Podcasts about discrimination against women

Anlässlich des Internationalen Frauentages am 8. März, der in diesem Jahr zum 50. Mal begangen wurde, war Elke Ferner im Podcast „Menschenrechte: nachgefragt“ zu Gast. Sie ist Vorstandsmitglied des Deutschen Frauenrats und dort zuständig für Strukturen der nationalen Gleichstellungspolitik und für die UN-Frauenrechtskonvention (CEDAW; „Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women“). Elke Ferner war über mehrere Legislaturen Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestages und von 2013 bis 2018 Parlamentarische Staatssekretärin im Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend. In der CEDAW-Allianz Deutschland engagieren sich 35 zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen für die Umsetzung der UN-Frauenrechtskonvention CEDAW in Deutschland. Die CEDAW hat sich auf die Fahnen geschrieben, die Diskriminierung von Frauen in allen Lebensbereichen zu beseitigen. Hierzulande ist sie noch wenig bekannt – und das, obwohl die Themen, die es anzupacken gilt, so zahlreich sind: von Gender Gap bis zu geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt. Hört rein in eine neue spannende Folge – überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

Was ist eigentlich CEDAW?1979, also vor bald 46 Jahren, verabschiedete die Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen CEDAW. Das ist kurz für „Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women“.Wusstet ihr, dass die Konvention in Deutschland bereits geltendes Recht ist? Und dass sowohl Gerichte, als auch Ämter und Behörden dieses Recht immer wieder brechen? Laut der Konvention hättet ihr zum Beispiel ein Recht auf sichere Schwangerschaftsabbrüche. Und auch der Schutz von Frauen vor Gewalt ist ein zentraler Bestandteil. Genau diese Themen schauen wir uns heute genauer an.Im Backlash wichtiger denn jeSeit 45 Jahren gibt es die Konvention bereits, damals war die Welt in manchen Teilen eine andere – doch der große, weltweite Backlash führt dazu, dass wir um bereits erkämpfte Fortschritte bangen müssen. In den 45 Jahren hat sich die Konvention selbst auch weiter entwickelt, sie ist intersektionaler geworden und hat einen breiteren Begriff von Geschlecht entwickelt.Katrin spricht in dieser Sendung mit Laura Gay von der CEDAW Allianz, Idil Gogos von DaMigra, Katharina, Rohmert von Pro Familia, Elisabeth Ávila González vom Bundesverband der Frauenberatungsstellen und Frauennotrufe (BFF), und mit Britta Schlichting von der Zentralen Informationsstelle Autonomer Frauenhäuser (ZIF). Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie CEDAW dazu beitragen kann, die Rechte von Frauen und Mädchen zu fördern und Diskriminierung aktiv zu bekämpfen.Denn: CEDAW mit Leben zu füllen, würde ein gerechteres und besseres Leben in Deutschland für alle Frauen, Mädchen, Inter und Trans bedeuten. Um das zu schaffen, ist es wichtig, dass wir alle unsere Rechte kennen – einen Beitrag dazu versuchen wir, mit unserem Podcast zu leisten.

In this fortnight's episode, Gyles and Aphra Brandreth meet Marion Bethel, an esteemed Bahamian poet and attorney. Bethel, renowned for her award-winning poetry collections like "Guanahani, My Love" and "Bougainvillea Ringplay," shares insights into her life, inspirations, and the vibrant cultural landscape of the Bahamas. As she delves into her poetic journey, listeners gain a deeper understanding of her contributions to gender and development in the Caribbean, highlighted by her documentary "Womanish Ways," and her role in international advocacy, serving on the UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Poems this episode include: Tobacco Dove; Bougainvillaea Ringplay; and We Were Terrestrial Once, Maybe, all by Marion Bethel

“I knew right away that sexual violence was part of the events of October 7, but obviously, I could not have known the extent of the cruelty that Hamas engaged in,” says Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, who served for 12 years on the UN Committee on Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. Halperin-Kaddari now feels “completely betrayed” by the international women's rights organizations with whom she's worked for years, for their failure to condemn - or even recognize - the rape, kidnapping and other atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens on October 7. In conversation with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Halperin-Kaddari, a member of the newly-formed Civil Commission on Hamas's Oct. 7th Crimes Against Women and director of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women at Bar-Ilan University, explains that “unlike any previous incidents of 'conflict related sexual violence,' as the UN calls it, the Hamas terrorists had body camera and they filmed their actions. They broadcasted it both to the families of the victims and on social media, so the horrific footage emerged right away.” Also on the podcast, domestic violence advocate Lili Ben Ami, founder of the Michal Sela Forum, expresses her deep concern over the dramatic expansion of the ability of Israelis to obtain personal weapons in a campaign initiated by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Her organization, she says, “is now receiving calls every day from worried women and domestic violence survivors” that their abusers will now get access to a firearm. When her group looked into the matter, she tells Haaretz Weekly, they found that the distribution plan did not contain a screening mechanism that would prevent men with a criminal record related to domestic violence from obtaining a gun.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Champion collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines Barker joined Moms for America for an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in early March. Riley is a 12-time, NCAA All-American swimmer. In her senior year at the University of Kentucky, Riley was poised to be ranked either first or second in the nation. Then, an unknown swimmer appeared in first place. Lia Thomas, formerly Will Thomas, went from a no-name male athlete to the top of the female field. Female athletes who were upset were told they were in the wrong, but Riley refused to stay silent. She continues to speak out, even facing violent attack. This courageous young woman has an important perspective to share.

Unwed mothers and their children are ostracized by society and stigmatized by their own families. Many women and children end up in desperate situations. But a growing number of people are trying to end this dire situation, both in courts and in society as a whole. Many young people say its time for change. But there's still a long way to go.

Change happens slowly in Japan.  Getting more women into leadership positions requires a lot of other moving parts to kick in.  One of them is changing the mindset of male line managers regarding who to select to go to company training.   Discrimination against women in business in Japan takes many forms.  Previous Pime Minister Abe talked about targets for women in leadership positions in companies but not much has changed.  In fact, he significantly lowered the targets after barely getting started on the campaign.  I am a Rotarian in Japan and it is male bastion still.  Rotary is a vast international organisation with the purpose of connecting diverse professions together, to build better networks and to contribute to the community.   In Japan, the majority of rotary clubs do not have women members.  My own was the same until a few years ago.  Every year since I joined in 2002, we have had internal debates about accepting females into our club.  The “no women” faction basically aged and passed on.    Of course, there were no regulations stating that women could not join, but the reality was women could never pass the selection protocol because of their gender.  Happily that era has now passed and we now have some female members.    Who are these men in Rotary.  They are businessmen ranging from small local business owners to the mightiest captains of industry.  My club is full of the latter.  In Japan, Rotary just adds another layer to those male connections built up at school and University.   Rotary around the world continues to grow in memberships but not in Japan. Up until 2000, Japan was leading the world in recruiting new members and since then has spiraled down.  Since opening the doors up to women in business, it has finally begun to turn around.   Facing a steadily declining membership, did the captains of industry embrace the reality and accept women to stem the haemorrhaging of the numbers.  No, they hung in there as long as possible to avoid it.   I feel that we are finally getting somewhere in Japanese business.  My club is very large, rich, conservative, powerful and the average age of our members is around 70.  If even my club members could finally accept the requirement to have women, then this reflects broader social change and the better acceptance of women in business in Japan.  These guys are running Japan's biggest corporations, so one hopes that progress here means there will be progress inside their companies.   Today, we see our corporate training classes composed of about 70% men and 30% women.  Where are the rest of the women?  They are not selected for training, because their company's Middle Management team is still basically a male only club.  How can we get women into leadership positions if we don't train them so that they can rise through the company hierarchy?  The classes should be 50/50 to reflect the population at large.   There are lot's of diversity trainings going on, but for the most part the wrong people are being focused on.  Of course, giving women more training is a great idea, but we need to train their male bosses as well.  Whenever we discuss diversity training with Japanese clients, they are wholly focused on up-skilling the women employees.  When we suggest that is fine, but a more holistic solution means bringing the men into the picture and better educating them about how to lead their women staff, we find we are still plumbing a new idea here.  Leading and managing are different - managing means supervising the processes within the company.  Leading means setting the strategy, supervising the processes within the company and it means building the people.  “People” here includes women.  Leadership in Japan needs men to think in these terms, because, like my Rotary Club, long term decline is guaranteed unless changes are made.    We won't see women meeting the Japanese Government's original leadership target, unless we get the male bosses to change first.   We can skill up the women as much as we like, but their male bosses are the ones who recommend them for promotion, increased responsibilities and training.  Like my Rotary, there are no regulations preventing women from being considered, but magically the male staff get the nod more often than the women when deciding who to invest in.   We are literally running out of young people, we are an aging society, we need women to be actively involved in business. Let's start with male Middle Management and bring forth the changes Japan business needs in order for the country to continue to succeed in the future.

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's topic may be difficult for some listeners - we will be talking about violence against women, including all kinds of physical and sexual violence. The essential text we are discussing is the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, given at the United Nations in 1993, and we are including it in this history-based project on systemic patriarchy because throughout history, violence against women and particularly domestic abuse was seen as a private matter, sometimes in some places, even endorsed by the state. But even when not promoted, patriarchal institutions have condoned or disregarded violence against women, looking the other way and failing to protect victims and survivors, and instead protecting the perpetrators of that violence. Even the United Nations' Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW, in 1979 (and listeners should look that up if you haven't heard of it), neglected to address violence against women. So in 1993, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted this resolution, the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and we'll be sharing passages from it today. It's an incredibly important declaration, and in addition we will be sharing important, difficult stories that require a lot of strength. My reading partners and I went over this content in a very detailed way beforehand so that they could choose what they wanted to talk about, and I'm really honored and grateful for this amazing mother-daughter team, Elena and Abigail Gonzalez, who are with me today to discuss this issue!    Hi, Elena and Abigail!   Elena/Abby: Hi, Amy!   Amy: Our family met Elena and Abigail in California in 2006, and we have been dear friends ever since. Occasionally in my life I have had a feeling, right when I met someone, that I knew them already, which in my religious tradition we explain with the belief that all human beings lived together as siblings in one family before we were born. Elena, I had that feeling really strongly when I met you, like “oh, I know you,” like I remembered you.  That's only happened a handful of times in my life, and I'm so grateful that we are friends. And Abigail, we have known and loved you since you were little, and I'm so grateful that you agreed to be here and have this important discussion today!   Abby: Response   Amy: So I'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about yourselves and tell your story. Elena, why don't you go first.           Elena: My name is Elena Gonzalez. I was born in Mexico, and I grew up with seven siblings, three sisters and three brothers. It was a family that was really dysfunctional. Unfortunately, ever since I can remember, I have suffered abuse….[pause] of every type. My mom and dad were completely oblivious to everything going on… my siblings and I were pretty much on our own. My parents eventually separated, and I remained alone with two older brothers, so at that point I was the youngest. As time passed the abuses continued… from cousins, my brother - my own brother - [pause]... step-fathers, when my mom brought us with her to their houses.    As I grew up I never went to school. I wanted to go to school, so finally I started when I was ten years old, and I attended until I finished my first year of high school in Mexico. Then I came to the United States. Like so many people I immigrated to the United States without any documents. It was really difficult and I arrived here with my mom and one brother and one sister. Once I arrived here they didn't put me in school; instead they took me to work, and I have been working ever since.    After awhile I met the man who is the father of my three children. (pause) Unfortunately it was an experience that went on for 15 years and was really really difficult. At the...

I noticed #HerGameToo trending on Twitter, and saw their video too. It made me think (coupled with what happened at the Euros final), what is it like for Women fans in Football Thought provoking, both inspiring and shocking in equal measures, I love the work Caz and the girls are doing, and the growing support from professionals in the game.  I have an 8 year old daughter who loves footy, and if she was subjected to this, I would go mad.  Thanks to our Partners; Dragon Signs, Heatforce, Nathaniel Cars, LT Scaffold and Tiny Rebel Brewery

Women make up a little more than half the population, but account for less than a quarter of on-course golfers. Golf's history of exclusion is to blame, and it manifests itself in ways that are obvious and subtle. Episode 4 of the Lying Four podcast examines golf's culture of discrimination against women from four different perspectives: Karen Crouse of The New York Times, architect and former ASGCA president Jan Bel Jan, the women of Grueter Golf, and Craig Annis of the USGA.

Economics and STEM are fields that have historically lacked in progress when it comes to diversity. In this week’s episode of Everyday Ubuntu, Mungi Ngomane speaks with Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman about being the strong voice that was needed in a field with few women who look like her. The Sadie Collective, co-founded by Anna, is the first non-profit addressing the pipeline and pathway problem for Black women in economics, finance, data science, and public policy. Aside from The Sadie Project, Anna is a researcher and author (her two books are to be released in 2022 and 2023). She is an activist and science communicator who describes herself as a lifelong learner, reminding us all to remain humble and grounded. In 2020, she became the youngest recipient of the CEDAW Women's Rights Award by the UN Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women, previously awarded to Madam Vice President, Kamala Harris, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Her work and passion are bringing about true change by demystifying economics and STEM fields for Black girls and representing Black experiences and voices to bring about structural progress.……..Visit mungingomane.coFollow Mungi on InstagramFollow The Brand is Female on Instagram

Today we talk to former senator Natasha Stott Despoja about her appointment to a top United Nations role and ending discrimination against women. In January, Natasha starts her four-year term as one of 23 independent experts monitoring the effects of countries around the world to improve gender equality. In this interview, she tells us how the need to protect women's rights is even greater in the wake of coronavirus, and how she keenly feels her responsibility in her new role as the only expert on the committee from the Oceania region. After Natasha's interview, we are joined by Professor Susan Harris Rimmer, who tells us how significant it is that Natasha was chosen as the first Australian in 28 years to join the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. This interview coincides with the international campaign of 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LLN (11/16/20) – A trucking terminal has been accused of discrimination for not hiring a female truck driver in more than 30 years. We’ll talk with some experts about the case and the bigger issue: discrimination against women in the industry. Also, hiring on a driver might make good business sense in the moment, but there are plenty of things to keep in mind before you do – including the long-lasting effects a hired driver can have on your insurance rates. And now that we have a lame duck Congress, what are they working on, and how could it affect your life and business? 0:00 – Newscast. 10:13 – Discrimination against women. 25:06 – Hiring drivers and your insurance. 40:04 – What’s a lame duck to do?

Dr. D. Dhanuraj, the chairman of the Center for Public Policy Research in India (CPPR) discusses the institutionalized discrimination against women that is a direct product of the Kerala Shops & Establishments Act in Kerala, India. CPPR worked tirelessly with the communist-led government of Kerala to implement significant policy reforms that allow women more freedom in the market. CPPR’s policy prescriptions dismantled discriminatory measures in the Kerala Shops & Establishment Act by providing an amendment that allows shops to remain open all hours of the week, introduces shifts for employees, allows women to work beyond the previously described hours of 6am-7pm, and establishes an online business registration platform that will allow businesses to act more freely in the market.Register for Liberty Forum & Freedom Dinner 2020

What does it take to be a leader in the face of enormous flux, where disruptive change is not an endpoint, but the new daily norm? And what drives leadership ambition in some women and not others? Well, if you're Trish Bergin, a talented economist and seasoned leader in both the public and private sectors, it's all about strategic power. Not a quest to own it, but to understand how best to use it in order to shift attitudes, behaviours and ultimately reshape public policy.Trish is co-Director of the 50/50 by 2030 Foundation, at the Faculty of Business, Government and Law, University of Canberra. As a passionate gender equality and diversity advocate Trish faced perhaps her toughest assignment ever back in 2018, when as Head of the Office for Women, at the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, she was required to defend the Australian government's failure to meet its gender equity obligations under CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. With her heart pulling in one direction and her head in another, Trish endured a six-hour public UN Committee interrogation in Geneva.In this 6th episode of BroadTalk, with its focus on ‘new leadership' and an emerging feminised style of leadership that is proving more effective in times of crisis, such as the current global pandemic, we unpack leadership traits and styles. And in a surprisingly personal account Trish also shares her own backstory of hardship, poverty and the lessons learned from adversity. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode Lauren and Tara discuss why climate change is not a gender-neutral issue, and talk about the importance of General Recommendation 37 of the Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women, also known as CEDAW.

"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta Scott King In April 2019 Commissioner Levine Cava announced she was running for Mayor of Miami-Dade County. Deeply concerned by the prosperity gap, threat of sea level rise, and widespread distrust in County government, she set out to be #AMayorWhoCares about these and many other pressing issues facing our County. Her vision focuses on building efficient and effective county-wide transit, solving the affordability crisis, bringing quality jobs, addressing gun violence in our communities, preparing for sea level rise, and improving residents’ quality of life. As #AMayorWhoCares, Commissioner Levine Cava is committed to creating a County government that works for all. Daniella Levine Cava has been a tireless advocate for South Florida residents and communities for almost 40 years. She came to South Florida in 1980 and finished her last year of law school at University of Miami, to join her husband, Dr. Robert Cava, a Miami native. Daniella and Robert raised two children, Eliza and Edward, in Miami-Dade. After a decade of work as an attorney with Legal Services of Greater Miami and the Guardian Ad Litem program, in 1996 Commissioner Levine Cava founded the Human Services Coalition, now known as Catalyst Miami. Catalyst empowers low- and moderate-income families with the tools necessary to lift them out of poverty. Since her historic victory in 2014, Commissioner Levine Cava has put her experience and passion to work as a powerful voice on the County Commission for a range of quality of life, accountability, economic and environmental concerns. She has championed women’s issues by taking the bold step to pass legislation that made Miami-Dade County the first County in the United States to sign on to the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. As a result of the legislation, the County has adopted several polices to ensure equal pay and equity for women in County contracting and County hiring.

The theme for 2018 is, "Nevertheless She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight For All Forms of Discrimination Against Women." This week Vernon honors Carla Decker, President/CEO of DC Federal Credit Union. Carla Decker joined District Government Employees (DC) Federal Credit Union as President/CEO in 2001.

Under her leadership, DGEFCU attained the designations of Low Income Credit Union and Community Development Financial Institution. Prior to joining DGEFCU, Carla held various financial and operational management posts in tenures with PAHO/WHO Federal Credit Union and Transportation Federal Credit Union.

We've never been a group of journalists to shy away from topics that might make you uneasy. This week on US-UN Report Tom Osborne, David Kanervo, Ken McCaleb and Mary Saliba tackle Discrimination Against Women. We don't pretend to know how to solve this problem, but we offer up some interesting facts and anecdotes. Be sure to listen to the segment on a Matriarchal society where women rule and roles are completely reversed. From Asia and Africa to the United States and UN headquarters in New York, we ask, what's with our country?

In the early 1970s, Madeline Carvalho Lanciani traveled from suburban Dayton, Ohio to New York City as a young woman with dreams of being an opera singer. After many twists and turns in life, she now owns the famous Duane Park Patisserie in the fashionable Tribeca District. She is famous for her baking, her creativity and for her tenacity. March is National Women’s History Month and the theme this year is NEVERTHELESS SHE PERSISTED: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Madeline is truly a study in persistence and the embodiment of this theme. Early in her New York life, singing jobs became scare. Besides having a day job, Madeline started baking at home to help pay her bills. She sold her goods in local Greenwich Village shops. Soon, she decided to put singing on the shelf and instead, she followed her passion of baking and cooking full-time. She attended a local culinary school where she was the only woman student. After graduation, when she had to look for a job she ran into the stone wall of sexual discrimination. No one in the NYC food industry would hire a woman. However, Madeline’s tenacity and resilience persisted and she talked herself into a job at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. She worked free for five months to prove herself. When eventually hired, she was the only woman in the kitchen of 99 men. Her story there was one of travails and triumph. After on-the-job hazing, abuse and discrimination in the kitchen, she persisted and rose to be the chef at one of the Plaza’s top restaurants. She and her first husband then started their own bakery in Greenwich Village but the business outlasted the marriage. They got divorced and both remarried. Madeline’s second marriage produced her two children but it was a tough marriage for her. In various ways, it was an emotionally destructive marriage for Madeline. Eventually, she divorced her second husband and was essentially a broke single mom of a six year old and a three year old. Undeterred, Madeline found an empty warehouse in the Tribeca District of the city. She borrowed money, renovated it and started her own Patisserie. Today, her shop is one of the top in all of New York City. She is known for her superior quality and creativity. Madeline paved the way for women in her field while suffering multiple levels of abuse in the workplace and emotional turmoil at home. She is truly an example of persistence and grit.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sent a letter to the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) alleging discrimination. While the NCWA had 10 days to legally respond to the allegations, the ACLU went on a media assault, pushing out video content and share campaigns aimed at pushing the agenda to the masses. There's one (or more than one) problem, the NCWA is the only organization that offers college teams, albeit mostly student-run clubs, to compete in both men's and women's divisions. That isn't good enough for one Michigan native, so the ACLU pounced, labeling itself a champion for women's wrestling. On Episode 361, three women's wrestlers come to the table to talk about the problems with the ACLU narrative, explaining the depth of the current women's wrestling opportunities around the country and what is being done by all factions of wrestling to support the growth of women's teams -- all things the ACLU left out of its marketing push. Joining the show is Short Time regular and King University assistant coach Julia Salata, former Oklahoma City wrestler Shelby Morrison and former U.S. women's national team member and Menlo College alum Katherine Shai (formerly Fulp-Allen). The discussion explains the structure of how girls can wrestle in college -- with schools that actually have college wrestling teams. For first-time listeners looking for facts and scenarios ignored by the ACLU media push, you've come to the right place. Want to hear what the lion's share of how women's wrestlers feel about this? Your ears await. JOIN THE TEAM And if you're a fan of the extensive and broad-based reach of the shows on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, become a TEAM MEMBER today.

The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is an international treaty adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly. Described as an international bill of rights for women, it was instituted on 3 September 1981 and has been ratified by 189 states. Over fifty countries that have ratified the Convention have done so subject to certain declarations, reservations, and objections, including 38 countries who rejected the enforcement article 29, which addresses means of settlement for disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the Convention. Australia's declaration noted the limitations on central government power resulting from its federal constitutional system. The United States and Palau have signed, but not ratified the treaty. The Holy See, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and Tonga are not signatories to CEDAW.

Alice Kitchen is back for a second week and joins us, along with Karenbeth Zacharias, head of St. Mary University’s Global Studies program, to discuss the UN Convention to Eliminate […] The post Eliminate Discrimination Against Women appeared first on KKFI.
