Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Whether it’s the underrepresentation of female nominees in the 2020 awards season or a recent poll that found one in five women reported being paid less than male colleagues in similar jobs, it’s clear that more than ever women and men must keep the momentum going when it comes to fighting for gender equality.
On Sunday 8 March, people around the world will celebrate International Women’s Day – 24 hours dedicated to championing women’s achievements and challenging gender bias.
In the UK, people will attend a range of events championing womanhood ranging from gigs, panel discussion and exhibitions to feminist walks and yoga classes. Italy will honour the day by encouraging people to give out yellow Mimosa blossom flowers, while many companies in China offer women employees a half-day so they can enjoy the day celebrating.
And what better way to herald women’s successes than to look to female entrepreneurs, record-breakers, and feminist pioneers paving the way for their gender in their respective fields?
