Fuller Project for International Reporting

The Fuller Project is an international collective of recognized journalists dedicated to covering the issues that significantly affect women both in the United States and worldwide. Our investigative work sheds light on injustices, provides fresh insights into various topics, and highlights potential solutions. We prioritize facts and maintain a nonpartisan stance, aiming to accurately portray the realities of women's lives and experiences. Our team of journalists relies on their firsthand reporting and evidence related to women's issues. We recognize that women continue to encounter substantial systemic obstacles in their countries, workplaces, and often at home, despite their crucial roles in society. Currently, women represent only 25% of the individuals featured in news coverage. We strive to uncover their stories, offering millions of readers The Fuller Story. Our work is published across numerous prominent media platforms, with the goal of expanding the dialogue surrounding women's issues. By collaborating with various publishing partners, we also strengthen local newsrooms and emphasize journalism's essential role in fostering an inclusive and robust democracy.

While tariffs are making headlines, Trump 2.0 is also upending the results of decades of international collaboration at the United Nations. The U.S. stood firm against to get those attending the U.N.’s annual meeting on gender equality in March to commit to protecting women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. It has also rejected the Sustainable Development Goals, a framework for international development that was unanimously adopted by all 193 U.N. member states 10 years ago.

GOLINI, KENYA – Saumu Mwavugadi gazed from her veranda past mud-walled chicken coops and umbrella-like acacia trees to a vast horizon of hills. The heat was unrelenting on this March day, and Mwavugadi cradled her two-week-old daughter in her arms. She was wracked with despair. “How will I get my baby vaccinated?” Mwavugadi worried aloud. “Postnatal clinics feel like an impossible dream,” she said in Swahili.

ADRÉ, Chad—When the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) entered El Geneina, the capital of the Sudanese state of West Darfur, Sadia Adams’s* two brothers knew they had to hide. RSF fighters were systematically exterminating men from the Masalit ethnic group, and their best chance of survival was to disappear and reemerge once fighters from the rogue paramilitary force had departed.

Of life coming at you too fast; the unrelenting onslaught of bad news; the transformation of your family Whatsapp group into a non-stop stream of understandable panic, outrage or even despair? In many of our communities the crises have been unfolding for some time, but everywhere it seems that the decisions being made by the current US Administration are compounding, exacerbating or causing fresh harm.
‘It’s which door she walks through’: How provider preference and hospital culture drive C-section rates

Though they can be life-saving, growing research suggests that cesarian sections, or C-sections, are vastly overused in the United States, especially among first-time moms who are low-risk. At best, this can strip autonomy from new parents. At worst, it can cause irreversible infertility and complications that can result in death. C-sections are major abdominal surgeries with immediate and long-term risks, including infection, hemorrhage and future placenta problems.

If you’re a woman in America, Washington, D.C., is, apparently, the place to be. Women in the nation’s capital have more power and influence than their sisters in any of the 50 states. They have more political and economic heft, better health outcomes and a greater say in policies that affect their lives. Women in Alabama and much of the South, meanwhile, have little power or influence, and that is reflected in their everyday existence.
