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.

Welcome back to the Women in Dev podcast - we hope you’ve had a good month.
This month marks two years since the inaugural WID conference where over 400 delegates from across the international development space came together to discuss and put forward a different vision of the sector; one built on justice, equity, and with feminist principles at the heart of it.
Since then, WID has grown to become a home for reimaging what a feminist and progressive international development sector could be - hosting events and webinars, running a jobs board and helping to foster partnerships across the space.
So for this month’s episode, we’re looking inwards at what it’s been like building the WID network since the conference, what we’ve gotten right, and where we still have to grow. For it, I’m joined by WID founder Rachel Firth. Rachel is the Managing Director of GOC and has over 15 years + experience working with clients on national and international projects in the Gender and Global Health space.
