For this special International Women's Day episode, we are joined by Cherie Blair, CBE KC, a distinguished barrister and human rights lawyer. A passionate advocate for women's rights, Cherie is a true champion for gender equality. In this episode we discuss with her the impactful work of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, which she founded in 2008. The Foundation empowers women entrepreneurs in low and middle-income countries by providing skills, technology, and financial resources. They have just published a new report that highlights how digital technologies are a double-edged sword for women entrepreneurs in low and middle-income countries. While providing invaluable new ways of growing a business, the rise in online sexual harassment and misogyny aimed at female entrepreneurs is undermining the benefits of the technological revolution. The wide-ranging conversation explores the importance of economic gender justice and how empowering women can lead to broader societal benefits.
Book Club #129 - A Voyage Around The Queen - Richard talks to journalist Craig Brown about his fantastic biography of Queen Elizabeth II, A Voyage Around the Queen. They discuss his glorious tangential approach to biography which he's already used to great effect in books on Princess Margaret and the Beatles, how the Queen in an alternate universe might have been a more anonymous figure, how she had been there through almost all of our lives, the occasionally excretory effect she had on people how met her, whether it's possible to grasp her real character, the profundity of people queuing to see her lying in state, the possible truth about Michael Fagan and how Rich might have figured in the book had he been a little braver. Plus how Royal protocol resulted in Cherie Blair getting pregnant, how Craig upset Donald Trump and the wrong uns that drifted through the Queen's life.Buy the book here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Voyage-Around-Queen-bestselling-biography/dp/0008557497Come to a RHLSTP live! - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Welcoming Dhivya O'Connor's, CEO of the Cherie Blair Foundation and host and founder of The Charity CEO Podcast Dhivya grew up in India but at the age of 18, Dhivya moved to the UK for her studies. Initially planning to return to India after completing her education, she found herself drawn to the opportunities that the UK offered. For a decade, Dhivya built a successful career in the private sector, holding various strategy, business development, and leadership roles at companies such as GE Capital, Lloyds Bank, and OctopusTravel (now part of Expedia Group). However, the call to make a more direct impact on society led Dhivya to transition into the charity sector. Over the past 24 years, she has held several senior leadership positions, including CEO roles at United World Schools, the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, and Children with Cancer UK. Her diverse experience, coupled with her innate drive to create equitable opportunities for women and girls, made her the perfect fit for her current role as CEO of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women. Founded by Cherie Blair in 2008, the Foundation aims to empower women entrepreneurs in low-income countries through training, research, and ecosystem collaboration. Under Dhivya's leadership, the organisation continues to address the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, particularly in accessing finance and education. The Foundation's work emphasises the importance of amplifying the voices of women entrepreneurs and creating opportunities for them to thrive. Dhivya's commitment to the charity sector extends beyond her day job. She serves as a Board Member of Book Aid International and is on the Steering Committee of Groundbreakers, a network promoting women leaders in the voluntary sector. She has also volunteered with NGOs in India, South Africa, and Cambodia, bringing her expertise and passion to various causes around the world. In August 2020, while on maternity leave with her second child, Dhivya launched "The Charity CEO Podcast." This chart-topping show, which now boasts over 20,000 listeners across 55 countries, aims to inspire, inform, and deliver practical insights on the challenges facing charity leaders today. Through candid and meaningful conversations, Dhivya delves deep into issues relevant to leaders across the sector and those who care about the important work of charities and non-profit organisations. Dhivya shares her diverse experiences in both the private and charity sectors, combined with her personal understanding of the challenges faced by women in developing countries. Dhivya's is uniquely positions her to lead the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women now and in the future.

Some topics we cover include : Clinton and Blair's friendship and what it was like to be married to government leaders - and how they refused to give up their own identities in the process The progress we have made, the pushback we face for it, and how the COVID-19 pandemic plays a part What putting power back into the hands of women does for women, their families, communities, and the world What holds women entrepreneurs and business leaders back How outdated, gendered stereotypes create barriers for women all over the world Ways to continue driving progress and overcoming the forces that hold women — and the world — back How the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women is supporting women entrepreneurs around the world What keeps Clinton and Blair hopeful for the future Transcription is available here Read more about the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women Become a mentor for the Foundation Donate to the Foundation Changemakers: How women make change happen This is the first episode of the new Changemakers series which explores how women make change happen from those at the top helping to drive it.

“There is a problem! Business has a problem, the world has a problem, because we are just not utilising the talents, the ambitions, the drive of half the world's population (the female half)... Economic gender justice is essential both for women's freedom and equality, but also for the development of the world.” We are honoured to have on the podcast, Cherie Blair CBE KC! As the Founder of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, Cherie has been a relentless advocate for women's rights, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Our discussion delves into her vision for the Foundation, her journey as a leading barrister and King's Counsel in the male-dominated legal profession, and the gendered challenges women still confront today. Cherie is of course, the wife of the former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and is an inspiration to women across the world. Recorded January 2024.
This episode features a fascinating conversation with Fiona Millar, a journalist and campaigner on education and parenting issues whose work I have admired for many years. Following a career in journalism, Fiona worked in the office of the Leader of the Opposition from 1995 to 1997, and as an adviser to Tony and Cherie Blair from 1995 to 2003. On leaving Downing Street, Fiona started writing a monthly column for The Guardian about education, and in 2004 she made a documentary film for Channel Four called The Best for My Child, examining how the quasi-market in schools was working in practice. In 2018, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Education Reform Act 1988, Fiona published a fascinating book with the same name as her earlier documentary - The Best for My Child: Did the schools market deliver? Of this book, Melissa Benn wrote: Fiona Millar combines a profound understanding of the way schools work on the ground with unrivalled political acumen. This insightful account of what the market revolution has really meant for England's education system is an important and absorbing read. I whole-heartedly agree. It's very well written and I think it's really required reading for anyone who wants to understand the weirdly hierarchical, disjointed school system that we have today - and therefore how we might create a more equitable system that works for all young people. It's also well worth reading back through Fiona's many excellent articles in the Guardian, including her most recent setting out how Labour can fix the education system - a topic on which we alight in this conversation. There's a link to her Guardian profile below and it's well worth an hour of your time.

This is an episode of the Creativity Found podcast, featuring host Anna Stoecklein's interview. In it, she discusses her journey from nurse to podcaster, how she came up with the idea and created The Story of Woman, and what's next for the podcast! Creativity Found Original episode with transcript The Creative Brain is a catalyst for change. For many years Anna Stoecklein believed that creativity was limited to traditional forms of art, such as painting or drawing. However, after watching the Netflix documentary The Creative Brain, she realized that creativity is everywhere, and that everyone is creative in their own way. This realization was a game-changer for Anna, as it allowed her to see her own creativity and potential. Anna had a creative childhood, but that took a back seat during her teenage years and early adulthood. Anna studied nursing, and after three years of working in a clinical setting, she realized it wasn't for her. She couldn't see herself climbing the management ladder or going back to school to become a nurse practitioner. Other career roles followed, along with a move from the US to the UK. The lessons Anna had learnt from that documentary percolated, until a few years later she was able to put them to good use as she turned the idea for The Story of Woman podcast into a fully-fledged show. In this episode Anna and I discuss how she was able to challenge and reframe her self-perception as a "non-creative" person, as well as the amazing experiences she's had with her podcast guests, including conversations with Hillary Clinton and Cherie Blair. — Become a Patron for access to bonus content and to support the podcast, or buy me a (metaphorical) coffee Follow us: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Tik Tok | Youtube | LinkedIn Subscribe to our newsletter for a weekly dose of all things WOMAN We need more women's stories in the world!

Revelations from nearly 12 million leaked confidential financial records have thrown light on the concealed wealth of powerful public figures around the world. How do they hide their money, and why is this information important? The Pandora Papers were released this week showing that Jordan's King - Abdullah II amassed $100 million in property including homes in The United States and London. An alleged mistress of Vladimir Putin, Russia's leader managed to covertly buy a luxury residence in Monaco.

Yasmine Mohammed is an ex-Muslim Canadian educator, human rights activist and author who is critical of Islam. Mohammed, who escaped a forced, abusive marriage to an Al-Qaeda operative, became an advocate for women's rights through her non-profit organization Free Hearts, Free Minds. She is a member of the Center for Inquiry Speaker's Bureau and on the board of advisory for the Brighter Brains Institute. Through her initiative Free Hearts, Free Minds she supports closeted ex-Muslims from Muslim-majority countries and co-ordinates an online campaign called #NoHijabDay against World Hijab Day. She also has a website. Mohammed has been interviewed by Sam Harris, Seth Andrews, and several news outlets from multiple countries, and in 2019 self-published the book Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam. MUSICAL GUEST: SHANE THOMAS Shane Thomas is still in his early 20s, but his extraordinary story started when he was 3. He insisted he could play the piano at that age despite never having touched one in his short life, apart from a tendency to play an imaginary one on the carpet. Shane finally got his hands on a piano aged 7, sat down at the keys and immediately starting playing all sorts of recognisable tunes with both hands. Within weeks he was composing his own pieces. A month later he made his first public performance and was nominated for the national Talented Youngster of The Year Award. The top prize in the Music for Youth Awards then followed. By the time he was 9, despite not having had a piano lesson, he achieved Grade 8, having skipped Grades 1 to 7. He was playing all the classics, just about any contemporary pop song and was even arranging them in a classical style. Shane was asked to appear on The One Show where Jamie Cullum exclaimed ‘he's amazing!'. The Daily Telegraph hailed Shane as a ‘mini Mozart'. At 11 Shane became the youngest composer to be given his own publishing deal with a major publisher – EMI Music. This led to invitations for Shane to play in front of 10,000 people at Castle Howard, at a private dinner for the then Prime Minister's wife Cherie Blair and even being endorsed by royalty. And then everything stopped. Shane's mother had walked out of the family home never to be seen again (she is now in prison). This left Shane, his father Clayton and two little siblings to fend for themselves. Clayton, himself a former pro musician and teacher had to singlehandedly look after the family unit. Priority was given to Shane's education, leaving any potential musical career behind. Money was not just short, it was non-existent at times. Sometimes they were sat in the dark, without electricity. Suddenly with Shane now well into his teens, the media remembered him. The BBC set him the challenge of composing and performing a symphony for the BBC Northern Orchestra within 8 weeks and Shane completed it in half the time. He performed it in front of a disbelieving audience of several hundred and the BBC cameras. Shortly after this Channel 4 picked up on Shane's extraordinary story and produced a documentary called ‘Extraordinary Teens – Young Gifted and Broke'. So where are we now? Decca Records went on to release two singles in 2017 and his track ‘The Ruins' hit No.2 in the Classical iTunes chart. Bucks Music Group then signed him to a publishing contract in 2018 and have been building him as a composer/artist since then. 10 years on from his original publishing deal at EMI Music , he could now more accurately be grouped with the likes of Ludovico Einaudi, Nils Frahm and Hans Zimmer. What is extraordinary about Shane is that, as well as composing melodies that have such immediate ear-worms, he does so by evoking such strong emotional links and themes. His team have identified that Shane can become one of the most exciting and prolific new artists at a time when playlists are so in need of new composers of great original music.
Today we sit with Lady Val Corbett, a businesswoman who's dedicated her life's work to helping women help women. The essence, ethos and heartbeat of Lady Val's Professional Network is betterment; building the life and career you dreamed for yourself. It is the mission of all of Lady Val's endeavors: Lady Val's Professional Women's Network, The Corbett Network and The Robin Corbett Award. Lady Val is a devoted advocate for Prison reform and the rehabilitation and re-integration of returning citizens into society. All the profits from the Network's events, both digital and live, go into Lady Val's enterprises, they fundraise for work on prison reform which Lady Val understands is an investment in people who, released from prison, have served their time and need a chance to change their lives. Lady Val's Professional Women's Network lunches in central London, are attended by women who work, not ladies who lunch. Speakers have included Michael Palin, Cherie Blair, Gina Miller, Dame Stella Rimington, Jon Snow etc. This Network links like-minded businesswomen into a cohesive group for sharing contacts, experience, knowledge and to attract future business. This is a cold world and if women don't help other women, who would? The Network motto is: "There's a special place in hell for any woman who doesn't help another woman." The Robin Corbett Award funds £10,000 annually to three charities who do the most for prisoner reintegration. Unless ex-offenders are steered in the right direction after release, around 50% will re-offend within two years – that figure plummets to 19% when they have a job. Yet only 12% of firms employ people with criminal convictions who have served their time and need to change direction. This led to The Corbett Network, a coalition of over 90 decision-makers of charities, social enterprises and organizations involved in reintegration working together to persuade more firms to hire returning citizens.

Episode Summary:In this episode we meet Talimka Yordanova, the CEO of the Global Citizen Forum, who speaks with us about the concept of interconnectedness, the consequences of interrupted travelling access and the radical idea of a Global Governance. Talimka shares with us how she envisions the notion of progress by changing the way dialogues are taking place and by building on the conversation through action, subtly pushing the social criterion towards an evolution of the global mind, in order to gradually shape an indestructible homogeneous world.To what degree can a community mature?How vast is that space between the 'world of borders' and the 'borderless world'? Where do we locate ourselves within the 'local' environment?And can one be truly a Global Citizen?The Speaker:Talimka Yordanova is the CEO of the Global Citizen Forum.

Helen McCrory OBE is one of the most versatile and critically acclaimed actresses working today. On screen she has played Anna Karenina, Cherie Blair (twice), Harry Potter's Narcissa Malfoy and the Peaky Blinders matriarch Aunt Polly. Her theatre roles range from Yelena in Uncle Vanya to Euripides' Medea. A diplomat's daughter, she spent her early childhood in Africa before continuing her education in the UK. After a bruising and unsuccessful audition at the Drama Centre in London - she was instructed to find out more about life before learning to act - she travelled to Italy where she discovered art and love and came back to try again. This time she passed the audition. In 1993 she made her mark in Richard Eyre's production of Trelawny of the Wells at the National Theatre and went on to perform leading roles on some of London's most prestigious stages, winning two Olivier Award nominations. She was awarded an OBE for services to drama in 2017. She met her husband, fellow actor Damian Lewis, when they both starred in a play called Five Gold Rings. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic Helen and Damian, together with the comedian Matt Lucas, co-founded the Feed NHS campaign which raises money to provide hot meals to frontline NHS workers.

She is also a writer and podcast host and has interviewed many successful women including Cherie Blair, Melanie Whelan and Natasha Devon.So, there is really no better person to discuss 'girlboss culture'. It's had a bit of a backlash recently. Is it outdated and patronising? Or is it time we reclaimed the term to define the viewpoint of women entrepreneurs? We also discussed how Angelica built up her business, why she offers free childcare at her conference and why she's reluctant to answer specific questions, mostly from older men, about how much she earns and how many people she employs.Hayley Millhouse from OpenMoney also shares some tips on how to start your own business!LINKSRead Angelica's article about the term girlboss here:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/business/patronising-maybe-need-girl-boss-culture-ever/More info on the next She Started It Live weekend of events, with free childcare!https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shestartedit-live-2020-festival-of-female-empowerment-tickets-83535497923Contact:Twitter: @honest_account_ / @jellymalinEmail: contact@anhonestaccount.co.uk

The first question Kevin posed when he sat down with our latest high-profile guest was: is it BLAIR or BOOTH? Yes, our latest interviewee on The Hearing is former 10 Downing Street resident, barrister, lecturer and writer, as well as the founder and chair of Omnia Strategy, Cherie Blair (Booth). Kevin heads across to leafy Marylebone to sit down with Cherie, where she shares anecdotes from her life and career. Highlights include: overcoming the gender imbalance at the Bar, setting aside ambitions of becoming a High Court judge when her husband became PM, and how she dragged herself to court just 10 days after a caesarean! During their chat, Cherie's love for the law shines through. Whether it's her continued international legal and advisory work, mentoring the next generation of lawyers, or discussing Lord Derry Irvine's love for Pugin wallpaper, she maintains the same level of enthusiasm as when she started 40 years ago. And with so many future plans and so much to do, there's no sign of her slowing down. Find out more at tr.com/TheHearing

June 23 Rathinaneram Show | International Widows Day | United Nations Public Service Day International Widows Day is a United Nations ratified day of action to address the "poverty and injustice faced by millions of widows and their dependents in many countries".[1]The day takes place annually on 23 June. International Widows Day was established by The Loomba Foundation[clarification needed] to raise awareness of the issue of widowhood. The significance of 23 June is that it was on that day in 1954 that Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, mother of the foundation's founder, Lord Loomba, became a widow.[2] One of the foundation’s key goals is to highlight what it describes as an invisible calamity. A 2010 book, Invisible, Forgotten Sufferers: The Plight of Widows Around the World, estimates that there are 245 million widows worldwide, 115 million of whom live in poverty and suffer from social stigmatization and economic deprivation purely because they have lost their husbands.[3] As part of the Loomba Foundation’s awareness campaign, this study was presented to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on 22 June 2010.[4] The first International Widows Day took place in 2005 and was launched by Lord Loomba and the foundation's president, Cherie Blair.[5] By the sixth International Widows Day in 2010, events were held in Rwanda, Sri Lanka, the United States, the UK, Nepal, Syria, Kenya, India, Bangladesh and South Africa.[6]

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
Katie Hyson, Director of Thought Leadership at Business Fights Poverty interviews Helen McEachern, CEO, Cherie Blair Foundation. This week our spotlight interview meets with Helen McEachern, CEO of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women. Listen to this podcast to find out the latest developments in gender equality and what businesses can do to encourage greater women’s economic empowerment and why it’s hard to keep Cherie Blair’s attention. With over 20 years’ experience working for international NGOs including Greenpeace, ActionAid UK and ActionAid International, Helen has increasingly focused her energy on the gender agenda. On leading the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, Helen says: “We’re on a mission to change the world for women – make it more equal and economically just.” We hear Helen’s insights on important questions such as: What are men’s roles in encouraging women’s economic empowerment? How can business take action? And, what can we do when nationalistic geo-political agendas are on so many occasions moving against women’s rights? During this interview you will hear Helen’s thoughts on the future trends affecting women’s equality. Helen explores why the digital revolution and the access to information could be the greatest equaliser for women, but with 12% more men than women online; 200 million women currently excluded from mobile phone access; and predominantly men writing and creating the code behind decision making algorithms that drive the digital revolution there is a distinct risk to women’s economic empowerment if not tackled. Helen reveals what it is like working with Cherie Blair – how she has to stay on her game to keep up with the former UK Prime Minister’s wife and internationally renowned human rights barrister. And why Cherie gives such good career advice. Before wrapping with her own advice to those working on their development and impact careers: “Be open and ready to learn, try new things that aren’t necessarily in plan [and] understand what your contribution is.”

For Cherie Blair, leading barrister and QC, picking her great life was simple - her role model is Rose Heilbron, England's first woman judge. When Cherie was growing up in Liverpool, Rose Heilbron was always the name that excited her grandmother the most. Rose was a barrister and when she was arguing a case before a jury in her home city, Cherie Blair's grandmother would follow her cases avidly, sometimes from the public gallery. Then she would come back and tell young Cherie all about what had gone on. And so Heilbron became a great example of what a Liverpool girl could achieve in the law. And she had a remarkable career - first woman in silk, first to lead in a murder case, first woman treasurer of Gray's Inn. Cherie is joined in the studio by Hilary Heilbron QC , daughter and the author of the biography: 'Rose Heilbron , Legal Pioneer of the 20th century'; plus Dr John Tribe - senior lecturer in law from the University of Liverpool. The presenter is Matthew Parris and the producer is Perminder Khatkar.

Pinky Lilani, who was awarded a CBE in 2015 for services to women in business, is the founder of the annual Asian Women of Achievement Awards and the Women of the Future Awards. She also runs her own company, which uses Indian food as a means of team-building, and has published two cook books.Pinky was born in Calcutta, now Kolkata, where her parents were affluent and very sociable. They employed one of the best cooks in the city, so Pinky grew up surrounded by people and food. While she enjoyed eating, she had no experience of cooking. When she moved to London with her husband, who she married three weeks after their first meeting, she was unable to cook. After many culinary disasters, she returned to India and the kitchen in her family home, where the household cook shared his expertise. Back in the UK, she started teaching evening cookery classes which in turn led to a role consulting for one of Britain's best-known food companies, who manufacture Asian staples including chutneys, breads and curry pastes. In 2001, she published her first cookery book and set up in business to satisfy the two great loves of her life: food and people. In 1999, she founded the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and seven years later she added the Women of the Future Awards to her portfolio. Both of these have continued to be held annually, drawing high-profile support from, among others, Theresa May, Cherie Blair, the Duchess of York and the Countess of Wessex.Producer: Sarah Taylor.

It’s been a couple of years since Tesco got found out. The store that thought it could get away with whatever it wanted because customers, it said, ‘wanted its cheap prices’ was embroiled in an accounting scandal in 1994. And the problems continue. Were Tesco’s prices really cheaper? You can ask the customers it has lost to low-cost rivals Lidl and Aldi about that. It’s also losing customers to online rivals as the internet provides what the High Street can’t – 24 hour opening, among other things. Tesco is back in the news: 1. For a report that showed it deliberately and systematically mis-treated suppliers by delaying payments and manipulating the terms of its deals. 2. Perhaps bizarrely because it’s going to scrap 24 hour opening in more than 70 of its stores. 3. It’s also about to slash the pay of staff who work unsociable hours. It’s not alone. Wilko (aka Wilkinson) is also cutting double time for unsociable hours – effectively a 25% pay cut. Shops face a tough time. Jobs are at risk across the retails sector. They are at banks too. Join This is Money Editor Simon Lambert, Consumer Affairs Editor Rachel Rickard Straus and Share Radio’s Georgie Frost for an enlightening look at the future of shopping and banking.

Alternative researcher Chris Spivey joins us for another Good Vibrations and some more direct talk, on this occasion, addressing institutionalised paedophilia and sexual corruption within all levels of The British Establishment. We begin by talking about one of his blog articles which goes way beyond now-familiar names like Rolf Harris and William Roache, to examine how far sexual deviancy is entrenched within the entertainment world. This can be followed upstream into Parliament, Chris says, and all the way to the Royal Family, whose history is steeped in paedophilia and child abuse. We question how it is that so many apparent 'pillars of society' turn out to be compromised in this way, with the suggestion that corruption and the capacity for blackmail is the basis on which our current sick institutions are founded. Chris speculates that the time surely can't be far off when the veil is lifted on the whole grotesque system, and the British public is forced to overcome its denial and come to terms with the sordid truth.We finish by discussing the recent death of 'Lord' McAlpine, and the low-profile way in which it has been reported, in contrast to the loud fiasco concerning his alleged 'outing' as a paedophile. Other names discussed include Jimmy Savile, Simon Cowell, Jonathan King, Tony and Cherie Blair, Gordon and Sarah Brown, Margaret Thatcher, William Hague and Ffion, Ian Duncan Smith, Leon Brittan and Barack and Michelle Obama.
