Topics Covered
Her Unmuted explores the systemic barriers and stories of women across various fields and issues. Through conversations with leaders, educators, and advocates, we examine how gender inequality continues to shape opportunities in education, politics, healthcare, STEM, and society, and what can be done to challenge it. We pair advocacy with community partnerships and direct support, spearheading tangible change in our community.
Women in STEM
Gender disparities continue to exist in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Women make up only about 28–34% of the global STEM workforce, and representation drops even further in fields like engineering and computer science. These gaps are often shaped by factors such as bias, lack of mentorship, and limited representation. By highlighting women working in STEM fields, we aim to inspire young women to pursue careers in science and innovation.
Women’s Voices & Advocacy
Women’s voices have historically been underrepresented in public conversations and decision making spaces. Globally, less than one-third of expert voices quoted in major media outlets are women, and many women still face barriers to having their perspectives heard. Advocacy and storytelling play a critical role in challenging inequality, raising awareness, and creating change. Through interviews and conversations, Her Unmuted aims to amplify the voices and experiences of women from diverse backgrounds.
Women in Leadership
Women remain underrepresented in leadership positions across many sectors. Globally, women hold only about 32% of senior leadership roles, and in politics they make up around 26% of national parliament members. Despite growing representation, women often face double standards around leadership traits and decision-making. Through conversations with women leaders, we explore how these barriers can be challenged and how more inclusive leadership spaces can be built.
Gender-Based Violence - Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence
Gender-based violence, including domestic violence and sexual assault, remains one of the world's most pervasive human rights issues. Globally, nearly 1 in 3 women (approximately 840 million women and girls) will experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, most often at the hands of an intimate partner. Despite its prevalence, these forms of violence remain significantly underreported due to stigma, fear, and barriers to accessing support. Through direct support and conversations with survivors, advocates, and professionals, we raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and explore how education, prevention, and community action can help create a future where every woman can live free from violence.
