Mu Sochua spent most of her life organizing for democracy in Cambodia, both inside and outside the country.She served as a member of parliament and as minister for women's and veterans affairs before leaving the government over corruption and later joining the political opposition. After her party was dissolved, she was banned from politics and sentenced to 47 years in prison. She now lives in exile in the United States.In this episode, Mu talks about what it means to continue political work from outside her native Cambodia. As president of the Khmer Movement for Democracy, Mu has traveled around the world to meet with Cambodian communities across the diaspora, staying in people's homes, organizing in kitchens, and helping communities build leadership and structure where they live. Her approach to political organizing is practical: listen first, identify local leaders, share resources, negotiate differences, and organize.She also reflects on returning to Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge, working with women at the grassroots level, and the decision to leave government when staying no longer made sense. The conversation looks closely at power, exile, and what democracy requires when formal institutions are closed off.At the center is a simple idea: exile does not mean stepping away from politics. It means finding another way to do it.Follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and visit our website to stay up to date with our latest news.

Movement is a natural way to combat inflammation and boost energy and brain power. Rosemary tea, made by boiling rosemary for 15 minutes, is a great anti-inflammatory option. While injectable medications like Ozempic are popular, natural remedies like ginger, turmeric, and rosemary can be equally effective without the side effects.

Pope Leo advises avoiding five types of people to navigate life peacefully: those who suffocate joy, manipulators, those who diminish your growth, darkness bearers, and the indifferent. Protect your inner peace and rise above negativity to live in clarity and grace.   The original “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” book, published in 1900, explores themes beyond a children's fairy tale, including industrial era anxiety and psychological growth. The story, set in the gray prairies of Kansas, follows Dorothy's journey to the vibrant land of Oz, where she learns that the characters she meets already possess the traits they seek. The book also serves as a commentary on the free silver movement, symbolizing the dangers of relying on external authority and the importance of self-reliance. The Wizard of Oz is a political allegory, with D.C. as the Emerald City and politicians as humbugs. The Wicked Witch of the West represents modern data monopolies like Amazon and Google, who control information and delivery. Breaking free from social media and finding individual agency on a local level is crucial for true protection and empowerment. I find meaning and nourishment in exploring themes and symbolism, much as they did with The Wizard of Oz. I reimagine “The Wizard of Oz” with Dorothy as an African-American woman, representing the resilience and power of black women in politics. It highlights the overlooked contributions of women like Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, and Jasmine Crockett, who are portrayed as strong, qualified leaders. The yellow brick road symbolizes the path to empowerment, built through sacrifice and community. #WizardOfOzReimagined #BlackWomenInPolitics #PodcastAlert #ModernAllegory #Representation #KamalaHarris #StaceyAbrams #JasmineCrockett #Sisterhood #EmeraldCity #PodcastCommunity #JasmineCrockett #StaceyAbrams Crypto-Scammers are on some new BS..."Chen Zhi was among three Chinese nationals arrested on 6 January after a joint investigation into transnational crime lasting several months, Cambodia said." Stacy Rush is paying the girls poorly and is being criticized for her delusional behavior. Tia underestimated Stacy's delusions and is now trying to align herself with Gizelle Bryant. Angel is overreacting to all situations involving Bobby, and her self-image seems to be shattered, leading her to consider returning to Denver. Angel Massey's behavior on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac is confusing and inconsistent. She struggles to fit in with the group, failing to connect with the other women and often appearing disengaged and uncomfortable. Her attempts to impress Giselle and her delayed reactions to situations make her seem out of place, and her lack of authenticity is evident to the other cast members.

Over the past thirty years in Ireland, the lives of women have changed unrecognisably. Unparalleled advances in legislation have allowed for divorce, abortion and marriage equality. The economy has gone from boom to bust and to boom again, with more women entering the workplace. But for all the progress, there is still an underrepresentation of women in politics and positions of power, and there's also a worrying rise in violence against women. This transformation of Irish society and its impact on women is documented by Irish social researcher and author Íde B. O'Carroll in her new book Thirty Years of Change Through Women's Eyes: Ireland, 1993-2023. In today's episode, the US-based writer tells Róisín Ingle about the women she spoke to for the book and their perspectives on a changing Ireland. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the outcome of a harassment case taken by the wife of French President Brigitte Macron and calls to ban AI “nudification” apps.

Reflecting on the genesis of Political Contessa, Jennifer shares how the show was born out of her desire to tackle issues important to women in politics, especially conservative voices often marginalized in liberal states. In this episode, she delivers a passionate, unvarnished recounting of the most impactful political and cultural events from 2021 to 2026, including the pandemic, controversial mandates, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, January 6th, political violence, and shifts in global leadership. She addresses hot-button topics such as vaccine mandates, partisan media bias, assaults on free speech, and the effects of AI on the job market. Jennifer also pays tribute to guests and episodes that have made a lasting impression and makes pointed, controversial observations on the state of American politics, the Democratic Party, and how debate and civility have been eroded in recent years. “I don't have to take it.

She has a strong track record in political action, legislative relations, and effective public policy advocacy. Georgia is particularly interested in Women's Leadership and Empowerment, which she explored during her fellowship with the Women's Public Leadership Network. She was also recognized as a Suffolk University 10 Under 10 Honoree, reflecting her determination to excel in her career. With a passion for public service and nonprofit work, Georgia serves on two boards. Notably, she has worked for Governor Charlie Baker's administration in Massachusetts where she progressed from Program Coordinator to Senior Deputy Director. While she previously worked for the Massachusetts Republican Party, she has now transitioned to the private sector and is pursuing a master's degree in public administration. Today, I’m so pleased to chat with Georgia about our shared goal of getting young women interested in politics and the importance of their voices being heard. Georgia reflects on how her experience growing up in a politically engaged household started her on her journey in the field of politics. We discuss how Georgia has worked toward increasing gender diversity on boards and commissions and what happens to the conversation when you add more diverse voices. We highlight the significance of women's voices in politics, the challenges faced by women in the field, and the importance of supporting and empowering women in leadership positions. We discuss our experiences in politics and the need to understand different perspectives and work across party lines. We highlight the dedication required in public service, the value of women's representation in politics, and the importance of organizations like the Women's Public Leadership Network and the Pocketbook Project in supporting women in politics. We also share how you can become more informed, engage in respectful political discussions, prioritize personal well-being, and encourage more women to participate in public service. “Women need to have perspective in public service, and we have such a different, unique perspective than what a man's perspective may be.” - Georgia Polemenakos This week on Political Contessa: Why young women need to become interested in politics and the importance of amplifying their voices How working for Governor Charlie Baker influenced Georgia’s political journey The impact of more gender diversity on boards and commissions The challenges faced by women going into politics The need for understanding different perspectives and working across party lines The tremendous value of women in public service How to become more informed about politics The importance of respectful political discussions How to prioritize your well-being How to encourage women in your life to participate in public service Resources Mentioned: Women’s Public Leadership Network Website The Pocketbook Project Website Connect with Georgia Polemenakos: Georgia Polemenakos on LinkedIn Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Mary O'Rourke was a much-loved politician and prominent public figure in politics. Mary went from teacher to Minister to then becoming an author and presenter of ‘liveline' and much, much more. Leaving a mark in Irish history while becoming an inspirational figure for women in politics especially. Well, an episode of Cloch le Charn on RTE will air over the Christmas and it takes a look back at the legacy of the former politician and minister. Joining Pat in studio was Mary's son, Fergal.

In today's episode, we sit down with feminist author and activist Soraya Chemaly for a conversation that feels both urgent and deeply grounding. Soraya's new book, All We Want Is Everything, traces how male supremacy shows up everywhere—our politics, our homes, our faith spaces, our workplaces, and especially in the lives of our children. Together, we talk about the rising backlash against women and queer people, the ways boys are being pulled into misogynistic online spaces, and why so many young men are drifting toward anti-democratic movements without even realizing they're being manipulated. Soraya offers a powerful reframe for what we're seeing culturally, along with real, everyday actions that families can take to disrupt old gender scripts—on sports fields, around dinner tables, and in the tiny moments we rarely name but constantly repeat. This conversation is challenging, hopeful, beautifully honest, and filled with the clarity that can actually shift how we move through the world. Let's dive in. What to listen for:  What inspired Soraya to write this book, now, beyond the backlash from the presidential elections. The one cultural shift she'd want to see in the next decade: Young men understanding that the anti feminism they are largely accepting and in many cases promulgating is a manipulation. "If boys could understand that they, too, are part of progressive movements in a way that allows them to accept women as equals, and that means also equal competitors, for example, in school, then that's what I would want to see. "  Specific actions that hold the line for feminists and womanists, and the roles we have to play What practices we all use to sustain ourselves in challenging times About our guest:  Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning author and activist. As a cultural critic, she writes and speaks frequently about gender norms, social justice, free speech, sexualized violence, politics, and technology. The former Executive Director of The Representation Project and Director and co-founder of the Women's Media Center Speech Project, she has long been committed to expanding women's civic and political participation. Soraya's most recently released book, All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy, has been called "a potent rallying cry for a beleaguered feminist movement."  In it, she challenges dearly held beliefs about gender and equality today, drawing clear lines between the dynamics of intimate inequality and global anti-feminist, anti-democratic backlash and machofascism. Her first book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, was recognized as a Best Book of 2018 by the Washington Post, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and NPR, and has been translated into multiple languages. She is a contributor to several anthologies, most recently Free Speech in the Digital Age and Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change The World.  Soraya is also a co-producer of a WMC #NameItChangeIt PSA highlighting the effects of online harassment on women in politics in America.  Her work is widely featured in the media, documentaries, books, and academic research.  As an activist, Ms. Chemaly also spearheaded several successful global campaigns challenging corporations to address online hate and harassment, restrictive content moderation and censorship, and institutional biases that undermine equity and negatively affect free speech. Before 2010, Ms. Chemaly spent more than fifteen years as an executive and consultant in the media and data technology industries.

We get into how the show started, why parents are starving for better content, and why kids actually understand more than people give them credit for. Daniel breaks down his vision, the massive success of the series, and why families are ditching the brain-numbing garbage on mainstream platforms in favor of content that teaches truth without sacrificing entertainment.

Online misogyny is becoming a defining feature of digital life, amplified by algorithms and enabled by platforms that fail to protect users. As violence against women intensifies across online spaces, the stakes for gender equality and for democracy itself have never been higher.Violence online is surging at a moment when digital spaces should be becoming more inclusive. Algorithms reward outrage, platform design obscures abuse, and hostile online communities allow those who target women to organise and radicalise. As a result, violence that begins online increasingly spills into public life.But the consequences go far beyond individual harm. Abuse aimed at women in politics is already deterring them from seeking re-election, while global progress on gender equality is slowing. With governments struggling to regulate fast-moving platforms and profit incentives working against user safety, digital spaces are becoming sites where exclusion is reproduced at scale.With the stakes rising, the questions are pressing. What is driving this rapid escalation in online misogyny? How are design choices and political inaction enabling it? And what would it take to turn digital spaces into environments that strengthen equality rather than deepen exclusion?GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalSasha Havlicek, CEO & Founder, Institute for strategic dialogue Seyi Akiwowo, Author, How To Stay Safe Online and Founder 21/20 StudiosDiana Jiménez Rodriguez, Senior Research Officer, ODI Global Related resourcesHidden in plain sight: how the infrastructure of social media shapes gender norms | ALIGN PlatformDigital sexual violence against women in Mexico: role of the Olimpia Law in transforming underlying gender norms | ALIGN PlatformSocial media, violence and gender norms: the need for a new digital social contract | ALIGN PlatformDrivers of tech-facilitated GBV in Mexico: A behavioural research study in Oaxaca and Estado of México | ALIGN PlatformWhy online safety policies and digital advocacy are essential for women's political participation | ALIGN PlatformBreak the bias to challenge gender norms on social media | ODI Global

In this special post-election episode of The Opt-In Podcast, host Melissa Franks steps away from her usual business strategy deep dives to unpack the real-time ripple effects of America's shifting political landscape and what it means for small business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs. From the Supreme Court's review of U.S. tariffs to the newly elected Mayor Mandani of New York City, Melissa explores how major political moves could reshape how businesses operate, grow, and survive in 2026.  Drawing from her own high-stakes experience selling multi billion-dollar companies, she reveals how snap judgments without due diligence can lead to costly outcomes in both boardrooms and government.She also spotlights a historic night for women in politics, with female leaders taking governorships across key states and connects it back to her mission of empowering women in business. This moment, she says, is a reminder that when women collaborate and claim their space, progress follows.Connect with Melissa: Watch the Episodes on Youtube Instagram: instagram.com/melissa_franks Schedule a call: melissafranks.com

In this episode of IndyPodcasters, hosts Fiona and Marlene sit down with guest Jacqui Jensen to explore how we can reconnect women with politics — wherever they are. From local communities to the national stage, we discuss why women's voices must be at the heart of political decision-making and how inclusive conversations can drive real change and shape our nation. Together, we unpack what's keeping women disengaged, share practical ways to reach out across divides, and highlight the power of more local democracy in shaping policies that truly reflect women's lives. If you care about women in politics, grassroots activism, and ensuring female voices are front and centre in our national dialogue, this episode is a must-listen.

The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda – launched 25 years ago through Security Council resolution 1325 – recognized women are affected by wars in specific ways and must also play a distinct role in resolving them.Mexico, Chile and Colombia have all adopted foreign policies which emphasise gender equality in diplomacy, peacebuilding and development – but more needs to be done for women to be meaningfully included in peace processes and conflict resolution. UN News's Ileana Exaras spoke to Laura Flores, Director of the Americas Division in the UN's political affairs and peacebuilding department, about the progress and challenges that continue to affect women in politics across Latin America.

Women have been shaping American politics since its beginning — organizing movements, expanding rights, and redefining leadership at every turn. But over the past decade, that long struggle has collided with a new wave of visibility and backlash. ⁠Emerge is now recruiting the class of 2026⁠ From the raw sexism of 2016, to the record-breaking “pink wave” of 2018, to the post-2024 debate over whether women are even electable, the story of women in politics reveals how deeply gender still defines power in America. In this episode, A'shanti Gholar, President and CEO of Emerge, traces that arc — and explains why women aren't stepping back. She calls it the Kamala Effect: the surge of women still running, organizing, and leading despite unprecedented hostility. We talk about what that resilience looks like — from local campaigns and judicial races to the national fight for representation — and what it means to “lock in” as we head into the next wave of elections. Emerge came directly out of Kamala Harris' first run for office in the early 2000s. Watch ⁠here⁠. If you've ever wondered whether women can still change the direction of American democracy, this episode is both a roadmap and a signal to lock in. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Dr. Helen Baxendale of Great Hearts Academies interview longtime public education champion and Learning Curve co-host Alisha Searcy. Alisha joins the show as a guest to share her story and insights into K-12 public education reform. Herself a product of public-school choice, she discusses how those early experiences shaped her belief in accessible, high‑quality schooling for all students. Elected to the Georgia House at age 23, Alisha spent six terms crafting key education reform laws and policies, including the intradistrict transfer law and the charter school authorizer amendment, that sought to put students at the center of school reform efforts. She then transitioned into school leadership, serving as superintendent of a network of charter public schools in metro Atlanta, where she led dramatic academic improvement and operational turnaround. Drawing on both her legislative and schoolhouse experience, Alisha now leads an ambitious effort like Center for Strong Public Schools (CSPS) and CSPS Action, to support center-left state policymakers in navigating education challenges and designing student‑first public schools. In closing, she explains why the current moment presents unique opportunities to strengthen K-12 public education, especially in Southern states that are facing both pressing achievement needs and prospective school innovations.
