The stories of women from diverse communities told through features, investigations and in-depth pieces.

Gaza: Women trying to survive under bombardment

The impact of the Israeli war has been even more severe on the women in Gaza. According to the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR), over 90% of women in Gaza have been forced to leave their homes to be housed in centers with no amenities. As a result, these women have found themselves having to live, work, and survive on the streets, with all the difficulties this entails.

Shelters in Lebanon: Overcrowding and fear of the spread of lice and skin diseases

More than one million people have been displaced in Lebanon, having left their homes to seek safety amid the escalation of military tensions and Israeli threats, especially after the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in the heart of Dahye, the southern suburbs of Beirut. This momentous event spread more terror and anxiety among the population given that it came along with tense Israeli threats to continue bombing more targets.

Families spent the night in the streets and parks... War has begun in Lebanon!

Tens of thousands have been displaced from their homes in the south of the country, the Bekaa, and the southern suburbs of Beirut, areas targeted by bombings and attacks for months.

After being kept on the sidelines of sporting activities for centuries, women made a massive entry into the world of sport. Still now, however, this world continues to heavily discriminate against them: from the hyper-sexualization of their athletic bodies to the negation of these bodies as experiencing menstrual cycles, types of discrimination against female athletes abound.

Italy: The other side of the medal

In Italy, racist incidents against female champions of African origin representing the country in national and international competitions are increasingly frequent. With the Paris Olympics coming up, it is as good a time as any to reassert that racism is a serious threat to women’s right to sport, a right which was hard-earned over the course of a good hundred years.
