Global Gender News offers a sampling of timely gender-related news. It is is not meant to be a comprehensive and exhaustive presentation of all significant gender-related reports. The George Washington University’s Global Gender Program seeks simply to draw attention to news and information pertaining to gender issues that relate to GGP’s core research areas: health, education, rights and security (HERS) of women and girls worldwide. We seek to increase visibility and access to gender-related news and encourage further exploration on these topics.
