  • 78: Financial Independence For Women - Jonell van der Wal

    When it comes to money and finance, women often end up with

    the short end of the stick. Or they are short-changed, if you will. Because women are facing financial obstacles that men are not. The gender pay gap is just one example of that.

    Reason enough for women to start taking care of their finances

    and to work towards financial independence.

    Jonell van der Wal is a money mindset coach and host of the

    podcast op je money and today, we are going to talk about how girls are socialized when it comes to money, the so-called girl math, and some easy basic steps for you to build up your savings.

  • 77: "We Are All Included In Exclusion" - Dina-Perla Portnaar

    We all live in the same world, but at the same time we don’t. We might call a certain place or a certain community our home, but at the same time, it can be an entire different universe from the life other people are living. Some communities, religious or not, actively isolate their members. Sometimes it is the civil society that is responsible for the exclusion of an individual or a certain group of people.

    Dina-Perla Portnaar has experienced isolation and exclusion

    herself when she grew up. And she knows that today in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, maybe people and many groups still have to face exclusion. And she knows that most of us also play an active role in that, whether we are aware of it or not.

  • 76: Intimate Partner Violence And Femicide - Tessel ten Zweege

    Every eight days.

    Every eight days, a woman in the Netherlands is killed by

    her partner or her ex-partner.

    Every eight days, in this country, there is a femicide.

    And until the Netherlands manage to bring structural change

    on the way. It is going to continue to happen. Every eight days.

     

    Tessel ten Zweege is an activist and author of several books

    about gender-based violence and femicide in the Netherlands. And she is going to explain to us the dynamics or abusive relationships, why it is not always easy to leave, what needs to change to prevent femicide and what friends and family can do to help.

  • 75: Witches In The Netherlands - Bregje Hofstede & Jente Posthuma

    They are evil, they are ugly and we should all be afraid of them. We have learned that from fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel.  But what if witches were never the bad ones? What if they were in fact the victims of the story?

    Jente Posthuma and Bregje Hofstede have been working on the

    topic of witches and witch trials for a while now and they know the witch hunts are by no means only a thing of the past.

  • 73: The Lesbian Escort Agency De Stoute Vrouw - Lex van Delft

    In this episode, we are going to break two taboos. This is not me saying this, this is what my guest said. Lex van Delft is the founder of de stoute vrouw, the naughty woman, a lesbian escort service agency. That obviously includes sex work and female sexuality which is still an issue for some people or at least something they have a strong opinion on. But Lex van Delft knows that – even though, yes of course, it can also just be sex, pleasure, horniness, fun and a good time – her agency offers so much more than that.

  • 72: "I Love To Make White Men Sweat" - Sela Graaven

    In the patriarchy, anyone who is not white, straight and cis-male, has to work extra hard to make it in this world. But for women of color, it is even more difficult. Due to lack of support and chances, the feeling of constantly swimming against the current and the lack of role models.


    This is why Sela Graaven wants to introduce the world to women of color who have made it on their own terms. With womenselfmade, a platform and a podcast for women of color and allies.

  • 71: Behind The Scenes: Women In Filmmaking - Valentina El Harizi

    The film industry is one of the best (or the worst if you

    will) examples of male domination and the male gaze. Female actresses earn significantly less than their male counterparts and the amount of women behind the camera is minimal in comparison.

    That is the status quo. But it is not the future. Because

    there are women in the industry who are determined to break this system. Women like Valentina El Harizi want to create a film industry with a real representation of the complexity of society, the world, and yes, women.

  • 70: Can The Netherlands Achieve Real Equity, Inclusion And Justice? - Geraldine Moodley

    Would a Person of Color in the Netherlands feel safe enough to report an incident of discrimination at their workplace? Would a muslim woman with a hijab understand Dutch police as a safe enough space for her to report an islamophobic attack?

    Just because certain systems are in place doesn't mean they work for everybody. Sometimes, it might be safer to keep quiet to avoid even more hate, aggression or abuse.

    Geraldine Moodley is a human rights lawyer and founder of her own company in which she trains, advises and consults with organisations in

    developing a tangible strategy and execution for diversity, inclusion and leadership.


    And together, we are going to take a good long hard look at the Netherlands and the systems that it has put in place.

  • 69: Miss Journey: Is AI Sexist? - Helen Pink

    Did you know that when you ask AI to visualize a professional, less than 20 % are women? In other words: If you tell AI: Show me an image of a pilot, an astronaut, a doctor, most of the results are images of white cis-male.

    But now, there is Miss Journey. And Helen Pink, my guest for today, is going to explain what Miss Journey has to do with AI and why we all need to be critical in the use of AI in general.
