International Women’s Week on Link TV
Beginning on March 1, Link TV will be airing an entire week of special programming devoted to showcasing diverse stories from women around the globe. You’ll see issues and perspectives uncovered and unseen on any other media outlets. Watch as Iranian women activists risk their safety to confront political candidates, as Western women trade their comfortable lives for experiences as Tribal Wives, and as Senegalese rapper Sister Fa joins audiences live on March 4 following the broadcast of her film, Sarabah. And definitely don’t miss the new hit series, Borgen, the only drama series currently on American airwaves that showcases a female head of state.
What to watch?
Women and the Changing Environment
The Earth’s population has reached 7 billion and is growing. More and more people means greater pressure on an already changing environment and it is women who often suffer the most. Earth Focus and Population Action International look at the links between population growth, climate change, and the lives of women in Peru, Nepal, and Ethiopia.
