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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Sex is everywhere in Amsterdam. At least, so it seems in the Red Light District, with the windows, live sex shows, and in souvenir shops with genitalia-shaped candy. Everything is legal, no big deal and everyone is cool with it. At least, this is the image that the Netherlands wants the world to have.

I am sure you already guessed it. It is not that easy. Because even though sex work is – technically – legal in the Netherlands, there are a lof of rules and restrictions as well as issues such as exploitation and human trafficking. The entire system is complex, to say the least.

My guest knows the system really well. Violet is a sex worker herself and a coordinator at Prostitution Information Centre in the Red Light District. Please note, Violet is not her real name. And she is going to help us understand how sex work in the Netherlands works, if the society is really as accepting as it seems and which changes she would like to see in the industry.

Girls and women with a disability are rarely seen in Dutch media, in campaigns or in pop culture. And if they are shown, then they are often reduced to only one thing: Their disability. Sophie-Anne Onland knows that girls and women with a disability are so much more and that they are capable of so many amazing things. This is why she wants to be a role model. With her public work, her speeches and her activism, she wants to help empower girls and women with a disability in the Netherlands.

On July 17, 2014, Flight MH17 takes off from Amsterdam bound for the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. But the plane with 298 people on board never arrives.

The route takes Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine, where an armed conflict is raging between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists. Civil aviation is banned from flying at low altitudes. But MH17 is flying ten kilometers above the ground. At 1:20 p.m. Dutch time, the plane disappears from radar. A ground missile explodes next to the plane and rips it apart. No one on board survives.

My guest for today, Ria van der Steen, was personally affected by this tragedy as she has lost family members in the crash. But she is also the one that dares to speak up against the people that are responsible for this.
