AI is learning to care. Or at least, to sound like it does. Millions now turn to chatbots for comfort, company, or love. But behind the friendly voice lies a familiar pattern. AI is replicating society’s oldest expectations of women: to care, comfort, to be endlessly available.

Mis-and disinformation remain among the most complex challenges of our time.

If the new season of The Morning Show proves anything, it’s that journalism can talk feminism without always practising it. But as our editor-in-chief Eliza Anyangwe writes in this week’s newsletter, language gives shape to what we feel, and to the kind of world we want to build.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “reverse treasure hunting”? That’s how art curator Samba Yonga describes her work at the Women’s History Museum of Zambia.

Voting rights in the US are under attack again. The SAVE Act could block millions of women from registering and voting. But women have been here before.

Last night, we co-hosted an #UNGA event with @fullerproject.org on the role of the media in challenging disinformation around sexual and reproductive health and rights. Huge thanks to those who participated, including @nickkristof.bsky.social @ihartericka.bsky.social @khosla.bsky.social #ChoiceWeek

“Women’s rights are human rights.” It sounds obvious now, but three decades ago the world had to be convinced. At the 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, feminist activist and organizer Charlotte Bunch helped lead a campaign that changed history.

Bisexual women face some of the highest rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm among women — yet healthcare systems often fail to meet their needs. From structural bias that erases bisexuality to higher rates of violence and exclusion, the health risks are clear, but rarely addressed.

We're proud to be co-hosting an event at #UNGA this week with @fullerproject.org 🙌 Our speakers will explore the impact of disinformation on sexual and reproductive rights, and the role journalists can play in fighting back. @nickkristof.bsky.social @ihartericka.bsky.social @khosla.bsky.social

“I didn’t know who to trust.” Amelia*, 33, spent more than a decade switching contraceptive pills to cope with heavy bleeding and side effects like migraines and mood swings. But the more she searched for answers online, the more confusing it became.

Today the UN marks a major milestone in the global women’s movement: the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women. After Mexico City in 1975, Copenhagen in 1980 and Nairobi in 1985, some 20,000 people, representing 189 countries, gathered in Beijing, China from 4–15 September 1995.

The gender pay gap is often described as women earning less than men for the same work. But that’s only part of the story. Behind the gap are systemic forces: the motherhood penalty, the undervaluing of care work, barriers to promotion, and the compounded impact of race and class.

It’s easy to spot a good talker, but what makes a good listener? The life lesson that has most shaped documentary filmmaker Maia Lekow — whose debut film The Letter was Kenya’s official entry for the 93rd Academy Awards in 2021 — is the simple act of listening.

Yesterday, a UN inquiry concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The writing has been on the wall for a long time and yet, the air strikes and blockade continued as the world watched on.

As @fullerproject.org reports, the gendered problems of the Seasonal Worker Scheme aren't just about individual cases of exploitation or abuse. The government doesn't even publish data on how many women are on the scheme. So how can we know how far the problem goes? www.youtube.com/shorts/87-uZ...

In her past jobs as foreign minister in her native country or as the 73rd president of the United Nations General Assembly, Ecuadorian diplomat Maria Fernanda Espinosa probably saw it all. What she hasn’t seen? Enough women at the top of global financial institutions. youtube.com/shorts/lUfSo...

Need a way to tell if you’re living in a just society? Take a look at who’s doing most of the work and what they get in return for it. What she noticed when she looked closely at work so irritated academic and writer, Cordelia Fine, that she decided to write a book about it called Patriarchy Inc.
