Your support helps us to tell the story
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.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In Brussels, members of the European parliament in February praised the potential educational benefits of thermostatically controlled underwear. Tests have shown the efficiency of a new design in underwear which responds to temperature controls in the classroom, set at levels designed to ensure that pupils are at their most comfortable and therefore more able to learn.
In England, also in February, C&A were forced to withdraw 6,000 pairs of Y-fronts from their stores because a manufacturing error had placed the hole in the wrong place.
In Russia, one clothing factory is paying its workers in brassieres because of a cash crisis. The staff were reported to be much happier than those of another factory who were being paid in rubber sex aids.
