March is Women's History Month and in this episode of Talking Taiwan I'll be speaking with the Angela Feng, the organizer of the Empowering Women Through Education and Community Action panel, a UN CSW69 Parallel Event that's going to be held here in New York City on Friday, March 14th from 4:30pm-6:00pm. CSW69 stands for the 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Also with me in this interview are the other two panelists Cindy Wu who's been a previous guest on Talking Taiwan and Dr. Remi Duyile.   There are quite a few acronyms tossed around in this conversation so I thought I'd mention them upfront here like SDG goals, which stands for Sustainable Development Goals which were adopted by United Nations Member States. There are 17 SDGs because ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.   The other acronym you'll hear is BPW which stands for Business and Professional Women.   The theme of the panel is how education and community initiatives equal empowerment. The session will dive into how education and grassroots programs can transform lives.   Angela, Cindy and Dr. Remi not only talked about the panel, and work of their respective organizations, but I ask each of the women who were their earliest role models who helped to shape who they are today, and to share about challenges that they've had to overcome in their careers thus far.   If you'd like to know how you can attend the Empowering Women Through Education and Community Action panel visit TalkingTaiwan.com where we'll share a link to register for it on Eventbrite.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·  Angela Feng, Cindy Wu, and Dr. Remi Duyile are the organizers and panelists for the Empowering Women Through Education and Community Action Panel. ·  The panel's theme is "How Education and Community Initiatives Equal Empowerment." ·  The session will explore how education and grassroots programs can significantly transform lives, particularly for women and girls. ·  Angela Feng is the president of Soroptimist Taipei International, Girls Power, a female non-profit organization recognized by the UN and Taiwan. ·  Cindy Wu is a trilingual financial management professional, singer-songwriter, and motivational speaker, involved with the International Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW). ·  Dr. Remi Duyile is a Nigerian-American, a UN ambassador of peace, and the founder of Legacy Premier Foundation, a global developmental non-profit. ·  The discussion will delve into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how these goals relate to women's empowerment ·  Angela, Cindy and Dr. Remi the work that they have done with each of their respective organizations ·  Angela, Cindy and Dr. Remi talked about their early role models and the challenges they have overcome in their careers. ·  The panel aims to provide practical insights and inspire action, moving beyond abstract concepts of women's empowerment. ·  The women want to provide action steps, and resources to the audience ·  Soroptimist International of Taipei Girls Power focuses on education for young women, from elementary school through college. ·  The Legacy Premier Foundation focuses on financial literacy, and providing access to resources to underserved communities, and teaches skills that are needed in the market place. ·  The International Federation of Business and Professional Women works to create opportunities for women through promoting employment, and protecting rights.   Related Links:

Climate Apartheid. This phrase, coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, describes the ways in which the wealthy and well-connected insulate themselves from the impacts of climate change, while the rest of are left to suffer from them. This two-tiered way of dealing with climate change leaves the vulnerable behind and creates a world where there are two different climate realities. We have to work to identify and dismantle climate apartheid wherever we see it. So let's get into it on this episode of the Environmental Justice Lab.Resources:'I dare not be quiet': What climate activist Ndelika Mandela learned from her granddad - National Public RadioUN expert condemns failure to address impact of climate change on poverty – United Nations Commission on Human RightsClimate Apartheid: The Forgetting of Race in the Antropocene Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comSupport our work by joining the Supporters Club: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support

“I think historically, science or STEM related subjects have not been encouraged for young girls to participate in. It's generally been viewed as a male dominated industry” – Lerato Kubushi, African Leadership Academy In today's Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje speaks to four teenagers from Tunisia, Lesotho, Nigeria Zimbabwe and their teacher from Ghana about why African women are underrepresented in science and what's being done about it. According to a recent United Nations Commission for Africa report, women make up only 20% of the science and engineering field on the continent. This, however, isn't to say that Africa hasn't produced people who are excelling in this sector and doing exceptional things.Back in 2002, Mark Shuttleworth gained worldwide fame when he became the first South African in space. 20 years later Sara Sabry became the first Egyptian and African woman to go to space. But is enough being done to ensure that more women get to reach the same heights?

In the first of our SI Voices podcast series for 2024 we review CSW68, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, or ‘CSW' event which took place this year in March.  CSW is a key event in Soroptimist International's calendar as it is a Commission that focuses specifically on promoting gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. This year, a delegation of more than 100 Soroptimists from all continents attended in person, while many more followed events online. In this podcast episode we will hear individual perspectives and reflections from Berthe De Vos, Soroptimist International Main Representative to the United Nations in Geneva and Hana Smith, Soroptimist International Global Policy Advisor, who both attended CSW68 in person this year.

In the conversation, Rachel Miner discusses her organization Bellwether International, which focuses on disrupting the cycle of genocide and creating genocide-resistant societies. She explains their approach of combining top-down systems change with bottom-up grassroots resistance movements, empowering local "bellwethers" to lead peacebuilding efforts. Miner highlights their evidence-based programming, such as trauma healing for Yazidi genocide survivors in Iraq, and their efforts to develop a predictive model using data and machine learning to identify early warning signs of genocide and devise policy interventions. Rachel has a bachelors in economics from Brigham Young University and masters in public administration from the London School of Economics and Political Science and masters in economic and political development from Columbia University. In 2021, Rachel was named a U.S. Truman Scholar. Rachel's research explores the economics of religious freedom and has published in the Journal of Economics, Management, and Religion, and is a regular contributor on BBC Woman's Hour, SiriusXM, and Newsweek. Her research also discusses religious freedom and technology, artificial intelligence, and using complex systems to model genocide. Rachel has presented at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, the Global Women's Summit, the Ministerial to advance Religious Freedom, Interfaith G20, International Religious Freedom Summit, among others. https://bellwetherngo.org/ Special Guest: Rachel Miner.

Our CEO Janet Ledger recently joined our GIDA partners for a presentation on Centring Marginalised Voices at Work at the NGO CSW68, a forum run in parallel to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Janet provided an Asian perspective, reflecting that, "the research we do at Community Business equally advocates for engagement with and listening to those with lived experiences to shape any DE&I strategies with ‘voices' at the heart of work."   As well as presenting at the forum, watch this episode of Up for Discussion to learn more about:

On March 14-22, 2024, the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) held its 67th annual session in Vienna, Austria. The session saw a landmark vote that may have important repercussions for drug policy, in Latin America and elsewhere.   The commission approved a U.S.-led resolution encouraging countries to implement “harm reduction” measures to respond to drug overdoses and to protect public health.   The vote marks a major breakthrough in civil society's decades-long advocacy to center harm reduction, especially since the U.S. government has a history of blocking all such resolutions, and since the Commission has a longstanding tradition of enactment by a “Vienna Consensus” without votes.   This episode features three guests who helped lead civil society's robust participation at the CND:   Ann Fordham, executive director of International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) Lisa Sanchez, executive director of México Unido Contra la Delincuencia (MUCD) John Walsh, director for drug policy and the Andes at WOLA   The three experts underscore that while the vote on this resolution was a major win in the civil society-led harm reduction fight, it is just one milestone along a longer journey. The fight must continue to ensure this sets the foundation for an international drug policy that truly prioritizes protecting people, views drug addiction as a public health and not a national security issue, and moves away from the normative framework of achieving a “drug free society” through punitive measures and prohibition.   “The prohibition regime has tried to make itself inevitable and ‘forever,' and that's not the case… There's no reason to think that it needs to last forever. In fact, as we said, it was a misfit from the very beginning,” says John Walsh. “Drug use has always existed, it always will. To suggest that we're going to create a ‘drug-free world' is not only futile, but it's downright dangerous because of its consequences… I think this is an opening to think more broadly about not just the UN drug policy space, but what governments need to do for the health, safety, and well-being of their populations.”

Hello everyone! I am so excited to announce that with my project The Chosen Families Project, I had the amazing opportunity to interview Meryl Frank, author of "Unearthed: A Lost Actress, a Forbidden Book, and a Search for Life in the Shadow of the Holocaust."Meryl Frank was the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and former Mayor of Highland Park, New Jersey. We were able to have some thoughtful discussions regarding her experience writing the book, what photographs mean to one's family story, working through communal trauma of the Holocaust, and what our duty to persevering the past means.

Now in its thirteenth year, the war in Syria shows no signs of letting up, and several foreign powers are active in the country, including Russia, the US, Turkey and Israel, which has stepped up its bombardments since the 7 October Hamas attacks. The latest report of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry details a marked escalation of violence, over the last six months, and outlines the disastrous consequences for the civilian population: around 13 million have been forced from their homes, and 90 per cent are living poverty. Conor Lennon from UN News asked Hanny Megally, the Deputy Director and Senior Fellow at New York University's Center on International Cooperation, and a member of the Commission of Inquiry, about the different forces involved in Syria, and the worrying resurgence of the ISIL terror group.

Pierre Poilievre wants BC Premier David Eby to join his fight against the carbon tax. Eby declines, citing Poilievre's "bologna politics". Poilievre fires back, suggesting Eby doesn't understand British Columbians can't even afford bologna. (No matter how you feel about bologna, you've gotta love the word play...) 3:03 | We ask Charles Adler if Poilievre can convince the public he's Canada's top poverty fighter - hasn't that been the NDP's whole schtick? But we lead off with the story of a woman scoffing at the "true North strong and free" O Canada lyric during a recent NHL game. What's with the "Freedom fighter" movement these days? Grifters like Jamie Sale and Theo Fleury are still at it...but what freedoms are they being denied? Oh, and was anybody else surprised the Prime Minister told a Radio-Canada reporter he thinks about quitting every day? Could there be political ramifications for such an off-the-cuff comment?  48:30 | Erin Davis joins us in studio just hours after returning from New York City, where she served as a delegate at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Don't miss her reality check on how extreme poverty continues to pin down 10% of the world's women and girls. Erin also shares her thoughts on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) efforts here at home - the hits and the misses.  ERIN'S WORK: https://www.erindavisco.ca/ RYAN'S 2008 ETHIOPIA MINISERIES: https://rtrj.info/2009WomenandWealth 1:27:55 | "Grace, Forgiveness, and Hope."

As Big Ocean women, we value our identities as women of faith. We represent 83% of women who identify with a faith tradition. This figure is considerably higher in women than in men, which might suggest that many of us are intrinsically connected with religion and naturally experience the world through a faith-filled lens. Of the many women of the world who carry children, families, communities, and nations upon their shoulders– and with such strength, courage, and grace– it can be said that they are each women of faith. The language of faith is intuitive to women. It's how we communicate and lift each other up. The faith-filled and religious voice is our voice. It is imperative then, that as women, we advocate for our freedom to live and worship as we see fit. Not only within the walls of our homes, but also in the public square. The freedom of conscience is inseparably connected to many other freedoms that will improve the lives of women, their families, and communities. Therefore, we must organize, speak up, and lead out on this critical social issue.   "Faith is integral to he way we seek to get involved in our communities and our neighborhoods, the way we serve our families."  Shelli Spotts   "Without faith we do not recognize our own power and our own sense of worth."  Carolina Allen   Carolina is the founder and leader of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Carolina holds a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Utah with an emphasis in cultural religions and philosophy of science. Her inspirational and philosophical work has been presented at various international U.N. conferences. She is a native of Brazil, and a fluent trilingual. She and her husband Kawika are parents to 7 children. She is an avid soccer fan and had a brief career as a semi-professional player.   ShelliRae Spotts is an essayist, advocacy writer, screenwriter, and sometime poet who teaches creative writing and composition at Brigham Young University. She is passionate about exploring the ways we use stories to build bridges within our communities and her essays delve into the connections we discover through languaging our lived experiences. Shelli has attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women as an advocacy writer for the last several years, and is dedicated to social justice and environmental causes. She was the co-director and writing mentor for "Words for Water: Dancing the Stories of our Home Waters," a collaborative writing/dance advocacy project focusing attention on the challenges facing our rural river watersheds.  She is the author of a forthcoming essay collection, "Radical Creativity: On a New Economy of Care." When she is not teaching, writing, or reading, Shelli loves to spend time with her husband and four adult children watching great movies, attending live theatre, or dragging everyone outside to “look at the sky.”

In this archive episode from 2020, Carolina Allen and Shelli Spotts discuss the origin and roots of the gift economy, and the way maternal feminism rests on an alternative structure, a way of living that does not depend on getting ahead but the responsibility to lift everyone up.  "We are born into a gift economy, one that starts with our own mothers. It is a far more natural way of living that does not depend on the economy of exchange, but on trust and generosity." Genevieve Vaughn Genevieve Vaughan was born in Texas in 1939. She is an independent researcher. After finishing college in Pennsylvania in 1963 she married philosopher and semiotician Ferruccio Rossi-Landi and moved with him to Italy where they had three daughters. The couple participated in the beginnings of the Semiotics movement in Italy as well as in the Italian Left, where Genevieve got her political consciousness raised. After her divorce in 1978 Vaughan became a feminist, participating in the Italian and international feminist movements. She began to see the fact of women's free labor in the home as a gift economy, the unacknowledged free economy of women from which communication and community derive. Her two early essays ‘Communication and exchange' (Semiotica 1980) and ‘Saussure and Vigotsky via Marx'(1981) deal with language and economics, a theme introduced by her husband but which she elaborated in alternative directions, and which she has been working on throughout the rest of her life. In 1983, Vaughan returned to Texas where she started the Foundation for a Compassionate Society, a multicultural all-women activist foundation which initiated many innovative projects for social change based on the political use of ‘women's gifting values'. The Foundation closed its doors in 2005 after two final international conferences: A Radically Different Worldview is Possible: The Gift Economy Inside and Outside Patriarchal Capitalism, 2004 and Societies of Peace: the Second Congress of Matriarchal Studies (under the guidance of Heide Goettner Abendroth), 2005. Several other conferences have been held including one in Toronto in 2011 called A (M)otherworld is Possible in collaboration with Goettner-Abendroth and in conjunction with the Association for Research on Mothering.   Carolina is the founder and leader of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society.

Ep 461 - Life in Canada after fleeing Syria Guest: Nour Suliman By Stuart McNish   It's been eight years since 25,000 Syrian refugees were resettled in Canada. Our country, in keeping with our commitment to the United Nations Commission for Refugees, is “obliged to protect refugees and treat them according to international standards.” Nour Suliman and her family fled to Canada after dodging bullets, landmines and barrel bombs in Syria.    Nour and her family were some of the 13 million Syrians forced from their homes. Some moved within their country; others fled fearing for their lives. In an earlier Conversations That Matter interview, Nour said, “17 of us would pack into my father's car at a moment's notice. My grandparents, parents, aunt and uncle and my cousins all squeezed into the car to escape numerous deadly threats.”   It has now been  7 years since Nour and her family arrived in Canada. We invited Nour Suliman to join us for a Conversation That Matters to share how life in her new home is unfolding.   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca   Join me Oct 3 for Conversations Live - A Vancouver Sun Town Hall: AI - Friend or Foe https://www.conversationslive.ca/

I first heard Shabana Basij-Rasikh share her moving story on 60 Minutes, and I knew I had to have her on Chatter that Matters. You will soon hear why National Geographic named her their Explorer of the Year. Shabana calls herself an ordinary Afghan woman, but I see her as a hero of immense courage and fortitude and one of the many brave women defying the tyrannical rule of the Taliban. What we take for granted, Shabana and others risked their lives for. At age 6, defying the Taliban's desire to commoditize women, Shabana disguised herself as a boy to attend secret schools with her sister. They faced constant threats, the risk of acid being thrown at them. Their teachers could be beheaded. After the fall of the Taliban in 2001, Shabana seized the chance to freely study in her home country and then the US. While studying overseas, Shabana co-founded SOLA, an all-girls boarding school in Afghanistan. In 2021, as the Americans withdrew, violence escalated, and the Taliban quickly seized power. Shabana had hours not weeks to move her school. She burned records and led a dangerous evacuation of 256 girls, families, and faculty to Rwanda, the only country that would accept them.  Shabana's story exemplifies the transformative power of education and the resilience of the human spirit. Shabana's story will move you, and if you have children in school, the content is not only safe but worth it for you to listen to it together. Amanda J. Devison, Manager at RBC's Commercial Banking Advisors, joins the show to share her journey of being raised by a single mother with a biracial background and how her context and passion led her to organize the BPW Canada delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women Conference.   SOLA - School of Leadership Afghanistan - https://www.sola-afghanistan.org  

One of the most important things we can do as communities is to create spaces for connection and creativity, places that nurture the bonds between community members that are not places of commerce. Spaces that serve multiple purposes. Gloria Boberg talks about how a few extra acres in her community became one of those places, offering the space for a community garden that has served to connect and foster the relationships between all the members of her small town.    Dana Robb loves adventure. Whenever presented with the opportunity, Dana is all in.  Currently this includes riding the local mountain biking trails with her husband, canyoneering, and climbing the hills of southern Utah. She loves to learn and explore with her six kids whom she's been homeschooling since 2009. Her other interest include health and wellness and humanitarian work. If given the choice between cleaning her house and reading, she will choose reading every time. Drawn to the opportunities Big Ocean provides, Dana loves connecting to a global sisterhood where women's issues are being addressed through reframing and an abundance mindset. ShelliRae Spotts is an essayist, advocacy writer, screenwriter, and sometime poet who teaches creative writing and composition at Brigham Young University. She is passionate about exploring the ways we use stories to build bridges within our communities and her essays delve into the connections we discover through languaging our lived experiences. Shelli has attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women as an advocacy writer for the last several years, and is dedicated to social justice and environmental causes. She was the co-director and writing mentor for "Words for Water: Dancing the Stories of our Home Waters," a collaborative writing/dance advocacy project focusing attention on the challenges facing our rural river watersheds.  She is the author of a forthcoming essay collection, "Radical Creativity: On a New Economy of Care." When she is not teaching, writing, or reading, Shelli loves to spend time with her husband and four adult children watching great movies, attending live theatre, or dragging everyone outside to “look at the sky.”  

***Trigger Warning*** Today, we are going to be talking about abortion and other sensitive topics, such as miscarriage and rape — so if this is something you're not ready to hear about, please feel free to exit out of this podcast and join us in the next episode.Would you consider yourself a Christian who supports both abortion and women's rights? Perhaps you or someone you know only believes in abortion in extreme cases. I can't think of a topic more polarizing than abortion. My guest in this episode, Lila Rose, has been called the “messenger in chief of the pro-life movement” by Vice News and “the face of the millennial anti-abortion movement” by the Atlantic. And today, we are diving into this controversial discussion headfirst.Lila Rose is a writer, speaker, and activist who founded and serves as president of Live Action, a human rights organization with the largest online impact among pro-life and pro-abortion groups. She has devoted her life to ending abortion and making America a more welcoming place to raise a family. Lila speaks internationally on family and cultural issues. She has addressed members of the European Parliament and has spoken at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Lila is a wife, a mother, and the author of “Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change In A Wounded World.”In this episode, Lila and I are going to be talking about abortion, being pro-life as a Christian, and what God's Word says about this. Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Lila Rose:it's never right to intentionally take a child's lifetaking a child's life is not a medical treatmentthere are medical treatments and ways to care for both mother and childConnect with Lila Rose:Live Action WebsiteThe Lila Rose PodcastLila Rose Podcast YouTubeLive Action YouTubeLila Rose InstagramLive Action InstagramReasoning Through the BibleReasoning Through the Bible is an expository style walk through the BibleListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showInstagramTikTokYouTubePinterestTwitterLemon8 Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Chiseled and Called.

In Women, Empires, and Body Politics at the United Nations, 1946–1975 (University of Nebraska Press, 2023), Giusi Russo focuses on the first decades of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) to examine gender politics in the postwar period. The Commission was comprised of a diverse group of women whose ideas about equality often clashed. Shaped by Cold War politics and the process of decolonization, the CSW's work grappled with issues like polygamy, family planning, FGM, and women's role in development. Through its interactions with women and women's bodies in the colonial world, the CSW moved from concerns with law to practice, and from formal public rights like civic equality and political participation to private rights concerning marriage and reproduction. Russo brings in the voices of a range of CSW delegates to highlight how women representing newly independent nations pushed back against narratives that rested on an imperial feminist foundation. Their rhetoric demonstrates how body politics were intertwined with broader geopolitical trends, and recenters prevailing understandings of the CSW that underestimate its influence prior to 1975. Russo argues that women living under colonial and postcolonial systems were key actors in defining the politics of women's rights at the UN.

Presiding Bishop Michael Curry appointed Ruthie McLain of Calvary Episcopal Church (Memphis) as one of nine delegates from the Episcopal Church to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. This year's conference theme—"innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of rural women and girls”—is timely, considering how the world has evolved since the pandemic began, noted Lynnaia Main, The Episcopal Church's representative to the United Nations. This week on Faithfully Memphis, Ruthie joins Bishop Phoebe live from the UN to give an update from the session, as part of our Women in the Church series.

Hosts Kim Landeen and Carolina Allen discuss the tenet, “We work in partnership with our global sisters to create generative solutions.”   Big Ocean Women will be attending the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York City. We will be presenting a Parallel Event. Check out our social media for access to that.   “That's the beauty and the joy of Big Ocean … we truly are a global sisterhood.” - Kim Landeen   “... [E]veryone is feeling this burning passion to belong to an organization that doesn't just spew out a litany of problems, but that we're … super pumped about supporting one another and being the solution to those problems and creating … generative solutions. That means solutions aren't just band-aid approaches that they're going to get at the root of real issues and that … our children will benefit from what we're doing and that's the whole purpose…” - Carolina Allen   “... [A]ll it takes is a single woman that has an idea that wants to improve her own situation and the situation of those around her, and Big Ocean is here to help.” - Kim Landeen   “I think that's the beauty and kind of why we've been so successful at the United Nations is it is that pure feeling of love. There is a divine love that stands within us as women of faith, and we see and acknowledge that innate unique worth of individuals and we truly do desire to work in partnership with our global sisters from a very empowered place that creates those generative solutions for ourselves, for our communities, and ultimately for our children that stand at the center of everything we do.” - Kim Landeen   We believe that every woman who has the best interest of the rising generation at heart, and willingly gives herself to nourish and protect the rising generation, is a mother.   “To mother and to nurture, those are action words, … they carry with it a big responsibility, and so for those women in the world that are keyed into that responsibility and want to carry that with us, then we welcome you.” - Carolina Allen   “I want you to think about your strengths. What do you have to offer? What are you good at? … What's something that sparks your interest or that you gravitate towards? And then start exploring that and start finding ways in your community, in your family, within your extended family, within your work environment, ways that you can freely offer that like as a gift. And as you do that, it's going to make you feel so confident and so happy and fulfilled. Then the next step is just to keep expanding that and take something that you … may not be that proficient in … but you have interest in it, and then you keep developing that skill and over time, the more that you put that into practice by serving other people and by engaging and helping others around you, that skill and talent will get polished and will become really a huge asset. And we are inviting everyone to join us, because the more we collaborate together, the stronger we are.” - Carolina Allen   “It is fairly common that we are brought to tears because of the work that you guys are performing and the miracles and generative solutions that are changing our world every single day that is wrought by the leadership of our WAVEs.” - Kim Landeen   —-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Carolina is the founder and leader of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Carolina holds a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Utah with an emphasis in cultural religions and philosophy of science. Her inspirational and philosophical work has been presented at various international U.N. conferences. She is a native of Brazil, and a fluent trilingual.

H.G. Wells - The New World Order - Chapter 9 - Politics for the Sane Man The New World Order is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells and was published by Secker & Warburg in January 1940. In The New World Order, Wells proposed a framework of international functionalism that could guide the world towards achieving world peace.[1] To achieve these ends, Wells asserted that a socialist and scientifically planned world government would need to be formed to defend human rights.[2] Wells's motivation for writing The New World Order was based upon the outbreak of World War II.[3] Wells was concerned that the Allies had no clear statement of aims for fighting in the war and that this would lead to the continuation of the pre-existing balance of power.[4] In The New World Order, Wells writes that without a revolution in international affairs and the establishment of human rights, then further destructive wars were inevitable.[5] The New World Order received praise for its imagination but was also criticised for its lack of technical detail and emphasis on collectivisation. Wells published in The New World Order his first version of a human rights declaration, which was a precursor to his work on the Sankey Declaration of the Rights of Man (1940).[5] In 1947, both declarations became used as advisory works by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights for drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).[6] Audio taken from: youtu.be/fQlZGNLqQwM
