Ep8: International Women’s Day Edition w/ Guest Jyoti Sohal-David - Progression Favors Some, Not All
Listen now
Description
Today marks the 109th International Women’s Day. During this month, we want to celebrate and highlight women from all walks of life, we will be talking about equality, the progression so far, and the work ahead to do even better to reach full inclusivity and equity. Throughout the last 200 years, we've seen the progression of gender equality and a rise of feminism, but this progress is unfortunately still too far from full gender equality. Research shows the gender gap will take an estimated 135 years to close, and in addition, the road to our goal will not be just for all women. The progression we've seen so far favors some women over others. We need to hear more from people with truly diverse backgrounds and identities to #breakthebias of gender stereotyping and discriminating and our own bias in choosing who should benefit over others in this progression. We are delighted to bring on our friend, Jyoti Sohal-David, in this episode to share her incredible story. She is the founder & CEO of Skillhus, a recruitment and consultancy agency that specializes in increasing diversity and inclusion in Norwegian workplaces. We sit down for a timely conversation for International Women’s Day on internationality, identity, and intersectionality. *Subscribe to us for more content!* ✨ Instagram: Modern__idealist  ✅ Follow Modern Idealist on: Spotify / Apple Podcast / Google Podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/modernidealist/message
