#reproductive-rights

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

There's nothing anti-feminists love more than using their platforms-afforded to them by decades of feminist activism-to tell other women that, actually, feminism is what's holding them back, and not the powers, institutions, or male politicians that be. Every headline I've read this year where someone like Megyn Kelly-or, more recently, Erika Kirk-suggests feminism is the root of society's ills has morphed me into a frantic medieval torture rat, desperately clawing my way into someone's abdomen to escape the heated metal cage placed over my body.
