Summary: What does it really mean to lead through a feminist lens? In this episode of NGO Soul + Strategy, I sit down with Jayanta Bora, a seasoned People & Culture expert who has helped shape leadership practices across major NGOs. Drawing from his own matrilinear upbringing and decades of experience, Jayanta explores feminist leadership not as a gendered concept but as a deliberate, power-aware leadership practice rooted in justice and equity.Jayanta's Bio:Over 30 years of experience in People & Culture, OD, OB, and HR in the nonprofit sector.Former Executive Director of Human Resources at Plan International.Visiting faculty at NMIMS Global Access School and Tezpur University.Leadership roles at Oxfam, ChildFund, and other global organizations.We Discuss:What feminist leadership is—and what it is not.The origins of Jayanta's interest in feminist leadership, rooted in a matrilinear culture.Why feminist leadership is not about gender, but about power analysis.The seven behavioral competencies of feminist leadership:Self-awareness and reflectionSelf-care and caring for othersInclusion and dismantling biasAccountable collaborationSharing power and transparent decision makingRespectful feedback and conflict resolutionCourage and zero tolerance for discriminationThe need for more longitudinal research on feminist leadership effectiveness.How feminist leadership differs from traditional or transformational leadership styles.Quotes: “If you practice feminist leadership, you have no need for DEI policies, since intersectionality of identities is baked in.” “I am a male feminist.”Resources: Jayanta's LinkedIn profileLet's stay connectedYou can also watch this episode on YouTube and subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes or other thought pieces are released.Have a challenge or opportunity in your nonprofit or philanthropic organization that you'd like to explore?

Die vier reichsten Menschen in Afrika haben ein Gesamtvermögen von mehr mehr als 57 Mrd. Dollar – damit laut Oxfam so viel wie 750 Millionen Afrikaner, also die Hälfte der Bevölkerung des Kontinents, gemeinsam. Vermögensungleichheit ist ein riesiges Problem auf dem Kontinent und eine "tickende Zeitbombe", sagt Oxfam. Nur unternehmen die Regierungen bisher kaum etwas, um das Vermögen umzuverteilen und so Armut zu reduzieren. Während es im Jahr 2000 noch keine Milliardäre auf dem Kontinent gab, sind es inzwischen 23. Ist Ungleichheit eine tickende Zeitbombe?

The humanitarian system and its principles are being destroyed. Over 1,000 people have been killed seeking aid in the past weeks in Gaza, caught between famine and bullets. With humanitarian actors systematically prevented from reaching people affected by crisis in many contexts, governments are turning to the private sector – security firms, consultants, and ex-military operatives.From Gaza to Sudan to Myanmar, this shift raises urgent questions. Is a privatised model of humanitarianism going to become dominant? What would it mean for humanitarian operations and principles? And how can it be proactively addressed?This episode examines what's driving governments to outsource aid, and what this means for trust, principles, and the future of humanitarian response. Joshua Craze shares insights from his recent investigation into the operations of for-profit US company Fogbow in South Sudan. We hear how these dynamics play out on the ground in the West Bank from Oxfam's Bushra Khalidi, and ODI Global's Dustin Barter unpacks the wider implications for the international aid system.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalDustin Barter, Senior Research Fellow, ODI GlobalJoshua Craze, writer and researcher on South SudanBushra Khalidi, Policy Lead at Oxfam in the Occupied Palestinian TerritoriesRelated resourcesFogbow operations in South Sudan and beyond raise red flags for faltering aid system (The New Humanitarian)Beyond the reset: Five priorities for genuine humanitarian transformation (The New Humanitarian)What does the failure of humanitarianism in Gaza mean?

More than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups are warning of mass starvation in Gaza and pressing for governments to take action. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Save the Children and Oxfam are among the signatories of a joint statement that says their colleagues and the people they serve are "wasting away". Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies into the territory, rejected the organisations' statement and accused them of "serving the propaganda of Hamas". Yolande Knell is the BBC's Middle East correspondent in Jerusalem and joined Kylie Pentelow for more on the situation there.Dame Imelda Staunton, of Vera Drake and Harry Potter fame, and her daughter Bessie Carter, of Bridgerton fame, are starring as mother and daughter in Mrs Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw, currently in the West End. The play explores the morals of earning money from prostitution. They join Kylie to talk about the relevance of the play today, and tell us what's it like acting on stage together for the first time in their careers.  Yasmin Khan is an award-winning food and travel writer. Her fusion of recipes and reportage combines the cuisines of the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean and her new book, Sabzi: Fresh Vegetarian Recipes for Everyday, is her first meat-free cookbook. It was born out of overcoming the struggles of early motherhood and breastfeeding in particular. She tells Kylie about finding solace in the sustenance and soothing properties of the Iranian food she grew up on and adapting it for health and climate-conscious modern living.Cyber flashing is when a stranger sends an unsolicited explicit image or video. When musician Anna Downes was sent naked photos and videos by a man called Ben Gunnery last year, she reported it to the police, who took a statement but were very slow to take it any further. In May, he was found guilty of intentionally sending the images to cause alarm, distress and humiliation and earlier this week Gunnery was given a two-year community order, including 150 hours of unpaid work. If he re-offends he'll be sent to prison. Anna Downes joins Kylie along with Nicola Goodwin from BBC Midlands Investigations team.Producer: Corinna Jones Presenter: Kylie Pentelow

US Senator Mark Kelly has called on Israel to stop attacking Palestinians seeking food and aid in Gaza. “Israel must stop these attacks on people seeking aid,” he posted on X, stressing that children are starving. His appeal comes as medical sources report at least 85 Palestinians killed in fresh Israeli strikes. More than 100 aid groups, including MSF, Oxfam, and Save the Children, are sounding the alarm on “mass starvation” in Gaza. They say aid warehouses are full but blocked from reaching desperate families. The coalition is calling for an immediate ceasefire, opening of all land crossings, and free UN-led aid deliveries. Their warning coincides with a US envoy's European trip to discuss a potential truce and aid corridor. The Syrian government has deployed buses to evacuate families trapped in unrest-hit Sweida. State media showed convoys entering the southern province to transport civilians to safety. Violence has displaced thousands, with neighbouring Daraa province reporting a steady influx of fleeing families. The US has announced it will leave UNESCO for the third time, effective December 31, 2026. Washington cited the agency's admission of Palestine and what it called a “globalist, ideological agenda” at odds with its “America First” policy. A State Department spokesperson said continued membership is “not in the national interest.” The move marks another sharp break in US engagement with international institutions. Türkiye has showcased its first hypersonic missile, the Tayfun Block-4, at the IDEF 2025 defence fair in Istanbul. Roketsan, the developer, also unveiled six other advanced systems at the event. The Tayfun Block-4, weighing over seven tonnes, can destroy high-value targets like air defence systems and command centres from long distances. Officials say the missile marks a major leap for Türkiye's defence industry and long-range strike capabilities.

C dans l'air du 26 juin 2025 - Orages, canicule: un été à risque?Arbres arrachés, routes inondées, toitures abimées ou envolées, pylônes tordus par la violence des rafales… Le réveil est brutal ce jeudi matin dans de nombreuses communes du pays, balayées dans la nuit par des orages d'une rare intensité.Le bilan est lourd : deux morts — un adolescent de 12 ans, tué par la chute d'un arbre à Picquebos, près de Montauban, et un homme de 59 ans, conducteur de quad, en Mayenne —, dix-sept blessés, 100 000 foyers privés d'électricité. Les dégâts matériels sont innombrables.Pourtant, l'événement avait été anticipé. Météo-France avait placé une cinquantaine de départements en vigilance orange, mercredi, pour orages ou canicule. Mais l'alerte n'a pas suffi à prévenir les drames. Et une fois les vents tombés, une autre tempête s'annonce : celle des démarches, des déclarations de sinistres, des indemnisations, et pour certains, de la répétition infernale des catastrophes.Inondations, sécheresses, canicules, gels tardifs… Les épisodes climatiques extrêmes se succèdent à un rythme alarmant. La France, qui se réchauffe plus vite que la moyenne mondiale — +1,7 °C depuis 1900 en métropole —, n'est plus un simple témoin du changement climatique, mais en subit déjà de plein fouet les conséquences.Face à cette réalité, plusieurs ONG (Greenpeace, Notre Affaire à Tous, Oxfam) et onze citoyens sinistrés ont décidé de passer à l'action. Ils ont annoncé un recours devant le Conseil d'État pour contraindre l'État à renforcer son Plan national d'adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC-3), jugé largement insuffisant.Pas question de demander de l'argent : ils exigent des actes. Des mesures concrètes, ambitieuses, à la hauteur des enjeux, alors que les reculs environnementaux se multiplient depuis le début de l'année, en France comme ailleurs.Les plaignants dénoncent un État qui manque à ses obligations. Parmi eux : des agriculteurs aux champs noyés, des familles dont les maisons se fissurent, des habitants privés d'eau, des personnes vulnérables écrasées par les vagues de chaleur.Le gouvernement, lui, assure avoir anticipé les évolutions à venir, avec un PNACC-3 qui vise à préparer infrastructures, transports et agriculture à un monde plus chaud de 4 °C d'ici 2100. Mais pour les requérants, ce plan est trop tardif, trop timide, trop éloigné de l'urgence.LES EXPERTS :- François GEMENNE - Professeur à HEC, président du conseil scientifique - Fondation pour la nature et l'homme- Nicolas BERROD - Journaliste au service Futurs, santé-médecine et climat Le Parisien - Aujourd'hui en France- Olivier MOUSTACAKIS - Directeur général d'Assurland.com- CHLOÉ NABÉDIAN - Journaliste spécialiste des questions climatiques PRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

À Goma, le directeur de l'ONG internationale OXFAM pour le Congo lance un cri d'alarme : « Si Donald Trump ne rouvre pas l'USAID pour le Congo-Kinshasa, quatre millions de personnes vont être en situation de détresse et de nombreux enfants vont mourir de maladie et de malnutrition ». Autre fléau à venir, une épidémie de choléra. Cinq cents cas sont déjà signalés dans la capitale du Nord-Kivu. Le docteur Manenji Mangundu est le directeur d'OXFAM pour la RDC. Actuellement en mission dans l'Est du pays, en ligne de Goma, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Manenji Mangundu, vous êtes à Goma. Deux mois après la décision de Donald Trump, est-ce que vous en sentez déjà les premiers effets sur le terrain ?Manenji Mangundu : oui, on est à Goma. Après la fin du financement de l'USAID, on réalise véritablement comment la population est dans le besoin. La situation est très précaire, parce que la population n'a pas accès à l'eau. C'est difficile d'accéder aux soins et aux médicaments. Les hôpitaux étaient financés par le Bureau Humanitaire d'Assistance, GHA, qui fait partie de l'USAID. Les populations souffrent de la pénurie de nourriture, ce qui inquiète énormément. La progression du taux de malnutrition inquiète beaucoup les femmes par rapport à leurs enfants qui sont très mal nourris. L'autre chose, c'est le choléra. L'absence d'eau potable provoque des cas de choléra qui sont en nette augmentation. Par exemple, on a presque 500 cas de choléra à Goma. Cela nous inquiète beaucoup.Quelle était jusqu'à présent la contribution de l'USAID pour nourrir toutes ces populations ?Leur contribution, c'était 70% du financement total pour l'œuvre humanitaire. C'est-à- dire, 900 millions de dollars américains étaient financés par l'USAID.900 millions de dollars américains par an ?Oui, par an.Et si le gel de l'USAID devient définitif, est-ce qu'il y a des personnes au Nord-Kivu, au Sud-Kivu qui vont être en danger de mort ? Oui. On constate déjà des cas de morts. Il y a beaucoup d'enfants qui sont mal nourris, mais ils n'accèdent pas aux médicaments. Ils n'accèdent pas à la nourriture, ils n'accèdent pas à l'eau potable, ils sont en train de mourir. Mais maintenant, tu vois, avec les difficultés d'accéder à certains villages, il est même difficile d'avoir les statistiques. Mais beaucoup d'enfants sont en train de mourir.À lire aussiEst de la RDC: «Plus de 900 corps ont été enterrés par la Croix-Rouge et le CICR»Et ces enfants qui meurent, c'est dans la ville de Goma ou bien dans la montagne autour de Goma ?Certains, c'est dans la ville de Goma et d'autres autour de Goma. Il y a beaucoup d'endroits comme dans la zone de Masisi, la zone de Mweso et la zone de Minova vers Akalé au Sud-Kivu. Il y a aussi la zone de Rutshuru.Quelle est la situation, docteur, dans les hôpitaux de Goma ?Il y a beaucoup de malades qui sont là ! Il y a beaucoup de gens qui sont en train de chercher les médicaments.Jusqu'à présent, de nombreux malades du SIDA recevaient des antirétroviraux grâce à la Fondation Bill Clinton, qui était financée par l'USAID. Est-ce que beaucoup de gens risquent aujourd'hui de mourir du SIDA faute de traitements ?Oui, je pense que les gens courent ce risque. Parce que si le financement venait à être suspendu pour les médicaments du sida, s'ils ne peuvent pas y accéder, ils vont mourir.Est-ce que vous pouvez évaluer le nombre de personnes qui risquent de mourir de faim et de maladie si l'USAID reste suspendue ?Avec les financements humanitaires, ce sont 6,5 millions de personnes qui étaient assistées.Six millions et demi ?Oui. Maintenant, si on regarde, 70% du financement, c'était l'USAID. C'est-à- dire, 70% des 6,5 millions de personnes sont à risque.Elles sont directement impactées, ce qui fait plus de 4 millions de personnes, c'est ça ?Oui.Donc, vous estimez que, dans l'Est de la RDC, au moins 4 millions de personnes risquent d'être impactées par la suspension de l'USAID, c'est ça ?Affirmatif.Alors, c'est à la fin du mois de janvier que le président Trump a annoncé la suspension de l'USAID pour 3 mois, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à la fin du mois d'avril. Est-ce que vous avez l'espoir que cette aide reprenne, ou est-ce qu'aujourd'hui, vous êtes désespéré, est-ce que vous n'y croyez plus ?Nous, on l'espère. Parce qu'on est en train de passer le message pour dire que vraiment la population a besoin de l'aide. Et vraiment, si on ne peut pas les aider, c'est comme si on était en train de les laisser mourir. Ils n'ont pas accès à l'eau potable, or, ils ont besoin de ça. Et tous les malades, avec lesquels on a discuté, souffrent des épidémies de choléra, de Mpox, et peut-être d'Ebola. S'ils n'accèdent pas à l'eau potable, c'est un problème. C'est le moment de vraiment appuyer la population. Parce que c'était d'abord la guerre qui les a impactées et maintenant, c'est la suspension des autres financements qui a amené un très gros impact. Si on avait seulement la guerre et la disponibilité des financements, ce serait un peu mieux.Non seulement il y a la guerre, mais en plus, il y a la rupture de l'aide américaine ?Exact.Et pour les populations, c'est terrible ?Oui.À lire aussiÀ la Une: Goma coupée du monde

Oxfam has teamed up with An Post for a new scheme where you can use the national postal service to pick up your donated clothes and other goods, for free! But, how does it all work?Joining Seán to discuss is Mark Sweeney, Donated Goods Strategy Manager for Oxfam Ireland…

Caroline Lucas was elected as the first ever MP for the Green Party and served as their leader three times. Having completed a PhD in English, worked for Oxfam, and been involved in local Green Party politics, she went on to serve in the European Parliament for a decade. In 2010, she was elected to Parliament as the MP for Brighton Pavilion and, during her 14 years in Westminster, the Green Party went from 0.9% of the national vote to 6.4%. Although she stepped down, a record 4 Green Party MPs were elected at the 2024 election. On the podcast - the 150th episode of Women With Balls - Caroline tells Katy Balls about growing up with different politics to her Conservative-voting parents, why her views on nuclear weapons haven't changed, and whether the left can be patriotic. She also talks about being a peer of Nigel Farage in Brussels, what it's like being the sole parliamentary party representative, and why she never considered joining the Labour Party. She argues that there is a political urgency for the left to discuss ‘Englishness', as outlined in her bestselling book Another England: How To Reclaim Our National Story, which is available now in paperback.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Silicon Valley's biggest power players traded in their hoodies for suits and ties this week as they sat front and center to watch Donald Trump take the oath of office again.Seated in front of the incoming cabinet were Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and Trump confidant and leader of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Sam Altman from OpenAI, and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew also looked on.For an industry once skeptical of Trump, this dramatic transformation in political allegiance portends changes for the country — and the world. From the relaxing of hate speech rules on Meta platforms to the mere hourslong ban of TikTok to the billions of government dollars being pledged to build data centers to power AI, it is still only the beginning of this realignment.On this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, Justin Hendrix, the CEO and editor of Tech Policy Press, and Intercept political reporter Jessica Washington dissect this shift. “Three of the individuals seated in front of the Cabinet are estimated by Oxfam in its latest report on wealth inequality are on track to potentially become trillionaires in the next just handful of years: Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,” says Hendrix. “Musk is estimated to be the first trillionaire on the planet, possibly as early as 2027.”Washington says there's more at stake than just personal wealth. “These are people who view themselves as world-shapers, as people who create reality in a lot of ways. Aligning themselves with Trump and with power in this way is not just about their financial interests, it's about pushing their vision of the world.”To hear more of this conversation, check out this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing.
