BBC World Service has launched BBC Global Women, a new editorial commitment to highlight women’s storytelling and address the global need for trusted news for women and girls. The initiative aims to amplify women’s voices, start conversations, and challenge misinformation through original content delivered year-round across BBC News and World Service platforms.
BBC Global Women will feature exclusive interviews, documentaries, and investigations focused on issues that matter to women. Early commissions include interviews with KPop Demon Hunters’ Arden Cho and the First Lady of Sierra Leone, as well as a BBC investigation into sexual violence used as a weapon in Ethiopia’s Amhara region.
The initiative responds to declining press freedom and the need to reach more women with independent news. Audiences can expect a mix of original documentaries, social investigations, and exclusive interviews from around the world, with the goal of making women’s stories central to the BBC’s global output.
