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.

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.

The mission hasn’t changed: Remaining focused when all the world seems to be on fire

2 weeks ago | fullerproject.org | Eliza Anyangwe

I’m sure you feel it too: the gnawing sense of overwhelm? 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

2 weeks ago | fullerproject.org | Erica Hensley

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.
Women and Power: New rankings show stark geographical divide within the U.S.

2 weeks ago | fullerproject.org | Jodi Enda

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.
Arab States Need More Nurses. African Women Are Paying The Price.

2 weeks ago | fullerproject.org | Louise Donovan

African women who leave home to work as nannies or housekeepers in the Persian Gulf know they’re risking their lives. The influx of reports detailing unpaid wages, sexual assault and – at times – death are impossible to ignore. Nurses, however, garner less attention. As countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates expand their healthcare sectors, the demand for migrant care workers is rising. This sounds like good news – employment opportunities are often few and far back home.
Women’s groups in the DRC are trying - once more - to get armed forces to sit down for peace talks

The Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa’s third largest country that sits at the center of the continent, has had a long and complex history of conflict. Though the recent capture of Goma and Bukavu, the largest cities in eastern DRC, by the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, has brought this decades-long conflict back into media attention, violence has been escalating since 2021.
AI is transforming the fight against trafficking. Some advocates are raising the alarm

When Santander’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology flagged unusual activity on a customer’s account last year, the bank’s staff had no idea it would lead to a human trafficking network being uncovered. On their own, the transactions didn’t look like much. A 34-year-old man was making regular payments to budget airlines, mobile phone providers and Vivastreet and Gumtree, websites that can be used to advertise genuine adult services but also sell everything from cars to computers.
Mississippi’s C-section problem: A third of low-risk women are undergoing surgery for their first birth

Three hospitals with some of the lowest use of low-risk C-sections in Mississippi vary in almost every way — location, size and type of providers who deliver babies. Wayne General is a small, rural hometown hospital in eastern Mississippi. Baptist DeSoto is a large regional hospital just outside of Memphis. And Singing River is a mid-size hospital network in the southern coastal part of the state that boasts low rates at all three of its delivery locations.
