The magazine Our editorial line
Our editorial line
What Au féminin covers, who it is for, and how the newsroom works.
Au féminin tells the stories of women who are changing sport in Africa and across the diasporas. And gives every reader what she needs to find her own way to move.
Profiles come first
The profile is the heart of the magazine. A Moroccan skateboarder who joins a building apprenticeship, a South African cyclist who signs her first contract: we tell journeys, skills and choices, one person at a time. A profile always opens the magazine.
Six sections, six promises
- Profiles
- Women who are changing their sport, their city or the way they are seen.
- Mothers & sport
- What coming back to sport really takes, told by the women living it.
- Health
- Clear answers to the questions you ask about your body when you move.
- Nutrition
- Eating around sport, with everyday dishes.
- Sportswear
- Designers, fabrics and ways to wear them.
- Where to train
- Checked addresses, city by city, so you can get started.
Two reading levels
Every Health or Nutrition article answers one question and carries a label. Getting started is for women who are beginning, coming back or exercising for themselves. Going further is for women who train often or are preparing for competition.
All articles are built the same way: the essentials in three points, the answers, a practical box, then the signs that should lead you to seek advice.
How we work
- Articles are written by the Sport News Africa newsroom.
- Health and nutrition guidance comes from public health bodies and learned societies. Every article shows when it was last updated.
- Place listings show the date their details were checked. A price appears only when it is known.
- Photos are credited. A reported error is corrected.
What you will not find here
No pressure, no ideal body, no weight target, no miracle product. No diagnosis either: for a medical question, a health professional remains the right person to ask. Women are not reduced to a figure, any more than to a colour.
