Journalism for women, by women, without apology
The Section

On The Ground

Reporting that happens in the place the story actually is. Field dispatches, interviews in person, court benches, refuges, protests, and the locations the press files from a desk. Slower journalism. Better journalism.

A note on this section

This section is being built. Properly.

WO/ is a new independent publication, and we are publishing one section at a time, carefully sourced and properly checked. The first piece in our Culture section is already live. The pieces below are commissioned and in progress.

If you want to know the moment a on the ground piece goes live, and we will send it directly to you.
