Wir müssen über Gleichstellung sprechen: Im globalen Gender Bericht hat Deutschland den 8. Platz erzielt. Ob das gut ist und wo noch Baustellen warten, diskutieren wir in dieser Folge. Doch zu allererst steht die Nachhaltigkeit auf der Tagesordnung. Denn für deren Verbesserung gibt es ganz konkrete Ziele, entwickelt von den UN. Und jetzt wurde ein Report veröffentlicht, der alle Nachhaltigkeitsziele auf den vorhandenen Gender Gap hin beleuchtet. Diesen Bericht diskutieren wir in dieser Folge und führen euch durch die, in weiten Teilen, traurigen Zahlen. Anschließend schauen wir auf den Global Gender Gap Report vom World Economic Forum. Hier gibt es einen einzelnen Bericht für Deutschland, der sehr interessant ist und dabei ganz klar aufzeigt, welche Themen wir in unserem Land angehen dürfen.

This month we've been covering stories about fearless leadership and perhaps like you have been intrigued by the political landscape this month and seeing Kamala Harris emerge as what one can only describe as fearless. So I dug in and found some sources that can help us elements of her leadership that we've been covering on the show. Topics Covered:        Early inspirations  Competition    Determination   Resilience     Networking     Empathy   Here are three takeaways from the episode: 1.   Kamala Harris is breaking the mold for women when it comes to leadership. Her early foundation (mother-inspired, Berkeley in the 60s) set her on a course to be an advocate, empathy, and insights into politics. 2.    Kamala has designed her own way (blended family, Presidential run in 2020) and is an example of learning from failure and demonstrating resilience. 3.   One of Kamala's greatest strengths are her people skills: networking, building influence and creating alliances.   Mentioned in the Episode:   Ep 48, A discussion with Andrea Mein DeWitt about her book: Name Claim Reframe, Your Path to a Well-Lived Life. https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/cfTURe31gMb   Book: Kamala's Way, An American Life, Dan Morain   Ep. 60, Let's Celebrate Women's History Month with the book: Women and Leadership by Julia Gillard & Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/T20W9Za2gMb   Ep. 15, Part 1 of 3, Atlas of the Heart: How do the emotions, Empathy and Compassion, relate to leadership? https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/DZ0O7Q71gMb   The 'blended' family behind Kamala Harris, August 16, 2023 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clylqv3g4rwo   Inside Kamala Harris' close bond with rarely seen sister Maya Harris https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/711649/meet-kamala-harris-sister-maya-harris/   Economic shocks are wiping out progress on gender equality: Global Gender Gap Report 2023, June, 2023 https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/economics-shocks-gender-equality-linkedin/     How to reach Yo Canny:    Our website: www.girltaketheleadpod.com  You can send a message or voicemail there.

Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism. WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality. Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all. This episode was first published on 28 March, 2024. Radio Davos will resume new weekly podcasts from September 2024.

Advancing women's employment could add $12 trillion to global GDP and boost some countries' economic output by as much as 35%. Against a backdrop of stalling progress globally, how can economies, businesses and capital markets tackle gender gaps to unlock new pathways for inclusive and sustainable growth?

In episode 007 of the Kiln.RoadTrip, created and produced by The Swell Pod, hosts Spencer McKeown and Josh Taylor interview Jackie Zehner, founder of SheMoney, during their Kiln Road Trip. Jacki, a former Goldman Sachs partner and financial feminist, discusses her dedication to aligning women with money and power. She highlights the emotional and traumatic aspects of financial management, especially for women, and emphasizes the importance of storytelling in her work. SheMoney, her platform, offers events and workshops to empower women financially, supported by strategic partnerships and the state of Utah. Jacki Zehner describes herself as a financial feminist. The latest Global Gender Gap Report states that at the current rate of change, it will take over 135 years to reach gender parity, and for Jacki, that's completely unacceptable. As the founder of ShePlace and SheMoney, she is bringing all her decades of experience championing for the advancement of women and girls under these new umbrellas. Jacki learned quite a lot about finance while working at Goldman Sachs, where at the age of 32, she became the youngest woman and first female trader to make partner. After leaving Goldman in 2002, Jacki spent almost a decade absorbing as much as she could about the wealth management industry, before diving into philanthropy full force, serving on many women focused non-profit boards, giving through her family foundation, and co-founding a global philanthropic network called Women Moving Millions whose over 330 members have collectively given over one billion dollars with a gender lens. Jacki is an active investor and champion of gender-lens investing more generally. She began writing about women and money in 2009 on her personal blog and other platforms, and now primarily publishes regular content as an Influencer on LinkedIn where she has a following of over 750,000. Jacki is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions for her work, including being named by The Economist magazine as one of the top 50 Diversity Leaders in Public Life.

In this Episode of SparX, Mukesh Bansal, Founder of Myntra & Cult.Fit is in conversation with Shrayana Bhattacharya, economist and author of "Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh”. Join us as we explore Shrayana's valuable insights into the lives of resilient women facing societal norms and economic challenges. From discussing the struggles of working women in India to emphasising collective action and societal cohesion to address systemic problems, Shrayana highlights the shared responsibility in tackling gender inequality. She calls for breaking away from privileged perspectives, advocating for diversity, inclusion, and the inclusion of fresh voices to pave the way for genuine progress. Shrayana also gives us a sneak peek of her vision for her next book, "Tyranny of the Indian Uncle," which focuses on Indian men in their 50s, exploring the privileges and challenges of being a man in today's society.

According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2023 (World Economic Forum), not a single country has yet achieved gender equality. While some countries approach it, sharp disparities persist at the global level, making it imperative not only to accelerate overall progress, but also to help those lagging behind catch up. More than a decade ago, Australia took an important and exceptional step in this direction by creating a dedicated foreign service position to advocate for gender equality outside its borders. Considering gender equality as a crosscutting issue, Australia also takes an active stance in advancing the women's empowerment agenda in various international fora, including the UPU. By putting forward a number of initiatives and innovations, including nominating a UPU Gender Equality Champion, the country is demonstrating its interest in discussing gender equality in the post, as well as its readiness to take the lead in making it happen. For its annual International Women's Day special, Voice Mail has invited Stephanie Copus Campbell, Australia's Ambassador for Gender Equality, to talk about her wide-ranging portfolio and how the postal sector plays into it. In a conversation with Ian Kerr, she explains why, despite setbacks and challenges, fighting for gender equality will benefit all.

Fast vierzig Jahre nach der formellen Gleichstellung bleiben die japanischen Frauen in Politik und Wirtschaft massiv untervertreten. Dahinter steckt ein sehr konservatives Rollenbild, das sich auch im Privaten hält. Doch die neue Generation fordert ihre Rechte ein, mit innovativen Ideen. «Nadeshiko» - wie die «Prachtnelken» sollten Japans Frauen sein: Anmutig, willensstark, dezent verführerisch, opferbereit und dreifach gehorsam – als Tochter dem Vater gegenüber, als Ehefrau dem Ehemann und als Mutter dem Sohn. Die Vorstellung stammt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, doch sie hält sich hartnäckig in der männerdominierten japanischen Gesellschaft. Japan belegt im Global Gender Gap Report des Weltwirtschaftsforums Platz 125 von 146 Ländern. Manche Frauen fügen sich. Doch immer mehr kämpfen für Gleichstellung - in der Öffentlichkeit und zu Hause. Masako Shinohara unterstützt Studierende beim Einstieg ins Berufsleben. Auf ihrer Visitenkarte steht in dicken Lettern «Sag nein zum Sexismus bei der Jobsuche». «Viele Frauen heute tragen Hosen und Turnschuhe statt Rock und Pumps. Sie wollen ihre Persönlichkeit, nicht ihr Geschlecht darstellen. Also fühlen sie sich unwohl, wenn ihnen gesagt wird, sie müssten etwas tun, weil sie weiblich sind». Aktivistinnen wehren sich erfolgreich dagegen, dass Mädchen in Röcken zur Schule, Frauen im eng geschnittenen Kleid zum Vorstellungsgespräch und in Stöckelschuhen zur Arbeit erscheinen müssen. Erste Unternehmen richten Tagesstätten ein, wo Eltern ihre Kinder im Auge behalten können, während sie gleichzeitig ihre Berufsarbeit tun. Eine App, mit der Paare den Anteil der geleisteten Hausarbeit messen können, wurde fast eine Million Mal heruntergeladen. Und auch die Politik ist zur Kampfzone geworden. Hier ist das Missverhältnis besonders eklatant: Nur zehn Prozent der japanischen Abgeordneten sind Frauen – daran hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten nichts geändert. Auf lokaler Ebene sieht es nicht besser aus: nur zwei Prozent der Rathäuser werden von Frauen geleitet. Aber auch das soll sich jetzt ändern. Eine Gruppe kämpft dafür, dass die Hälfte der Parlamentssitze an Frauen gehen. Bei den letzten Regionalwahlen hatte sie erste Erfolge.

Aktivistinnen wehren sich erfolgreich dagegen, dass Mädchen in Röcken zur Schule, Frauen im eng geschnittenen Kleid zum Vorstellungsgespräch und in Stöckelschuhen zur Arbeit erscheinen müssen. Erste Unternehmen richten Tagesstätten ein, wo Eltern ihre Kinder im Auge behalten können, während sie gleichzeitig ihre Berufsarbeit tun. Eine App, mit der Paare den Anteil der geleisteten Hausarbeit messen können, wurde fast eine Million Mal heruntergeladen. Und auch die Politik ist zur Kampfzone geworden. Hier ist das Missverhältnis besonders eklatant: Nur zehn Prozent der japanischen Abgeordneten sind Frauen – daran hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten nichts geändert. Auf lokaler Ebene sieht es nicht besser aus: nur zwei Prozent der Rathäuser werden von Frauen geleitet. Aber auch das soll sich jetzt ändern. Eine Gruppe kämpft dafür, dass die Hälfte der Parlamentssitze an Frauen gehen. Bei den letzten Regionalwahlen hatte sie erste Erfolge.

Introdução: Há alguns anos, falar sobre desigualdade de gênero no mercado de trabalho era algo impensável. Afinal, as mulheres nem mesmo eram permitidas a trabalhar. Apesar de já termos evoluído muito nesse cenário, o Brasil ainda ocupa a 130ª posição em igualdade salarial do relatório Global Gender Gap Report, do Fórum Econômico Mundial. Mas sabemos que, para avançarmos ainda mais, apenas falar sobre o assunto não é mais o suficiente: é preciso agir. E ter sempre em mente que a igualdade não é somente das mulheres, mas também um dever dos homens. E se as mulheres ainda têm um grande espaço a conquistar, a comunidade LGBTQIPN+ tem ainda muito mais desafios. Para falar sobre o assunto, convidamos: Daniela Mozer – co-fundadora da Misses at Work, Colab Feminino sob o olhar das profissionais do Mercado Publicitário. Apresentação: Alexandre Luppi APP Casters: Martha Gucciardi, diretora da APP Brasil e Carol Zaine, vice-presidente de Comunicação, Inovação e Tecnologia APP Brasil

In most parts of the world, the gender gap - the difference in opportunities and outcomes for women compared to men - is closing. But closing so slowly that it would take, at the current rate of progress, until 2154 for men and women to be truly equal. That statistic comes from the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, an extensive, annual survey whose latest edition has just been published. In this episode, World Economic Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi picks some highlights from the report - which has lots to say about the state of gender inequality in the post-pandemic, cost-of-living squeezed world. We also hear from Sue Duke, Vice-President of LinkedIn where she heads public policy. Sue talks about the challenges facing women in the workplace, particularly in the area of STEM - science, technology, engineering and maths - and how tricky is still is for women to get to the top of companies (the 'C-suite').

Bei einer Rangliste der Gleichstellung zwischen den Geschlechtern ist Deutschland um vier Plätze auf Rang sechs vorgerückt. Das bisher beste Ergebnis im "Global Gender Gap Report". Island steht weiterhin auf Platz Eins!

John 4:5-30, 39-42So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?” Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!” The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.” Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?” Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” They left the city and were on their way to him.Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.” The timing of the lectionary and our assigned readings for the third Sunday of Lent don't always have Jesus run into the woman at the well just after International Women's Day – March 8th – but when it does, I think a preacher and his people are called to take notice and to connect some dots.The internet and social media make International Women's Day more notable and noticeable than it used to be – at least to me. According to Wikipedia, the holiday is about raising awareness and concern and calls to action around issues like gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. And I learned that the occasion had its modern-day beginnings, thanks to the Socialist Party of America, as early as 1909, in support of striking garment workers. (Those darned socialists!) And it grew over the years until it became official as a global event, thanks to the United Nations, in 1977.But, I wondered this week if – had everyone been paying more faithful attention to Jesus all along – maybe the seed of an International Women's Day – might have been planted at a well in “a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph,” as John's Gospel records things in Chapter 4.See, there are some things to be learned from – and some common ground to be found – where gender equality, reproductive rights and violence against women are concerned, both where International Woman's Day matters in the world these days and why it might have mattered to Jesus and that woman at the well had there been words for it at the time.…It's safe to assume – and important to say – that it was most likely a robust culture of sexist, misogynistic patriarchy that caused the woman at the well this morning to have been married five times – that it wasn't any sinful, shameful fault of her own, I mean. She was likely married off as a very young girl. She could have been left by her first husband because he had found another wife – or two. She could have been kicked to the curb by another husband because she was unable to have children. She might have been widowed by a third husband and then forced to marry his brother … such were the rules and laws and expectations of the day. (“The Biblical view of marriage,” you might say.)And not only would Jesus have been very aware of all of this, it appears he was more sympathetic than he was judgmental about his new friend's situation than anyone would have expected – herself included.Well, did you know there are more than 250 million women alive today who were married before their 15th birthday – many against their will? – as if a 14 year-old in most cultures would, could, or should know what it means to want to be married. And, some say, 10 million more girls are at risk of becoming child brides by the year 2030.And we can pretend this is something that happens in far-off lands and/or by flawed religious, cultural, political persuasions other than our own. But there are 20 states in the United States with no minimum age restrictions on marriage, as long as a parent or judge sign off on it.…According to the World Health Organization, about one in three women will experience some kind of physical or sexual abuse in her lifetime. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 7 women – compared to 1 in 25 men – have been physically injured by an intimate partner. And 1 in 10 women have been raped by their partner. 96% of murder-suicide victims involving an intimate partner are women.All of which reminds me of another woman, caught in adultery and brought before Jesus by a bunch of men, a few chapters later in John's Gospel. They wanted to stone her to death, as the Law would allow and as their worldview might prefer, but Jesus convinced them otherwise, saves her life, and shows them all a better way of grace.…The Global Gender Gap Report of 2021 found that at the current rate, it will take another 135 years – give or take – for women to achieve economic and political equality with men around the globe.And, like before, we can pretend that it's other people in other, less advanced places, that are dragging that average down. But according to the Pew Research Center, in the United States in 2022, women earned an average of 82% of what men earned, which has been relatively true for the last 20 years.We've still never had a female President in our country.Less than 30% of the House of Representatives is women, even though there are statistically more women than men in the United States.And, even though we're told this morning that many Samaritans from Sychar believed in Jesus because of what they learned from the woman at the well in this morning's Gospel, and even though we know that a woman named Mary Magdalene was the first person entrusted with the Gospel's good news of Jesus' resurrection that first Easter morning there are still churches around the world and in our very own town – that don't allow women to preach in their pulpits or serve in positions of leadership.…All of this matters for the women and girls in our lives. It matters for the men and boys among us, too. And it matters on International Women's Day and on every day that's NOT International Women's Day, just the same.The bottom line of it all is that Jesus sees value in people others do not – including and especially women, today – and so should we. Jesus gives ministry away to those the world will not – including and especially women, today – and so should we. Jesus challenges the status quo – always for the sake of justice, mercy and love – including and especially for the sake of women today – and so should we. And today, Jesus goes out of his way to do all of this for and with a woman who doesn't even get the dignity of a name in John's Gospel – though the well from which she was drawing water does.So maybe, today, we can see this woman and call her by the name of the women we know and love, respect and regard – our wives, our sisters, our mothers, daughters and friends – until all women and every girl are seen as wholly loved by and created fully in the image of the God of all creation.Amen.

As the Sandinista Revolution is finally able to make its platform a reality, Nicaragua has made significant achievements in healthcare, education, housing, renewable energy and food sovereignty, to name a few. One achievement that is starting to get more attention is the gain in equality for women. The Global Gender Gap Report for 2022 ranked Nicaragua 7th in the world for gender parity. Clearing the FOG spoke with Jill Clark-Gollub, who recently returned from a delegation to Nicaragua that focused on conditions for women. She describes the country as "run by women" who connect their feminism to the struggles against capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy. Clark-Gollub also dispels misinformation about Nicaragua being promoted in the US corporate media and explains how the US is working to undermine the gains of the Sandinistas through hybrid warfare.

In its Global Gender Gap Report 2022, the World Economic Forum states that it will take another 132 years before gender pay parity is achieved globally at the current rate of progress. This is the context within which women seek to build their careers and businesses, and for many these challenging professional demands are compounded by expectations at home. In this episode of WiFB, Naomi George, founder of Optimum, which equips people with the positive mindset and enhanced wellbeing that enables them to thrive, discusses unrealistic expectations and how to manage them. She speaks from experience, offering advice to those who feel they don't have enough energy or time to accomplish what they think they need to and how to deal with their guilt when they ‘fall short'.

Do you know what the difference between gender equity and equality is and why it matters? Throughout history women have been protesting various issues such as sexism, gender-based violence, gender inequality and corrupt political systems. From the right to vote to the right to loiter, women - and some men - have made themselves heard. Change may be slow, but change does happen. Season 3 of the Just for a Change podcast powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship captures conversations with changemakers - both local and from further afield. Episode 1 takes us to the streets of Mumbai, India and the start of an inspiring social movement that involves loitering and the promotion of gender equity, started by Neha Singh. Neha is an author, and theatre-maker and was included in the BBC's top 100 women who have made a positive impact on the world in 2016 for her work on the #WhyLoiter movement.

진행자: 최정윤, Beth Eunhee Hong 1. 'Angry young men' are turning their backs on Yoon [1] “Disgruntled young men” were one of the main forces behind the rise of a political novice named Yoon Suk-yeol to the highest office in South Korea earlier this year. Yoon, whose career had been entirely focused on rounding up bad guys as a state prosecutor, was hoped to restore justice in a society that they say was tilted in favor of feminists, labor unions and North Korean sympathizers. *disgruntled:불만스러워 하는, 언짢은/ disgruntle: 기분을 상하게 하다 *novice: 초보자/ novice at/in sth : a novice at the sport, a novice in politics *round up: 1.~을 모으다 2. ~을 찾아 체포하다 *sympathizer: 동조자/ sympathize: 측은히 여기다, 지지하다 [2] A few months after his election, however, the mood among younger conservative men appears to be sharply different. “People in their 20s and 30s around me are all regretting their vote for Yoon Suk-yeol,” one recent post uploaded on FM Korea read, an online community popular among young conservatives. Another said, “I'm scared of what blunders we might hear.” *blunder: (어리석은) 실수, v)실수하다 [3] When asked why, 24 percent of those surveyed who disapproved of the president cited his appointment of Cabinet members, while 14 percent said lack of experience and incompetence. Six percent were not happy with the administration's handling of the floods. *cabinet: 내각/ 보관함 윤석열 정부를 구성하고 있는 사람들 *incompetence: 무능 (=ineptitude) 원문: https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220815000154 2. Iceland tops gender gap report for 2022 [1] Efforts to close the global gender gap improved slightly this year after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed gender equality by at least three decades, the World Economic Forum said. *gender gap: 성별 격차/ Gender Gap Index: 세계경제포럼(WEF)이 경제적 참여와 기회, 교육적 성과, 정치적 참여, 평균 수명과 성비를 기반한 성불평등지수 [2] In its 16th Global Gender Gap Report, the WEF said overall gender disparity across politics, work, health and education improved and it will now take 132 years to reach full parity compared with 136 years last year. Before the pandemic, the gap was set to close within 100 years. *disparity: (특히 한 쪽에 불공평한) 차이/ disparity between the sexes, in age, among schools (=inequality) *parity: (보수, 지위의) 동등함 (=equality) [3] Iceland topped the ranking for the 13th consecutive year due to the nation's high educational attainment score and the high percentage of women in government followed by Finland, Norway and New Zealand. South Korea ranked 99th among 146 countries. The WEF's global gender gap index measures progress toward gender parity in four areas: Economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival as well as political empowerment. *attainment: 성과/ 달성 *empowerment: 권한/ 자율권 원문: https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220803000778&np=1&mp=1

The Global Gender Gap Report 2022 — released by the World Economic Forum last month — said countries will take another 132 years, compared to 136 in 2021, to close the gap between men and women in the workforce. In Mena, this figure stands at 115 years. Overall, the gap has widened compared to before the pandemic and the lack of equity for women, particularly in management roles, has become a crisis. With the challenges facing business such as climate change, inflation and technological shifts, diversity of leadership as well as staff, will build resilience to cope with such an unprecedented era of change. And the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated a long-term global trend of more women founding their own businesses, according to the professional social networking site LinkedIn. Sue Duke, vice president of global public policy and economic graph at LinkedIn, which provides insights and data to research including the Forum's report, talks to host Mustafa Alrawi about the risks and opportunities involved in closing the gender gap.

Last week, the World Economic Forum released the Global Gender Gap Report 2022, which provides an index of where countries stand in achieving gender parity since it was first released in 2006. Out of 146 countries, Malaysia ranked 103rd, and globally, it's said that it will take another 132 years to close the gender gap. We speak to Sivananthi Thanenthiran, Executive Director of ARROW, to discuss what this means for us in our efforts to achieve gender equality and how we can possibly shorten that time frame.Image Credit: Shutterstock

Sri Lanka's foreign currency reserves have virtually run dry, and the president has fled the country after months of protests over soaring prices and a lack of food and fuel. Vivienne Nunis gets an update from the BBC's Anbarasan Ethiragan from outside the main protest site, and Shanta Devarajan, advisor liaising between international financial institutions and the Sri Lankan government. Inflation in the United States has increased as its fastest rate since November 1981. Everyday goods are now, on average, 9.1% more expensive than they were a year ago. Business Correspondent Samira Hussain explains the reasons behind this from New York. Iceland has topped the overall rankings as the most gender-equal country in the World Economic Forum's Global "Gender Gap" Report this year- the second year running. The author of the report, Saadia Zahidi explains why the world's two biggest economies are at opposite ends of the rankings. Today Russian and Ukrainian delegations are meeting Turkish and UN officials to find a solution to the grain exportation crisis. Daniil Melnychenko is a data analyst at Informil Business group in Odessa, which analyses cargo in the Black Sea. He shares his view on negotiations. And finally, Australia's biggest hardware chain, Bunnings, and retailer Kmart, are using facial recognition technology in their stores. Kat Power from consumer group Choice Australia, joins us.

As the war in Ukraine escalates, women are playing a growing role in the country's defence—on the front lines, in parliament, and beyond. The most recent data released in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report shows that it will take the US and Canada 61.5 years to close the gender gap. The federal government pitched its $27 billion childcare plan as a way to save families money and make it easier for parents to stay in the workforce while raising kids, something that would benefit mothers, in particular.

A psicóloga Verónica Barros fálanos da falsa sensación de igualdade de xénero que ten a sociedade e analiza os datos dos organismos internacionais. "Hai enquisas que amosan que existe unha percepción de que hai unha maior igualdade que hai anos, aínda que os datos de todos os organimos demostran todo o contrario". "Cando hai 44 mulleres asasinadadas nun ano, significa que non estamos nesa situación tan idílica que nós queren mostras certos medios e certos políticos". "Según a ONU Mulleres un terzo das mulleres sufreu violencia física ou sexual e menos do 40% buscou axuda e só un 10% denunciou". O Foro Económico Mundial ( FEM) publica anualmente o Global Gender Gap Report, que examina as brechas de xénero en catro áreas: participación e oportunidades económicas, educación, saúde e supervivencia, e poder político. En 2021, o FEM estima que se necesitarán 135.6 anos para eliminar as desigualdades de xénero no mundo. En 2020, estimaba que se necesitarían 99.5 anos : a pandemia de Covid-19 atrasou o logro da igualdade a unha xeración máis. ⚕️BARROS PSICOLOGÍA, Gabinete de psicoloxía especializado en trastornos do espectro autista e TDAH.

For the past 12 years, Iceland has ranked at the top of the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report. This week, the country's Canadian-born first lady, writer Eliza Reid, speaks to Tamara about her surprising journey from Ottawa hobby farm to sharing a life with the president of Iceland, how she's redefined the role of a First Lady, and why she was moved to capture the stories of Iceland's extraordinary women in her book, Secrets of the Sprakkar.

As per the Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take 267.6 years to close the gender gap in economic participation and opportunity.In 2021, India slipped 28 places and ranked 140th among 156 nations in The Global Gender Gap Index.Our female labour force participation rate stands distressingly low at 22.3 per cent.Only 31 percent of women occupy the Chief Human Resources Officer's role in India, a role which is over-represented by women in other countries, such as the US and South Africa.Less than 3 percent of Chief Executive Officers in India are women.In our first interview of 2022, I talk to Nishtha Anand on her first book - Awakening the Rainmaker where she shares the interviews with so many luminaries,a framework to establish a gender neutral ecosystem in organisations and includes practices for gender neutral upbringing. Awakening the Rainmaker is a practical handbook on gender equality at the workplace and in life for individuals and organisations.About Nishtha: She is an author and a professional with close to a decade of experience in investment banking and strategy, having worked across India and Singapore. Academically, I am a Delhi University Gold Medalist and hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), New Delhi (CGPA ranked in top 5). Most recently my book called Awakening the Rainmaker - A Guide to Gender Equality is published by Bloomsbury (global publishing giant, fame the Harry Potter series) and is available to buy now on Amazon and other platforms.

El estudio de la OCDE sobre políticas públicas de conducta empresarial responsable en México, señala que nuestro país tiene una de las tasas más bajas de participación de las mujeres en el mercado laborar, solamente el 47 % de las mexicanas en edad productiva son parte de la fuerza de trabajo, en comparación con el 67 % promedio de la OCDE. En el Global Gender Gap Report 2021 del Foro Económico Mundial coloca a México entre los 40 países que han cerrado su brecha de género. Ocupando el puesto 34 a nivel mundial en el índice. Sin embargo, y de acuerdo con este reporte una prioridad urgente para México es impulsar la Participación y Oportunidad Económicas, donde solo el 59% de la brecha de género se ha cerrado, lo que lleva a que nuestro país se ubique en el puesto 122 a nivel mundial. Una de las causas de esta baja posición es la baja participación de las mujeres en la fuerza laboral. Solo el 14.6% de las empresas tienen una mujer como gerente o en cargos superiores. Estas dinámicas conducen a una amplia brecha de género en ingresos y salarios, ambas del 50%.El gobierno mexicano ha implementado algunas normativas que buscan prevenir, atender y sancionar las prácticas discriminatorias como la Norma NMX-R-025-SCFI-2015 en Igualdad Laboral y No Discriminación. Regulada por la Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS), la cual se basa en regulaciones internacionales y nacionales en materia de igualdad y no discriminación en el empleo, la seguridad social, el entorno de trabajo adecuado, la accesibilidad, y la libertad de asociación. El estudio de la OCDE señala que uno de los mayores desafíos para México en lo que respecta a las cuestiones de derecho laboral consiste en garantizar la no discriminación en el empleo y la ocupación, así como la igualdad de oportunidades entre hombres y mujeres. Por ello recomienda a nuestro país fortalecer todas aquellas leyes y regulaciones laborales destinadas a abordar la discriminación, a fin de disuadir a las empresas de adoptar prácticas discriminatorias en el lugar de trabajo.

Un'altra generazione di donne dovrà attendere la parità di genere, secondo il Global Gender Gap Report 2021 del World Economic Forum: l'impatto della pandemia si è fatto sentire in modo fortemente consistente, così da rinviare la chiusura del divario di genere globale di un'altra generazione.>> Leggi anche l'articolo: https://bit.ly/3wEvG1Y>> Scopri tutti i podcast di Altalex: https://bit.ly/2NpEc3w

The COVID-19 pandemic has, of course, had an extraordinary effect on all our lives. But for women, according to a new report, it's had a particularly devastating impact. The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual Global Gender Gap Report shows the coronavirus has pushed back gender parity by an entire generation. In this episode of the Agenda podcast, Stephen Cole will look at when, if ever, we might finally reach true gender equality.First on the podcast Cole talks to one of the people behind the WEF report, Till Leopold, who explains precisely how the report came to this rather shocking conclusion – and what can be done to address it [00:39]. According to the paper, the economic gender gap won't be closed for at least another 267 years. So why is it that in an apparently advanced society, women are still paid less than men for doing the same jobs?To find out more Cole talks to Wanda Wyporska of The Equality Trust and Rachel Verdin, a former trade union representative and now academic at the University of Sussex Business school. They discuss some of the issues surrounding the gender pay gap and how it's been affected by COVID-19 [09:17]. Finally, Kate Maclean from the Centre for International Development at Northumbria University explains why female political leaders – such as New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern – have come to the fore in this time of crisis [18:10].

The Philippines, often hailed as one the most gender-equal countries in the world, placed 17th out of 156 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2021. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Philippines came in second only to New Zealand, which ranked fourth globally. The report doesn't paint the whole picture, said Nathalie Africa-Verceles, director of the Center for Women and Gender Studies at the University of the Philippines. "There are still many laws that need to be enacted and still many provisions of existing laws that need to be revised because there are provisions in existing laws that are discriminatory to women. But when we talk about gender, we don't only refer to women," she said, emphasizing that gender equality includes the rights of the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning) community. Congress, she added, should prioritize passing the SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression) Equality Bill. "I'm very disappointed it's taking so long." In this B-Side episode, Ms. Africa-Verceles speaks with Gillian M. Cortez (who was a reporter for BusinessWorld at the time of the interview) about contradictions between Philippine culture and Philippine laws, in terms of gender equality. This B-Side episode was recorded remotely on May 18. Produced by Paolo L. Lopez and Sam L. Marcelo.

In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of initiatives that have raised global awareness about the importance of gender diversity, the challenge of the gender pay gap - as well as the issue of a lack of women in senior leadership positions. But while these initiatives draw more attention to these issues, what I want to understand is has this attention led to progress. Are we getting any closer to closing the Gender Gap? And today’s guest, Uma Thana Balasingam, is ideally suited to help me delve deeper into this question. In her day job, she’s the Vice President of the Partner & Commercial Organization for VMWare in Asia Pacific. She has also been recognised by CRN in their “Most Powerful Women of the Channel” global list, and she also features in Singapore’s Top 100 Women in IT. But she does so much more across the ICT ecosystem than just that.  She’s also the Co-Founder of Lean In’s Singapore Chapter and the Founder of Lean In Women in Tech Asia and  Women in Tech Singapore.  Show Notes: 02:00 Intro to Uma - how she got where she is today 07:20 The opportunities the pandemic created for VMWare 10:00 How has the pandemic affected how you communicate with your internal and external teams? 14:00 What do you understand today from a business perspective that you wish you understood 5 or 10 years ago? 17:00 How has an introvert thrived in what many would think are extrovert roles? 20:00 We hear about gender equality and the gender pay gap, but the question is, are we really making progress? 24:00 The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2021 highlights the massive gender gaps in emerging jobs - what do we need to do to improve this? 31:30 Intro to Lean In Singapore  33:30 What is unconscious bias? And can you give us examples of where you have experienced it? 42:40 The Provocative Questions. Uma and I agreed that I would be intentionally provocative in this section - asking her questions that some men might want to ask, but won’t because they are concerned they will be branded as sexist.  64:30 What can men do to help create fair and equal environments for women?

The time it will take for the gender gap to close grew by 36 years in the space of just 12 months, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2021 Global Gender Gap Report. The report estimates that it will take an average of 135.6 years for women and men to reach parity on a range of factors worldwide, instead of the 99.5 years outlined in the 2020 report. 36 years marks the largest gain in one year since the report started in 2006.

Hey Anonymous.fm listeners! Happy International Women's Day

Earlier this year the World Economic Forum released the 2020 Global Gender Gap Report in which it highlighted that it will be close to 100 years before we see gender parity. A more sobering realization is that due to COVID-19, and the reimagined workplace where work and home responsibilities have intersected, many women are scaling back their careers. In a recent Department of Labor report on unemployment, women have left the workforce at four times the rate of men. Women are often the caregivers, and COVID forces schools to close and distant learning, women are juggling in a pressure cooker to the breaking point multiple priorities at home and at work.

Episode Notes Twenty-five years ago in Beijing, China the UN Fourth World Conference on Women set forth a powerful global agenda to achieve women’s equality. While much progress has been made, millions of women and girls around the world still face discrimination, violence, and unequal access to resources. The gender gap in the economic sphere is particularly striking. The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020 reveals stubbornly low levels of women in managerial or leadership positions, and women’s wage stagnation, low formal labor force participation, and lower incomes. This conversation will highlight ways that men can serve as visible, vocal champions for women’s advancement in the workforce, with a focus on concrete actions that major global companies can take to achieve gender equality.

It’s mind blowing that, in 2020, so many people are still fighting for equality. The current climate of anger and divisiveness only emphasises that fact. Unfortunately, the tech industry is no exception. The gender gap, in particular, has long been a topic of contention. And while seven out of the top 10 most gender-equal countries are in Europe, according to the WEF’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020, the UK is not one of them. Even once their expertise and dedication sees them soar to the top, female tech COOs are consistently underpaid, earning 12% less than their male equivalents. Experts say that, overall, across every industry, women may have to wait 250 years to achieve pay parity with men. That simply isn’t good enough. Women must be paid what they're worth. But this is an issue that starts as early as school, where young girls are discouraged from pursuing their passion in STEM. We talk to some of the industry’s most powerful female figures about their experience as a woman in tech, laying out a blueprint for breaking the bro barrier and inspiring a female digital workforce.

Thème 3 : Le vélo. Episode 1 : Le vélo : ça roule sans piste ? Erigée en petite reine du déconfinement, la bicyclette se voit soudainement mise sur le devant de la scène. De nouvelles pistes cyclables temporaires sont tracées en une nuit, ouvrant la voie aux nouveaux cyclistes, qui, les collectivités l’espèrent, pourraient conserver durablement cette pratique. En effet, la recherche est unanime : les pistes cyclables sont une condition clé au développement de la pratique du vélo. Elles permettent à une variété d’usagers de se sentir en sécurité, améliorent l’efficacité du vélo et la qualité de son expérience d’usage en ville. Si les infrastructures cyclables sont un facteur clé, et feront d’ailleurs l’objet d’un épisode dédié de Lost in Transportation, il serait néanmoins trompeur de résumer la pratique du vélo à ces seules voies réservées. Des questions bien plus générales conditionnent cette pratique : pour qui le vélo est-il attractif ? Dans quels contextes ? Avec quelles activités est-il compatible ? Comment la « culture vélo » varie-t-elle d’un pays à l’autre ? Bref, comment la pratique du vélo s’insère-t-elle dans la vie quotidienne ? Le lien entre vélos et modes de vie, pour une variété d’usagers et dans une variété de contextes, est discuté dans cet épisode qui a pour objectif de complexifier le discours autour des pistes cyclables.

Hello! And welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. We’re in crazy times, so I thought it’d be good to take a break with today’s podcast guest… Sarah Nöckel, founder of Femstreet, a newsletter dedicated to women in tech and venture capital. Femstreet has exploded in popularity and influence since Sarah started it about two years ago, and we dug deep into how she grew her following to more than 7,000 subscribers from nothing, and what influence she’s had in narrowing the inequality gap. On Friday we’ll have an update on the you know what, specifically looking at what each U.S. state has done and is doing to combat the spread. Until then, enjoy some normality and stay safe out there. Enjoy 🤓Picks of the WeekTulsi Gabbard Drops Out — Yes, Tulsi was still in the race until last week, and bizarrely endorsed Joe Biden despite disagreeing with him on almost everythingMarie Newman — Progressive Marie Newman beat incumbent Democrat Dan Lipinski in Illinois’ 3rd district primary, and is set to join The Squad in the House of RepsOlympics Postponed — Japan and the IOC held out as long as possible, but they finally announced the inevitable and moved the Tokyo Olympics to next summerSarah 👇How Sarah Built FemstreetSarah launched Femstreet because she couldn’t find a central place for news on women making strides in the technology and venture capital industries. So in September 2017, Sarah published her first article to just a handful of subscribers. More than 100 editions of Femstreet later, Sarah now publishes to more than 7,000 subscribers. While the content is targeted at women in tech and VC, her lessons and experience can be used and applied by anyone anywhere. Four of the biggest lessons Sarah has learned, which I share and couldn’t put better myself, include…Niche doesn’t mean small. Like-minded people find each otherFocus. Depth not breadthGenuine personal brand is importantCreate for the best readers, not all the readersWhat you can do now: start something. It doesn’t matter what, but with more downtime in these crazy times, just start with the first block, and then add to it every day.The Gap Is Closing, But Not Fast EnoughEvery year the World Economic Forum publishes its Global Gender Gap Report, which covers aspects including Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. I dived into the 2020 edition to see what the current situation is and how large the strides we’re making are. Below is a summary of the main findings…Overall global gender parity is at 68.6 percent, up slightly from a year before. That figure is pulled up and down by different countries and subindexes, but overall, gender equality is improving.The subindex with the largest disparity is Political Empowerment — the number of women represented in parliaments around the world, followed by Economic Participation and Opportunity — the ability of women to enter the workplace. Educational Attainment and Health and Survival have 96.1 percent and 95.7 percent parity, respectively. The latter two are very positive.The number of women in parliament has improved dramatically in recent years, especially in countries such as Latvia, Spain and Thailand. But still only a quarter of the more than 35,000 global parliamentary seats are occupied by women. In some countries, women aren’t represented at all.The number of women in senior roles around the world has also increased. Globally, around 36 percent of senior private sector managers and public sector officials are women, a rise of about 2 percent from last year. This metric is also heavily weighted by a handful of countries.New problems exist lower down the ladder though. On average, only 55 percent of adult women are in the workforce, compared with 78 percent of men. Educational Attainment is another subindex weighted by developed countries in the west. Ten percent of women around the world are still illiterate. Significantly more investment is needed in developing countries.Progress is being made, but not fast enough. The overall global gender gap is slated to be closed in 100 years; Political Empowerment will take around 95 years to close; Economic Participation and Opportunity will take 257 years to close. BUT there is better news: Educational Attainment is on track to close over the next 12 years!Unsurprisingly, Western Europe has the highest gender parity of any region, followed by North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.At the current pace, overall gender gaps could be closed in 54 years in Western Europe, 59 years in Latin America and the Caribbean, 71 years in South Asia, and a whopping 151 years in North America.The five most improved countries in this year’s report are Ethiopia, Spain, Mali, Albania and Mexico.Iceland (God bless you) is once again the most gender-equal country for the 11th time in a row with a disparity of just 12 percent. In second is Norway, followed by Finland and Sweden. Notice anything?Like Me, Please?Hope you’re finding this edition useful. If you can, please click the ❤️ at the top. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Thank you.What Scandanavia Is Doing That Other Countries Are NotBefore we lavish the Nordics too much, we must recognize that many senior positions within corporations and government are still held by old white men. Let me say that all old white men are not evil, but when you have too many of any one group or demographic controlling a system, said system becomes slow-moving and reactive, instead of being progressive and proactive. That said, the likes of Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland are the best countries in the world for gender equality.In Iceland, women have had the best working conditions of any other country for 11 years in a row now. Part of why comes from the fact that for centuries, women have stayed at home while the men traversed the oceans. As a result, women had to play the role of farmer, hunter, architect, builder and so on. Now that overseas exploration isn’t really a thing, women and their contribution are sewn into the country’s fabric. Similar histories can be told of many countries around the world, but Scandanavia has taken advantage the most and is part of why they are also among the happiest countries in the world. Serena Williams Gave Birth, Then Lost Her RankingJust one recent example of the hardships women have to break through that men don’t involves the greatest tennis to have ever stepped onto the court. In January 2017, Serena Williams left on maternity leave ranked No. 1 in the world, having won the 2017 Australian Open while 20 weeks pregnant. Insane. When she returned to the game at the 2018 French Open, she was suddenly ranked No. 415. The WTA’s maternity leave rules back then meant that Serena lost out on ranking points for the entire time she was out. Serena being Serena used her platform to speak out on the issue and the WTA has since revised its policy to allow new mothers to use their previous ranking at 12 select tournaments within a three-year period.Now this is obviously the highest-of-profile cases, and most other women don’t have the same power and influence to speak out. While Serena put her career on hold to give birth, the same can’t be said for millions of other women across the globe. As a result, fertility rates today are among the lowest ever recorded.Fertility Rates Have Plummeted, EverywhereMore and more women are choosing to go in the opposite direction to Serena, saying no to giving birth full stop. In 1960, the average women had five children (holy mackerel!), but that figure has been halved as of 2017, according to data from the World Bank. Why? Because women are finally being allowed to make decisions for themselves, and the increasing financial requirements of raising a child has become too much for many women and couples. However, there is still wild variation between different regions. What are Governments Doing to Reduce Gap?Consultancy firm McKinsey & Company identified six ways governments can intervene and speed up the closing of the gap: Laws, policies, and regulation; financial incentives and support; technology and infrastructure; creation of economic opportunity; capability building; and advocacy and shaping attitudes. Governments have the power, the money and the stakeholders to put all of these into action, but put simply, not enough are doing enough about it.

The 2020 Global Gender Gap Report, published by the World Economic Forum, shows that gender parity will not be attained for 99.5 years. In the intellectual property (IP) industry, even though genders are similarly creative and innovative, it is not a secret to say that the field is predominantly male-oriented. Women are, for instance, underrepresented in patenting; one study has even projected that women will not see parity in patenting until 2092! This issue is addressed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which is committed to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, as well as by many other local and international initiatives. Our guest today will help us to understand women’s positions when it comes to IP both as an industry and as a practice.

The Global Gender Gap Report published by the World Economic Forum states that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but is linked to a country’s overall economic performance. Over the last decade Australia has made significant progress towards gender equality, particularly in education, health and female workforce participation. At universities, in organisations and in government, more women are taking on leadership roles and forging positive pathways for future generations. Despite this progress, inequality and discrimination prevail in many areas of society. Women continue to earn less than men, are less likely to advance their careers as far as men, and accumulate less retirement or superannuation savings. Hear our speakers and panellists discuss what #EachForEqual means for them; how we can empower young women and men to operate in a more equitable way; the systems and norms which have historically oppressed women; different industry sectors and their varying pace of change in this space and; the role of the education sector in facilitating gender equity.   Speakers: Imelda Whelehan - Dean, Graduate Research School at The University of Western Australia Panellists Jill Benn (MODERATOR) University Librarian at The University of Western Australia   Sandra Brewer BCom '94 WA Executive Director at Property Council of Australia   Preeti Castle MBA '18 Strategic Engagement Director at The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute.  Non-Executive Director at Munda Biddi Trail Foundation   Dr Fiona McGaughey PhD '18 Director of Higher Degrees (Coursework), UWA Law School   Chris Sutherland BE '86 Non-Executive Director   Closing Remarks Pauline Chiwawa BCom '19 (she/her) 2020 Women’s Officer at UWA Student Guild

Z premiéra z minuty na minutu zástupcem hlavy Bezpečnostní rady Ruska. Takový osud postihl ruského předsedu vlády Dmitrije Medvěděva, který po vystoupení prezidenta Putina před oběma komorami Federálního shromáždění přišel o křeslo, o své podřízené a o kancelář v moskevském Bílém domě, který je sídlem vlády. Příprava na revoluční změny pod Putinovou taktovkou právě začala – a sleduje ji reportérka Petra Procházková. A ještě jedno téma. Dnešní ženy se během svého života nejspíš nedočkají stejných výdělků jako muži. A pravděpodobně ani jejich dcery. Tvrdí to experti Světového ekonomického fóra v analýze Global Gender Gap Report 2020. Tempo dohánění mezd se letos navíc zpomalilo. Studii prozkoumala Tereza Mynářová z ekonomické redakce.

The 2018 Global Gender Gap Report, published by the World Economic Forum, benchmarks 149 countries on their progress towards gender parity across four thematic dimensions. Economic dimensions will, according to the report, take over 200 years to close. Alongside this, the report also noted a 72% gender gap in Artificial Intelligence, a sector which, it is stated, holds critical in-demand skill sets for the future. In this episode of Industry Experts, we speak to female tech entrepreneur Zara Nanu. Her company, Gapsquare, provides a straightforward AI-based software, and using this data, focuses on analysing and tackling the gender pay gap for any company. As a female in technology, and a leading expert on diversity and empowerment, Zara discusses with us the gender pay gap alongside equal pay, occupational segregation and changing culture in the workplace.

Being a Woman in the Executive Boardroom Available on iTunes. On this week’s Women Talk Tech podcast we talk to Nikki Gore of Siren Marketing, a long time marketer in the tech sector. Nikki reflects on her personal journey of being a women in the tech sector and how the technology industry has impacted her career. Marie and Nikki discuss the obstacles women face in the tech industry, both remembering the days when they were the only women in the executive wing. While organization`s today realize the importance of gender balance, the technology sector specifically still looks like an old boy`s club. In order to truly achieve gender parity in the board room and on an economic scale the challenge is twofold: We need to find more and better ways to get women into the technology sector (the fastest growing sector in the world). We need to keep women in it. This episode also touches on the importance of corporate social responsibility and sustainability. As large enterprises become more conscious of their social impact, it will become increasingly important for those wanting to do business to be able to demonstrate a programmatic approach to social impact and sustainability. There is a huge opportunity for technology companies to use social impact, corporate social responsibility and sustainability as both a brand and competitive differentiator.

Karrierekvinder vender blikket opad. Nemlig mod ’glasloftet’. Et begreb, der opstod i 80erne og som dækker over at kvinder og andre minoriteter har svært ved at avancere over et vist niveau i organisation og samfund. Siden 80erne er der sket meget, så giver det overhovedet mening at tale om et glasloft i dag? Vi besøger Christina Lundsgaard Ottsen, forsker i diversitet og ledelse ved Aarhus Universitet, der skal hjælpe os med forstå glasloftet som begreb i dag. Og så er vi forbi Nestlé Nordic og taler med den nordiske HR chef Mikala Larsen samt to medarbejdere i ledelsesstillinger, Regine Kimmer Jørgensen og Peter Munch Larsen. På bare tre år er det nemlig lykkedes Nestlé Nordic at få lige så mange kvinder som mænd på alle ledelsesniveauer. Og det endda uden at tale køn. Vi skal høre, hvordan de helt konkret har gjort.   SHOWNOTES I afsnittet taler vi om en del teorier, forskning og eksempler. Du finder links til nævnte her: European Commission (2012, Nov.)

Baroness Hayto and Betty Webb talk about gender parity in the workplace, sharing their own experiences and exploring what needs to be done to achieve equality across all industries, at all levels, and in all professions. With the World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report findings telling us that gender parity is over 200 years away – and with global activism for women’s equality fuelled by movements like #MeToo, #TimesUp – there is a strong global momentum striving for gender parity. Join us at Kellogg College on International Women’s Day as we hear from two women who will talk about gender parity in the workplace, sharing their own experiences and exploring what needs to be done to achieve equality across all industries, at all levels, and in all professions. Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town is Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords and shadow Brexit minister. Betty Webb was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park, working on Japanese air codes during the Second World War.

Sweden prides itself on being a beacon of feminism. It has the most generous parental leave in the developed world, providing for 18 months off work, 15 of which can be used by fathers as paternity leave. A quarter of the paid parental leave is indeed used by men, and this is too little according to the Swedish government, which has made it a political priority to get fathers to stay at home longer with their children. Sweden has never ranked lower than four in The Global Gender Gap Report, which has measured equality in economics, politics, education, and health for the World Economic Forum since 2006. Of all members of Parliament, 44 percent are women, compared to 19 percent of the United States Congress. Nearly two-thirds of all university degrees are awarded to women. Its government boasts that it is the “first feminist government” in the world, averring that gender equality is central to its priorities in decision-making and resource allocation. But while Swedish women rank among the most equal in the world, they increasingly … The post Sweden’s Sexual Assault Crisis Presents a Feminist Paradox appeared first on Quillette.

Despite South Korea’s economic development, and its status as a full member of the OECD group of nations, critics continue to denounce the conservative nature of the Korean society. As we mentioned here before, South Korea ranks very low in indexes measuring inequality between men and women (e.g. the Global Gender Gap Report, published by the World Economic Forum), alongside countries one would not necessarily associate Korea with (such as Qatar or Nigeria). Such rankings reflect tangible societal expectations, norms and behaviors that South Korean women are expected to embrace, but which they sometimes also resist or transgress. Our guest for this interview, Professor Aljosa Puzar, has dedicated much of his research to the coming of age of young women in Korea and the process he describes as their “dollification”. Professor Puzar argues that in terms of esthetics, behavior, and expected social roles young women are encouraged to become “dolls” – and to develop a femininity that does not threaten already established structures of patriarchy. Professor Puzar is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies at the Underwood International College of Yonsei University. He completed a PhD in Literary Theory and History from the University of Rijeka, Croatia and recently obtained his second PhD in Critical and Cultural Theory from the University of Cardiff, under the title: “Coming of Age in South Korea: Ethnographies and Histories of Transgression”. Professor Puzar has authored and co-authored many books and publications and his writings have been featured in several academic journals, including the Journal of Current Cultural Research, Asian Women and Studies in Symbolic Interaction.

Despite the growing gender balance in provincial premiers, elected politics remains the domain of men. According to the 2012 Global Gender Gap Report, Canadian women's position in politics is 20% of men's. How is this possible, given that Canada not only has no formal, legal restrictions on women's political representation and participation, but that discrimination based on gender is prohibited under sections 15 and 28 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? The speaker contends that women's reduced political position in Canada is a result of 1) a lack of demand for women candidates from Canada's political parties; 2) the reaction of some (male) voters to women candidates; and 3) stereotypes about women's political engagement. All three go some to way explaining why women in Canada are so perniciously underrepresented in federal politics. Speaker: Melanee Thomas Melanee Thomas is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on the causes and consequences of gender-based political inequality in Canada and other post-industrial democracies. She has published research in journals such as Politics & Gender, Electoral Studies, and the Canadian Journal of Political Science. Dr. Thomas is well known to Lethbridge residents. As well as doing her first degree at the University of Lethbridge and serving as Students' Union President, Dr. Thomas twice ran in the Lethbridge federal riding for the NDP.

Om bakslag och frambrytningar för arabvårens mödrar och döttrar. Vad hände med kvinnorna som stred i täten mot förtrycket? Vart tog de vägen när konstitutionerna skulle skrivas om och nya politiker väljas? Hör om sextrakasserier, överlevnadsstrategier och hjältinnemod i Jemen, Egypten, Libyen och Syrien - i de arabiska revolternas kölvatten. Vid den här tiden för två år sedan slog den arabiska våren ut i full blom. I land efter land, över hela arabvärlden, gick människor ut på gatorna för att protestera. Mot sina envåldshärskare och för demokrati. Och på många platser var det kvinnorna som stod i centrum för revolutionerna. De stod längst fram i demonstrationstågen och stred för sina rättigheter sida vid sida med männen. Tillsammans  fick de marken att röra sig under fötterna på diktatorer i Tunis, Kairo, Tripoli å Sanaa.  Men sen dess har mycket hänt. På många håll verkar den feministiska festyran ha kommit av sig. Det talas om en islamistisk vinter, om religiösa maktfullkomliga män som helst vill förpassa kvinnor till hemmet, eller nikaben. Som inte alls vill dela med sig av makten när det kommer till kritan och som vill skrämma och straffa kvinnor som tar sig ton mot de nya ledarna. Men - hur stort problem är egenligen islamisterna? Kvinnorna har ju tagit en allt större plats också inom dessa rörelser? Konflikts Lotten Collin var i Jemen under revolutionens crescendo, i oktober 2011. Hon återvände i veckan till huvudstaden Sanaa - där protesterna mot kvarlevorna av den nu avgångne president Ali Abdullah Salehs regim fortfarande pågår. På fredagsbönen mötte hon de islamistiska kvinnorättsaktivisterna Yusra Ahmed å Nadia Abdallah. I veckan hölls en syrisk kvinnokonferens i Stockholm. Kvinnor från oppositionens många falanger möttes för att planera hur kvinnors ställning kan stärkas den dag inbördeskriget är över. Till konferensen kom också kvinnor från andra delar av arabvärlden för att dela med sig av sina erfarenheter från pågående och avslutade revolutioner. Konflikts Kajsa Boglind åkte dit för att spela in ett samtal med tre av deltagarna: Bassra Kodmani, syriska och tidigare taleskvinna för syriska nationella rådet, Sameera Tuwaijri, saudiska och chef för UN Womens kontor i Kairo och Israa Murabit från organisationen Voice of Libyan Women. De tecknade en bild av att kvinnor visserligen blivit mer politiskt aktiva under upproren, men att de ändå inte inkluderas när nya lagar väl ska stiftas å konstitutioner skrivas. Många arabiska kvinnorättsaktivitster betonar att kvinnorna under revolutionerna vågat bryta mot de sociala normerna, och därigenom vidgat sitt handlingsutrymme. Men det är fortfarande inte helt ofarligt att utmana de gränser som finns för kvinnorna i arabvärlden. Det har blivit tydligt i Egypten.  Två år efter revolten som störtade Mubarak har landet kastats in i en turbulent period av politiska kriser, våld och protester. Och för halva befolkningen har revolutionen inte lett till några påtaliga förbättringar alls - tvärtom toppar Egypten den skamliga lista över länder där kvinnors inflytande minskar - enligt den internationella studien Global Gender Gap Report. Egypten har idag en enda kvinnlig minister - det är lika många som på Gamal Abdel Nassers tid på 60-talet - och inte en enda kvinnlig guvernör. I det första parlament som valdes efter revolutionen avskaffades könskvoteringen som tidigare funnits - vilket resulterade i endast 2% kvinnliga ledamöter. Men det som väckt starkast känslor när det gäller Egyptens kvinnor, är de grova sexuella övergrepp som ägt rum - på bland annat Tahrirtorget mitt i Kairo. Sveriges Radios Mellanösternkorrespondent Cecilia Uddén rapporterar därifrån. Men det finns också ljustecken, och tillförsikt. Många kvinnorättsaktivister menar att det faktum att kvinnorna spelat en så stor roll under revolterna kommer leda till att de i fortsättningen vägrar låta sig tystas. Att det på sikt ovillkorligen kommer att leda till det ökade politiska inflytande som så många kvinnor strävar efter. En av de mer hoppfulla rösterna är den jemenitiska protestledaren och fredspristagaren Tawakkol Karman. Konflikts Lotten Collin träffade henne i huvudstaden Sanaa.
