about the magazine

Women In Action covers a broad range of issues affecting women globally, but focusing on the particular needs and concerns of women in the Global South, and forwarding a progressive perspective tempered by the experiences of the thirld world women's movements. As a triannual, the magazine comes out in print form every four months of the year, and circulated worldwide with the most number of copies going to Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and South America. With this online version of Women In Action, we hope to reach more women globally particularly those who are in a position to share Women In Action with individual women and women's organization who do not have access to electronic networking.

Not all the titles in the print form of Women In Action are available in this site though. For the full print version, you may subscribe or, if you are also publishing women-focused reading materials, arrange for an exchange of publications.
