From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.To mark International Women’s Day 2023 The Independent is bringing together a stella, wide-ranging panel of women to discuss what being a women in 2023 really means.
Sadly it offers a chance to look back on a year when so much wrong has been done to women both here in the UK and across the world. You only have to think of the horrifying murders of women that have taken place here in the UK as well as violence inflicted on them by the likes of former police officer David Carrick to be aware of how much more further we have to go as a society until women achieve any sense of equality to their male counterparts.
However, we will also be talking to our panellists about their accomplishments as women, how some of them have overcome being in male dominated environments and what positive change has taken place over the past 12 months.
We will finally look ahead to what the next 12 months are looking like for women, what is likely to change and what known challenges there are to overcome. Join us for this discussion for free on March 8.
The panel will include:
- Maya Oppenheim (Women’s Correspondent, The Independent)
- Dr Charlotte Proudman (‘The Feminist Barrister’ at Goldsmith Chambers)
- Emily Carver (Head of Media, Institute of Economic Affairs)
- Yvonne John (Author)
- Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu (Political and Women’s Rights Activist)
