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.Police had to separate squabbling women handball players during yesterday's Egypt-Uganda match in Harare. The Zimbabwean team were cheering the Ugandans and mocking an Egyptian player, Hanan Eid, who has been at the centre of a gender dispute, when tempers flared. Last week Eid was accused of being a man in disguise and was ordered to undergo a sex test, after which the organisers apologised to Eid and her family.
