A Ukrainian mother starts a support group for parents of LGBTI children. A Kazakh man living near the shrinking Aral Sea has to protect his home from encroaching sands. Women police officers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, fed up with the status quo, are turning the tide of domestic violence. A family in northern Georgia works to turn wine making into a sustainable business.

They are stories from our under-reported Eurasia region, where people’s voices often go unheard.
