Podcasts about girls education

Globally, 122 million girls are out of school, according to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).  Of those, 2.5 million are banned from education in Afghanistan.Somaya Faruqi, former captain of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team – known as the Afghan Dreamers – and now an Education Cannot Wait Global Champion, gained international recognition for her engineering achievements before being forced to flee her homeland when the Taliban took power in 2021.Ahead of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, she spoke with UN News's Pia Blondel about the stark reality of studying engineering in the United States while many of her peers back home have been forced into marriage and denied an education. 

It's hard to imagine in the western world, but in Nigeria, girls as young as ten are married and four out of every ten girls are married before the age of eighteen, eight out of ten in the northern region. When a girl is forced into marriage, sometimes to a man old enough to be her grandfather, she often cannot continue her education unless her husband allows it, she is likely to live her life illiterate, and she faces a higher risk of death from childbirth due to being neither physically or emotionally ready.  In this episode, we speak with Habiba Mohammed and Maryam Albashir, the co-director and deputy director respectively of the Centre for Girls' Education in Nigeria. These women have dedicated their lives to helping girls through educational programs, safe spaces, Gender-based violence prevention, vocational and leadership training and other mentorship programs through the Centre which has helped thousands of girls since it opened in 2007.  Until this interview, we did not understand just how far reaching the issue of child marriage was in the Sahel region of Africa, and we were blown away by the incredible impact these women have had in improving the lives of so many girls.  We believe that if we want to see more peace in this world, it starts with empowering the girls and women and Habiba and Maryam are showing all of us how.

So I should understand that I am not doing anybody a favor by going to school. I am doing myself. So I need to know that I want to change my life, I will be who I want to be, if I go to school. It can influence the husband that I marry, it can influence the friends that I have, and it will influence the way I want to live my life.” Habiba Mohammed9.24 Maryam Albashir´s Story12.20 A Mother to All13.00 Arranged and non arranged marriages15.00 Going to the communities 16.31 “At the safe spaces we encourage the girls to go back home and discuss what they are learning in the safe spaces to their mothers and their aunties and their other siblings. So this helped us to get very acceptance in the communities.”  Habiba Mohammed16.57 Number of girls they have helped educate20.00 Things the girls learn at the safe spaces20.30 “What we do at the safe spaces is also to empower her, for her to know her self worth, for her to be able to identify what she wants to become in life. Some of these girls, depending on the category of project that we enroll them into, we empower them with vocational skills. So along the line, if they start earning an income it gives them an upperhand in their homes, it gives them a voice to say who they want to be or what they want to become in life.”  Maryam Albashir23.00 1st story of success, story of Sakina27.30 Favorite part of their job29.50 Their message to the world “Every girl, wherever she is, needs an education. And she needs to be empowered and she needs to be who she wants to be in life. So if we are educated and we are given that opportunity the sky is not our limit, the sky will be our starting point.” Habiba Mohammed

Quote: “What I suggest you do is to sit down and be the co-pilot. You don't have to be the expert. Let your daughter be the expert.” (Robert Dodds) How knowledgeable are you about ChatGPT? Do you know how knowledgeable your daughter is? There hasn't just been a buzz about this new application of artificial intelligence, there has been an unrelenting hailstorm of pros and cons from every imaginable reliable source. As a parent, should you embrace this new technology, or should you be terrified? This episode is for every parent who wants to be an informed participant in these emerging conversations. With explanations of what ChatGPT can do and language to frame guidelines for its productive use, this conversation will let you be a thoughtful co-pilot on your daughter's exploration of a tool that will be part of her world---now and well into the future. Robert Dodds, the Head of Innovation at Methodist Ladies' College in Perth, Australia and a parent well-versed in ChatGPT, speaks with host Trudy Hall, taking a complex topic and parsing it into understandable chunks. With practical examples for how parents can learn and use the technology with their daughters, Robert also offers wise counsel to anchor decisions about the applications of A.I. in familiar parental values. He urges us all to be “moral optimists,” seeing past the dark and mysterious questions to a future in which this tool can help girls be both innovative and better prepared for life in school and beyond.

Steen Sonne Andersen is currently the Ambassador of Denmark to Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and Benin. He is based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. An economist by training, Steen began his career working on local governance in Denmark's poorer regions. He then worked with international development agencies in India, Nepal, Bhutan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Tanzania focusing primarily on the education sector. In the start of our conversation, Steen talks about the early days of his professional journey, when a series of urban development projects funded by the European Union in Denmark sparked his curiosity in understanding community resilience and state modernization. We then talk about the process of state building in the Sahel: Steen paints a vivid picture of fragility and conflict drivers in the region, from water scarcity and rapid population growth, to enduring poverty and violent extremism. He also outlines Denmark's aid priorities to prevent further conflict and help stabilize the Sahel through support for effective water management infrastructure and security and justice reform. Throughout the conversation, we talk about social protection and the meaning of solidarity in the Sahel, how values shape community resilience, the social contract in post-colonial states, and the role of education in helping women and girls realize their potential.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard has joined world leaders and prominent activists to discuss the importance of increasing access to education for girls.

There's nothing a terrorist fears more than an educated girl. But right now, only 37% of adolescent girls in Afghanistan are literate. And of the 3.5 million children out of school, 85% are girls. This week we're joined by one of the guys from an incredible company called Combat Flip Flops, co-founded by U.S. special forces members who met in Afghanistan, now creating jobs in war zones - and then turning business proceeds into community good and education in Afghanistan.

Sadiqa Basiri , Founder of the Oruj Learning Center, joined host, Alyse Nelson, for a discussion on women’s rights in Afghanistan and how strong educational institutions will be crucial mechanisms to grow the next generation of Afghan leaders.

And as the United States prepares to remove troops from Afghan soil leaving the nation in a period of uncertainty  – advocates like Sadiqa are working to preserve educational institutions for historically marginalized groups, including girls, out of fear that the future may bring with it, remnants of a historically dark time.Sadiqa is a role model for people around the world who believe in the importance of girls’ education. In response to the recent attacks on girls’ schools in Afghanistan, Sadiqa shares a realistic perspective on the future of her endeavors and educates listeners on what they can do to support Afghanistan during this unpredictable time. To learn more about Vital Voices, visit www.vitalvoices.org.

Ranjitsinh joined Professor Sue Rogers to chat about his innovations, and to answer questions from our education community.

In this episode I am joined by Sophie Ascheim, a founding member of The Pad Project, a non-profit dedicated to ending period poverty and the stigma around periods globally. Sophie was also an executive producer on the Oscar winning documentary, Period. End of Sentence. We discuss the ways in which The PAD Project aims to end period poverty in India and create wider access to menstrual products. One of the biggest issues in developing countries is that not only is there such a taboo around periods, making women uncomfortable using pads or tampons instead of rags or nothing at all, but there also isn't access to these products because they're too expensive or they just aren't physically made available. If India enrolled just 1% more girls in school, their GDP would rise by 5.5 billion dollars. "In many communities in India, parents have to choose between buying pads for their daughter or buying a week's worth of milk for their entire family. When you really compare those, there isn't an option. You feed your family. This dilemma contributed to girls dropping out of school at a really young age. And that was where I first got interested - periods contributing to a lack of education in developing communities."
