all women or generally powerless, all women died young, all women were vulnerable. this period of 1770 to 1850 is a period of enormous change and social upheaval. the country expanded to its the-size during this, from east board colonies to the pacific ocean. the population growth was enormous. we created a democracy during this period. it was the start up of industrialization in america and the institutionalization of slavery into every aspect of american life. during this period, there were some changes for american women -- white american women. their lives became more restricted by state nd by newions a definitions of what was appropriate for them, what was a true woman's appropriate behavior. there were increased opportunities for some white women through education and employment, but slaves and african-americans and what i said about white woman would apply to free black women, a small opposition. -- population. became even more vulnerable, the slaves. all of them had hard, dependent, short lives. i am going to try to blend. this is a short version of what is

women than for democratic women? i've heard some of the -- one of the hypothesis is, again, when you're the party in power, you're not going to -- aren't as many challengers, but there are primaries and that it's harder for republican women to make it through a primary electorate. is that a fair assessment or theory? >> i don't know. i think that -- listen, my first race i had a really tough primary and i beat three guys, and one was a significant self funder who spent, i think, about $8 million against me. so i think that the big step is getting women to run. do i think republican women can win a primary? we've seen it happen. we saw deb fischer, you know, win in nebraska and beat a couple of really capable guys, who had history in the state of winning elective office like an attorney general. and so we can see -- and we saw joni ernts do the same thing in iowa. what i'm worried about is having them do it and get out there is the bigger issue. one issue is funding. how many organizations exist that can help to suppo

so how can women be monogamous? but women often perpetuate fgm.at the males do. the women want it sometimes... they are brainwashed. slaves are always against slaves. it's a slave mentality. when you are oppressed, you oppress your children. especially your daughters. this is psychology. the point is we have to understand that why female genital mutilation or why male genital mutilation is still today still durable and it is still now. why are males circumcised? nobody asks. it's very much related to female circumcision. and it's related to monogamy for women and polygamy for men. in orderfor women to be monogamous, they must be circumcised, to be satisfied with one man, you know? so it's related to monogamy. there are other issues, you bring up monogamy and looking at the issue of marriage, i wanted to raise a particular case with you that is making a lot of headlines at moment, the case of noura hussein, a 19—year—old woman in the sudan, neighbouring. to egypt... and you were born in sudan. i was born there. you're absolutely right, dr el sadaaw

amy: is it different for republican women than democratic women? when you are the party in power, there are not as many challengers, but there are primaries, and then it is harder for republican women to make it through a primary electorate. is that a fair assessment? ms. ayotte: i don't know. my first race, it was a tough primary, and i beat three guys. one of them spent i think $8 million against me. i think a big step is getting women to run. do i think republican women can win a primary? we have seen it happen. we saw a win in nebraska, beating a couple of really capable guys, who had a history of winning, like in attorney general. and we saw joni ernst do that in iowa, so republican women can succeed in these primaries. where i worry is having them do it and getting out there is an even bigger issue. one of the issues also is funding. how many organizations exist that can help to support republican women running for office, versus there are a number of avenues that democratic women have, like emily's list, that support women specifically runni

to include the future will be good it will be more equal between men and women going to and women will be able to develop more than men. they've started to do some really good things for women they gain me in this up. to. listen to some music you like. or a strange feel like you don't know yet listening to music in public that's also new in saudi arabia it's only when the camera is off that these women dared to tell me that their level of freedom still depends on their male chaperons. another nation undergoing economic reforms is morocco a country wedged between two continents africa and europe it's hard pleasing both but as a key crossing point morocco is crucial in controlling the stream of migrants from other parts of africa trying to reach europe to start a better life some escaping political unrest war economic downturns for moroccans finding a job at home can also be a struggle even with skills which is where occupational training can play a part. in general it's really hard to find a job in the whole of the soviet union like to be very useful. like because well for telling diffe

of women faculty. ork -- the work experience formed the core of the book, and i really cannot summarize them. what i want to do, however, is read a few quotes they give you a feel of what women faced and how by themselves and with the it a of mentors, they faced down discrimination. shirley hufstetler, later federal appeals court judge in the first secretary of the u.s. department of education, ranked fifth at stanford law school, tied with warren christopher, later secretary of state. christopher was sent by stanford for a clerkship interview with supreme court justice william o douglas. hufstetler, it was suggested, should interview for a legal ecretary's position. hufstetler said no, thanks. in her oral history, she commented, "nobody would hire me." fifth rank at stanford. "nobody would hire me, so i just created my own job mainly doing legal memoranda." she goes on, "what may startle people today is that nobody would hire a female lawyer. nobody. the profession at that time was far more segregated

denigrate women. then they moved toward trying to tighten the rolls women can play in the larger society. i say all of that because when i went to beijing. and i told my husband. i told the white house. the united states needed to be in the forefront of advocating for women's rights around the world. it was an hour national security interest. i believe that passionately. i was invited to speak at beijing and i want to go. nobody else wanted me to go. it took really my husband saying to his foreign policy team i agree with her. we should be on the forefront. i wentz. the chinese were very unhappy at my speech. they cut off the sound throughout the giant convention center. so that it would be broadcast. it wasn't covered in the chinese press. interesting post story. i got a email two years ago from a friend of mine -- huge department store in beijing. they had muzak. they had my speech. nobody could believe it including me. what person stuck that speech in their. i think that even the chinese government

they became race women. champions for the race. that's what white women did.were gonna back our book brother. we understand that impulse. we didn't see white women as being racial black feminist like to talk about it but, the white women moved in ways their categories o dominance. once you know something about race and gender, you have to go get it. you see it moving in a way that is going to harm, but they are you. that's your church lady, your yoga friend. when i see black women having feelings like that i feel like i have to go talk to them and say look, were not gonna fight black women because we have to fight white woman. why are we going to battle for category and then make someone else fight, that's terrible. so, go gather my people. m not like i don't have a problem with you so i'm not like the others. yes i am. i don't say sums a black woman in black women -- you need to have a conversation. and folks say it is so hard. yes, i know. i am very clear about how hard it is. but i talked to brothers about it. who wants to partner with a man, black man on f

women than for democratic women? i heard some of them one of the hypothesis is, when you're the party in power you are not going, they're not as many challengers. but there are primaries and it's hard f republican women to make it through a primary electorate. is that a fair assessment? >> i don't know. listen, my first race, i had a really tough primary and i beat three guys and one of them was a significant self fund who spend about 8 million bucks against me. i think that the big step is getting women to run. do i think republican women can win a primary? we have seen it happen. we saw deb fischer when in nebraska and beat a couple of really capable guys who had history in the state of winning atrney general., like an and we saw joni ernst to the same thing i would. so republican women can succeed in these primaries where i worry is having can do it and ask a get out there is even a bigger issue. what issues is funding. how many organizations exist that can help to support republican women who are running for offi

a shortage of local women. i'm steve cho on this episode a one on one east we meet those traveling to the far reaches of the earth to look for look. at first sight the faroe islands make your heart skip a beat. secluded in the north atlantic ocean it's striking mountains a cloaked in fog there's not a tree or a person inside it hard to imagine for someone from the philippines and looking so although there's no hell so. close the house this is just thinking. many have never heard about this tiny country at the door of the arctic circle especially in tropical thailand when i told my friend that i going to be unfair and they say why you go to keep it there yes. home to only fifty thousand people and eighty thousand sheep. it's also cold and wet. and the strain. a lot. and in darkness for more than half of the year. went. blooming. everything it's like. because we come from one country and big country and then here is so small. but stay a while and something happens in a place that seems like it's on the edge of th

rights of women and girls. and, actually, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the u.n. convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women ordinance that puts san francisco on the map. it was the first time that a local jurisdiction took a u.n. instrument and made a local ordinance out of it. and several years ago the late mayor ed lee launched the city's campaign encouraging other mayors to embrace this international bill of rights for women. i'm very proud to report that over 70 cities and counties across the country have joined this campaign, including louisville, salt lake city and in rapid city, south dakota, the women there organized and elected five women to the city council so that they can pass the ordinance. and flag two summarizes the three-year budget comparison of fiscal year 2017-2018, and 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. 84% of our budget is dedicated to our violence against women prevention and intervention grant program. and i'll have another slide that breaks that down. abo

know women they are ram. sorry. sorry go ahead sam what was the point of the minority i'm saying the using the example of inheritance is a very very bad example only one person does not i think into account context of society the other roles in society it cannot be called progress and what sipsey has done here is appeal to an international audience a secular audience at the expense of a majority so many conservative society it is a tyranny of the minority what simpson is doing in tunisia but the rest of your points i mean i can agree with that woman's rights definitely there should be more i mean just one for one one point two seven in london how much of this you've already touched on this how much of this say when you look at the situation surrounding the company around co is about the country's ability to look outward instead of being in sooner and looking in on itself there are other countries in this region that are quite outward looking and they are or they have successfully diversified into other indust

black women such as ida d. wells turned to the press and organized sexual justice as a right of citizenship. in the decades before the the civil war, black women, freed and enslaved, with the aid of a few white women, managed to draw attention to the master slave rape narrative. their campaigns for sexual justice took on many forms. from written protest to violent resistance. we can think of jacobs, we can think of a slave who killed the master who raped her. we can think of margaret garner and her escape across the ohio river and the murder of her daughter. together, these women, black and white, challenged the monopoly of laws, traditions, and ideas that reinforced white men's sexual power and placed black women outside the legal and moral definition of rape. these were the years in which black women and their allies waged war against slavery and began to imagine a new kind of american citizenship that included black women and every woman's right to withhold consent and to legal protection. during the civil w

women. for me,ctation for me when i was going up, was essentially that i would find some man to marry and become a housewife and raise a family. emily: how did you break out of that? drew: i was good in school and i loved school. so as i pursued my educational ambitions, that took me into college, and into a world where different expectations prevailed. i went to an all women's college and i was taught by powerful intellectuals, scholastic and academic women. so i began to see possibilities in their lives that i was able to imagine for my own. emily: you were the first harvard president without a harvard degree. you went to the university of pennsylvania after graduating from bryn mawr with a history degree, then i became history professor. drew: i was a student activist in college, very involved in politics, civil rights issues, vietnam war protests, and cared a lot about changing the world and having an impact on the world. when i graduated from college i worked in the department of housin

political women would actually cite three reasons. number one, the women's rights movement. number two, watergate. number three, betty ford's frankness. she really did have an impact in changing the landscape for political wives. in the last section of my book, i look at how the first ladies have acted within the highly charged partisan environment around motherhood and family politics. this brings me to my sixth and final conclusion i will share with you tonight. first ladies must act in concert with the agendas of their andective political party husband's administration. i would be remiss not to mention barbara bush, who of course passed away last tuesday. i think she's a great example of how first lady's do oftentimes act in line with her husband's administration and party. barbara bush was not always in line with the republican party and the bush administration. she was sometimes more in line with betty ford on a lot of issues. but she did not speak out on them. the republican party of the mid-1970's was very different than the republican party of the early 1990's. it wa

there are issues like documentation status that terrorize women and women who have spoken today who are transgendered who do not feel safe in your criminal justice system so we need to look at these issues that compound sexual assault and need to figure out how to allow women to feel safe to come forward in the first place and get medical treatment which they so richly need and deserve and then there are countless women who go to the second where the rape is their secondary medical issue and they are in such bad shape because they are living on our streets and they have a serious substance abuse addiction and they are not sexually assaulted just once but that is a regular part of their life living on the streets of san francisco. we need a safe place for survivors to go so they don't go back to the same street where they are sexually assaults again and again and again. the sharp office is one intervention in a much larger intervention that needs to take place in the city and county of san francisco and all over the country. sharp is just one intervention but so critically important. it

who are predominantly black women, incarcerated at a rate twice as much as white women. and that doubles again when we look at the population of women in jails. that has increased 14 times over the last decades. so women might not be doing as much hard time, they're just cycling in and out of local jail cells, three days, ten days, ninety days, six months, a year at rikers instead of going up state, but there's are even less programming, less support in those kind of places. but that's not part of our story of mass incarceration. if we read the new jim crow, the story is one that doesn't include the stories of those women. and so the goal of invisible no more was to tell more stories, right? to fold more stories into the mix. not to just add them, but to see how that actually changed the gumbo, right? how does that actually change how we understand things. so would it make visible black women's experiences of driving while black beyond the notable exception of sandra bland, when we first a woman named ayala aramis who was pulled over for driving while black. would we see

but there is a disconnect between the representation of women and the participation of women. then it could be alarming. so how can you narrowed this disconnection, sarah? so one possible explanation for this disconnection could be that, in many parts of asia, women become leaders. and yet gender equality doesn't improve. their presence could be seen as tokenistic. so asia is marked by greater discrepancy between women's rights and social rights, and as long as this disparity exists, there's little reason for women to get inspired to engage in politics. president trump and kim jong—un are preparing to meet in singapore next week, in a summit many thought could never take place. the venue for the meeting has been announced, and it will be here at the luxurious capella hotel, on sentosa island. the five—star, colonial—style hotel boasts several resorts, beach clubs, two golf courses, and a theme park. it is one of the finest hotels in singapore — no surprise, perhaps, given the president knows a thing or two about hotels. so rico, sentosa it is. you have been there once or twice

business and women and hr departments are wondering why they lose the women? best talent because with an ageing population we must have the best people at the top of business. gender equality and the gender pay gap has now been a major issue front and centre because last week the head of qatar airways said that he, that only a man could do hisjob. one that he, that only a man could do his job. one of that he, that only a man could do hisjob. one of our most that he, that only a man could do his job. one of our most successful business women in the uk was the chief executive of easyjet. when she was there she said that the men are getting paid more because they are the pilots and the women are the cabin crew. she said right click i will recruit more women pilots. is the gender pay gap narrowing?m will recruit more women pilots. is the gender pay gap narrowing? in due course, as they come through if you can help women get to the top jobs they will then get the necessary pgy- they will then get the necessary pay. it is not help women. it is helping business. and

women are exempt from the draft.elective service says only young men of age 18 have to register, but the equal rights amendment will positively make women subject to the draft and on an equal basis with men. nor could you have a system whereby the women would get all the nice, easy desk jobs and the men get all the fighting jobs. it would have to be equal across the board in combat, on warships, and all up and down the line. >> the argument against the equal rights amendment was about the draft, which, by the way, we don't have anymore. >> right. >> oh, and, by the way, we have women in combat. >> right. willingly. >> willingly. women want to be in combat and are. i mean, that wasn't, to be fair, the only argument against the equal rights amendment, but that was one of them, and the equal rights amendment has come back. it passed in 2017 in nevada, and then it passed just last month in may in illinois. now the equal rights amendment is one state away from the 38 needed to ratify an amendment. would you support a u.s.

being targeted because they're women but also by islands that disproportionately impacts women and what we have in the garment supply chain is we have an eighty percent garment worldwide women garment workers but on top of that women are concentrated in the lower casual temporary subordinate roles where they're subjected to industrial discipline practices that are driven by fast fashion demands where workers managers and the. small and medium term enterprises are required to turn over orders at a rapid pace that's constantly accelerating so that we can get new clothes on the rack. but. the way that you run your companies. is is almost a model for how business businesses can actually operate but do you see the other people let's just concentrate on bangladesh are not doing the same thing with their government workers for instance you have an education program for your workers say kids can go to school people have your mobile phone number they can cool you or else are you doing for your work is. oh and our workers now go to university those with him so we have a special program but that i

saudi women's lives.of them spoke to us specifically about the guardianship system. until this moment, saudi women cannot travel, get married, or study without permission from the male guardian, and that can be the father, the son, the husband, any male relative. and they hope that one day they will see this changing as well. manal al—sharif is a saudi arabian women's rights activist and author of daring to drive: a saudi woman's awakening. shejoins me from sydney. you have been campaigning for this for a long time so presumably a triumphant day? an historic day for me. tell us more about how that will be received in saudi arabia. finally winning now will have freedom in their lives, that is it! saudi arabia will never be the same.” their lives, that is it! saudi arabia will never be the same. i can see it is making you emotional, how long has it been for you on this particular journey to get to this point today? i drove in 2011 and i was remanded and after that i made ita was remanded and after that i ma

for women educated abroad like myself, i would like to see women in leadership positions, women who canecision—making. i think saudi arabia has also started this, but very slowly. a few months ago we had a princess that was the first saudi woman to head a sports federation. we would like to see more women in leadership positions. women in positions of power. do you think this decision to allow women to drive could be the start? think this decision to allow women to drive could be the sternm think this decision to allow women to drive could be the start? it is. freedom of movement means freedom. it's freedom of choice. after that, you can choose to live anywhere, you can choose to escape abuse, and when you have freedom of movement you can do anything else. there will be conservatives in saudi arabia who are horrified by this reform. there have always been positions towards any reform. i can tell you that the majority of saudi people are supportive of women's rights. —— there have always been oppositions. i was proud of women going on the streets last night to show off their people cars,

women like mary joyce fulfill a big need on the faroe islands over the last decades younger women have been leaving in droves. i limited opportunities and a limited gene pool have meant that they've gone abroad prefer ring more choice in life and lot. there are now fifteen hundred fewer women than men between the ages of eighteen and sixty so how do the men feel about it. i. i i i i i. i. feel is my guide to the faroe ways my own mind is up to the growth of here or you who. are with all we're going to. be. a journalist and a local rock star finn is one of the most eligible bachelors on the island. he says he's not worried about a shortage of women he's not looking for love but he wouldn't mind if a male touch. perfect bachelor pad or. you know almost the same process this will really watch watch more cos it's a bit better. and some want to know the correct grade with the correct dose wait wait and. i'm not really that's one thing ok. leaving my broom behind i take up fitness offer to visit his bachelor pad. it's a glorious evening drive. during summer in the faroe islands daylight stre

or attacking women and jet when the women who are victims are not on the right or correct politicos are lying then they don't say anything let me give you an example this recent controversy about the kissing in korea. we skim they came with the name of the woman who was. that was innocent at that moment and yet here you are now for example. who has been in the controversy with the former president the daughter of former president. of the sister of former president. they are in a in acquiring right now and then the president and grand apologized on behalf of marcos on which for me is objectifying you know i do have to apologize for a woman you have to ask her first now that it's not seen as an assault on women's subjectivity and it's not seen as objectification or so. what would like to buy into the issue and get when be because to see that as more supply is an on the president instead of going into the structural to the problem because it is selective when it is so rare no there are really dilema who are a bit of being a they they they complain but when it is more also on our associ

out of reach for women. if it had been allowed to stand, the law would have closed three-quarters of the clinics in that state that provided abortion services. if it had been allowed to stand hundreds of thousands of women would have no option but to travel hundreds of miles for their reproductive health services. but the texas law didn't stand. women's constitutional rights did. that supreme court ruling sent a strong message, one women have been making for years and one we continue to make clear today. politicians have no business interfering with a woman's most personal decisions. unfortunately, many people on the right continue to ignore that message. unfortunately they have continued to push for damaging, extreme policies that ignore the supreme court and the constitution and women across the country. from day one president trump and vice president pence have made it clear that turning back the clock on women's health and reproductive rights is a top priority for them. the recently proposed harmful dome

why does the mind of lost protect women like the magna carta for women last anti-violence against women and children if the men in power exhibit sharp and stick mr genius thick and sexist village i want to give that to you antonio i want to get antennas take on the campaign and what you think of it well when we say we want to protect our women then you have a problem of consistency and this is what some people see that some feminists and some women's activists and some people who fight for women's rights tend to be seen a selective and this is because they're seen in a partisan lens for example there are there are people who are condemned out there if we're for doing certain things that are seemingly assaulting women or attacking women and jet when the women who are victims are not on the right or correct politicos are lying then they don't say anything let me give you an example this recent controversy about the kissing in korea. we skim they came with the name of the woman who was. that was seen as an attack against a woman and yet here you are now for example. who has been in the con
