Biography

Reade Levinson is a London-based investigative reporter for Reuters, which she joined in June 2016. She was part of a team that last year revealed secrets behind the Nigerian military's long campaign to crush the nation's Islamist insurgency: a mass abortion programme aimed at women and girls impregnated by Boko Haram fighters, and targeted killings of children. She has also written about stolen Ukrainian grain, the wealth of Burmese generals, a 200-year-old British pub and the international trade in human body parts. Previously, she reported on U.S. immigration and policing.
