The 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show happened while we slept last night and it was a stunner. Besides the gorgeously vibrant outfits, elaborate lingerie, and breathtaking models, there was also a lot of gossip happening on the runway. We've collected the best four tidbits (complete with many fun photos) to satisfy your Victoria's Secret show cravings.
Bella Hadid and ex, The Weeknd, stare each other down on the runway
Our hearts were broken when we found out that gorgeous Bella, 20, and The Weeknd (AKA Abel Tesfaye) had broken up. Although from the looks exchanged on the Victoria's Secret runway, things are far from over. Bella was strutting her stuff while The Weeknd was performing and the two exchanged some longing looks and smiles as she passed him. He looked like he was serenading her, rather than publicly performing. En route to Paris, Bella was caught Insta-stalking her ex, so we wouldn't be surprised if she was keen to kiss and make up.
Pregnant Angel
Professional beautiful person Irina Shayk stunned the crowd as she walked the runway for the Victoria's Secret show last night. Mostly because of her beauty, but partly because she was one of the most covered up people on the runway, in a trench coat and red fringe robe. Her outfits did nothing to quieten the rumours that she's pregnant with Bradley Cooper's child. The size of her boobs makes us think the rumours are true, as Irina is reportedly in her second trimester. We hope we look like that when we're pregnant!
Wardrobe Malfunctions
Although it was immediately obvious thanks to the elaborate costume, Gigi Hadid had a wardrobe malfunction while strutting her stuff down the catwalk. She handled it like a pro and didn't even blink, but a strap on her black bodysuit snapped and hung loose for the rest of her walk.
Bella and Gigi are the first sisters to walk the show together
Bella, 20, and Gigi, 21, made history as the first sisters ever to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show catwalk in the same show. The girls absolutely nailed their parts in the show, and both gained their wings, which is the model equivalent of an Oscar (for those of you not in the loop). Their mother shared an adorable flashback of the girls dressing as angels when they were toddlers, which made their achievement even sweeter. Meanwhile, my sister and I struggle to walk to the fridge together.
Well done to all the models and Angels who made the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show a resounding success! #squadgoals

UNSCR 1325: Lessons from Practitioners
This year is the 20th Anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, which reflects the global commitment to the importance of women in building peace and security, and strong, inclusive societies. UNSCR 1325, and the nine UN resolutions that follow, recognize women's central role in peace, security and stability; women's right to be included in negotiations around war, peace and conflict resolution; and the importance of addressing the different needs of women and men in relief, recovery and post-conflict efforts.
Over the last several weeks, I met with several groups of international leaders visiting the U.S., all working in post-conflict countries to build peace and strengthen their countries' institutions. Some of the participants were from urban areas; some from rural areas. Some are in government; some in civil society. These women and men — and many more like them — are key to efforts across the globe to make peace and security real in communities. Every day, they translate the rhetoric of the U.N. and governments to the lives of women, men, girls and boys. Their work defines and reflects the on-the-ground reality of this work.
Here are some key takeaways:
- Every issue is relevant to women's lives: Despite the global commitment of UNSCR 1325, we often hear that "women's issues" will be dealt with once there is a peace agreement. That approach doesn't work.When women are included in discussions and peace talks, women bring a broad set of issues and solutions to the table, and agreements last longer. The women I met over brought both policy expertise and knowledge of their communities. They were experts in criminal justice reform, environment and sustainability, and election systems. Their expertise, and the perspectives they bring, matters in terms of strong policy solutions and ensuring that everyone's views are being considered.
- Bringing women together who work on these issues is critically important. There are many lessons that women can learn from each other, from how to be an effective negotiator, how to represent community interests without being seen as partisan in peace negotiations, and how to engage men as part of these processes. It's important that from various parts of the women, peace and security "ecosystem" understand how they complement each other's roles: women in civil society raising issues and women in government drafting policies that bring those concerns and proposals to life.
- Women doing this work to build peace don't always see the connections to work elsewhere. The UNSCR resolutions around women, peace and security provide a global and local framework for thinking about these complex issues and for analyzing progress. But women on the ground don't always see their work as connected to that framework, or see what they do as part of a global movement. Ensuring that their work is chronicled and captured helps them see these connections and helps international actors understand the connections as well.
- Supporting peace builders is essential and we must listen to what these peace builders need from us. Local context and local leadership matters. It's critical to listen to, and support, local leaders. Women and men engaged in peacebuilding and conflict resolution take many risks. They live in conflict zones and communities that have often been torn apart. They put their lives on the line, and they also push boundaries around about what is possible to resolve a conflict. Members of the international community need to support what they do, in whatever ways peacebuilders identify. In some cases, it may be highlighting their work publicly; in some cases not.
- We ignore engaging men at our peril. Just as women are central to peace building and building strong post-conflict institutions, so are men. Many of the women I met with talked about what contributions they were making, but also how they work with men in their communities and countries to support women's inclusion. Men need to be engaged so that they understand how communities can be rebuilt in a more equitable way following conflict.
As we mark these last 20 years, and recommit to engaging women in peace and security, we need to keep learning from those who make this work real every day. They bring international commitments and resolutions to life.
Honor the Suffragists by Fighting for Women's Rights
Today, more women than men vote in the United States. For example, in the 2016 election, 55 percent of American women voted; only 52 percent of men voted. Women voters are courted by both political parties and by candidates, and our voting behavior is constantly scrutinized. More women are also running for office than ever before. Currently, 24 percent of members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 25 percent of U.S. Senators are women. Both major political parties have nominated women for either president or vice president.
American women did not always have the right to vote. Women gained that right 99 years ago — in 1920 — when the 19th Amendment was ratified. As we mark this anniversary, there are numerous programs and exhibits illustrating the struggle for women's suffrage, which isn't often taught in school or widely known. The fight spanned over 70 years, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment. The struggle here in the U.S. took place as women across the globe also fought for their right to vote. Between 1918 and 1921, women gained the right to vote in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Women in the U.S. began fighting for the right to vote in the mid-1800s, after passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, which granted African American men the right to vote. Make no mistake, the women who fought for suffrage were held back by legal barriers to their participation in public life as well as social norms about their role in society. Despite this, American women organized, marched, went to prison, committed civil disobedience, lobbied office holders and candidates at every level and in both political parties, and navigated complex political and legal terrain.
And, they organized across the country, riding trains, sending telegrams, having no access to social media and cell phones. They were called names, castigated as agitators who would tear apart society and family, and their appearances often mocked. They dealt with the legacy of the Civil War and racism, which was often used by those opposing suffrage and at times, by those favoring it.
From the time of the first bitter referendum in 1867 to ratification of the 19th Amendment, the suffragists undertook 480 petition and lobbying drives to get state legislatures to submit suffrage amendments to voters; 277 campaigns to get state party conventions to include women's suffrage planks in their platforms; and, 56 state referendum campaigns. Women in the Western U.S. gained rights to vote before the rest of the country and in many places, women could vote for some, but not all, offices.
The ratification of the 19th Amendment came down to one state (Tennessee) and the vote of Harry Burn (the youngest member of the Tennessee General Assembly, who changed his vote because of a note from his pro-suffrage mother). It's an iconic and heartwarming story.
As I moderated a panel last month on this topic, the lesson I took away was that women's suffrage was not inevitable, and neither is any social change. Change happens because citizens organize and fight for it. As Casey Cep recently wrote in the New Yorker: "Apart from inaccuracy, one of the greatest flaws in any historical account is a sense of inevitability. The idea that women were always going to get the right to vote in the U.S. ignores the reality that women only got that right in Switzerland in 1971 and Saudi Arabia in 2015. It also fails to explain why the right was granted to American women in 1920, as opposed to 1919 or 1918, or perhaps more pointedly in 1776."
It is easy to look back and see women's suffrage, and Harry Burn's vote, or the passage of civil rights, or the election of women to office, as inevitable. They aren't. They happen because committed individuals and organizations lay the groundwork, take risks, challenge norms, revise laws and policies, and work to convince others. The suffragists did just that, so that each of us can participate in American politics and public life. We owe it to them and their struggle to keep working towards a society where everyone can fully participate.
The Smash Index
Today we are launching The Smash Index to measure gender equality on each presidential campaign. Why are we doing this?
- Gender issues and the role of women in our society are on the front line of current policy discussions due to the rise of the #MeToo movement, advocacy around pay equity, and attacks on women's reproductive rights.
- Campaigns today are multi-million dollar small businesses. They should build in strong diversity and inclusion policies, and consider gender. This is analogous to movements to push corporations and businesses to take actions to hire and retain women at all levels, and ensure that women are engaged in decision-making and product design.
- One of these candidates will begin their term in January 2021, we want to ensure that the President has considered these issues as she or he implements both domestic and foreign policy.
The Smash Index covers how the campaign is running and how gender is addressed in the campaign's policy and programs. With regard to internal management, questions focus on women's representation, pay at every level of the campaign and how issues such as sexual harassment, computer usage and leave are addressed. On the policy side, we question how women voters are targeted and how gender issues are integrated across policy plans.
Every presidential campaign is invited to complete the Index. Submissions are open now and will be accepted through August 15, 2019. All campaigns will be scored out of a total of 100 points based on their responses and publicly available information. Campaigns which do not respond will receive a zero. The full Index results will be released in early September.
The Smash Index is a tool for campaigns and voters. Campaigns from both parties can use it to showcase their gender equality efforts across their public policy and their campaign organizations. Voters can use it to compare the presidential campaigns on specific data points related to gender equality.
At Smash Strategies, we have decades of experience, internationally and domestically, working on politics, policy and advocacy. We understand that information is powerful in driving sustainable change. We think it's time that voters can understand how candidates for president and their campaigns translate rhetoric into reality.
Walking the Walk on Diversity, Inclusion and Accountability: Beyond #MeToo
Late last week, Nature Conservancy CEO Mark Tercek announced he would step down, the organization's latest departure in the wake of an investigation into sexual harassment and workplace misconduct. His departure came one week after the resignation of Nature Conservancy President Brian McPeek amid swirling complaints about workplace culture.
Workplace sexual harassment and assault are wrong. And, they are costly — both to those who experience it and to employers. Between 25 and 80 percent of women in the U.S. will experience workplace sexual harassment in her lifetime. Working in geographically isolated environments and male dominated professions makes employees more prone to harassment and assault, as does not having legal status and working in workplaces with significant power imbalances (from my perspective, that is almost every workplace).
Employee cost is staggering and personal: depression and anxiety, loss of confidence, decreased opportunities, forced job change, unemployment, and career abandonment. Research shows that 80 percent of women who experience sexual harassment leave their jobs within two years (as compared to 50 percent otherwise).
There is also a large cost to employers: loss of talented employees and their skills, legal fees, retraining costs, high turnover rates, low morale, and decreased productivity. Research shows that companies lose $28,000 (in 2018 dollars) in productivity per each person working on a team affected by harassment.
No sector or workplace can afford these costs. Every institution is at risk and must take action. Mission-driven organizations, like civil society organizations, humanitarian and development organizations, and governments are not immune. In fact, there have been well-publicized incidents in these sectors over the last several years.
I recently moderated a session with civil society leaders at the Open Government Partnership Summit in Ottawa. We focused on the following questions:
- What has worked to prevent, and respond, to workplace sexual harassment, especially in mission-driven organizations?
- What can influence organizational leaders who are skeptical?
- How can you build strong support at all levels of an organization for addressing these issues?
- How can an organization create and maintain a supportive environment for those who come forward?
During this session, we heard from women who had experienced workplace harassment, and from organizations that have reformed workplace policies. Here are five takeaways:
- Organizations need both strong leadership and staff engagement: Leaders and managers set the tone for how an organization responds to anything, including sexual harassment. Leaders need to also empower and involve staff in developing solutions. These staff-driven conversations can be transformational and lead to policies that exceed legal requirements and create new norms.
- Organizations need to invest in internal capabilities, develop clear processes and safeguard those who report. Organizations need to have full time HR staff, clear standards for behavior, policies and processes for addressing complaints, and effective training. They also must support those who experience harassment, and not just address those who commit it. Everyone needs to understand the process and it must be as transparent as possible while protecting privacy.
- Non-staff actors, like board members and funders, play a key role. Boards of directors hire and fire organizational leadership. In doing so, they must hold the organization's CEO accountable for policies she has put in place — or not — on this key topic. Not addressing workplace harassment is disrespectful to employees, is costly and undermines the organization's mission. Funders are especially influential in the non-governmental world as NGOs are dependent on them to keep their doors open. Funders need to pay attention, ask questions about what policies are in place, and fund organizations to develop safe workplaces.
- But, having a sexual harassment policy is not enough. Addressing harassment needs to be part of developing a workplace culture that values every employee's contribution. This includes policies that reflect how an organization values employees, such as equitable pay and promotion policies and family leave policies. This should be accompanied by regular meetings, training, and conversations on gender policy and other inclusion policies.
- Learning from others is key. It's important to share best practices and understand how other NGOs and institutions are applying gender equality and inclusion principles. Mission-driven organizations, often with employees across the globe in remote locations, face unique challenges. There needs to be a way to share what has worked, and build in opportunities for coaching.
These can be difficult issues, but taking steps to build strong processes, implement them, and ensure that every employee feels valued will go a long way to ensuring a workplaces where people can do the best job possible.
Hitting the Road: Women and Entrepreneurship
52 women (and one man) from 53 countries. 11 cities. 21 days.
It's not. It's a snapshot of the itinerary for a recent U.S. State Department International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), organized by Meridian International Center, to promote women and entrepreneurship. These 53 leaders were from Algeria to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between.
The participants were entrepreneurs, directors of business accelerators and non-governmental organizations supporting women in business, corporate executives, government officials, and academics. All play a role in their country's efforts to support women entrepreneurs, whose enterprises contribute substantially to economic growth and poverty reduction.
I met with the group in Washington, DC both at the beginning of their visit to the U.S. and when they returned from travel to cities as diverse as Kansas City, Missouri; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Pensacola, Florida. At the first session, they talked with each other about their role in the ecosystem of entrepreneurship and in supporting women entrepreneurs. They shared views about the fundamentals for advancing successful women's entrepreneurship and business and how to ensure that more women have access to the tools they need to succeed. They each outlined their goals and objectives to maximize the IVLP for themselves, their business or organization, and their community. They listed the types of contacts and skills they wanted to gather as well as the types of policies and innovations that interested them, such as accessing supply chains, meeting angel investors and talking with successful women entrepreneurs.
We met again when they returned from their intensive program outside of Washington, DC. They talked about what impressed or surprised them, whether the IVLP changed their perspectives, and what new individuals and organizations they would connect with upon their return home. (Side note: they also talked about how their packing and unpacking skills had improved.)
They each had a unique experience, but overall, several things stood out:
- Globally, women entrepreneurs face common challenges. The most common takeaway was that women, particularly women business owners, across the world face similar issues. Participants were struck by how their everyday challenges were similar to those faced by their fellow participants from different countries and by women in the U.S. Bottom line, since there is so much we have in common, there is much we can learn from each other.
- Support systems and women's networks matter. The IVLP participants met with organizations supporting women entrepreneurs and providing platforms for women business owners to connect. This strategic networking and relationship building is critical to business development, and to business success and growth. Many took away lessons about the types of organizations and platforms that exist in the U.S. for developing connections and business opportunities, as well as for helping women learn how to be effective networkers. While in DC, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) organized a roundtable with pioneers and leaders in building strong environments for women's businesses. In Charlotte, NC, the group met with the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), which gives U.S. women business owners a place to organize as an economic and advocacy force.
- Broader policy support for women and girls is critical to economic empowerment and opportunity. Women can't succeed as entrepreneurs if they can't stay in school, learn critical thinking and financial literacy skills, or make their own life decisions. In several countries represented, child marriage is prevalent and the women participants are committed to changing that reality, as they see its negative impact on women's economic futures. In the countries represented, most decision-makers are men and women are subject to restrictive laws that create barriers to business success, such as those that restrict women's ability to get credit or have access to child care and family leave. The participants focused on the importance of advocating for changes in these laws and policies as well as those that narrowly target barriers to entrepreneurship.
- Government support of women's entrepreneurship makes a difference. Participants were struck by the critical role that government in the U.S., at every level, plays in supporting women and business. This includes advocacy around increasing the allocation of government contracts and procurements set aside for women-owned businesses, and regulatory reforms that increase access to capital and markets for businesses.
These 53 leaders — representing almost one-third of the world's countries — are already successful. The purpose of the IVLP, and their exposure to what is happening here in U.S, is to ensure that they become force multipliers. From my viewpoint, I have little doubt that will be the case.
StartUps: Embedding a Focus on Gender From Day One
Businesses ignore women — and a focus on gender — at their peril. Everyone from startup founders to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies needs to promote women's leadership, create safe and fair workplaces, support and engage women in the community, and ensure that their products and services reflect the differential experiences, and needs, of women and men.
When women's participation in the labor force increases, GDP rises. When women start businesses, communities flourish. When companies have more gender diversity at the top, they are 21 percent more likely to experience above-average profits.
Startups founded by women are more profitable. According to the Vinetta Project, startups founded by women are 20 percent more likely to be revenue generating and there is a 35 percent higher return on investment (ROI) when financing a company founded by women.
Founding teams that include a woman outperform their all-male peers by 63 percent, according to First Round Capital,comparing performance data in their portfolio over a 10 year period. Women founders create companies targeted at new market niches. Many of the most innovative and promising women-led startups focus on how to manage and ease the time burdens women face. For example, in 2014, Kate Ryder founded Maven Clinic, an online platform connecting consumers with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals with appointments in real time and a starting price of $18.
I spoke recently on a panel, "Women=Change," held during DC Startup Week, a festival of programming for founders and entrepreneurs. The standing-room session addressed how focusing on women and gender can increase profitability and sustainability as well as how to concretely build this approach into business planning and development.
Four of my key takeaways:
- Good news: investors are looking to invest more in women-led companies. In 2017, only two percent of venture funding went to women-led startups and ventures. That needs to change. But, more funds are investing in companies led by diverse founders. The Helm plans to only invest in women-led companies, and Backstage Capital announced a $36 million fund investing exclusively in companies led by black women founders.
- Building a strong ecosystem is essential. Founders and new ventures need what is called an "ecosystem": a supportive culture, enabling policies and laws, availability of financial and human capital, venture-friendly markets for products, and a range of institutional and infrastructural supports. In order to create such an ecosystem, government, business, financial institutions, investors and mentors must work together. More good news: there are groups bringing together these key actors, such as BEACON DC, a community-led campaign to make Washington, DC the most influential and supportive city for women entrepreneurs in the United States.
- Have tough conversations early. If you have issues with people assuming your male co-founder is in charge, or one of your male colleagues takes credit for your ideas, have that uncomfortable conversation early (and often). Discuss this with your co-founder (or employee) to ensure your leadership role is acknowledged. Be clear about who will represent the firm at conferences, and meetings, and how those presentations will be structured.
- Simple actions create a more inclusive culture. Rethink your recruitment and selection process. Job descriptions can be unintentionally biased by using phrases that emphasize an aggressive business culture. Use gender neutral titles, check the use of pronouns, and emphasize your commitment to diversity of all kinds. Hire people whose skill sets complement yours. Post jobs in multiple forums. Commit to the slate of candidates you interview being gender-balanced.
If you can embed this approach into your firm's culture from day one, you are building for growth and sustainability. These actions can take time and thought, but in the end, will save you from playing catch up.
Gender vs. Women's Empowerment in Development
In many discussions, the term "gender" is often used interchangeably with "women and girls." These concepts both get at gender norms and roles, but are different. Here's a overview of these terms and how they differ. In short, we've learned that gender equality is are not just about women or girls, but about the different ways women and men experience their lives, have access to resources and can take advantage of opportunities. It broadens our perspective, so that policies and programs take into account those differential experiences of women and men, and address structural constraints to gender equality. Importantly, taking gender into account also encourages programs to include men and boys – political, business and religious leaders as well as husbands, brothers and fathers – because their gender or social roles will also change.
While "sex" refers to the biological characteristics that define us as female or male, "gender" refers to the economic, political, and cultural attributes and opportunities associated with being male or female. How gender is defined varies among cultures and changes over time.
Gender equality is the concept that all human beings, both men and women, are free to develop their personal talents and abilities and make life choices without the limitations set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles, or prejudices. It does not mean that women and men are the same, but that their rights, responsibilities, and opportunities should not depend on whether they are born male or female.
The role of women and the idea of "gender equality" in development has changed over time. For a very long time, development programs did not take sex or gender into account. Commodities or services, such as food, healthcare or education, were provided by richer countries to developing ones without attention paid to the characteristics of the beneficiaries.
A few decades ago, discussions and program implementers began to take into account that women might have different needs than men and/or might prioritize assistance in a different way. An example — for a long time rice was distributed around the world in 50 lb bags. While most men could haul the bags onto their backs and carry them home, the weight made collection of this food almost impossible for women. A simple change, made at women's request, made the bags of rice lighter so that women could transport them.
Next, development organizations began to consider how men and women benefited from their programs. For instance, asking if both boys and girls were able to attend school, and what the barriers might be if there weren't equal attendance rates. Or, if an agriculture program was teaching how to improve crop yields, were both male and female farmers benefiting from that knowledge. If all of the intended beneficiaries were not being reached or the outcomes were not being reached as planned, implementers started asking questions.
In the last ten years, technical experts have moved from a focus on women to gender. What was acknowledged was that in order to "empower" women, their social or gender roles had to change. For example, if the aim of a program is to create more women business owners in order to increase her family's income and move them out of poverty, then the program cannot focus solely on the female entrepreneurs-to-be. Training women about how to start and run a business is key, no doubt, but the program must also take into account the local laws that prevent women from having access to credit, and, very importantly, how her income will create a new balance of power within her home. We now know that when a woman, a wife, earns her own income it can change the gender roles of both the woman and her husband. If a women begins contributing to family income (when she didn't before), this can make her husband feel shame that he cannot solely support his family and lead to an increase in violence against her. And the same is true when women learn more about how their bodies function, play a greater role in politics or even stay in school a few more years.
The United States government, particularly the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), has kept abreast of this growing field of gender and development just as it has with other technical fields, gaining new knowledge and improving its programs to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars more efficiently as it ends extreme poverty. USAID collaborates with other governments, private companies and implementing partners to know more and do better for women around the world.
While the gap between the number of boys and girls in primary school has been eliminated, the number of women in elected office has increased and the number of women in the formal workforce is higher than it has ever been, now is a good time to remind ourselves about the importance of these issues, how we arrived at this moment and the need to continue this critical work.
SDG Five, Target Four
Within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or Global Goals, Goal 5 is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. For Goal 5, there are nine targets. In this blog post, we will focus on SDG5 Target 4, which focuses on the value of unpaid care and domestic work and the promotion of shared responsibility within the household and the family.
The prevalence and invisibility of unpaid care work in the U.S. and abroad makes acknowledging and tracking data critical to developing policy solutions. UN Women's "Progress of the World's Women Report" acknowledges that "Domestic work makes all other work possible"—and this is true regardless of whether that work comes from domestic workers or unpaid family caregivers. The labor of domestic workers is critical to the function and growth of national and global economies." (Source)
Unpaid care and domestic work are barriers to reaching gender equality as they reinforce discriminatory gender stereotypes that force women to stay in the home and limits participation in the public sphere, (Source) and contributes to the persistent gender gaps in labor force participation, activity rates, and wages. In terms of numbers, women comprise the majority of domestic workers, accounting for 80 percent of all workers in the sector globally; which means that approximately 55 million women participate in domestic work. (Source) There are at least two million domestic workers in the United States, and most of them are African American or immigrant women.
Around the world, women spend two to ten times more time on unpaid care work than men. (Source) According to a 2014 OECD study, women and men in the United States also spend their time differently. While men spent an average of 19 minutes per day caring for a family member, women spent 41 minutes. While men spent an average of 82 minutes per day doing "routine housework", women spent 126 minutes. (Source)
One way to recognize and value unpaid care and domestic work is by creating more public services that can take care of the family care and household duties that are now disproportionately done by women. The United States remains the only country in the developed world that does not mandate employers offer paid leave for new mothers, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Twenty-five years ago President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act, which included a provision giving eligible workers 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a new child. (Source) Because of the lack of support at the federal level, states and the private sector are now starting to address the issue. As of May 2018, twenty-one states had pending legislation for paid leave laws, in addition to the five states and District of Columbia that have paid family leave laws already. (Source)
Further, the U.S. Government also does not provide for child care, and quality child care is often very expensive. In a 2016 report, the cost of infant child care in 49 states plus the District of Columbia exceeded seven percent of the state median income for a two-parent family. (Source) Daycare is also often hard to find. A report from the Center for American Progress (CAP), found that 51 percent of the population in 22 states resides in "childcare deserts." In those neighborhoods, the number of children under age five outnumber available daycare slots more than three to one. (Source)
Another way to reach this target of Goal 5 is through the provision of infrastructure and social protection and the prevention of abuse of those who work in the care sector. Of the 67 million domestic workers worldwide, 60 million are excluded from social security coverage. In the U.S., while the infrastructure for domestic work, such as access to clean water and availability of household appliances, generally exists, laws protecting domestic workers are often not enforced, or domestic workers are excluded from certain legal protections. (Source) As a result, beginning with New York in 2010, eight U.S. states (Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Nevada, Oregon and California and New York) have passed Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights, which protect workers from racial discrimination and sexual harassment, provides for one day off a week, and overtime and paid leave. Other states have yet to catch up. (Source)
Finally, in order to reach this SDG target, governments can actively promote shared responsibility for care and domestic work. From what I can find, the U.S. government has never had a campaign to increase the burden sharing for unpaid care and domestic responsibilities. There was a three- year "Make it Work" campaign centered around the 2016 U.S. elections that asked candidates to focus on child care, pre-Kindergarten and elder care; pay transparency and the fight for a higher, national minimum wage; as well as paid family and medical leave, earned sick days, fair scheduling, and workplace fairness for pregnant women. Family Values@Work is a network of coalitions in 21 states working to pass policies that value families at work such as paid sick days and affordable family leave. These policies are not only good for individual women and families, but provide support on a policy level for a more equitable division of labor and family responsibility.
Women. Drive. Economic. Growth. Period.
When women's participation in the labor force increases, GDP rises. When women start businesses, communities flourish. When women are promoted to senior management and appointed to corporate boards, companies do better. We ignore this compelling data at our peril.
Business leaders, advocates and policy makers committed to economic growth and prosperity must use every strategy and tool to open doors and opportunity for women to participate in today's global economy.
In early May, I moderated the opening plenary of the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society in Toronto, which convened 600 influential business, institutional and political global leaders to strategize about breaking down entrenched barriers to women's participation and developing concrete
solutions. The Forum focused specifically on influencing the agenda of the G7, a powerful group comprising the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Italy and Canada, as well as the European Union. This discussion was particularly timely as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made empowering women one of the main themes of Canada's 2018 G7 presidency.
The plenary examined how governments, the private sector and multilateral forums like the G7, can take action to accelerate women's economic opportunity, and in the process, create more jobs, increase innovation, and transform societies. It highlighted the importance of enabling environments and corporate culture, the role of technology, and the importance of measuring impact. I was joined on the panel by four dynamic women leaders from the private, public and NGO sectors.
Here are my key takeaways.
First, most private sector leaders today recognize the competitive advantage of women's economic participation, whether in the corporate c-suite, in non-traditional jobs, or as entrepreneurs. But, talk isn't enough. Companies that make their commitment real have been able to attract, and importantly, retain women employees by challenging assumptions, promoting work/life balance, and creating an environment where everyone is valued. For example, Salesforce took an honest look at how women and men were being paid, and increased salaries when it found discrepancies. But these actions aren't only important to women. Today, both men and women are seeking jobs and starting businesses that value their contributions, are flexible, and give them a sense of ownership.
Second, strong enabling and legal environments are critical. To succeed, women need skills, networks, and access to capital and markets. At the same time, women also need access to quality education, child care, clean water, health care and a sense of personal security. This includes legal frameworks that ensure non-discrimination, and protections against sexual harassment, assault and violence. There is good news. According to the most recent World Bank Women, Business and the Law Report, over the last two years, governments in 65 countries took concrete steps to improve women's economic inclusion. However, women still face legal barriers in over 100 countries, and those barriers adversely affect their economic choices.
Third, technology is both a tool and a challenge. Technology is driving change and innovation across the globe, and has a tremendous impact on economic competitiveness. As we embrace technology, however, we need to be mindful that globally, there is a gender gap in online access. In urban poor areas, women are 50 percent less likely than men to be online, and 30–50 percent less likely to use the internet for economic or political empowerment. A 2015 report, Connected Women, found that women are 14 percent less likely than men to own a mobile phone. And, when women own phones, they use them differently than men do.
Finally, measurement matters and helps tell the story. We know that making the business case is important, and macro-level data, like that contained in the studies cited in this article, makes a difference at the policy level. We also need to look closely at what works on the individual and business level. Measuring success is about understanding how many women graduate from a vocational program, and also how that translates into impact and value.
Under the Canadian presidency, the G7 is deepening its focus on these critical issues. As advocates, policy makers and business leaders, we can help by continuing to gather data about how women are central to economic growth. Interventions must ensure women are treated equally and fairly, and have access to the tools they need to succeed, wherever they are on the path of economic participation and leadership.

Low & Lower present "the Sacred to the Profane" | Comedic Cello & Bass Virtuosos
September 20, 2020 | 4:00 - 6:00 pm
Cellist Brooks Whitehouse and Bassist Paul Sharpe are Low & Lower, America's #1-selling cello bass duo. This ensemble's performances are a mash-up of artistry, virtuosity, and satire, developing a completely new genre in answer to the question, "Cello and bass...seriously?" With MacGyver-like determination they create, inspire and commission works using only the limited materials at hand - a cello, a bass, two voices, a sense of humor, a touch of theater, and a willingness to do almost anything.
Since their inception in 2010, they have traveled the country entertaining audiences with cello/bass chestnuts, brave new works, daring arrangements, vocalizing and storytelling. A live video of Lawrence Dillon's Poke filmed during their domestic tour has gone viral, spreading across the world to Europe, Africa, South America and the Philippines.
In addition to Dillon's Poke, Low & Lower has inspired new works by Joshua Davis, John Allemeier, Bruce Tippette, and Ching-chu Hu. Allemeier's Undercurrents premiered on UNCSU's Arts NOW Series to enthusiastic reviews. They performed on WGBH Boston's Drive Time Live, appeared at the Arizona MusicFest and the International Society of Bassists Convention at Eastman, and gave master classes and recitals at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the University of Michigan. Low & Lower hosted a two-man Halloween Spectacular show with the Winston-Salem Symphony, performing an exorcism on the concertmaster's violin, stealing her solos in Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre, and ultimately firing her.
Having had great success with YouTube videos, including Poke, Get Me to the Hall on Time, and Modern Music Genius, and having performed everywhere from coffee houses to correctional facilities, Low & Lower is currently pitching a reality TV series called, "Extreme Venues." They have already shot significant Alaskan performance footage above 6,000 ft. and below -30° Fahrenheit.
Low & Lower is currently seeking funding for a television documentary on their string recruiting efforts in Western Australia entitled, Low & Lower Goes Down Under.

Costumes and makeup, the backgrounds and the furniture used, the visuals (colors and kind of lighting), and the sound are among the important elements of a play that dictate how the story is translated into a stage versant.us: Manali Oak. Aristotle's key elements of a play are as follows: 1. PLOT - what happens in a play; the order of events, the story as opposed to the theme; what happens rather than what it means. 2. Dec 10, · 6 Elements Of Play: The Spectrum Of A Relaxed Mind. It identifies the elements of play, including anticipation, understanding, and poise, and then helpfully offers characteristics of play as well, all excellent indicators of a relaxed and innovative mind comfortable with its surroundings, and in-tune with a local context. Play is difficult to define because it is complex. Many scholars find that describing play is easier than defining it. To help advance discourse around a definition of play, research undertaken at The Strong suggests that six basic elements—anticipation, surprise, pleasure, understanding, strength, and poise—are present each time someone plays fully. a) Viewable elements. b) Common sights and sounds to enhance time and place. c) Sound effects and or music contribute to time and place. THEME- The playwright's message. The theme is expressed through words and actions of the characters in a series of situations that make up the plot. Each situation takes place in a setting. Dec 24, · Climax. It is the most exciting part of a play, but the journey toward a climax can be choppy. A play can have a mini-climax, a setback, and then a bigger, final climax. If you decide you enjoy the experience of writing scripts, you can go on to explore the art in . The dialogue helps move the action of the play along. • Music/Rhythm: While music is often featured in drama, in this case Aristotle was referring to the rhythm of the actors' voices as they speak. • Spectacle: This refers to the visual elements of a play: sets, costumes, special effects, etc. Jul 12, · A drama, or a play, is a piece of writing that is presented almost exclusively through dialogue. Like a short story or novel, it has a setting, characters, plot, and even symbolism.
What are the elements of a dramatic play? What are the elements to a play review? In this example, you can see that Troy is the main character, and each character is described in relation to him. Unlike a novel, which may devote several paragraphs to describing the setting, the play is limited to what the audience can see on stage. Actors in the play have the responsibility of bringing the characters to life. Children rely on sensory input to learn about the environment; it also builds neural connections that support thought, learning, and creativity.
Watch 5 minute video clips, get step by step explanations, take practice quizzes and tests to master any topic. Are our children experiencing the same kind of joy, meaning, and family bonding in their play? I love the way expert tutors clearly explains the answers to my homework questions. In the stage directions in the opening of the play Fences , there is a baseball bat leaning against a tree in the yard. A struggle between two individuals, the relation between them, a struggle with self, a dilemma, or any form of conflict of one character with himself or another character in the play, goes into forming the story's plot. Create your account.
One important concept to understand is the difference between the story and the plot. If you are, use your cards to beat the elements on the stones. Character Motivation in a Drama. Play with Them! Great way to memorize science concepts.

PSC Golf from The Billabong Golf Bar
Monday, Jan. 25, Phoenix – Stableford
The cold weather has permeated to Pattaya which had early morning golfers desperately searching draws and cupboards at home for warmer clothing. Jackets, sweaters and scarves were the order of the day when we arrived at 8.30 at Phoenix. Stories of 6 degrees in Chiang Mai did not help when you're standing on the tee, the temperature was about 16 degrees but we had a cold, strong wind reducing the temperature even further. George Barrie said it made him feel at home for it was like a typical summer's day in Scotland.
Whilst we were playing the Mountain and Lake courses, the sweaters eventually came off, the sun showed its face and we had a very pleasant day.
It's a work in progress but the new and redesigned bunkers on the Lakes course will offer a suitable challenge to all, as will the new 4th, 5th and par-five 6th holes.
The winning Billabong scramble team: Lloyd Shuttleworth, Bill Marsden, Paul Greenaway and Bob Philp.
The weather may account for only one person playing to his handicap and that was John Locke with 36 points, relegating William Macey to second place 1 shot behind after failing to score on the 18th. Noddy Moyle, with 33 points, did the same to Rob Smith in fourth place with 32 points.
The par 3s at Phoenix were all over 165 yards today with the greenkeepers showing a sense of humour by having the pins in difficult positions, hence no '2's recorded.
Wednesday, Jan. 27, Green Valley – Monthly Medal
Six months ago the first tee, which necessitates a carry over the water of about 180 yards, was rebuilt and, for some reason, has not been used since – until today that is. The last Wednesday of the month is the Billabong monthly medal sponsored by Brian Chapman, CEO of Globaleye Financial Consultants and we were welcomed by this testing first drive to start our medal round.
Many fairways resembled a patchwork quilt with chemicals used to destroy the invasion of alien grass, which has subsequently died and has created a pattern of brown and green. Good to see they are making the effort but there is still much to do.
Bragging rights today went to the New Zealand team as did the rugby world cup of course. They were challenged by 2 Australians only to come second – once again.
Everyone has heard the well-known saying, 'keep up with the group in front not in front of the group behind' and this certainly applied to one particular group today who had lost more than two holes by the 18th. They really should take a lesson from the ladies.
There was a four-way count back for the minor podium places on net 73 but 2 ladies came out on top, Miss Da in fifth and Miss Noodle in fourth. Jim Bell avoided a count back, being the only person with a net 72 and he took third place while the runner-up slot went to Peter Le Noury with a net 70.
For the second time this week John Locke had a very rewarding day, outstripping all contenders with a great net 68 to win this month's trophy. He was the man of the moment back at the Billabong, receiving a loud cheer and applause when he rang the bell.
There were three 2s today, John Locke having one as did Peter Le Noury and Capt. Bob.
Friday, Jan. 29, Plutaluang – Scramble
This was our monthly scramble at a packed Plutaluang, playing East and South and we were away a bit early for a just over 4½ hour round. With 15 teams playing it was all go from the start with everything running smoothly.
The course was in great condition and if you could get the putts to drop you were always going to have a day to remember.
Coming in third today was the team of Ramsay Smith, Rick Culley, Dave Bramley and Jason Barnett with a net score of 58.2, being pipped for second place by the quartet of Neil Decker, Rick Hiate, Ed Horrocks and Don Hatchy with 57.4. The runaway winners however were the squad from the Billabong who took the top spot with 55.9. The team consisting of Lloyd Shuttleworth, Bill Marsden, Paul Greenaway and Bob Philp and they recorded 11 birdies in their round and no bogies.
This event is played on the last Friday of the month and all are welcome to participate. It is just a fun day out for all. Give Bob a call on 082 204 3411 if would like to play.

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
They blame the low-income women for ruining the country because they're staying home with their children and not going out to work. They blame the middle-income women for ruining the country because they go out to work and do not stay home to take care of their children.
Women have the power of life and death. We, after all, give birth and the fate of humanity is in our hands. That is why men try so hard to rule us, my dear. They know if we once looked well on what they have made of the human existence, we might close our legs and within our barren wombs bring the comedy to an end.

My friend and I bought a property and split the mortgage 50:50, now he wants more of the profits because he put in bigger deposit
A friend and I bought a property ten years ago when we first moved to London for work. We lived there for five years and then both moved out to live with our partners, who we have since both bought homes with and married.
We kept the flat and let it out over the past five years but have now decided that it's time to sell up.
It currently has a £300,000 interest-only mortgage on it that we are both named on and have split the payments 50:50 over the years.
Disputing ownership: Unless there is a contract in place to say otherwise, it's a 50:50 split
When we bought the flat for £300,000 in 2006, we got a £200,000 mortgage and my friend put down most of the deposit, at £80,000, while I put down £20,000.
After we moved out in 2011 we remortgaged onto a buy-to-let mortgage of £300,000 with the flat valued at £400,000 and he took his £80,000 back and I got my £20,000.
Now that we have decided to sell for £600,000, how should we split the £300,000 in profit that we will make after the mortgage is paid off?
My friend is claiming that he should get more of it, as he put down a larger deposit. However, we never agreed that would be the case and have always split all mortgage and maintenance costs 50-50, so that seems unfair, especially as he got his £80,000 back five years ago.
James Teagle, of Blacks Solicitors LLP, replies: There is a presumption that properties purchased in joint names will be owned in equal shares unless there is evidence to demonstrate that the parties had a different common intention.
You say that there was never any agreement to own the property in unequal shares, so the fact that your friend provided a greater share of the deposit in 2006 is certainly not conclusive.
It would appear that even if there had been a common intention to own the property in unequal shares in 2006, remortgaging in 2011 is likely to have created a new arrangement which superseded the previous one.
That is because, when you remortgaged, you both withdrew the money that had constituted the deposit and that then put you and your friend on an equal footing.
In any event, the two of you have split the mortgage payments, maintenance costs and other outgoings equally since the outset – which is inconsistent with your friend's suggestion that he would only ever be entitled to receive a greater share of the net sale proceeds - the profit in other words.
Indeed, it is difficult to conceive of a scenario in which you, or indeed anyone, would have agreed to pay half of the outgoings in such circumstances.
The burden of proof lies with your friend to persuade the court that it is appropriate to disregard the presumption of equal ownership.
I believe he would have difficulties on these facts and that a court would find that you are entitled to half of the net sale proceeds, which equates to approximately £150,000.
Invariably, courts treat disputes of this nature on a case-by-case basis because they turn on their own facts, so I would urge anyone in a similar situation to seek legal advice.

Exploring Feminism Through the Lens of Super Heroines
Spark recently spoke with Jennifer K. Stuller, a writer, pop-culture historian and critic about the evolution of female action and super heroines in the 20th century, and the roles of women in popular culture. Stuller is a founder and the programming director for Seattle's GeekGirlCon, an organization that dedicates itself to representing female geeks of all kinds and advocates for women in geek culture. She will present Using Their Powers for Good: How Geektivists, Geek Grrls, and Gaymers are Creating More Inclusive Communities, as part of Humanities Washington's 2015-2016 Speakers Bureau series.
Humanities Washington: Who was the first female superhero, and how did she influence future super heroines?
Jennifer K. Stuller: There is some debate as to who (was) the first female superhero – and it depends on your definition of "superhero." There's the Woman in Red, secret identity of policewoman Peggy Allen, and arguably the first masked female crime-fighter. Tarpé Mills's Miss Fury, a wealthy socialite by day and costumed crime-fighter by night, is of the same era. The Red Tornado is occasionally mentioned, as is Fantomah. But of course, Wonder Woman, beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, strong as Hercules, and swift as Mercury, remains the most recognizable, lasting and influential.
HW: What characters do you find particularly interesting or complex?
Stuller: The characters I find most interesting or complex are generally interesting or complex because of a number of factors: The heroine has her own story and journey; the narrative is compelling, resonant, or subversive; the supporting cast is equally engaging; and the creators/makers (actor, director, writer, illustrator, and so on) are dedicated to creating a well-rounded representation of female heroism. Characters and stories I believe have succeeded in this include:
- Buffy Summers and the Scooby Gang ([on the TV show] Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
- Modesty Blaise ([in the comic strip] Modesty Blaise)
- Batgirl, The Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman (as written by Gail Simone)
Bo Dennis ([on the show] Lost Girl)
HW: Why do female action and superheroines specifically stand out to you, as opposed to other female-oriented roles in the media?
Stuller: I've been interested in mythology since I was a child, and I also grew up on superhero media of the late 1970s and early '80s. Shows such as Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk and even Super Friends were formative. When the superhero film revival started a few years ago, I realized that superhero narratives are modern mythology (something I quickly discovered others were writing about and studying). But I wondered, "Where were the women?"
At the time, I was also falling in love with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, and Buffy Summers was created to be a game-changing, inspirational and iconic female superhero. Additionally, I was a returning adult student to the University of Washington and had the opportunity to craft my studies around my interests. I decided to explore the history of female superheroes in the media of comics, film and television because I felt that, as opposed to (conversations about) women in comedy, women in spy-fi (spy fiction with elements of sci-fi, like James Bond or Get Smart), and women in police or detective procedurals, conversations about the representation and power of women in superhero media were relatively lacking.
HW: Did you have any "aha moments" throughout your exploration of female heroes in modern mythology?
Stuller: Certainly! They (female heroes) are almost all raised by dads and they don't have mothers. I found that really interesting. They are raised by or trained by men. That was kind of a shocking "aha moment" (for me).
Something else that has been interesting is that, when I talked to other women about female super- and action-heroines, … there's a lot of guilt (about liking a character) if the character happens to be hyper-sexualized, or there's a lot of "either-or," "good-or-bad" ideas floating around. I always advocate (that) popular culture is awesome, and we love storytelling, and the point isn't necessarily to judge "good" or "bad," or "this is okay" or "this is not okay," or "this is feminist" or "this is not feminist," but to be able to enjoy and celebrate popular culture, but also (to be) able to critically read it and know what isn't progressive or feminist about it. Some people that I talk to will sort of have their own "aha moments," where they will realize that it's okay to like (characters with representation that are not the most feminist), that they don't have to hate it because it's not the best representation of something, that they can have a more nuanced relationship to the stories that they are consuming.

Great. It literally took me maybe 5 minutes to perfect the overhand throwing method. Like many other throwing products it's a simple 12 to 6 throw and does stick every single time.
The cards were as mentioned on site. They are super sharp and stick easily to the target with little effort. However, if you hit something other than a soft target the edges can be easily damaged because they are so sharp and thin.
I bought them for my boyfriend as a gift and they look and feel durable. Can't wait to use them!!!
Do you really think you can beat me when I hold all the cards on so it should be known that these throwing cards need to hit the target with the corners in order to stick when throwing unless you're throwing them at a soft target then they might stick on the edges but you have a much better chance of it sticking in the target as compared to a throwing knife and these cards are just the right size to fit in a credit card slot of a wallet in fact I carry 2 of these in my wallet everywhere I go this is a nice product that is fun to throw and not cheaply made either

Stay away from the Whistler Health Care Centre unless it's for urgent care—and phone ahead before you arrive, when possible.
That's the message from the medical director of the Whistler Health Care Centre (WHCC) and the lead family physician at the Whistler Medical Clinic as the two facilities seek to look after Sea to Sky patients in the most effective way possible.
"We really want to reassure Whistler residents that all of the local physicians have a system in place for everyone to access medical care during this uncertain time," said Dr. Karin Kausky, who is part of the Whistler Medical Clinic, located in the WHCC and co-chair of the Sea to Sky Divisions of Family Practice.
Emergent care will continue to be offered at the WHCC. If possible, those requiring urgent care are asked to contact the centre before arriving at 604-932-4911 for guidance. Emergent care patients will be screened at the door and directed appropriately.
Patients will still be able to access non-urgent, primary care through their family physician or a newly set-up virtual clinic.
"We're looking to decrease the number of people who show up banging on the doors asking for care. That has to be counter-balanced with the reality that Whistler Health Care Centre is open for emergencies. I don't want people staying at home with chest pains because they don't want to burden the system," explained Dr. Bruce Mohr, medical director at the WHCC.
"People can call the ambulance and people can call us at the usual number and they will be given advice over the phone. Sometimes that further screening we're able to do will allow them not to have to come in. But there will be those that will have to come in."
Mohr noted that all medical services, such as lab work and medical imaging, will continue, but will be prioritized for "the patients who really need them."
"Otherwise there is some triaging being done so that elective lab, elective medical imaging, these are things that are being postponed and will be done in the future. But urgent tests, whether it's outpatient testing or inpatient testing, those are being completed," he added. "Patient care shouldn't end up being compromised."
For those requiring non-urgent care
As a way to manage the influx of patients and reduce the strain on local resources, patients in need of non-urgent, primary care are asked to first contact their family physician by phone as they normally would.
"For most people, this means calling the office and now booking a virtual or phone appointment," Kausky said.
For those without a family physician, a virtual clinic has been set up by the Sea to Sky Divisions of Family Practice at www.divisionsbc.ca/sea-sky for patients to consult with a GP remotely.
If, after consulting a physician, a patient requires an in-person visit, that will be arranged—with the necessary precautions in place to prevent the spread of infection.
"Our reasons for doing this is for physician safety, patient safety and to try to be good stewards of scarce resources," noted Kausky.
"It's been very busy and we're all operating in new systems, but I think we really have a pretty robust system in place that's going to ensure that we can look after everybody."
For the time being, Mohr said there are enough supplies and staff at the WHCC to accommodate the growing demand for care—although the situation is constantly in flux.
"It's been fine," he said of managing the strain on resources. "There are emergency operations centres being set up at many different levels. That's how we deal with the flow of materials and staff so that we can be prepared."
On the frontlines of the pandemic, both Mohr and Kausky said staff at the WHCC and medical clinic are dealing with the additional stress through maintaining clear and open lines of communication.
"[They're dealing with it] like the professionals they are," Mohr said. "What we're finding is our anxiety levels are going down simply by really communicating effectively, indicating what our concerns are, and getting together virtually to express our concerns and then deal with them in a collective fashion."
Kausky reiterated that the public also needs to do its part in order to minimize the stress on Whistler's healthcare system.
"We're working tirelessly to make it safe for you; now we need you to work tirelessly to keep yourselves and us safe," she said. "Please continue to abide by the requests of the provincial health officer around social physical distancing and staying home."
