Women in the Crossfire: The Hidden Economic Frontline of Modern War
By Ifeanyi’s Daughter War is often measured in territory gained or lost, military strength displayed, and political alliances reshaped. Governments debate strategies and armies dominate head-lines. Yet beneath the geopolitical calculations lies another battlefield that receives far less attention. Modern wars are also economic earthquakes, and women are frequently standing on the most fragile and […]

What If Here Was Enough?
By The Lulu I used to think arrival was a place. That peace waited at the next turn, that joy lived in another city, that success had a postcode somewhere not here. And they said, “You’ll know when you get there.” So I packed my dreams, I packed my heart into boxes of “someday.” Telling […]
The Ozempic Era: Beyond Weight Loss A deep dive into Medicine, Morality, and the Modern Body
By Ikupolusi Ariyike There was a time when weight loss lived in the realm of willpower, discipline, diet plans, and gym memberships that quietly expired. Then came a class of drugs that didn’t just assist weight loss; they rewired appetite itself. Enter GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and their growing pharmaceutical cousins. Originally designed to […]
Raising Women Magazine Issue 38 – March 2026
As we approach International Women’s Day, we lean into this year’s agenda: Give to Gain. It is a simple phrase, yet profoundly strategic. Progress for women has never been sustained by visibility alone. It has been built through investment, mentorship, solidarity, and the deliberate transfer of opportunity.
On our cover, Ambassador Keisha McGuire represents this principle in motion. Her leadership in global diplomacy reminds us that when women give knowledge, courage, and access, they do not diminish their power. They multiply it.
This edition examines what it truly means to give: time, resources, platforms, protection, policy influence. And what we gain in return: stronger institutions, fairer systems, and a generation of women who enter rooms already prepared.
International Women’s Day is not a performance. It is a responsibility.
When women give intentionally, we all gain collectively.
The question is not whether we will celebrate. The question is how we will contribute.
Raising Women Magazine Issue 037 – February 2026
Visibility without integrity is performance. Voice without community is exposure. This edition honours women who speak anyway, who build anyway, who love anyway.
RW MAGAZINE Issue 36 – FEB 2026
February arrives wrapped in expectation. Red roses, grand gestures, and a narrow definition of love that often leaves women carrying far more than they receive. This edition of Raising Women Magazine gently resists that script. Ahead of Valentine’s Day, we chose to centre love as it is actually lived by women: complex, layered, and deeply […]
ISSUE 034
As we arrive at the final pages of 2025, this
Christmas edition feels both tender and collective. It
is a pause between what has been and what is
quietly becoming. A season of warmth, reflection,
and honest stock taking, wrapped in the familiar
comfort of family, memory, and hope.
This issue is about finishing well. Not with noise or
perfection, but with intention. Across these pages,
we explore purpose, resilience, womanhood,
healing, and the quiet power of choosing peace in a
world that constantly demands performance.
Being the cover star of this final issue is not about
visibility, but responsibility. It is about holding space
for reflection and renewal, and reminding ourselves
that growth often arrives softly. In wisdom earned,
boundaries honoured, and rest finally embraced.
As the year closes, I hope this edition meets you
gently. Whether you are celebrating milestones,
sitting with loss, or rebuilding in silence, remember
this, finishing strong is not about how the year
looked, but how you choose to step forward.
Here is to light, intention, and the courage to begin
again. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a
great New Year
ISSUE 019
This May, we’re not just making noise, we’re making statements. And who better to lead the charge than our cover star, Stephanie Busari? Journalist… Trailblazer, Truth-teller. The kind of woman who doesn’t just report the headlines, she rewrites them.
ISSUE 017
As April bows out (with questionable grace), we’re serving a masterclass in audacity, because why whisper when you can roar? This issue is a love letter to women who rewrite rules without permission.
