Outer Voices is an independent media team dedicated to sharing the untold stories of grassroots women leaders from remote parts of the globe working for peace and cultural preservation. To do this, they have hiked the jungles of northern Laos, sailed across the Solomon Islands, travelled illegally into refugee camps on the Thai/Burma border, and most recently, trekked into southeastern Bhutan with Her Majesty the Queen Mother of Bhutan.
Its radio documentaries have been broadcast on over 600 public and community radio stations across the United States and internationally.
Beyond broadcasting they create ways for people to interact with women who are transforming the world, and in the process finding ways to transform their own.
Outer Voices' work has been awarded the Gracie Allen Award for Outstanding Documentary.
