Description

We step back from Cheeto-induced chaos in the U.S. and take a global view. Protests at the World Cup in Russia. The politics of globalization and migration on and off the pitch. In China, the government is cracking down on women organizing online. In Nepal, menstrual stigma risks the lives of women and girls. In slightly better news, women in Egypt are working to end gender-based violence, starting with the men who drive cabs and tuk-tuks.Reading ListRussia: Hidden Flag / Pussy Riot World Cup protestsChina: Women factory workers’ networking group shut downNepal: Menstruation taboo leading to deaths / ZanaAfricaEgypt: Iman El-Mahdi of CARE Egypt / Circles of Change program
