Women's Annex Expands Beyond Film Annex
Women's Annex, an interactive platform and online film network that promotes and supports women's empowerment, has grown to become its own entity, and has recently grown outside its origins. Founded by Roya Mahboob, a 2013 Time 100 honoree, the website hosts 6,000 license-free professional films across a variety of topics. Women in Central Asia are encouraged to write articles for the site and host videos on their WebTV. Both actions help them earn money, increasing their agency by allowing them to be financial self-starters.
