100 Women (BBC)

100 Women is a BBC series established in 2013. The series examines the role of women in the twenty-first century and has included events in London^[1] and Mexico.^[2] The 2016 theme was "Defiance".^[3]

History

After the 2012 Delhi gang rape, BBC editor Fiona Crack and other journalists were inspired to create a series focusing on the issues and achievements of women in society today.^[4] The BBC launched this series in October 2013 and programming ran over the course of the month, culminating in a conference held on 25 October.

The series covered many topics, including education, healthcare, equal pay, genital mutilation, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.^[5] In particular, BBC wanted its audience to reflect on these questions:

• How are women faring in the twenty-first century economy where you live?
• Will women take on a bigger role in politics and business? Or is there a "global glass ceiling"?
• Are the demands of motherhood and family life destined to hold back the tide of progress?
• Speaking of progress, what about feminism? Does it still have a role?
• Does religion empower women, or keep their rights in check?
• What do you see as the biggest risks women face? What about the biggest opportunities?
• And - of course - what about the media? How are we doing? Do we misrepresent women? Do we tell their stories properly?
