From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are unique--as are their advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or with men on Whatsapp who will go on to become ISIS fighters, rebels, or pro-regime soldiers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eOur Women on the Ground\u003c\/i\u003e, nineteen of these women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report on conflicts that (quite literally) hit close to home.
