A pioneering journalist, Sue Lloyd-Roberts worked at both ITN and the BBC. She was renowned for her courageous, uncompromising reporting that gave a voice to the voiceless.

Sue died in October 2015, yet her inspiring legacy lives on through several projects that promote journalism, women and human rights.

The Sue-Lloyd Roberts Scholarship is offered to postgraduate students at the University of Cardiff’s Journalism Media and Cultural Studies. Candidates are chosen for their interest in international affairs, human rights or the environment, and are expected to undertake a project related to these themes during the course.

Sue’s book The War on Women  is a breath-taking and visceral narrative, interweaving the real-life experiences of the heroines combating gross inequality. It is an examination of how women are treated across the globe: from the pay gap in the UK and the laundries in Ireland, to gender discrimination in Saudi Arabia and female genital mutilation in Africa.

Published by Simon and Schuster, The War on Women is on sale via the following retailers:
