WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
Berit As, now 96 years old, has been a psychologist, a politician, a professor, and an activist – but she began her professional career as a statistician. In this interview, she tells how she introduced gender-disaggregation into Norway’s accident statistics, and her conclusions about how boys and girls were socialized with respect to risk-taking – and about the establishment’s resistance to recognizing that women were safer workers and drivers than men. The feminist university that Berit As initiated has become a research arm of Norway’s university system.
The Women’s International News Gathering Service (WINGS) has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio since 1986. WINGS may be contacted at [email protected].
