IRP

From 1998-2018, the International Reporting Project supported journalists with fellowships to report on under-covered topics and regions around the world.

Today IRP officially closes its doors. Thanks to our alumni for 20 phenomenal years of curiosity, grit and dedication to the world's under-covered stories, and cheers to those who continue to report the international news that keeps us informed every day. #IRPfellows

I wouldn't have been able to go to Bangladesh without the support of @IRP_media. For 20 years, it sent journalists around the world to cover stories that otherwise might never have been told. Stories like those of Sadaf, Rohinee, Tofrida, and Bijayata: https://t.co/EaD8FIxcDy

As US lawmakers debate details of a “Green New Deal,” should they be looking more globally? https://t.co/5n81FY3gHF

Like Joy, many women who find themselves trapped into sex work in Europe eventually go home, either when they’re deported or when they voluntarily return. https://t.co/OCHOuzv3Sk #EndHumanTrafficking #WomensLives

In Uganda, the conflict left behind former abductees, widows & single mothers without any specific redress in one of the poorest regions. A group of women is trying to overcome that — one cake at a time. My piece for @womenslives (thanks to @IRP_media ).

For South Sudanese refugee girls who are accessing education against all odds in the settlements of Uganda, schooling feels like the key to moving past trauma, rebuilding their lives & returning home. My piece for @broadly. https://t.co/WMRao4iYmR @IRP_media

IRP shut its doors two months ago today, but so many dedicated journalists who received its fellowships are still producing important stories from around the world. This piece from @kristamahr is one of them. #IRPfellows https://t.co/AzGXNj4eNj

[Matt Ozug @Matt_Ozug]

This story - on Nigerian women in Italy being trafficked into sex work - is not easy to listen to. But I'm grateful to @kristamahr for reporting it and for bringing it to @npratc - and to @IRP_media for making it possible. https://t.co/B43WH7H8vT
