32: Raising Women Up: "Don't Empower Me, Pay Me”
Did you know that on the very day — International Women's Day — meant to honour and empower women, many female speakers are asked to speak for free? This almost negates the purpose of this significant event.
In this powerful episode, Jacqueline unpacks the essence and revolutionary origins of International Women's Day (IWD). For over a century, IWD has been a day to celebrate women's achievements and advocate for gender equality. However, Jacqueline explores how in recent years commercial interests have hijacked the day's meaning, using it for promotions and social events rather than furthering women's rights.
The overarching message is that the mindset and actions to empower women through fair compensation and platforms cannot be limited to one day — it must become the norm. Remember, proper compensation, not just praise, can help spearhead change, inclusivity, and equality.
If you’re eager to do your part in shifting this mindset, this episode is perfect for you.
