The BBC has announced the return of its award-winning annual 100 Women season this autumn, based around a list of 100 inspirational global women and their extraordinary lives, achievements and experiences. Launched in 2013, 100 Women seeks to better represent women in the BBC’s international news output.
The season kicks off on Monday 21 November starting three weeks of thought-provoking broadcast and online special reports, debates, programmes and journalism, running online at bbc.com/100Women, on BBC World News TV, and on the 29 global languages services of BBC World Service Group, as well as network news.
The 100 Women list
Each year, the BBC reveals its 100 Women list, a mix of influential women who are world leaders in politics, science and entertainment, as well as less well-known but inspirational women from all over the world. Profiles of the 100 Women will be published, alongside five high profile interviewees. In the past interviewees have included actor Hilary Swank, model Alek Wek, professional tennis player Sania Mirza, and International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
Digital highlights throughout the season
This year’s digital highlights on bbc.com/100women will include an interactive global special on street harassment. The series of videos will run discussions and solutions around the harassment issues that women experience around the world, including a woman in Beirut who has created an app allowing women to inform others of hot spots to avoid, and the creator of smart safety jewellery helping to reduce assaults on women. The wearable technology will trigger an alarm if the wearer is threatened and sends text messages to loved ones with the wearer’s location.
