Women’s eNews is my main source of substantive news covering issues of particular concern to women and providing women’s perspectives on public policy. I can't find this news any other place. Women's eNews enhances my abilility to think and act globally as well as spur ideas locally. It is the most forwarded piece of email I receive each day and I really appreciate it as do all of my women friends when i send them a link or information I think they might find of interest to them.
Thank you!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my everyday life and those of my friends and family. These articles help me conect what I am hearing out there in the public media with how it affects my and all women worldwide. I have been challenged to make a difference and often contribute to campaigns I would not have otherwise known about.

keep up the good work! I like it just the way it is. By limiting the information to one email page daily, I do not feel overwhelmed and I can always save the information if I want to act later.

I just read Jurate Kazickas article about Eve Ensler's "City of Joy" in the Congo. That story came to life right on my screen, no video needed, just Eve's energy and the writer's heart. No mainstream media reported on this story or if they did, no way could they portray the story as this writer for Womens Enews did. So if you have empathy for Congolese women raped because they're bystanders in a resource war -- by the way, a resource war that allows us from the West to indulge in our personal electronics -- than you really only have one choice: Womens Enews for comprehensive and unbiased coverage. It makes me numb to think the mainstream media may decide to bury the story because their sold-out to SONY advertising dollars. Womens Enews, on the other hand, inspires me!

For news about the Congo and Congolese women and other controversial issues the mainstream media is too afraid to cover or sold-out to cover, you have an outlet a nonprofit that doesn't bend to outside pressure...Womens Enews.

I read Women's eNews EVERY DAY. As a health care practitioner I consider Women's eNews an essential part of my practice in that the information about women and women's health is hard to get consistently anywhere else- I pass on the site to all my clients, especially the women. I also appreciate the broad scope of the reporting.

I was turned on to Women's eNews after reading Half the Sky by Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. They reccomended Women's eNews as a credible source of information for those who wanted to stay up on issues impacting women around the world. I look forward to getting Women's eNews daily email!

I have been reading Women's E-news for a long time, and look forward to it everyday. The information is timely, accurate and speaks to issues that the other sources ignore. When the news says women and children first, they mean, who can we leave out? When Women's E-news says women and children first, it means what can we do to enhance the life of every woman and every child? I use Women's enews in my classes that I teach at Rutgers University. For example, in my Women, Culture & Society undergraduate class, many of the articles that have to do with how women are viewed in the US and the world fit right into my curriculum. When we study Women, war and Terrorism, one of the units, the articles that show are women are treated in other countries such as the women on Women's Shleter in Afghanastan or the one in January about the UN Superagency for women, all are excellent teaching tools. I also use the women's enews in my gradate social work class on Violence and Abuse in Childhood and encourage my students to subscribe to the daily enews.
Perhaps what is most important to me is that this organization not only speaks to my teaching and my brain, it speaks to my heart.

I look forward to Womens eNews in my inbox every day. Women's eNews fills a critical gap of traditional journalism. They write stories of the triumphs and challenges that women face worldwide. Their reporting inspires me to continue to work for causes that support women and girls. I am involved in a non-profit that supports women in East Africa through micro lending. Women's enews has confirmed my belief that women should be supported worldwide to make positive changes in their families, communities and countries.
Their stories highlight areas where we as global citizens can improve and where women have triumphed over great adversity. It inspires me.

Women's Enews is a vital news outlet that I trust to give unbiased, thorough news about what women are doing, what women are dealing with, and laws and research that affects us in both positive and negative ways. The mainstream news is too often redundant and does not investigate, or even report on, topics important to women. We women are too often ignored but for stereotypical projections that are much too commonly found in mainstream news. Women's Enews offers an alternative. I often forward their reports to younger women I know, or mothers with young children. And I am usually sent a big 'thank you' email in return. I hope you support them with as much financial help as possible.

Becoming more aware of images of women in mainstream media, more conscious of choices I make in projecting myself as a women, using the news they provide to educate younger women and inspire stronger self-image and confidence in themselves,

Try and give them a stronger voice so they can have an impact on mainstream media and reduce the need for a separate women's news organization! it would be great if mainstream media were more balanced in their reports and organizations like Women's Enews are one step in that direction.

Although I do not read the Women's e News every day, nor do I read the news in general, when I do so I prefer to read the stories that are less likely to make the news in the mainstream press.
Also, women are interesting to me as people. I retired from my private practice counseling women in Maryland some years ago but the issues facing us are still the same.
Reading recently about the Indian night soil sweepers who carried the waste in baskets on their heads in India was a story I would have encountered only in novels if I did not have Women's eNews.

Women's eNews covers the stories about women that are buried in the back pages of the "mainstream" media or not covered at all. Their national and international coverage helps me keep up with current events even though I rarely have time to sit down and read a conventional newspaper or magazine. In addition, they organize and partner in events that bring women's stories to the fore. Their work is invaluable.

Women's eNews has helped advise me how to raise the profile of women 9-11 first responders on the upcoming 10th anniversary. They have also included me in their women's history walking tour.
