• 0:42
  Speaker 2: because that is what the month of March is.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We do it all the time on this show.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: It's kind of obviously, Oh that's our entire show, yes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: But I did want to shout it out since, especially
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: as we discussed in our recent calendar episode, our DEI
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: episode with Bridget, a lot of companies are trying to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: erase things like this, like Black History Month, Women's History Month,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but not here hell no, no, no, no, no no no.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So I just wanted to look into it and maybe
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: kickstart off the month, get some ideas from you listeners. Hopefully,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I would love to hear from all of you if
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you do any celebrations. I was looking at events, people do,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and I got a wide range of things like wine
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and cheese Women's History Night, or like children's book reading,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: like I got a bunch of stuff.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Or you could do like what we're going to do,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and we're going to reunite with some friends who love
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: to talk about women's history.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We aretent hint.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That, yes, we are doing a lot of interviews this
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: month that we're very excited about, so keep an ear
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: out for those. But yeah, let us know if there
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: are things you want us to do, if you're a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: hosting event, we'd love to hear about it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, just a really brief history here.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I know we've talked about it more in depth in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the past, but you can so you can check out
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: those episodes. But Women's History Week kicked off in nineteen
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: seventy eight in California. It was sort of an educational
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: celebration that then caught on across the US to coincide
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: with International Women's Day in March. The first time that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: International Women's Day happened was in nineteen eleven. In nineteen eighty,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a group of women successfully campaigned then President Jimmy Carter,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: who released a presidential proclamation recognizing the week of March
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: eighth as National Women's History Week. In nineteen eighty seven,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the federal government recognized National Women's History Month, and beginning
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety five, every US president issued a statement
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: about Women's History Month when it rolled around until this year.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, we'll see what happens, but I'm going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: assume nothing because we are recording this. We're recording this
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: on February twenty seven five, So you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Know, maybe a lot of at least Malaniay just come
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: up and way at us.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, that's all we get. Yes, that's all.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: That's all an immigrant, white woman waving us from afar.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, all right, Well we'll see protections anyone.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: We should have. Man, if we released this earlier, we
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: could have made this a whole like bingo game, like
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a bedding pool.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Trying to predict things in this time is wild. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't know. I have to think about that myself, to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Probably a big fan zero.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna That's what I think it's gonna be.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But we'll see.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, it would be better than that than him
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: being like, you know what, let's make this even worse
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and do things against trans women, which is what he's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: already doing. So because he's awful.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, definitively Sminty can say, okay, Well, that being said,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Declaration and Platform for Action, which was this huge, sweeping
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: international document and agreement around women and girls rights around
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the world. It tackled things like legal protections and social norms,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: sexist ideas, access to services, and getting youth involved in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: all of this. So you can still read the document
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: if you would like, or you can find kind of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the cliff notes version on the UN website. And this
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: year the UN is revisiting the Beijing Decoration with the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: theme for All Women and Girls Rights, Equality, Empowerment for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Women's for International Women's Day on March eighth, twenty twenty five.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And so they have six main goals and they all
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: start for all women and girls. But I'm not going
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to read that every time, but just know it all
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: starts with up a digital revolution, freedom from poverty, zero violence,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: full an equal decision making, power, peace and security, climate justice.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And again if you go to their website, they have
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like they have plans for how they're going to accomplish
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: these things. They have macro and microways you can participate
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: or what they're trying to do. They're still updating it
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: as we speak, so we'll see if more gets added.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: According to the International Women's Day site, the theme this
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: year because they do themes I actually didn't know this,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and I feel ashamed of myself, but every year they do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Themes is accelerate action. They posted. At the current rate
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of progress, it will take until twenty one fifty eight,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: gender parity. According to data from the World Economic Forum,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the theme selected by the National Women History Alliance or
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is moving forward together women, educating and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: inspiring generations. Now, the interesting thing I'm I'm looking to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: see what's going to what will unfold, is that these
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: companies that we've talked about, who so readily abandoned all
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of this stuff, are still trying to capitalize it without
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: capitalize on it, without supporting it. So I got this
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: whole message from Amazon that's like give a woman in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: your life a Woman's Day gift.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Really, wow, okay, okay, interesting, interesting, but yeah, I mean,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: unfortunately if you go to the UN Sight for women,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: they do have a lot of areas where we've progressed
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: around the world, especially in like things like domestic violence
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and education, educational parody. But there's also been a lot
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of backslide as I'm sure no I a surprise by
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: especially if you listen to the show. So they had
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a bunch of like, we're going backwards in these areas too.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So we have a lot of things we're gonna have
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to talk about and keep an eye on always, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: in this Women's History Month, just to keep in mind
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: all of these issues that we're facing and to always
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: keep that intersectionality in mind because it's a we've got
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: quite a fight ahead of us for sure, for sure.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Right And just an fyi, I remember reading this and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I just found it again. Trump was going against the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: UN's Women's anything because it emphasized gender ideology or diversity,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: equity and inclusion, and voted against anything within the UN
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that would uplift that. So anything related to women, they
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: were like, no, we can't.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Literally, This is from truthout dot org. It says in
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a statement, US Acting Representative to the UN Economic and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Social Counsel, Jonathan Schreier said that the US had quote
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: no other option than to vote against a document, saying
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: that the program conflicts with the US policies literally talking
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: about because it says DEI.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So yep, yep, that's.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Where we are.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: That's where we are, and that's why we're going to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: keep We're going to keep sharing these stories, these important conversations.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's still Women's History Month for us and for always.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's going to take a lot of us
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: working together to combat this. So again, listeners, let us
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: know what you would like us to talk about. If
• 8:45
