Episode 1898: Vicki Cook and Amy Blacklock break down why saying yes to unpaid work can undermine your business, time, and income, especially for women already carrying the weight of unpaid labor. They share clear, thoughtful criteria to help freelancers decide when working for free might serve their goals, and when it's better to walk away. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://womenwhomoney.com/work-for-free-exposure-experience/ Quotes to ponder: "Working for exposure is not the 'free advertising' that people claim it to be." "You aren't making money from paying customers when you choose to spend time producing free content, goods, or other services." "Freelancers striving to build their dream career don't work for free simply to help out others."

Gaza newborns ‘scarred by war before first breath' by preventable maternal malnutrition: UNICEFSudan: Dangerous ordeal of El Fasher's escapees is not over, warns UNFPASeven in 10 women activists have been abused online: UN Women

What does it feel like when your photos are taken, manipulated and shared online without your consent? That's the reality for 23-year-old Debra Nashipae, a Kenyan student and aspiring musician whose images were turned into deepfake pornography – a form of digital abuse that experts say is increasing rapidly. According to UN Women, 90–95% of all deepfakes online are non-consensual pornographic images, and around 90% of those depict women. Their report also highlights that half of the world's women and girls lack legal protection against this kind of digital violence. In this episode of Focus on Africa: The Conversation, host Nkechi Ogbonna spoke to Debra about her experience, along with her lawyer, Mercy Mutemi, who is advocating for justice and better protection of digital rights.

  The World Bank reports that, "today, more than half of the world's population – over 4 billion people – lives in cities." It also estimates that this shift is going to continue, in fact to DOUBLE to nearly 70% – or 7 out of every 10 people will live in cities by 2050. That's only 25 years away. At the same time, extreme weather events are increasingly devastating cities – we have all witnesses how Hurricane Melissa decimated Jamaica last week, for example, destroying home and businesses, schools, houses of worship, government buildings, everything. So what can, should and ARE cities doing to keep their people and economies safe and climate resilient?  What's working and what can we learn from them?  Today we're going to find out from four extraordinary women from across the globe."

As we think about systems change, it's all too easy to get caught up the technical design of new institutions and 'system architecture'. But if we are being asked to consider a qualitatively different way governing, convening, educating, distributing resources - all of the fundamentals of society -then perhaps we can start by asking: What has LOVE got to do with any of it? As I share at the start of this episode, it's been clear to me that it's difficult to bring the concept of love into such discussions. So I really wanted to explore this a few courageous and amazing individuals, who I knew would be up for it! In this episode you'll hear from four amazing people working in quite different sectors - from existential risk, climate resilience to cognitive science to leadership and communications to teacher training and education. But all united by the willingness to talk about love as central to their work. Dr. Laura Penn is an expert in leadership communication and the speaking arts.

In this episode of War & Peace, Elissa and guest host Alissa de Carbonnel are joined by Sabine Freizer Gunes, UN Women representative for Ukraine, about how the war in Ukraine has shaped and amplified gender inequalities in Ukraine and how women and women's organisations are responding. They discuss the mood in Ukraine as it enters its fourth winter of full-scale war and the toll the conflict is taking on women from higher rates of sexual and gender-based violence, mounting mental health pressures and economic insecurity. They explore how women are navigating both the challenges and opportunities the war has created, how the Ukrainian government is addressing these issues, and how women's organisations are affected by aid cuts. As Crisis Group marks its 30th anniversary, they also discuss how women's roles in politics and peacemaking in Ukraine and beyond are evolving amid a global pushback against gender equality and women's rights.For more, check out our Gender and Conflict and Ukraine pages.

Before we get back to UN Women's grift, we're going to continue looking at the USAIDs attempt at a soft coup. Is there anybody left who HASN'T tried to undermine the current, male-elected administration? How much of their antics before we decide we've had enough?

“In this fragile environment, withdrawal of resources and capacity is imprudent at best, catastrophic at worst,” UN Women chief Sima Sami Bahous told the Security Council, stressing that South Sudan's gender-based violence crisis - threatening 2.7 million people -makes continued peacekeeping support essential. Bahous said UN Mission in South Sudan documented 260 cases of conflict-related sexual violence in 2024, including “rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced abortion and forced marriage, with the highest number recorded in Western Equatoria State.” She described a recent incident in Warrap State in which armed youth surrounded a girls' boarding school seeking revenge for a cattle raid. “100 schoolgirls were trapped inside. They feared abduction or worse,” she said. “Fortunately, UN peacekeepers intervened. They de-escalated the situation. They freed the girls.” “For those 100 girls, those peacekeepers could not have been more essential, nor their courage and skill more life changing,” she added, cautioning that any reduction of mandates or resources would be “imprudent at best, catastrophic at worst.” Secretary-General António Guterres said, “The world must not turn its back on Africa, home to nearly one-fifth of humanity. The stakes are too high. And the potential is too great.” The Secretary-General and Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, the African Union Commission Chairperson, spoke to reporters following the annual African Union United Nations Conference. Guterres reiterated that the cooperation between the two organizations has never been stronger — or more necessary. The UN chief highlighted that Africa's history is as old as humanity. Its resources are vast – and have driven the growth of many economies. However, its progress is held back by an outdated and unfair global financial system. Guterres said, “The time has come to reform this financial architecture – so it reflects the world of today and better serves the needs of developing countries, particularly in Africa.” The Secretary-General reiterated, “It must become more inclusive, representative, equitable and effective,” explaining that it means “giving developing countries more meaningful participation in global financial institutions. Tripling the lending capacity of multilateral development banks. And easing debt burdens with new instruments that reduce the cost of capital, lower borrowing costs, extend maturity, align debt service to the ability to pay, and speed up sovereign debt resolution for countries facing debt distress.” The UN chief also reaffirmed his full support for the AU's Silencing the Guns initiative. In Sudan, Guterres is “gravely” concern by recent reports of mass atrocities and gross human rights violations in El Fasher and worsening violence in the Kordofans. He said, “The flow of weapons and fighters from external parties must be cut off. The flow of humanitarian aid must be able to quickly reach civilians in need. The hostilities must stop.” The Secretary-General called on the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to engage with his Personal Envoy for Sudan, Ramtane Lamamra, and “take swift, tangible steps toward a negotiated settlement.” In the eastern reaches of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Guterres noted that decades of conflict have created a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions – with 5.7 million people displaced and 21 million in need of lifesaving aid. Services are collapsing. Cholera on the rise. Hope is on the run. The UN chief said, “Donors must step up – with meaningful support for the vastly underfunded Humanitarian Response Plan. Combatants must stand down – so peace agreements can be implemented without delay. Parties must honour their commitments under the Washington Peace Agreement and Doha Declaration of Principles, and comply fully with Security Council resolution 2773.” “The DRC's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected. And the root causes of the instability and violence in eastern DRC must be addressed,” Guterres added. For his part, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, said that the AU is committed to work with all parties and stakeholders at the United Nations to “achieve a transparent, equitable, unjust reform of the UN Security Council.” “These reforms are indeed of paramount importance and would ultimately consolidate the multilateral system,” Youssouf said. He also highlighted that the two organizations are faced with financial strains. “We need to adapt our actions and programs to the new realities,” the Chairperson said, adding that “it is critical to continue to support peace operations, the fight against terrorism, conflict prevention and resolution, and also focus most of our efforts on humanitarian affairs.” Asked about the decision from the United States to not attend the upcoming G20 in South Africa, the AU chairperson said, “It is indeed unfortunate that the United States boycott this G20 summit.” He continued, “let me reassure you. I think the African continent has decided to take its destiny on its hands. And we are definitely working to increase the self-reliance. We are working to mobilize domestic resources for our development programs and the whole rhetorics and narratives is changing.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

UN Women's complaints about the manosphere continue to include typical mischaracterizations, and a familiar plan of attack. They want to get rid of us. Last week, we continued reading their article on the topic, “How to counter the manosphere's toxic influence,” and were inundated with harmful anti-male stereotypes and false allegations. We will continue with the diatribe of the International Harpies' club this week. And probably next week, because this article is so full of bovine excrement that we're likely to have a lot to say about nearly every sentence. And we may have to look at a few other publications in the interim.

President Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has drawn widespread acclaim from foreign participants and overseas experts, who welcomed his proposals as a pivotal step toward accelerating gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.习近平主席在全球妇女峰会开幕式上发表的主旨演讲，得到了外国参会者及海外专家的广泛赞誉。他们认为，主席提出的倡议是在全球范围内加快性别平等与妇女赋权的关键一步。They said the convening of the meeting holds milestone significance, demonstrating China's global leadership in promoting and protecting human rights and development, and advancing women's status.他们表示，此次会议的召开具有里程碑意义，彰显了中国在促进和保护人权与发展、提升妇女地位方面的全球领导力。"Women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization. And the international community has a shared responsibility to advance the cause of women," Xi emphasized in his address, calling for tangible actions.习近平在讲话中强调：“妇女是人类文明的创造者、推动者和传承者，推动妇女事业发展是国际社会的共同责任”，并呼吁采取切实行动。He made four proposals, calling for collective efforts to foster an enabling environment for women's growth, propel high-quality development for women, strengthen governance frameworks to protect women's rights and enhance global cooperation on gender equality.他提出四点倡议，呼吁各方共同努力，为妇女成长营造有利环境、推动妇女高质量发展、健全妇女权益保障治理体系、加强性别平等领域全球合作。Recalling the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing 30 years ago, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina J.Mohammed underscored the pioneering role of the Beijing conference, noting that it lit "a fire of possibility" for women worldwide. She said she is very glad to see China and other states "who have kept this flame alive".联合国常务副秘书长阿明娜・穆罕默德回顾了30年前在北京举行的第四次世界妇女大会，强调该会议具有开创性意义，为全球妇女点燃了“希望之火”。她表示，很高兴看到中国及其他国家“延续了这一火种”。Hosting a second historic conference in Beijing is a reminder of the shared responsibility to deliver on women's rights, she added.她补充道，在北京再次举办这一历史性会议，提醒着各方肩负着落实妇女权利的共同责任。The senior UN official commended Xi for "leading this Global Leaders' Meeting on Women and demonstrating his genuine commitment to the women's rights agenda".这位联合国高级官员赞扬习近平“牵头举办此次全球妇女峰会，并切实致力于推进妇女权利议程”。Anita Amorim, head of the International Labour Organization's Emerging and Special Partnerships Unit, said that in the context of South-South cooperation, women's empowerment offers a strategic lever for resilience and shared growth, while noting that the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has served as both a celebration of progress and a critical point of reflection on the persistent gaps in women's rights and empowerment worldwide.国际劳工组织新兴与特别伙伴关系司负责人安妮塔・阿莫林表示，在南南合作背景下，妇女赋权是增强韧性与实现共同增长的战略抓手。她指出，全球妇女峰会既是对已有进展的肯定，也为反思全球妇女权利与赋权领域仍存在的差距提供了重要契机。Amorim said that as challenges including conflict, debt distress and a cost-of-living crisis have deepened inequalities, the meeting came at an essential time, focusing on women's advancement in the economy and advocating opportunities for both women and men.阿莫林称，冲突、债务困境、生活成本危机等挑战加剧了不平等，此次会议的召开恰逢其时，聚焦妇女经济赋权，并倡导为女性和男性创造平等机会。She said that over the years, the ILO has cooperated with China through South-South cooperation, bringing tangible benefits to countries in the Global South, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, in promoting employment, skills development and social protection, while promoting women's entrepreneurship and gender equality.她表示，多年来，国际劳工组织通过南南合作与中国开展合作，在促进就业、技能培训、社会保障等领域为全球南方国家（尤其是亚太地区国家）带来了切实利益，同时也推动了妇女创业与性别平等。Nahla Haidar El Addal, head of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, highly praised Xi's advocacy of supporting women in shouldering more responsibilities, engaging deeply in global governance and sharing the fruits of governance.联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会主席纳拉・海达高度评价习近平提出的支持妇女承担更多责任、深度参与全球治理、共享治理成果的主张。She pointed out that the key challenge in the current global governance system lies in the lack of coordinated, unified, clear and well-defined rules and a procedural framework, which makes it difficult for countries to form synergy in their actions. Therefore, she stressed that building international consensus and improving governance rules are of critical importance.她指出，当前全球治理体系面临的核心挑战在于缺乏协调统一、清晰明确的规则与程序框架，导致各国难以形成行动合力。因此，她强调，凝聚国际共识、完善治理规则至关重要。Russel Harland, deputy branch secretary and international relations officer of the Surrey County branch of UNISON, one of the largest trade unions in the United Kingdom, said he believes that China is giving vital impetus to the fight against gender inequality by embedding the shared responsibility to advance women's development, such as urging tangible and accessible policies to channel more quality health and educational resources to all women.英国最大工会之一“公共与商业服务工会” 萨里郡分会副秘书长兼国际关系官员拉塞尔・哈兰德（音译）表示，他认为中国正通过落实推动妇女发展的共同责任，为消除性别不平等注入重要动力，例如推动制定切实可行的政策，向全体妇女倾斜更多优质医疗与教育资源。He noted that Xi's invigorating words are in line with China's Global Development Initiative, which calls for staying committed to development as a priority.他指出，习近平主席振奋人心的讲话与中国提出的全球发展倡议一脉相承，该倡议强调坚持以发展为优先事项。President Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence said, "China's commitment of $10 million to UN Women is highly significant for African nations, many of which are already partnering with the international organization to empower women.利比里亚参议院临时议长扬布利・康加・劳伦斯表示：“中国向联合国妇女署承诺提供1000万美元资金，这对非洲国家意义重大——许多非洲国家已在与该国际组织合作推进妇女赋权”。"We look forward to this partnership and hope that small countries, in particular, will benefit from it," she added.她补充道：“我们期待这一合作能带来实效，尤其希望小国能从中受益”。Marija Petrovic, a journalist from Serbia who covered the event, voiced her strong support for Xi's emphasis on improving girls' and women's rights in education.报道此次会议的塞尔维亚记者玛丽娅・彼得罗维奇表示，她坚决支持习近平关于改善女童与妇女教育权利的主张。She said it is essential for girls to have education and their own money, as independence grants them the freedom to make their own choices.她认为，女童接受教育、拥有独立收入至关重要，因为经济独立能让她们获得自主做选择的自由。pivotaladj.关键的，核心的/ˈpɪvətl/empowermentn.赋权，增权/ɪmˈpaʊəmənt/tangibleadj.切实的，具体的；可触摸的/ˈtændʒəbl/synergyn.协同作用，合力/ˈsɪnədʒi/

Five years away from the 2030 deadline, none of the global gender equality targets are on track. From poverty to conflict, the setbacks are staggering.According to a new UN report launched on Monday, extreme poverty rates for women and girls have hardly moved in the last five years.Data shows that by the year 2030, there will be 351 million women and girls who live in the very worst forms of poverty around the world.But the report also points to real solutions, and what's possible when countries invest in women and girls.UN News's Ana Carmo sat down with Sarah Hendriks, Director of the Policy Division at UN Women, to discuss the main findings of the 2025 SDG Gender Snapshot report.

Nearly four years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and 11 years since conflict began, the toll on people's mental health is severe.Women and girls are disproportionately affected, facing displacement, economic uncertainty, heightened risks of gender-based violence, and the constant pressure of protecting their families during repeated attacks.Speaking from the capital Kyiv, which suffered deadly strikes last week, and following a visit to the frontline region of Sumy, UN Women's Representative in Ukraine Sabine Freizer Gunes described both the emotional exhaustion and resilience of women.She told UN News's Nathalie Minard that empowering women and restoring a sense of normalcy are crucial steps to help relieve the stress of war.

Four years after Taliban fighters retook the capital Kabul on 15 August 2021, UN Women, the gender equality agency, is warning that the situation for women and girls in Afghanistan is increasingly untenable.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_You know that feeling when someone tells you you're "too intense" or "ask too many questions"? Lucia Kanter St. Amour has built an entire career on exactly those traits.Lucia is a negotiation expert, law professor, and the kind of ADHD woman who writes Amazon reviews so detailed she got invited to their exclusive Vine program. She's the author of For the Forces of Good, a guide to everyday negotiation that flips traditional power dynamics, and The Covert Buccaneer, a nonlinear novel that mirrors how her ADHD brain actually works. With a background in global law and leadership at UN Women, she combines strategy with a genuine understanding of how women navigate the world.Diagnosed with ADHD at 54 after a friend casually mentioned she'd known for decades, Lucia finally understood why she'd always felt like a "disco ball" in a world of dimmer switches. Her childhood was marked by misdiagnosed seizures (likely panic attacks from severe bullying) and years on experimental medication that left her struggling academically. But she found her superpowers in foreign languages, piano, and tennis, activities that naturally regulated her nervous system.In this conversation, she and Tracy explore how the traits that make us feel "too much" actually become negotiation superpowers. Our intensity, emotional intelligence, and hyperfocus are assets, not liabilities. They discuss why women avoid negotiating (it's costing us over a million dollars by retirement), how to practice with everyday situations like getting your toddler to eat dinner, and why deep listening transforms every interaction. Lucia also shares her journey from hating rigid law firm work to creating negotiation tools designed specifically for ADHD brains.Whether you're asking for a raise, navigating family dynamics, or simply wanting to be truly heard, Lucia shows that being "too much" isn't something to manage. It's your greatest strength.Resources:Website: https://www.pactumfactum.com/  YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/santaluciasf  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?

What if reimagining how cities are designed could make women safer? In Cairo, sexual harassment and violence against women on the streets has been endemic. Women don't feel safe enough to walk or take public transport. A pioneering programme called Safer Cities, is hoping to find the solution through radical urban redesigns, women friendly spaces and raising awareness about sexual harassment.

Amy is joined by advocate Allison Dayton, founder of Lift & Love, to discuss the god-sized holes left behind when LGBTQIA+ people are forced out of their faith traditions, plus how the LDS Church can be changed through love and role modelling to embrace its gay family.Donate to Breaking Down PatriarchyAllison Dayton started the Lift & Love Foundation to support LGBTQ individuals and their families in the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Allison lost her brother, who was gay, to suicide at the same time her 17-year-old son was coming out. Looking for resources to help her family, she couldn't find anything that embraced her religious beliefs and her son's divine identity. Lift and Love has grown to fill that much-needed space supporting thousands of individuals and families as they navigate their unique journeys of protecting their identity or that of their precious children and integrating their new reality into their devotion to Jesus Christ. Allison is a writer, speaker, including at BYU Women's Conferences. In 2022 she moderated an LGBTQ Conversation Circle at the UN Women's Conference. Allison and her husband, Kenn, live in the foothills of Salt Lake City, Utah, have three grown children, a son-in-law and a granddaughter, Georgia, who rules their world.
