It was sort of an educational 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: celebration that then caught on across the US to coincide 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: with International Women's Day in March. The first time that 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: International Women's Day happened was in nineteen eleven. In nineteen eighty, 42 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: a group of women successfully campaigned then President Jimmy Carter, 43 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: who released a presidential proclamation recognizing the week of March 44 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: eighth as National Women's History Week. In nineteen eighty seven, 45 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: the federal government recognized National Women's History Month, and beginning 46 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety five, every US president issued a statement 47 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: about Women's History Month when it rolled around until this year. 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: Of course, we'll see what happens, but I'm going to 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: assume nothing because we are recording this.

Man, if we released this earlier, we 57 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: could have made this a whole like bingo game, like 58 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: a bedding pool. 59 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Trying to predict things in this time is wild. I 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I have to think about that myself, to 61 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: be honest. 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: Probably a big fan zero. 63 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna That's what I think it's gonna be. 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: But we'll see. 65 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it would be better than that than him 66 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: being like, you know what, let's make this even worse 67 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: and do things against trans women, which is what he's 68 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: already doing. So because he's awful. 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: Yes, definitively Sminty can say, okay, Well, that being said, 70 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing 71 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: Declaration and Platform for Action, which was this huge, sweeping 72 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: international document and agreement around women and girls rights around 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 2: the world. It tackled things like legal protections and social norms, 74 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: sexist ideas, access to services, and getting youth involved in 75 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: all of this. So you can still read the document 76 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 2: if you would like, or you can find kind of 77 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: the cliff notes version on the UN website. And this 78 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: year the UN is revisiting the Beijing Decoration with the 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: theme for All Women and Girls Rights, Equality, Empowerment for 80 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: Women's for International Women's Day on March eighth, twenty twenty five. 81 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: And so they have six main goals and they all 82 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: start for all women and girls. But I'm not going 83 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: to read that every time, but just know it all 84 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: starts with up a digital revolution, freedom from poverty, zero violence, 85 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: full an equal decision making, power, peace and security, climate justice. 86 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: And again if you go to their website, they have 87 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: like they have plans for how they're going to accomplish 88 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: these things. They have macro and microways you can participate 89 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: or what they're trying to do. They're still updating it 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: as we speak, so we'll see if more gets added. 91 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: According to the International Women's Day site, the theme this 92 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: year because they do themes I actually didn't know this, 93 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: and I feel ashamed of myself, but every year they do. 94 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: Themes is accelerate action. They posted. At the current rate 95 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: of progress, it will take until twenty one fifty eight, 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full 97 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: gender parity. According to data from the World Economic Forum, 98 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: the theme selected by the National Women History Alliance or 99 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is moving forward together women, educating and 100 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: inspiring generations. Now, the interesting thing I'm I'm looking to 101 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: see what's going to what will unfold, is that these 102 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: companies that we've talked about, who so readily abandoned all 103 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: of this stuff, are still trying to capitalize it without 104 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: capitalize on it, without supporting it. So I got this 105 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: whole message from Amazon that's like give a woman in 106 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: your life a Woman's Day gift. 107 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh. 108 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: Really, wow, okay, okay, interesting, interesting, but yeah, I mean, 109 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: unfortunately if you go to the UN Sight for women, 110 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: they do have a lot of areas where we've progressed 111 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: around the world, especially in like things like domestic violence 112 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: and education, educational parody. But there's also been a lot 113 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: of backslide as I'm sure no I a surprise by 114 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: especially if you listen to the show. So they had 115 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: a bunch of like, we're going backwards in these areas too. 116 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: So we have a lot of things we're gonna have 117 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: to talk about and keep an eye on always, but 118 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: in this Women's History Month, just to keep in mind 119 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: all of these issues that we're facing and to always 120 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: keep that intersectionality in mind because it's a we've got 121 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: quite a fight ahead of us for sure, for sure. 122 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: Right And just an fyi, I remember reading this and 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: I just found it again. Trump was going against the 124 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: UN's Women's anything because it emphasized gender ideology or diversity, 125 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: equity and inclusion, and voted against anything within the UN 126 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: that would uplift that. So anything related to women, they 127 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: were like, no, we can't. 128 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: Sorry. 129 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: Literally, This is from truthout dot org.
