What is the caste system and why it still continues nowadays in India?Dalit women and girls are placed at the bottom of the caste system, why is it so? What are some cultural or religious norms negatively affecting Dalit and Adivasis women and girls? How do they differ from castes in Northern India? Despite all the domestic and international human rights laws focusing on protecting caste marginalized communities, why structural violence and sexual violence persists against them? How can States work through "reforming" centuries old societal/economic/religious organization systems to "fit" current times? Are there limits to what "States" can do to ensure inter communal violence doesn't occur? What if there are "non-negotiables" for societal and ethnic organizations, different than states structures, depending on a country's history?

SummaryToday, I am interviewing Kirthi Jayakumar of World Pulse and founder of the Gender Security Project, and Leila Billing, senior advisor on youth, gender, and social movement building on Feminist Leadership. Leila, along with Natalie Brook, runs an open enrollment Feminist Leadership training program (We are Feminist Leaders), and Kirthi is one of its alumni.As some NGOs and development organizations have embraced, how much of its subversive elements get diluted and cooptated; and how should we think about this? Is there still good being achieved, or is there a real danger here? Kirthi's Bio:Founder of the Gender Security ProjectHead of Training at World PulseDigital Engagement Manager at Every Woman TreatyAdvisor at Women7Editor at Cactus Communications Leila's Bio:Senior advisor on gender, youth, and movement buildingCo-founder of We Are Feminist Leaders training programTrustee at Gender and Development NetworkHead of Partnership to End Child Marriage We discuss: We start from the premise of Srilatha Batliwala's beautiful phrase: "the self as a site of change". Self-reflection and self-awareness have to be at the start. But that is not enough. We also have to put in place concrete organizational practices that embody feminist leadership, such as:Normalization of a focus on staff/volunteer well-being and care – instead of on productivity and numbersOrganizations with zero deadlines and where people co-own the missionOrganizations where everybody has the same base salary, and people receive extra pay based on their caregiving responsibilitiesOrganizations where performance appraisal processes focus more on collaboration skills and attitude/aptitude and on sharing power rather than productivity against set targetsCultures where it is OK/encouraged to bring your full self to work, and where emotions do not need to be checked at the doorOrganizations where joy and dreaming are part of the parlance of the organizationOrganizations comfortable with the messiness of emotions; as well as with the political dimensions of Feminist Leadership Resources:Kirthi's LinkedInKirthi's EmailLeila's LinkedInArticle by Leila in Medium on how grief in the workplace should be addressed by leaders: HERE'We are Feminist Leaders' training program on feminist leadership, co-hosted by Leila Billing: HERE Five Oaks Consulting School's Online course on Virtual Team Leadership skillsYoutube video of this podcastClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social

Sarah Brown talks to Harriet Lamb, Kirthi Jayakumar, Jakaya Kikwete with contributions from United Nations Secretary General António Guterres. In one of his first speeches ten days into his role as the ninth UN Secretary General, António Guterres stated that the world was spending far more time and resources on responding to crises, rather than preventing them. He spoke of rebalancing the world's approach to peace and sustainability, and our responsibility to do more to prevent war and sustain peace. In this episode we hear from inspiring guests, all who make peacebuilding their greatest priority. Listen as they discuss their different approaches to peacebuilding and explore how to apply these to today’s conflicts. Harriet Lamb became CEO of International Alert in November 2015, having previously been CEO of Fairtrade International. International Alert enables people to find peaceful solutions to conflict, believing ‘peace is within our power.’ Jakaya Kikwete was the former President of Tanzania, who spent his years as President working to hold his diverse country of 120 tribes together and avoid conflict. Kirthi Jayakumar is a women's rights activist, social entrepreneur, peace activist, artist, lawyer and writer. She founded The Red Elephant Foundation, an initiative built on storytelling, civilian peace-building and activism for gender equality. Kirthi focuses on gender equality with peacebuilding at the heart, believing one cannot exist without the other.

This week, we bring you our conversation with Kirthi Jayakumar, an Indian women's rights activist, a social entrepreneur, a peace activist, artist, lawyer and writer among many other things. The list of Kirthi’s achievements is almost endless and to put it simply, her hard work landed her the US Presidential Services medal in 2011. But in this interview, we get into all the influences that made her want to do the work that she does today, especially as a lawyer who left her corporate job within just one month, and went on to volunteer with many NGOs including the UN. Kirthi also revealed right at the beginning of our interview that she is a victim of sexual abuse - and this was a surprise to us. The conversation took a completely unexpected turn and here we have an amazing story to share - stay tuned until the end, we promise you, it’s worth it.
