How India’s first all-women newsroom is creating a media revolution

Khabar Lahariya or Waves of News is an all-women newsroom in northern India.

Its co-founder, Kavita Bundelkhandi, learned to write when she was 12. Many of her staff are from marginalised backgrounds and include survivors of domestic abuse and violence.

Her team has faced discrimination and death threats, but have gone on to produce award-winning stories about illegal mining, jungle bandits and the daily lives of rural communities.
