![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From the gender pay gap in Britain to forced marriage in Kashmir and from rape as a weapon of war to honour killings, Sue has examined humankind s history and takes us on a journey to analyse the state of women s lives today. She gives voice to Maimouna, the woman responsible for taking over her mother s role as the village female circumciser in the Gambia and provides a platform for the 11-year-old Manemma, who was married off in Jaipur at the age of six. The War on Women brings to life the inconceivable and dangerous life Sue led, it tells the story of Mary Merritt who was imprisoned in a baby laundry in Dublin and of Monica, who was trafficked and forced into the sex trade in Bosnia. But in observing first-hand the war on the female race she also documented their incredible determination to fight back. During her 30-year-long career she travelled the world and witnessed the worst atrocities inflicted on women. In1973, Sue Lloyd Roberts joined ITN as a news trainee and went on to be the UK's first female video-journalist to report alone from the bleak outposts of the Soviet Union, China and Iran. ![]()
