At The Fuller Project, we take the long view, following ongoing patterns and major trends. Last year, we tracked the ways that women are changing the face of politics around the world, the continuing surge in domestic violence, the increasing impact of climate change on every aspect of our lives, and how, even through a post-pandemic labor participation recovery, women workers are disproportionately suffering the drawbacks of the rapidly evolving global economy. The stories we reported exposed these underlying currents and moved the needle on gender equality around the world.

Groundbreaking reporting that catalyzes positive change for women.
About us
Since we launched in 2015, our reporting has influenced new legislation, helped end life-threatening practices, and led to large scale releases of public data. For example, our investigations have led to increased funding for maternal health care, helped rescue migrant domestic workers held against their will, prompted a major fashion brand to end abuse at their garment factory, introduced legislation to ban virginity testing, and fueled policy changes on the minimum wage for tipped workers. We report exclusive stories centered on women that otherwise would not be told. Our long-standing focus on women, especially those facing racial or other forms of bias, leads to journalism that by challenging conventional thinking inspires action. Our journalists spotlight critical issues and expose injustice with in-depth reporting published in renowned news outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post and Foreign Policy, and inside the largest and most respected newsrooms around the world from Afghanistan to India to Kenya. Partnering with legacy news outlets ensures our rigorous reporting reaches the broadest global audiences. Our reporting is relied on by policymakers, corporate leaders, influencers and individuals across the globe, leading to better outcomes for women and their communities. As women’s standing in society improves, so does the potential for stronger democracies, and economic and political stability. A single authoritative story about women can create awareness to spark change.

As Israeli bombs rain down on Beirut, many migrant workers have been left to fend for themselves. Nannies, housekeepers and other domestic workers from Asia and Africa say they have been abandoned by their employers, turned away from shelters housing Lebanese citizens and forced to sleep in the streets. Their employers hold their passports, so they can’t leave, and embassies have been slow to respond. “The amount of discrimination we're facing, it's unbelievable. Nowhere is safe, especially for the women,” said Lina, from Kenya, who asked to be identified only by her first name.

November’s election will make or break efforts to refocus medical research to make it not only fairer to women, but more accurate for everyone. “It’s either going to enter its heyday or it’s going to be gutted like every other federal agency,” says Emily Jacobs, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

As the 2024 election nears, the future of women’s health research is at a crossroads. Will federal funding support studies on menopause and heart disease, or be redirected to debunked theories linking abortion to depression? With long-term implications on the line, this election is critical for women's medical research. Read more in this week’s newsletter from Maggie F.: https://bit.ly/4hgG7jW
