Our Latest: Global Protests
Our 2020 in Retrospect December theme challenged us to go big, and we’ve delivered. Global Protests is WU’s largest collaborative effort to date, a project spearheaded by our Ideas Division with representatives from 20+ countries around the world to cover stories of advocacy for women’s empowerment in their local contexts.
Explore our interactive map* to learn more about how change-makers on the streets and/or on their phones are speaking up against violence and social injustice. Take your time to dive into these pieces; each pin on the map represents a protest this year that you can learn more about on our blog, youtube channel and spotify podcast series!
