openDemocracy has joined the UN Women’s Media Compact, an invite-only alliance of media organisations across the world that are committed to actively advancing women’s rights and gender equality.

Other media partners include Deutsche Welle, France24, Glamour, the Huffington Post, Marie Claire, Politico, and numerous regional outlets across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

"We are thrilled to join this partnership,” said Claire Provost, openDemocracy’s Head of Global Investigations and founder of the Tracking the Backlash project, which investigates organised opposition to women’s and LGBTIQ rights globally.
