Reaching for Equity - The Christian Science Monitor

Series: Reaching for Equity

This global series on gender and power was born of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal. But we aim to go beyond sexual harassment to explore a deeper issue: the power imbalance between women and men.

Our correspondents around the world have uncovered efforts to redress that imbalance.

Many, in the United States and beyond, see this moment as a crossroads. They harbor the hope that it may shake loose the mindset that “if you win, I lose.” We hope that you will find the stories in this series both enlightening and inspiring.
