As part of our coverage for International Women’s Day on the March 8, we are looking into the phenomenon of human trafficking from Africa to Europe. Thousands of women arrive in Italy, victims of sex-trafficking, after a gruelling journey across the Mediterranean. Once in Italy, many of them fall into the hands of prostitution rings. Obliged to reimburse huge debts, they find themselves prisoners of organised crime groups who force them into prostitution. FRANCE 24 correspondent Natalia Mendoza offers us an insight into the nightmare these women are going through, and the initiatives of humanitarian organisations that are trying to help them. Natalia Mendoza, Tommaso Marro, Bernard Bedarida, Charlotte Davan Wetton report.…

This week, the US tightened the screws on Ukraine, pausing military aid until Kyiv shows more willingness to negotiate—starting with handing over half its rare earth resources to America. Moscow welcomed the shift, calling it “aligned with the Kremlin’s vision,” while Ukraine scrambled to smooth things over with a letter to Trump. Trump also kicked off the biggest protectionist move since 1930, slapping heavy tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Markets tanked, and The Wall Street Journal called it “the dumbest tariff war in history.” By week’s end, signs of a rollback emerged, and Justin Trudeau hit back with his own “Dear Donald” letter. In Turkey, a major breakthrough: the PKK declared a ceasefire after its jailed leader called for disarmament, signaling an end to a four-decade conflict that claimed over 40,000 lives. A rare good news story—one that could also extend Erdogan’s rule.…

For the best part of five decades, Jacques Attali has been whispering in the ears of French presidents. Initially an economist, he has written over 80 books and essays, sat in some of the most secret high-level meetings alongside former president François Mitterrand, and was the architect of Mikhail Gorbachev's 1991 presence at the G7 in the UK. Attali speaks to FRANCE 24 about the geopolitical storm hitting Europe and the prospect of war with Russia.…

Wax print fabrics or Ankara fabrics are known for their graphic patterns, bold colours and catchy slogans. The iconic cloth is now being celebrated in an exhibition at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris, where curators have been exploring its anthropological, social and political role on the African continent and beyond. Kenyan artist Thandiwe Muriu joins us to talk about the fabric’s function in her striking portraits, and how she uses textiles to explore identity, aesthetics and her own place in society. Thandiwe tells us how clothes and the messages they send can empower and emancipate women, and we discuss the use of traditional motifs in contemporary fashion, as African prints seduce designers all over the world.…

To mark International Women's Day, we focus on what was clearly the biggest story in France in recent months. That being the rape trial of Gisele Pelicot who went on to become a global feminist icon after waiving her right to remain anonymous. A court in Avignon hearing how for nearly a decade, the 72-year-old grandmother had been drugged unconscious by her husband and offered to more than 80 strangers for sex. But will Gisele Pelicot's extraordinary bravery result in substantive change especially as there is no definition of consent in French rape law? Annette Young is joined by Louise-Anne Baudrier from the Women’s Foundation and Megan Clement, the editor-in-chief of the Paris-based feminist newsletter, Impact. We also take a look at the need to teach consent from an early age.…

International Women’s Day first took place in March 1911, with more than a million people marking the event in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. At that time, women were not allowed to vote, and in numerous countries higher education was not open to women, and divorce was not legal. A huge amount has changed since then, of course. The political leaders of two of the EU’s three top institutions today are women, for example. But violence against women and gaps in pay between men and women persist, to name but two pressing issues that the EU is still trying to address. We explore the state of women's rights in Europe on the occasion of the 2025 International Women’s Day – 114 years after the original milestone.…

Ukraine’s allies have plenty of troops and hardware. But how battle ready are they? And is it enough to deter Putin’s Russia? Brussels is hosting an emergency summit with Volodymyr Zelensky attending as the Trump administration halts support for Ukraine. The sense of urgency is also illustrated by Germany reaching a deal to revise its constitution so it can ensure its security without US protection. But how far can Europeans go, including the British, if their US-made equipment can’t operate without Washington’s approval or in some cases without its intelligence.…
