MATERNAL DISPATCHES with Hollie McKay
Maternal Dispatches with Hollie McKay is where frontline war reporting meets the stories that matter most: maternal health, human rights, and the human cost of conflict, told from the mother's lens.
Every week, I dive into the headlines that should be making news: the hidden humanitarian crises, the mothers and families too often forgotten, and the extraordinary resilience of people surviving on the margins of war and policy failure.
Welcome to Maternal Dispatches — where empathy leads the conversation.

This episode of "Dispatches with Hollie McKay" delves into the forgotten crisis of the Uyghur Muslim minority in China, detailing their mass disappearances into re-education and labor camps and the global silence, largely due to economic interests.
Dennis and Hollie then discuss a concerning trend of declining empathy worldwide, exacerbated by social media, where indifference is becoming normalized. Finally, they address the disturbing online hostility towards expressions of compassion for suffering children, particularly in conflict zones, highlighting the dangerous politicization of innocent lives.
