Acclaimed actor, activist and 2023 Sydney Peace Prize-winner Nazanin Boniadi shares her dream of a 'a free, prosperous and secular democratic Iran'. Iranian-born actress Nazanin Boniadi has had an impressive onscreen career, including leading roles in the Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Homeland. But it's her major role as a human rights advocate that has led to her most recent recognition. Over more than two decades, Boniadi has worked tirelessly to elevate the voices and struggles of Iranian citizens and activists, fighting for the country's democracy and freedom – particularly for women and children. She has advocated at the highest levels, including at the UN Security Council, the US Senate Human Rights Caucus, and in the British Parliament. Boniadi was selected as the recipient of the 2023 Sydney Peace Prize for ‘lending a powerful voice to support Iranian women and girls and their #WomanLifeFreedom movement, and for using a high-profile platform to promote freedom and justice in Iran'. At an unmissable event at The Capitol in Melbourne, Boniadi delivered a stirring keynote lecture on democracy and women's rights, followed by a Q&A hosted by Mahsa Hajjari. This event was recorded on Tuesday 31 October 2023. It was presented by the Sydney Peace Foundation and RMIT Culture.

A two-day global summit on AI safety wraps up - This year's Sydney Peace Prize winner shares her passion with school children - And in sport, the Matildas a step closer to their goal of booking a spot in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games...
There are many ways to challenge the AI juggernaut that has been unleashed on the world, but Tracey Spicer (multi-Walkley winning journalist, feminist) tackles it through a gender lens. In her latest book, Man-Made, she shows how the unresolved biases that exist in the world today are being fed into the emerging AI. The implications of this bigotry being embedded into our future are profound and could render any progressive work being done to address consent, pay gaps and so on moot. Tracey has won two prestigious Walkley Awards in recognition of her journalism work, was awarded the NSW Premier's Woman of the Year, accepted the Sydney Peace Prize with Tarana Burke for the Me Too Movement, and won the national award for Excellence in Women's Leadership. We talk about sexbot design, the significance of Siri et al being female, how our period tracker apps put us in danger and how she wrote this book with a crippling case of long covid.SHOW NOTESGet hold of Man-Made: How the bias of the past is being built into the futureCatch up on the Wild chat with ChatGPT expert and linguist Emily M.

Three years ago, Tracey was named the NSW Premier's Woman of the Year, accepted the Sydney Peace Prize alongside Tarana Burke for the Me Too Movement, and won the national award for Excellence in Women's Leadership through Women and Leadership Australia. Today, most of Tracey's days are spent at doctors appointments. She's a multiple Walkley Award winning author and broadcaster who has anchored programs all over Australia. We're sure she didn't imagine that in July 2022 she'd be on No Filter, speaking about how she became one of the unlucky ones: a sufferer of the dreaded Long Covid. Long Covid means your symptoms have persisted for longer than 12 weeks after initial infection. What's interesting though, is that there might be new symptoms. You could feel like you're actually getting sick with something else entirely. And for some, their condition continues to deteriorate. Tracey has been sick for 204 days. And here's what she thinks you should know. THE END BITS: With thanks to Tracey Spicer, read about her experience with Long Covid here: Feedback? We're listening!

The visionary, next-generation organizer Ai-jen Poo says this of Tarana Burke: “There are just so many layers of hope that she brings to the world and to people like me, to survivors, to all kinds of communities.” Ai-jen and Tarana are the conversation partners for this episode of The Future of Hope. And what a conversation it is. We listen in on a brilliant friendship that has powered and sustained two extraordinary women who are leading defining movements of this generation that call us to our highest humanity. Ai-jen has been long ahead of a cultural curve we are all on now — of seeing the urgent calling to update and transform not just how we value the caregiving workforce of millions, but how we value care itself as a society. Tarana founded the ‘me too.' Movement. What you are about to hear is intimate, revelatory, and rooted in trust and care. It's also an invitation to all of us, to imagine and build a more graceful way to remake the world.Ai-jen Poo co-founded and leads The National Domestic Workers Alliance, is the director of Caring Across Generations, and co-founder of Supermajority.

Honouring who you truly are takes courage and conviction, especially in the cut throat media industry, where beauty is often a woman's currency. Award winning author, journalist and broadcaster, Tracey Spicer, has inspired many with her courage to embrace her authenticity, understand the power of her story and age gracefully. Tracey has anchored national programs for ABC TV and radio, Network Ten and Sky News. In 2019 she was named the NSW Premier's Woman of the Year, accepted the Sydney Peace Prize for the Me Too movement, and won the national award for Excellence in Women's Leadership through Women & Leadership Australia. Her first book, The Good Girl Stripped Bare, became a bestseller within weeks of publication, while her TEDx Talk, The Lady Stripped Bare, has attracted more than six million views worldwide. In 2018, Tracey was chosen as one of the Australian Financial Review's 100 Women of Influence and is forging ahead with her next powerful step to write a book on AI bias. For her 30 years of media and charity work, Tracey Spicer has been awarded the Order of Australia, an award which recognises Australians who have demonstrated outstanding service or exceptional achievement. However her years of dedication to the media spotlight haven't been void of challenges. As she grew out of her 20's, Tracey was replaced by younger broadcasters without the wrinkles and in her late 30's, Tracey was sacked from Channel 10 due to maternity discrimination. Instead of walking away defeated, Tracey turned this challenge into an opportunity and has been advocating for fundamental change and equality ever since. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the three powerful steps Tracey Spicer has taken to own the power of who she is, despite the media industry saying she is “too old” and “too grey”. I ask Tracey about her journey of embracing her grey hair and the liberation she has experienced by being her authentic self. We talk about the age and gender bias that exists within society and how we must continue to have powerful conversations in order to create fundamental change. It often takes devastating circumstances for us to look within to discover who we really are and what makes our hearts sing. Tracey shares her insights on discovering what sparks joy in your life and how to find balance each day through mindfulness practices.

In the sixth and final episode of the Courage My Friends podcast special series, we welcome eco-feminist, scientist, author and celebrated global climate justice leader, Dr. Vandana Shiva. Our discussion takes us beyond borders to the global realties of this pandemic -- a pandemic that is most acutely felt by low-income nations who must contend with deep legacies of poverty amid the callous disregard of a global economic system that continues to leave the south behind. According to Shiva: "We need to see the multiple pandemics right now. The pandemic of COVID. But there's a pandemic of hunger. There's a pandemic of unemployment and shutting down of small local businesses. There's a pandemic of heartlessness and fear." Where "these new diseases are really a result of invasions into forests," the stage had long been set for (and what many are now describing as) the age of pandemics -- COVID-19 being its most recent and opportunistic arrival. Bats and pangolins aside, the disastrous impacts, accompanying crises and worrying predictions of the current pandemic are the result of distinctly human-made systems. Systems firmly rooted within what Shiva sees as the death spiral of modern capitalism. "I talk about this as an anti-life ideology that has been kept in place by force for over 500 years. And now at the time where the pandemic should be making us put life and care and mutuality and cooperation at center stage, that's precisely the time where this anti-life philosophy is being put on fast-forward." For the world's marginalized, especially those in the global south, this is part of the ongoing legacy of conquest and colonialism. "You know, I've never found a day when capitalism was born. I have found a process in which it was crafted. And that process is colonialism. Basically creating a civilizing mission. Giving yourself the right to invade other countries. And then declaring the land, the wealth, the economies as yours. And collecting rents and revenues from it." From structural violence -- fomented through centuries of conquest and colonization, decades of exploitative structural adjustment, debt, climate destruction and continuing plunder by the global north, its corporations and "philanthro-imperialist" billionaires, to the current vaccine apartheid, Shiva speaks to how the Global South stands at the forefront of the converging crises of COVID, Capitalism and Climate. "First you spread, in irresponsible ways, these new pandemics, because of a globalized neoliberal limitless greed system. And then you deny people treatment. This is what's happening right now. And, you know, instead of governments being able to take care of their national health systems, they're having to fight patent battles at WTO." Established in the early 90s by the Dunkel Draft, the World Trade Organization (WTO) together with the IMF and World Bank, now set the rules for global trade. Regularly finding in favour of global north economies and multinationals -- often involving the exploitation of global south markets, resources and labour -- the WTO as Shiva sees it is nothing less than, "an organization created for recolonization." As southern fields continue to feed northern appetites for 21st century cash crops, i.e. GMO (genetically modified) Soya and BT (pest-resistant) cotton; local farmers contend with hunger, poverty, desperation, and the collapse of local agricultural economies begun by the Green Revolution decades ago. The genetic material (plant, animal, mineral) of the global south and traditional knowledge of Indigenous peoples the world over continue to be stolen, misappropriated and commercialized through the biopiracy of patent and Intellectual Property systems, allowing multinationals to own the very building blocks of life -- from seed to animal to water and alas to vaccines. As Shiva says, "The race for vaccines started even before the vaccines were there." And where the ensuing vaccine apartheid leaves India, the world's largest democracy gasping for breath and Africa, the cradle of humanity, at a less than one per cent vaccination rate, for Shiva this deserves nothing less than the strongest condemnation. "The big debate in WTO right now, the whole issue of patents on vaccines and denying people the right to survive is... writing their death-knell…This to me is genocide," she said. The economic orthodoxy of neoliberalism, placing the private over the public, profit over people, the corporate over the commons and industry over environment, does indeed feel like a reprise of colonialism -- but with a twist: "First of all, colonialism was about commerce. But commerce by force, commerce with military might. And commerce with a letter patent -- you know, it was a patent in involved! Columbus was given a letter patent, which according to the King and Queen, they had the power to do this from the Pope who got it from God directly. And the difference between that colonization and this colonization is the billionaires are the gods. The billionaires are the Popes -- they write the religions. The billionaires are the Kings and the Queens. They rule the world." Those billionaires who are also prolific names in charity and global "problem-solving," for Shiva, they are merely philanthro-imperialists, pretending "to be giving when they're actually grabbing." As she speaks to us surrounded by sickness and death (of what will eventually manifest as the Delta variant around the world), for Shiva, this moment reveals the true and horrifying face of colonial capitalism and its legacy, "in the virus of greed combined with a virus of impunity and of indifference." However, where she is also witness to farmers fighting for food sovereignty, Sikh langars offering food and oxygen to those in need and global south nations and their allies coming together to challenge patent monopolies held by multinationals, this also becomes a moment of hope. A hope borne of solidarity and resistance: "We need a new solidarity with the Earth. We need a new solidarity with Indigenous people. And most importantly...a leadership of Indigenous cultures. The leadership of women. The leadership of working people to bring us out of these multiple crises, which have only one outcome - extinction of humanity and collapse of ecosystems." In this age of borderless pandemics, climate destruction and global capitalism, is this a time of reckoning, redress and decolonization of the very systems that brought us to this point? Where the well-being of one is intertwined with the well-being of all, can we finally engage in a meaningful solidarity within and between nations? Can we begin to build regenerative and circular economies that protect the planet and all of its peoples? Where Shiva long ago decided that she could "take on the empire with a little seed," what possibilities lie within a global solidarity movement intent on growing "gardens of hope?" Host and co-producer Resh Budhu begins the conversation with a focus on India during the onset of the deadly 2nd wave of Covid-19 in early May, 2021.

With Samoa in political deadlock since its elections last month, Lefaoali'i Dion Enari, PhD candidate at Bond University exploring Indigenous and diasporic culture, gets on the line with Dylan and Kulja to break down the political situation in Samoa. The incumbent caretaker Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi from the Human Rights Protection Party has been accused of attempting to retain power from the majority FAST party, which was expected to form a new government under Prime Minister-elect Fiame Naomi Mataʻafa, who won the election by one seat.Then, Chairperson of the Lowitja Institute, advocate for the health of Australia's First Peoples' and Alyawarre woman, Aunty Pat Anderson AO, calls in to discuss the Uluru statement from The Heart, which won the Sydney Peace Prize.And, as “dissident shareholders” capture a third seat on ExxonMobil's board of directors and courts around the world rule for climate action, Cam Walker from Friends of the Earth breaks down these historic cases and events, and what they mean for addressing climate change.
Four years since it was first presented to the Australian people, the Uluru Statement from the Heart has been awarded the Sydney Peace Prize. The document's two pillars, a Constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament and a Makarrata process to investigate truth-telling and treaty-making have yet to be acted on at a federal level.
Today marks the beginning of Reconciliation week, a yearly reminder of the effort needed still to bridge the gap between black and white Australians and to recognise First Nations people and their connection to the land. Central to that journey is the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which yesterday was declared the winner of the 2021 Sydney Peace Prize.

Vandana Shiva – Bill Gates: Planetary Savior or Demonic Force?Conspiracy Theories vs. Con’s Piracy FactsAired Tuesday, March 9, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with World-Renowned Activist Vandana Shiva, Author of “Oneness vs. the 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom”“Humanity is facing an existential crisis – do we want to continue to exist or not?” — Swami BeyondanandaBill Gates has become at least as much of a controversial figure as Donald Trump, particularly now that the question of massive and mandatory vaccinations have emerged in the wake of the COVID crisis.One narrative paints him as a benevolent benefactor determined to use technology to save humanity from disease and starvation.The other narrative portrays him as a megalomaniacal technocrat bent on owning all the world’s seeds, controlling our food supply, and subjecting the world’s population to mass surveillance, top-down control, and depopulation.Which of these is right, or better yet, which is closer to the truth?This week on Wiki Politiki, we are honored to have with us the world-renowned food and justice activist Vandana Shiva, who has been tracking Bill Gates’ activities on behalf of the “green revolution” – hint, it is neither – for decades, and she has some strong evidence-based opinions. In other words, she can help us move past the conspiracy theories with some con’s piracy facts. Because of time zone challenges, we are re-playing an interview I did with her last fall, and it is more pertinent than ever. Dr. Vandana Shiva trained as a Physicist. In 1982 she founded an independent institute, the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times.In 1991 she founded Navdanya, a national movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seeds. Her books, ‘The Violence of Green Revolution’ and ‘Monocultures of the Mind’, have become basic challenges to the dominant paradigm of non-sustainable, reductionist agricultural practices. Time Magazine identified her as an environmental hero in 2003. She received the Right Livelihood Award in 1993 and the 2010 Sydney Peace Prize. She is a member of the World Future Council. Her most recent book, Oneness vs. the 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom, exposes the 1%’s model of philanthrocapitalism, which is about deploying unaccountable money to bypass democratic structures, derail diversity, and impose totalitarian ideas based on One Science, One Agriculture, and One History. Instead, Shiva calls for the resurgence of:• Real knowledge• Real intelligence• Real wealth• Real work• Real well-beingIf you are ready to address some inconvenient truths that shall set us free, please join us this Tuesday, March 9th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.You can find Vandana Shiva online at https://www.navdanya.org/site/And order her most recent book here: https://www.amazon.com/Oneness-vs-1-Shattering-Illusions/dp/1645020398Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

On this our 50th episode we welcome Dr. Vandana Shiva. A fearless advocate for peasant farmers throughout the world, Dr. Shiva is one of the most outspoken critics of industrial agriculture and its dire environmental and spiritual consequences. She is the founder of Navdanya, an India based organization that advocates for biodiversity, seed sovereignty and food independence. Navdanya runs an organic farm in the foothills of the Himalays and counts among its members millions of farmers across India, where the group has set up more than 100 seed banks. She is the recipient of many awards, including the Right Livelihood Award and the Sydney Peace Prize. She is also the author of several groundbreaking books, including Making Peace with the Earth, Soil Not Oil and Who Really Feeds the World?. Her latest book is called Oneness vs the 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom. In an age of growing economic inequality, globalization and relentless corporate propaganda, we need people like Dr. Shiva who are willing to stand up and speak the truth.

The #metoo hashtag was a moment, sparked in when the actor Alyssa Milano used it on Twitter in October 2017 in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein revelations. That tweet went viral. More than 19 million people around the world have since used the hashtag to share their stories of sexual harassment, abuse and violence. But Me Too is a about more than social media. Me Too is a movement, founded by the American activist Tarana Burke in 2006 to help survivors of sexual violence, particularly Black women and girls, and other young women of colour from low wealth communities, find pathways to healing.

In an earlier episode of this podcast, Standing Your Ground, I interviewed three women occupying a house in the inner west of Sydney, Australia. The house was slated for demolition and the four of us sat in the grounds of the house around a table, with imaginary cups of tea, until we were arrested. The purpose was to protest against Westconnex, an urban motorway extension in Sydney. The research indicates that urban motorway extensions, as well as being exorbitantly expensive, are damaging to health, community and environment, and actually encourage more cars onto the road. Based on a still from a Russ Hermann video, Janet, a Sydney-based artist, created a painting depicting the four of us at the occupation. Inspired by This Changes Everything and a talk given by Naomi Klein as part of the Sydney Peace Prize, Janet entered into environmental activism and non-violent direct action about a year ago. She became involved with the anti-Westconnex campaign in Sydney, through No Westconnex Public Transport and Save Sydney Park. In this interview, Janet talks about how she uses her artistic passion and skills in her efforts to generate meaningful action on climate change, global warming and reducing the use of fossil fuels.

On this special holiday edition of the Global Research News Hour, we salute the 44th annual Earth Day with a speech given in Winnipeg recently by outspoken anti-globalization author, environmental activist, and eco-feminist Dr. Vandana Shiva.Born in Dehradun India in the foothills of the Himalaya, Shiva got her training at the University of Western Ontario in Canada as a physicist. In 1982, she shifted her focus to inter-disciplinary research in science, technology and environmental policy and moved back to India. Dr. Shiva is the founder of Navdanya, a participatory research initiative dedicated to the preservation of native crop species, the rejuvenation of indigenous culture and knowledge, and to support and direction for environmental activism. She is the author of more than 20 books including Soil Not Oil: Environmental Justice in an Age of Climate Crisis; Stolen Harvest: The Hijacking of the Global Food Supply; Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace; and Staying Alive: Women, Ecology, and Development. She is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades including the 1993 Right Livelihood Award (Alternative Nobel Prize) and the 2010 Sydney Peace Prize. On March 29, 2014, Dr. Shiva spoke at the North Centennial Community Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada at the invitation of a local collective known as Power House Producers in association with the Women's and Gender Studies Students Association, and the University of Winnipeg's Womyn's Centre. Her speech followed a so-called Feast of forgotten foods which highlighted a meal prepared by local activists with organic ingredients all provided by local farmers for an audience of about a hundred people. Preceding the talk was an announcement about a Bill moving through the Canadian House of Commons known as Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act which critics argue undermines traditional farm practices by ensuring the intellectual property rights over new varieties of seeds to the plant breeders that generate them and force farmers to pay a royalty to them when crops from those seeds go to market.
When natural resources like timber, water and mineral deposits can be extracted from ecosystems, they become assets with dollar values that can be bought and sold internationally and enable developing countries to grow and participate in the global economy. If growth is the key to emerging from poverty, then this might seem like a good thing. But what if these same resources being sold to richer nations come from an ecosystem that people depend on for their livelihood? What if new growth is actually proportional to the creation of new poverty? The cult of 'growth' has dictated policy for decades. But if well-being, not growth, is our goal, selling resources that bring long term wellbeing to communities for short term gain is a very bad deal. Hard as it may be for the West to understand, protecting the ecological resources of communities might be more important than GDP figures. Vandana Shiva holds a PhD in physics, but is best known as an environmental, and anti-globalisation activist and as a leading figure of 'ecofeminism.' Shiva is based in India and is the author of over twenty books, including Staying Alive and Biopiracy. She is a former recipient of the Sydney Peace Prize. Chair: Simran Sethi is an award-winning Indian American journalist. She is currently undergoing a research fellowship at the University of Melbourne in Australia on the loss of agricultural biodiversity in our food system.
Aired 12/26/10 Dr. Vandana Shiva is a physicist, ecologist, activist, editor, and author of many books.
