When the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in 2021 after two decades of democratic rule, the world watched in horror. Despite initial promises that women would be able to exercise their rights within Sharia Law, the Taliban has systematically excluded women and girls from public life.In the months that have followed, the situation has only grown more desperate for Afghanistan's women, who now live under one of the most restrictive regimes in the world. They are unable to access secondary education, travel without a male relative, and even more recently have been banned from attending universities and working for aid organisations, further erasing professional and public opportunities.To keep the spotlight on this worsening crisis – which is only being compounded by economic sanctions and the near-total isolation of Afghanistan in a global context – The Global Institute for Women's Leadership hosted a conversation about women's rights under the Taliban. In this episode, you'll hear that discussion, recorded live from the event at King's College London.For this conversation, Julia sat down with Zahra Joya, journalist and founder of Rukhshana Media, an organisation that tells the stories of Afghan women globally; Christina Lamb, the Chief Foreign Correspondent for The Sunday Times; Paula Kweskin, a filmmaker and attorney specialising in international humanitarian and human rights law; and Sveto Muhammad Ishoq, a women's rights activist, TEDx speaker and social entrepreneur.

Well, the weather is starting to heat up here in Washington DC , and so is our activity at ACEC. And we wanted to give you a wrap up of what we've been working on this week and look ahead to what to expect from ACEC in the coming weeks. Now first, I want to lead off with the fact that the 2022 professional liability insurance survey of member firms is now underway and invitation links to take the survey have been sent to the primary contacts of our firm members. And the survey is only requesting the responses from AE member firms of ACEC. Only one set of responses per firm is required. If you have any questions, reach out to Charles Kim. Earlier this week, we published two updates. First being the YouTube update that Erin McLaughlin, our Vice President of private market resources does every month in 10 minutes or less giving you all the top trends and information you need on what's happening in the economy and how it impacts your business. That's available on our YouTube channel. And it's going to be linked to the show notes on this episode. Really encourage you to take a look, like and subscribe to the channel, because we do this on a monthly basis. And we also follow up with an even shorter summary on our podcast that was published a little bit earlier this week, looking at top four things you need to know about the economy and the AE industry. And of course now with inflation and CPI at record highs, it's really a good time to get your handle on everything that's happening and impacting our industry. Now, following on the theme of private markets, time is running out for you to register for our April 28th Private Market Symposium on the healthcare, science+technology market, taking place in Boston, Massachusetts. Now this is a great event that brings together engineers and practitioners within this market space to talk about the evolution of the market and ways that engineering firms could take advantage of it. And we know from the research we've done from the ACEC Research Institute that healthcare facilities, biotech, science, and technology, those are all market sectors where our industry fuels bullish now and into the next 12 months. So this is a great opportunity, not only to hear from experts, but also to share information, meet network with your peers. Space is limited and we're running out. So take the opportunity right now if you're in the Boston area or on the 95 corridor.

Now there's no better time to have your voice heard in Washington. I mean, right now we are in the implementation phase of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. No one knows the importance of getting this right like our member firm leaders. And we always talk about the speakers that we have and speakers are always a highlight of our events. And this year is no exception. We are very pleased to be welcoming Margaret Brennan - she's the moderator of, CBS' Face the Nation and their Chief Foreign Correspondent.

And then rounding out next week. Friday is Earth Day, April 22nd, and we're gonna be spending the week focusing in on how our member firms design a better world. And we're gonna be using that as our hashtag throughout the week on social media. And we're looking for examples. If you are a firm that deals in environmental work and you want a spotlight, a project that you're very proud of, that shows how we are as an industry, improving the world around us, by cleaning the air, cleaning the water, making things more resilient against climate threats or sustainable.

Since the hardline militant group recaptured the Afghan capital Kabul in August 2021, the question of how Western powers should deal with the Taliban has become one with no easy answers. The Taliban is a fundamentalist movement, whose ideology has spawned violence and terrorism both inside and outside of Afghanistan. However, the country it now governs is one in need of urgent aid, where the plights of women and minority groups abandoned in a hasty retreat by the West mean that a refusal to engage by Western powers could become a disastrous long-term foreign policy error. For this debate, we ask: should the West work with the Taliban? Our guests are Shabnam Nasimi, Policy Advisor to the Minister of Afghan Resettlement in the UK. She is also Director of Afghan Witness, a platform dedicated to Human Rights reporting from Afghanistan. Joining Shabnam is Christina Lamb OBE, Chief Foreign Correspondent for the Sunday Times, Global Fellow for the Woodrow Wilson International Center, and author of books including Farewell Kabul, and Our Bodies, Their Battlefield. Chairing the debate is journalist, investigative reporter and broadcaster, Manveen Rana. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the Curzon Film Podcast, we're joined by The Sunday Times' Chief Foreign Correspondent to talk about A Private War, and Joe Cornish drops by to tell us about his new children's fantasy epic, The Kid Who Would Be King. We start with A Private War, a biopic following the life and work of Marie Colvin, an iconic foreign correspondent who reported from some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world – from Sri Lanka to Syria and Iraq – risking her life to reveal the truth about unjust regimes and humanitarian crimes. A Private War avoids biopic cliches and instead asks troubling questions about the sacrifices made by Colvin and war reporters alike.Christina Lamb is Chief Foreign Correspondent at The Sunday Times, where Marie Colvin spent much of her career. Lamb and Colvin were colleagues and friends, and so we visited Lamb at her London office to discuss the film, the reality of life as a foreign correspondent, and her memories of Colvin.Later in the episode we discuss Joe Cornish's The Kid Who Would Be King, a modern day re-imagining of the Sword in the Stone legend. Alex is just like any other twelve year old, until he retrieves the legendary Excalibur. Paired with the wizard Merlin (inexpertly hiding himself as a 16 year old boy), he must face his destiny, marshal his friends and defeat the enchantress Morgana, all before tea time.Director Joe Cornish joins us to talk about all things fantastical, and his hopes for this highly original take on a well known classic tale.Discussing the films this week are Kelly Powell, Sam Howlett, Jake Cunningham and Steven RyderFollow the team on Social Media:@ks_powell - Kelly@jakehcunningham - Jake@irma_pep - Steven@SamHowlett_1 - SamProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.
