About
Founder-led. Globally reported.
WSN was founded to document women's resilience with the precision of international journalism — and to make sure those stories travel.

Founder
Sheikha Aldosary
EU Chaillot Prize for Human Rights Recipient
20+ years on the ground — and a conviction that women's stories deserve the world's best journalism.
Sheikha has reported across the USA, EU, and Middle East for outlets including The New York Times, AFP, and The Washington Post. She founded WSN to put that same standard of craft behind women whose stories are too often missed.
