Episode 23: Feminist Cities, Downblousing and Early Years Funding

Episode 23 explores three feminist stories – Glasgow becoming the UK's first feminist city, early years funding being missed off the Autumn budget and the criminalisation of 'Downblousing’ & the sharing of pornographic deepfakes in England and Wales.  We are also honoured to share Martine's 'sorry, what did you say' moment. Sadly, her story remains a persistent problem in the workplace for many, even twenty years later. We hope by sharing Martine's ballsy retort, you'll gain the courage to meet misogyny head on next time it happens to you! And if nothing else, we've all gained a new mantra for life – what would Martine do? Enjoy!   **** Links from the episode: Feminist Cities https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/11/07/glasgow-set-to-become-the-uks-first-feminist-city https://vidhilegalpolicy.in/research/making-a-feminist-city-planning-safety-and-autonomy-for-women/ Early Years Funding https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/18/pay-child-uk-childcare https://pregnantthenscrewed.com/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/15/childcare-costs-women-britain-work-mothers https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Your-Situation/Bringing-up-a-child https://www.pwc.co.uk/economic-services/WIWI/women-in-work-2021-executive-summary.pdf Downblousing and Pornographic Deepfakes https://www.itv.com/news/2022-11-25/downblousing-and-sharing-of-pornographic-deepfakes-to-be-criminalised https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/voyeurism https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/24/keir-starmer-pledges-zero-tolerance-violence-women-girls
