Dunja Bonacci-Skenderovic is an independent consultant for elimination of violence against women. In the beginning of our interview, Dunja gives us an overview of types of violence women globally are facing today (from domestic violence, rape, trafficking, to femicide), shares some statistics, and shares what we can do to prevent violence against women - not only as women, but also as mothers. Dunja also talks about her Croatian mother Tanja, a mom of three, who was a rare female professor of engineering in former Yugoslavia (now Croatia), had a drivers license when her husband didn't, always insisted on all domestic work being shared with her husband, and who faced her cancer treatment with enviable rationality and determination. Tanja teaches us about independence, about hard work and persistency, about tackling problems. But we also learn how important it is to be able to do nothing, to show emotions, to tell our children how proud we are of them, to celebrate small things in life, and to teach our daughters about their bodies and sexuality.

In a recent Ask Me Anything on Instagram, an audience member asked for a podcast on Managing a Household As An Entrepreneur. On average, women spend 2 hours more per day on household tasks than men. As more women scale successful businesses, we need to reckon with who we've been taught we "should be" in the home, and instead renegotiate the role we WANT to have at the throne in our own kingdom.

In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of American poet and spoken-word artist, Natasha Trethewey. A former US poet laureate, Trethewey is the author of five collections of poetry: Monument (2018), Thrall (2012), Native Guard (2006), Bellocq's Ophelia (2002), and Domestic Work (2000). She is also the author of a book of creative non-fiction: Beyond Katrina: A Meditation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast (2010). Source This episode includes a reading of her poem, “Imperatives for Carrying On in the Aftermath”, featured in our 2021 Get Lit Anthology.“Imperatives for Carrying On in the Aftermath”Do not hang your head or clench your fistswhen even your friend, after hearing the story,says: My mother would never put up with that. Fight the urge to rattle off statistics: that,more often, a woman who chooses to leaveis then murdered. The hundredth time your father says, But she hated violence,why would she marry a guy like that?—don't waste your breath explaining, again, how abusers wait, are patient, that theydon't beat you on the first date, sometimesnot even the first few years of a marriage. Keep an impassive face whenever you hearStand by Your Man, and let go your ragewhen you recall those words were advice given your mother. Try to forget the firsttrial, before she was dead, when the chargewas only attempted murder; don't belabor the thinking or the sentence that allowedher ex-husband's release a year later, orthe juror who said, It's a domestic issue— they should work it out themselves. Justbreathe when, after you read your poemsabout grief, a woman asks: Do you think your mother was weak for men? Learnto ignore subtext. Imagine a thought-cloud above your head, dark and heavy with the words you cannot say; let silencerain down. Remember you were toldby your famous professor, that you should write about something else, unburdenyourself of the death of your mother andjust pour your heart out in the poems. Ask yourself what's in your heart, thatreliquary—blood locket and seed-bed—andcontend with what it means, the folk-saying you learned from a Korean poet in Seoul:that one does not bury the mother's bodyin the ground but in the chest, or—like you— you carry her corpse on your back.Support the show (https://getlit.org/donate/)

It took ABC journalist Grace Jennings-Edquist being admitted to hospital with her four-month-old baby before she realised that her perfectionist, people-pleasing tendencies were making her ill. Her light bulb moment prompted her to write The Yes Woman, a book about why women are more likely to shoulder more than they should and how to say no when the impact of yes becomes too much.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on all of us. There wasn't anything in our day-to-day lives that wasn't impacted.  Adults with children faced many challenges.  They experienced, changes in their work and home lives and in the structures that provide them support. Some were impacted more than others and in different ways. The conflict between work and home had a significant impact on women in the workforce. Today we talk with Tracy's son, Dr. Daniel Carlson, about the research he and his colleagues conducted and what they learned about the impact the pandemic had on women in the workforce. Dan will also share what kinds of structural supports can provide relief.For full show notes and links, visit:https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcastIf you found value in this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!Other Resources You May Enjoy:Self-Study Opportunity:  Enrollment is open to our Self-Study Program, Caring for Others Without Neglecting YOU!  Click Here NOW to learn more and enroll!Click the title to download our free perspective paper: The 3 Biggest Mistakes Healthcare Leaders Make When Trying To Achieve Work Life BalanceIf you have questions for us email your questions to questions@missinglogic.comUpcoming Events: Ultimate Dynamic Balance Bootcamp, September 13-17, 2021The Ultimate Dynamic Balance Bootcamp is a virtual bootcamp designed to enable healthcare leaders like you to learn about and apply a proven strategy that will allow you to balance your professional and personal life, make a difference at work, and experience more joy, without feeling exhausted and overwhelmed!Click here to join the waitlist and be the first to know when the doors are open!SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/company/missinglogic-llchttps://www.facebook.com/missinglogicLLChttps://twitter.com/MissingLogicLLC

Convention No. 189 defines domestic work as work performed in or for a household or households, within an employment relationship and on an occupational basis. While progress has been made in legal coverage of domestic workers, these legal rights have not yet become a reality for most domestic workers across the globe. There remain significant decent work deficits in the areas of working time, wages and social security. South African domestic worker Florence Sosiba shares her experience representing the rights of domestic workers in her country.

Our last Slamdance Film Festival interview is with director Alberto Gerosa from his film Dea.  We had an excellent time speaking with Alberto about his film which dives into the world of domestic help in Hong Kong.  His approach was unique as he immersed himself with the workers and then the script evolved out of a 9 month  acting improv laboratory with the group of Indonesian domestic workers, who have also been victims of domestic violence while working in Hong Kong.  They shared their stories which helped craft the story of the title character Dea. The migrant workers who are convinced to go to Hong Kong to work are taken advantage of and can not do any other work when they get to HK because of their work visa.

The Covid-19 has thrown into sharp relief, just how vital the work of ‘key workers’ or ‘essential workers’ is for our lives and survival. Among those workers are domestic workers, who are disproportionately female migrants and women of color. These workers, who have long been underpaid, overworked, and under-resourced, have suddenly become visible and seen as essential. What narratives about domestic workers have circulated during the Covid-19 pandemic? What can we learn from them to maintain and foster the visibility, recognition, and valuation of domestic workers after the pandemic? How can we change the narrative about domestic work to support and value the 68 million workers worldwide? And how can new stories about domestic work be mobilized to garner public and political support? The panel brings Dr. Maïmonatou Mar (Gribouilli, France) and Shani Orgad, Professor of Media and Communications at the LSE, to share their reflections on these questions and discuss the importance of changing the narrative about domestic work. SPEAKERSCarlotta Gradin is the Vice President of Advocacy for UN Women France. She holds a Master in International Administration from the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne and is also a graduate of Sciences Po Strasbourg. Currently, she pursues a thesis on the European and International legal framework for the prevention and the penalty of cyberviolence at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. Carlotta is a legal expert, researcher, and lecturer on legal issues regarding human rights, gender equality, and discrimination. She worked for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in Rome and the High Council for Gender Equality in Paris.  Maïmonatou Mar, Ph.D., is the co-founder of Gribouilli, the French social venture empowering domestic workers. Gribouilli launched the first community for nannies in Paris. They are key workers but invisible: mainly middle-aged women with migration backgrounds who suffered from isolation and the digital divide. Nearly a thousand nannies benefit from information, P2P learning, basic learning, and soft skills class for their economic inclusion and decent work access. Gribouilli offers leadership programs through an Ambassador program for nannies. Ambassadors of Gribouilli, therefore, collaborate with public-private partners to improve public policies. They also develop a coop with more inclusive and accessible commercial services to the benefit of the families. Gribouilli is a 3yr multi-award winning organization (Prizes from Paris City, the Foundations JL Lagardère and Deloitte...). Maïmonatou is an A. de Rothschild Fellow, CXC/Ashoka Fellow, and a 2020 Paris Talent. Professor Shani Orgad is a Professor of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Her research and teaching focus on media representations, gender, care, and inequality. She is the author of numerous articles and four books, including her most recent book, Heading Home: Motherhood, Work and the Failed Promise of Equality (2019, Columbia University Press), which examines the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women’s experience of continued injustice. Orgad has won numerous awards, including the 2019 LSE Teaching Excellence Prize, the Sociological Research Online SAGE Prize for Innovation and Excellence (with Rosalind Gill), the 2018 LSE Excellence in Education award, and the LSE Innovator Award. Orgad is the Director of the social sciences program of the Ariane de Rothschild Fellowship.

The rise of the gig economy and its digital mediation has led to various online platforms for workers. Some such platforms are targeted towards domestic workers. In India, domestic workers are mostly women from marginalised castes and classes, forming an invisible backbone of the care economy. With the advent of online platforms, what happens to these structural inequalities? Situating the lived realities of domestic workers, today’s episode focuses on the challenges that they are facing while navigating digital platforms. In conversation with Ambika Tandon and Parijatha G.P., we discuss how digital platforms are affecting the ability of domestic workers to find work, to unionise and negotiate with employers, and to ensure social protection and a life of dignity. We also discuss how COVID-19 has impacted this scenario and some recommendations for enacting change.

Domestic workers—those that are employed in our homes to care for children, elderly and the disabled as well as perform a variety of other duties, such as cooking and cleaning—are critical to our economy, our society and our families' well-being. Yet many domestic workers are paid little, receive no employee benefits, and may work in an environment with other challenges that can affect their health and safety. At this event, panelists from academia, advocacy, organizing and philanthropy discuss the experiences of domestic workers and ideas and policies for improving their work. This event features Judy Patrick (President and CEO, The Women's Foundation of California), Ai-jen Poo (Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance), Mary Romero (Professor of Justice Studies and Social Inquiry, Arizona State University), Barbara Young (National Organizer and former domestic worker, National Domestic Workers Alliance), and moderator Jennifer Ludden (Correspondent, National Desk, National Public Radio).
