"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."
"In a country that ranks poorly internationally for gender equality, the new president of Japan's long-governing Liberal Democrats, and likely next prime minister, is an ultra-conservative star of a male-dominated party that critics call an obstacle to women's advancement. Sanae Takaichi, 64. admires former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and is a proponent of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's conservative vision for Japan."
"Takaichi is the first female president of Japan's predominantly male ruling party that has dominated Japan's postwar politics almost without interruption. First elected to parliament from her hometown of Nara in 1993, she has served in key party and government posts, including minister of economic security, internal affairs and gender equality. Female lawmakers in the conservative Liberal Democratic Party who were given limited ministerial posts have often been shunned as soon as they spoke up about diversity and gender equality."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and sends reporters to developing stories. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent remains free of paywalls and seeks reader donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. Sanae Takaichi, 64, became president of Japan's long-governing Liberal Democratic Party and is a proponent of Shinzo Abe's conservative vision, while women occupy only about 15% of Japan's lower house and face resistance when raising equality issues.
