Kyzzhibek Batyrkanova leads a team of women who aim to launch Kyrgyzstan’s 1st ever satellite. As the program director at the Kyrgyz Satellite she built a team of unstoppable women who will make history. They learn the basics of engineering and apply those skills to build a nano-satellite that can collect and analyze data from outer space. Once they reach the final goal of securing a launch service provider, the satellite will be transported to the International Space Station and launched into orbit. In a country where young women face rigid gender stereotypes and even kidnapping that forces them to become wives, the women at Kyrgyz Satellite are pioneering a new space for girls in STEM.

In the last 5 years, 814 people in Pakistan were electrocuted to death from bad electric wiring. In culturally conservative households, where male electricians can’t enter homes without a male present, an all-female electrician team has been a missing workforce. Bakhtawar is a Roshni Baji, a 100-women team that has served more than 140,000 homes. Roshani Baji Program has helped women in Pakistan join the workforce by providing training to become certified female electricians. ‘It gets difficult out in the fields, but this should not stop us.

November 26th 2021: GuiYing Ma, was sweeping the side of her Jackson Heights apartment in Queens and she was suddenly struck by a man in her head repeatedly with a rock. Her husband Zhanxin Gao was visited by the NYPD and he was devastated to discover that his wife suffered severe damage to her head. Zhanxin was at work when heard that GuiYing’s condition unexpectedly turned for the worse. After fighting for several weeks in a coma, their 40 years of marriage was cut short. Zhanxin was left with grief. He is now taking his beloved GuiYing’s ashes back to Liaoning, China - he felt that staying in America was purposeless and he is prioritizing being around his supportive grandchildren. Data compiled by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism states that anti-AAPI hate crime went up 339% nationally last year. Reports on race and gender based reporting have increased, but beyond the statistics we can't measure what Zhanxin is currently feeling. EST Media is asking our viewers to donate financially to his GoFundMe or their time by sharing this story. His page has surpassed his financial goals to cover for GuiYing’s funeral and for medical bills, but he is still accepting donations.

China’s Zero-COVID Policy meant lower rates of COVID infection than most other countries, but Western media has circulated violent flaws in China’s lockdown system in Shanghai. Tensions are high, as police in hazmat suits clashed with residents in Shanghai who refused to leave an apartment complex that was cordoned to become a quarantine facility. This comes from the added pressure on citizens' quality of life - people are facing food shortages due to overwhelmed supply chains and delivery services. Since the pandemic Western countries like the United States have seen nearly 1M deaths from COVID. What do you think of China’s Zero Covid Policy? Would this work in your country?
