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.If there was any doubt that men continue to hold a disproportionate grip on influence in public life, then these pictures will dispell it.
Using images of the House of Commons in London, a gathering of heads of state, the contestants on University Challenge or a UN convention, a campaign has Photoshopped all the men out of sight to highlight the sparse numbers of women with power.
Men have been photoshopped out of prominent parts of pubilc life as part of a campaign by Elle Magazine, called #MoreWomen.
"The story of how women in positions of strength continually support and empower each other is consistently ignored while the myth that we pit ourselves against each other perpetuates.
"We want to change this narrative in our Feminism issue and create a more positive conversation – to reflect the power of women, and to support and grow each other as we push for global equality.
"They are asking powerful groups of women to post their pictures on social media, along with the pledge: "One woman's success makes EVERY WOMAN STRONGER. More women for #morewomen #ELLEFeminism."
