WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR MONDAY, OCTOBER 28TH The Federal Government has announced reductions to immigration target levels. What is behind this decision and what sort of an impact will these changes have on housing availability and affordability? We tackle the topic with Victoria Esses, Director of the ‘Network for Economic and Social Trends' at Western University. As if making ‘healthy' food choices on a daily basis isn't hard enough, new research is now suggesting ‘how' we cook our food should also be a consideration. We catch up with Dr. Ted Jablonski for details on a new study focusing on the potential health risks of cooking with ‘non-stick' pots & pans. Next. Spring 2025 will be the kickoff for Canada's new professional women's soccer team, and Calgary's “Wild FC” will be one of the founding clubs of the Northern Super League.

Women in Afghanistan continue to be suppressed and marginalised by the Taliban government, with a steady stream of new laws and edicts, dictating what they can and can't do.This has alarmed and shocked human rights defenders in Afghanistan, and across the world. Also expressing their outrage are governments around the world.And yet, many are still trying to find a way through that would allow them to do business with the Taliban, and condemn human rights violations.This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, we look at how the international community should approach the Taliban. Engage or disengage? How can they be pressured to reverse the draconian measures against women? And how can the Taliban authorities be held accountable for their human rights atrocities without penalising the population?We're joined by Kate Clark (@KateClark66), co-director of Afghanistan Analysts Network (@AANafgh), Zahra Nader (@ZahraYusufi), Afghan journalist and editor-in-chief of Zan Times (@ZanTimes), based in North America, and Shaharzad Akbar (@ShaharzadAkbar), director of civil society group Rawadari (@rawadari_org), human rights activist and Academy Fellow at Chatham House (@ChathamHouse).This podcast is written and produced by Rosabel Crean (@CreanRosabel), with additional help from Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).

Known worldwide as activists and symbols for equality, their lives were suddenly in danger.

**TW: This episode contains content about domestic violence and sexual assault** In this episode, Shireen Ahmed, Brenda Elsey and Jessica Luther start the show with their most memorable first day of school moments. For the main topic, they discuss how Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse (DVSA) reports are handled (and ignored) in sports. They talk about the various actions and in-actions taken by professional leagues and individual organizations to address DVSA reports, which has oftentimes protected the abusers. They also discuss the challenges journalists face in properly reporting on DVSA in sport and getting these stories published in the mainstream media. Following this discussion is a tease of Shireen's interview with Kelly Lindsey, former coach of the Afghanistan Women's National Football Team, on how soccer was used in recent weeks to get Afghan athletes to safety. Next, they burn more sports garbage in the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearers of the Week, the Canada National Women's Hockey Team who won Gold at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship! With a dramatic overtime goal by Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada beat Team USA 3-2. Lastly, they wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and they they're watching this week.

What does the return of the Taliban mean for female football in Afghanistan? Afghanistan is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South Asia. It is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south, Iran to the west, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to the north, and Tajikistan and China to the northeast The Taliban, which refers to itself as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a Deobandi Islamist religious-political movement and military organization in Afghanistan, regarded by many governments and organizations as terrorists. The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Footballeurs Professionnels, generally referred to as FIFPro, is the worldwide representative organisation for 65,000 professional footballers. FIFPro, with its global headquarters in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, is made up of 67 national players' associations.

After watching the chaos and fear taking place in Afghanistan, KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson wanted to hear from her guests on A Woman's View how they understand what is happening in Afghanistan. Her guests this week are State Senator Karen Mayne and Pamela Atkinson, community advocate and senior advisor to Governor Spencer Cox.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Taliban promised yesterday that they would respect women's rights, forgive those who had fought against them, they will not seek revenge on Afghans who worked for former or western governments, and they will also encourage a free press and restore peace. Laying out the Taliban's official policy agenda for the first time since seizing power, the group's spokesman insisted that women would be allowed to work and study but, ominously, guaranteed their rights only “within the framework of sharia”.Zabihullah Mujahid told a press conference in Kabul that women “can have activities in different areas and serve in education and health but of course within the frameworks we have”.

*Special 1 hour podcast for International Women's Day 2020!* CIPE's most recent Center for Women's Economic Empowerment (CWEE) event brought together two of CIPE's most notable partners together from the other side of the globe: Manizha Wafeq of the Afghanistan Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Foluke Ademokun of the Association of Nigerian Women’s Business Network. They are joined by CWEE Director Barbara Langley as they all discuss ways to improve conditions for women in the economy, as well as their efforts and achievements in eradication barriers through business leadership and advocacy.  The podcasts guests were brought in 2019 as panelists for an event at CIPE Headquarters. Watch the full livestream of the event today. 

As the growth of the women’s game continues, I look at the sexual abuse case affecting the Afghanistan Women’s National Team. Brought to the media’s attention by ex player Khalida Popal, several squad players sought Popal out to confide in her regarding them being sexually abused by head of Afghanistan Football Federation Keramuudin Kerim. I talk about whether the football world is doing enough to protect players at risk of exploitation.

Lima Charlie News Sports Correspondents & veterans Mario Figueroa (USMC), James Cordea (USMC) and Stephanie Kline (USMC) - 3 Marines - break down the world of sports on their weekly podcast "3Marines". Episode 06: This week the 3 Marines try to do the podcast sober for a second week in a row. User experience may vary, but if you stick around past the botched intro you will hear our NFL Divisional Round Recap, Championship Sunday Predictions (with more of James’ fun state facts), an update on the amazing women of the UConn basketball team, as well as more of Mario’s off topic rants. Premier league standings, porn stars and questionable training round out the show, plus stick around to the end where the team shouts out a fellow Marine who is doing wonderful things for the Afghanistan Women’s National Football team.

As troops withdraw and aid declines, this is a critical period of transition for Afghanistan. At this forum, the speakers questioned what has been achieved to date. The event also included the Australia launch of The Asia Foundation’s Survey of the Afghan People 2013. This is the biggest public opinion poll in Afghanistan, covering all 34 provinces. Through face-to-face interviews, over 9,000 Afghan citizens revealed their opinions on security, political participation, the economy, women’s rights, and development. The forum also scrutinised the 2013 report of the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee on Australia’s overseas development programs in Afghanistan. This critical report found that while Afghanistan ‘remains in need of substantial and continuing aid,’ to date, Australian achievements in Afghanistan may not be as substantial as initial indicators suggest. Speakers include: Mark Kryzer, Afghanistan Country Representative, The Asia Foundation Palwasha Kakar, Director of the Afghanistan Women’s Empowerment Program, The Asia Foundation Senator Alan Eggleston, Liberal Party, Western Australia (Chair of the Afghanistan aid Senate inquiry. Nematullah Bizhan, ANU PhD student working on aid to Afghanistan. He was formerly Afghanistan’s Deputy Minister for Youth among other positions.
