It’s the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. Discrimination brought over a million women to the streets of Europe a hundred years ago and just weeks ago, women joined their male counterparts in Egypt’s Tahrir Square to fight for freedom. They now seek constitutional protections, equal rights and women in Parliament.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
