Jessie Lau is a writer, freelance journalist, editor & artist
I’m a London-based writer and journalist from Hong Kong with over a decade of reporting experience. A generalist with expertise on China and Asia, I cover human rights, politics, society and culture from a transnational feminist perspective. My work has appeared in The Guardian, CNN, The Economist, WIRED and many others. I fronted the BBC documentary “China’s Silenced Feminist” and executive-produced the Channel 4 News film “China’s Feminist Fightback." Formerly based in Beijing and California, I’m now editor-in-chief and board member at NüVoices, a non-profit amplifying gender minorities working on China subjects.
