This week, Monika steps back from the noise of partisan debates to ask: how is India really doing? It's a difficult question to answer amid competing political narratives, but the data tells a story of steady progress. India is still the world's fastest-growing major economy, with GDP set to grow at 6.5% this year. Per capita income has risen at 7.6% annually over two decades, and poverty has fallen sharply—from 27% in 2011 to just over 5% in 2022. That's nearly 270 million people lifted out of poverty. This has also helped reduce inequality, with India's Gini coefficient improving steadily. At the core is India's growth-plus-redistribution model, where welfare spending and rising incomes have worked together. Better nutrition and improved consumption among the poorest households are signs of a broader shift.While macro indicators are strong—low inflation, a cleaned-up banking system, and fiscal discipline—there are still structural hurdles. Judicial delays, corruption, regulatory overreach, and burdensome compliance rules raise costs and hold back investment. More than 26,000 legal provisions carry jail terms for minor infractions. These frictions act as invisible brakes on growth. But the overall direction is positive. India has come a long way from the deprivation of the 1990s. The poverty-to-prosperity journey is ongoing, and the report card today shows a solid B+.In listener questions, Ahalya asks whether Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana or mutual funds are better for her daughter's long-term future. Riya from Navi Mumbai wonders if she should exit her old LIC policies and shift to mutual funds. Tarun asks if EPF and PPF count as debt in his asset allocation and how to redeploy maturing PPF amounts.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) India's Report Card: Growth, Poverty, and Inequality(00:00 – 00:00) The Persistent Roadblocks to India's Progress(00:00 – 00:00) Investment Options for a Girl Child's Future (00:00 – 00:00) Should I Exit My LIC Policies and Shift to Mutual Funds?(00:00 – 00:00) Is My SIP Telling the Right Story for My Financial Goals?

Most of all, with everything going on in Australia and around the world, we call on you to be kind to one another.Stories included this week:‘We want more female-led billion dollar startups': Robyn Denholm and Carol Schwartz back female-led VC‘Tight hugs, teary screams': Cheng Lei released from three-year detainment in ChinaPeace activist feared abducted, as Gaza conflict enters its fifth dayThe climate crisis is an emergency for girls' rights globallyShocking statistics from Plan International confirm long road ahead for gender equalityWorld Mental Health Day: financial stress one of the main triggers of poor mental health for Australian womenThe Crux is produced by Agenda Media, the 100% women founded and owned media business, publishing the daily news publication Women's Agenda.

We heard reports last night from Israel that a massacre had taken place at the weekend in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Women and children were among the dead and we were told that beheadings had happened too. A group of journalists were taken to the scene by Israeli soldiers. Emma is joined by Bel Trew, Chief International Correspondent for the Independent, who was one of the journalists. And, focusing on women's lives in the region, Emma speaks to Adele Raemer, who survived an attack on her home, and we hear extracts from journalist Plestia Alaqad in Gaza, who sent her audio diary to the BBC. Dr Katalin Kariko's work has had a major impact on people's lives around the world. She tells Emma how the mRNA technology she was working on for decades helped the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech covid vaccines come to be. Now Dr Kariko has been awarded a Nobel Prize. She's a biochemist, Professor at the University of Szeged in Hungary and along with her colleague Professor Drew Weissman, who is at the University of Pennsylvania, she won the prize for the category of Physiology or Medicine. It's one of the things we're most embarrassed to talk about – pain when having sex. This is something that Professor Katy Vincent, academic gynaecologist, and Dr Lydia Coxon, researcher in Pain in Women, are hoping to change. They join Emma alongside BBC presenter Sophie Law to talk about an open panel they held to try and get women to talk about their pelvic pain, and address the taboo around talking about periods, sex and women's pelvic health. Since 2011, October 11 has been declared by the UN as International Day of the Girl Child to recognise girls' rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. This year Women of the World (WOW) Festival has launched the Young Leaders Directory, inspiring activists from across the world campaigning on topics such as education, period poverty and climate justice. Emma is joined by two young women, Marwa Shinwari from Afghanistan and Ain Husniza from Malaysia to discuss their passions and hopes for the future. Presented by Emma Barnett Producer: Louise Corley

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ In this episode of Hearts of Gold, we hear from Himani, who shares her Girl Scout Gold Award project called "Project Save the Girl Child." Himani's project aims to raise awareness about the issue of female gendercide, which is the preference for a male child over a female child in patriarchal societies. She educates people about the consequences of this issue through gendercide awareness seminars and distributing brochures in India. Himani also partners with an organization called the Invisible Girl Project to rescue girls who are at high risk of being victims of female gendercide in India. Tune in to learn more about this important project and its impact. More about Himani: Himani Kalra is a Gold Award Girl Scout from Atlanta. Her project "Save the Girl Child" worked to raise awareness of female gendercide and promote gender equality through education and healthcare for underprivileged girls in Georgia and India. Himani partnered with over 40 global organizations to promote girl empowerment and is the Youth Brand Ambassador for the Invisible Girl Project working to end gendercide in India. She designed a science curriculum to empower refugee girls in Clarkston for future STEM careers, and has fundraised enough to set up five village schools with the Ekal Foundation and donated 36,000 books and educational supplies for girls in the Delhi slum districts. Himani was a Girl Scout Council Young Woman of Distinction and National Gold Award Scholarship recipient. She has been recognized as a Prudential Spirit of Community Distinguished Finalist, an honoree of the George W Bush Point of Light Awards, and is a two-time recipient of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. Outside of Girl Scouts, Himani is a nationally ranked fencer, Kathak classical dancer, bassoon player, and avid travel enthusiast. Links: Website: https://www.savethegirlchild.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Save-The-Girl-Child/100064826106012/ Key takeaways from the episode: Take Charge of Your Passion: Himani's project, Project Save the Girl Child, was inspired by her personal experiences and passion for addressing the issue of female gender side. Her advice to other Girl Scouts is to identify a cause or passion they are interested in and see how far they can take it. The Gold Award provides a platform to make a difference and learn valuable skills along the way. Overcoming Challenges: Himani faced challenges in tackling a culturally and politically sensitive topic as a high school student. She had to educate people about an issue that many were unaware of or reluctant to discuss. However, she persevered and found ways to raise awareness and make connections with organizations and individuals who could support her cause. The Power of Connection: Himani's experience at Camp CEO taught her the importance of finding connections with others, regardless of age or professional background. She realized that meaningful conversations and relationships can be formed in unexpected places, and these connections can lead to new opportunities and growth. Empowering Girls through Education: Himani's project aimed to empower girls through education and healthcare, challenging the mindset that devalues girls in certain societies. By providing girls with equal access to education and healthcare, their potential can be recognized and society can be transformed. This takeaway highlights the importance of investing in girls' education and breaking down gender barriers to create a more equitable future. The issue of female gendercide is a serious problem in many Asian countries, where there is a preference for male children over female children. Himani's project, "Project Save the Girl Child," aims to raise awareness about this issue and its consequences on societies and populations. Himani's project was inspired by personal experiences, including being the second daughter in an Asian household and witnessing gender inequalities during her visits to India. She also drew inspiration from her grandmother, who was a doctor and emphasized the importance of education and support for her daughters. Himani's project has continued to grow even after her Gold Award project, and she plans to expand it further in New York City. Share this show with your friends on Twitter.

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." | Frederick DouglassMotherhood is a hood not all get to permanently reside in, but all have to pass through on their journey to adulthood. In this episode, we speak with Skhoe, a mother of over 21 years who has been mothering her two children in the diaspora. From Thailand to Swaziland, Washington D.C. to Switzerland. We try to glean from Skhoe the many lessons she has learnt on her motherhood journey; discuss the questions one has when parenting or thinking of parenting; and take a moment to reflect on what success as a parent looks like. As African women in the diaspora, we recognise that the community and support typical of raising children in Zimbabwe is not afforded to us as easily, whilst also recognising that parenting needs to be done a little differently in order to survive.What are some of your lessons from mothering or being mothered?Keep up with SkhoeInstagram: @skhoemaphosaTwitter: @skhoe1  We'd love to hear from you!

NUGGET CONTEXT Manjari speaks about what it takes to raise an independent girl child. We specifically touch upon the notion of ensuring that the girl makes choices that make her financially independent which in turn gives her agency.  GUEST Manjari Jauhar is Bihar's first IPS officer and one of the first five IPS officer in India (Kiran Bedi being the first).  After an unexpected turn of events upended the homemaker role her parents had planned for her, Manjari Jaruhar overcame extraordinary odds to become the first woman from Bihar to join the country's elite police cadre. Her journey is a masterclass in courage, resilience and leadership by a woman who broke new ground and thrived despite being viewed with disbelief and derision by her colleagues. She has recently authored the book - Madam Sir, which captures her journey against several odds. It is a stirring account of a sheltered girl's rise to the top echelons of the Indian Police Service. Set against the backdrop of significant events such as the Bhagalpur blindings, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Lalu Prasad's reign in Bihar, “Madam Sir” is an inside look into the IPS through a woman's eyes. In our conversation we spoke about her childhood, her challenges in her first marriage and how she picked herself up and “took charge” of her personal and professional life. We also speak about the many glass ceilings that she had to break as one of the first few Police Officers in the country.  Published in Nov 2022.  HOST Deepak is a Leadership Advisor and an Executive Coach.

In the United States, there is much ongoing discussion around a leaked draft opinion by the US supreme court that reveals that the landmark Roe V Wade judgment, which protected abortion rights in the country, is likely to be overturned.This discussion has gone beyond the powers of the judiciary in the US and has been centred around women's rights and the importance of safe and legal abortions. Such a discussion needs to be global, even in countries where abortion is not as contentious an issue. Such as India, where despite abortion being legal since 1971, the state of women's reproductive rights is far from ideal.Priyal Lyncia D' Almeida, Aarushi Kataria and Atish Padhy discuss the state of abortion access and policy in India.The episode references the following articles and studies:A Womb of One's Own: Privacy and Reproductive RightsIndia's amended abortion law still gives doctors, not women, the final say in terminating pregnancy The incidence of abortion and unintended pregnancy in India, 2015National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4)Follow Aarushi on twitter : https://mobile.twitter.com/aarushi_katariaFollow Priyal on twitter : https://mobile.twitter.com/lynciapriyalFollow Atish on twitter : https://mobile.twitter.com/socratishhCheck out Takshashila's courses: https://school.takshashila.org.in/You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/iosYou can check out our website at https://www.ivmpodcasts.com

“A lot of my activism is driven…. by a personal stake in the issues, but to a greater extent it is driven by a sense of empathy and a strong belief that things really should be better in our society than what they currently are..” (Faye C., Australia) More so than in any generation prior, young women in nearly every country around the globe are taking the stage as social activists, using their voice and passion to address inequities wherever they find them. As we look forward to the celebration of the annual International Day of the Girl Child in October, we are reminded that, in many instances, girls are now leading us in the fight against social injustice. What drives this commitment to advocacy in these young women? As importantly for the supportive adults in their lives, what enables and energizes it? In this first episode of On Educating Girls: Creating a World of Possibilities, host Trudy Hall, former NCGS Board Chair and advocate for girls' schools, engages Melissa Kilby, the Executive Director of Girl Up, in an important conversation about why girls are leading social movements and offers advice on how adults can be partners in their endeavors. We will also hear the voices of girls themselves as to what motivates them to take the risks associated with advocacy in this first part of a two-part podcast on the topic Girls As… Social Activists. If you are an advocate for the girls in your life--as a parent, relative, educator, club advisor or supportive adult--this podcast is created to put resources at the ready for you. We promise to keep girls at the center of the conversation in each episode.
