Saving the World's Women?

Recently the New York Times Magazine dedicated it’s self to ‘Saving the World’s Women. The issue includes a number of articles, including a feature by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof. Though the spirit of bringing increased attention to women’s issue is spot on, there are a number of problems with the presentation and stories in the issue. Writers and activists have responded on the RH Reality Check news website – including myself and my colleague Alan Whiteside.
