    to win gold in two different
    events (alpine skiing and giant
    slalom snowboarding) during
    one Winter Games.

                                                  law has broadened the definition of
                                                  violence to recognise – and criminalise
                                                  – physical, psychological, sexual and

                                       SEXISM IN THE CITY
                   The UK is a major global economic hub and
                    one that’s notoriously difficult to crack as an
               entrepreneur. Debbie Wosskow and Anna Jones
          have founded The AllBright (inspired by Madeleine
                    Albright), the UK’s first women-only private
             members’ club in London, with a view to tackling
         the still-rampant sexism in the city’s business sphere.
                 This platform will help professionals to invest,
             connect and collaborate, turning the spotlight on
           Britain’s unequal and unfair working environment.

                                           Women take the north
  In a country that has been devastated by war, there seems little left to fight for. But this hasn’t stopped Arabic and Kurdish
  women from joining Yekîneyên Parastina Jin (Women Protection Units). These battalions of women are helping the Syrian
Democratic Forces prevent ISIL from gaining ground in the northern Syrian region of Rojava. Their dedication to their country’s
                         freedom is helping change attitudes about the power women wield in society.
