“WNN – Women News Network has created an outstanding and entirely different way to see in-depth news on global women. . .”
What makes WNN – Women News Network different? WNN goes deep into the story and doesn’t just scratch the surface. The issues are real, and cover on-the-ground accounts for women that give global leaders, legislators and a larger public something real to talk about. WNN also gives attorneys, teachers, law makers and social researchers more than just two minutes on a topic. Taking a new approach to the news on global women, WNN covers the needs, conditions and empowerment of women by delving into into regions that span outer Mongolia, as well as Uzbekistan, South Korea, Niger, Kenya, Egypt, Bahrain, Italy and Brazil.
