ABOUT PROXY

We are Proxy by IWI - the journalist opinionated side of The IWI: International Women’s Initiative, the leading women’s human rights, advocacy and policy centre. Finding information fuelled by facts can be difficult. That is why Aubrey Shayler created Proxy by IWI. Featuring hard-hitting original reporting as well as smart analysis, provocative argument, and first-person perspectives. Unapologetically opinionated but never partisan, we bring perspective, not more punditry. Proxy by IWI provokes and inspires with facts, and never bores or lectures.

STAY FEMINIST...STAY WOKE - JUST LIKE OUR FOUNDER.....
