herself in front of a sea of older white women at the Colors […]

In a new lawsuit filed Thursday, four more women have come forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse. The accusers’ stories span the years from 1984 to 2013, and all appear to follow a familiar pattern: They met with Weinstein hoping to discuss professional opportunities before Weinstein allegedly trapped and abused them. Weinstein was convicted in February of first-degree criminal sex act for the 2006 assault of Miriam Haleyi, as well as third-degree rape for the assault of former actress Jessica Mann. Before his conviction, Weinstein had denied all allegations of non-consensual sex. A representative for Weinstein did not respond to […]
