2030 was the year we were meant to achieve gender equality yet, we are further away than ever. Rising cases of violence against women combined with job losses and economic uncertainty as a result of the pandemic have pushed aside any hopes of achieving gender equality this decade. Yet, despite these setbacks, organizations, activists and individuals continue to push towards a just, sustainable and equitable future that works for everyone, not just the privileged. Will you join us? Women in Dev: The Podcast is a monthly show set to explore and reimagine the international development sector, drawing on feminist principles to challenge the current power imbalances and to show what a locally-owned, women led development sector could really look like. Aimed at those interested in a feminist, progressive development space, each episode will feature an interview with a prominent figure in the field and will unpick the status quo when it comes to development practices, everything from funding to representation to youth empowerment. You will leave with ideas and inspiration on how we can do development differently to achieve equality for people everywhere.

We talk about how data has become a ‘dirty’ word and yet how valuable it is to have quality data on women’s issues to make good decisions; we talk about how Diem creates a space for knowledge sharing and the relief that users feel to be able to do so away from the male gaze; and we finish the episode discussing Emma’s optimism for a future where everyone can understand the power they have.
