Interviews
"Luisa Neubauer is a climate activist and key organizer of Germany's “Fridays for Future” movement, which has showcased the power of youth-led activism and pushed for the European Green Deal."
Human Rights
"Extensive efforts to support Ukrainian refugees are effectively progressive, yet they send a painfully clear message to non-Ukrainian refugees excluded from benefits: that they are less deserving of aid and acceptance."
Middle East & Africa
"Mauritania’s beauty standards—manifesting in the force-feeding of young girls, child marriage, and the abuse of weight gain medications—are centuries-old. However, they are not immune to change."
Arts & Culture
"The future of Afghan women under Taliban rule is uncertain. However, what is certain is that female artists will not yield, whether they speak out within Kabul, in exile, or on social media."
Education
"The migration and integration journey is particularly difficult for refugee women. Until the German immigration system successfully accommodates the unique needs of this demographic, Germany will fall short of Angela Merkel’s vision."
