BBC 100 Women
The BBC’s 100 Women season returns today, shining a light on women’s lives around the world. Launched in 2013, 100 Women kick-started the BBC’s pledge to better represent women in its international news output.

Now in its third year, the 2015 season will encompass a fortnight of debates, programmes, special reports and journalism, and reveal this year’s list of 100 inspirational women.
For two weeks starting from 18 November, the 100 Women season will feature special reports, programmes and discussions running across BBC World News, bbc.com and the 29 languages of BBC World Service, as well as network news.
Each year, the BBC names 100 women - a mix of influential women who are world leaders in politics, science and entertainment, as well as less well-known but inspirational women from all over the world. The list includes 30 female entrepreneurs under the age of 30, women over the age of 80 and nurses from frontline war zones, to informal birth attendants.
The list of 100 Women is now available and published here.
