Episode 27: Take Your Seat at the Table with Maryam Monsef

Join us for an incredibly honest conversation with the Former Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth of Canada. This episode explores the volatility of progress, the resolve of the women’s movement and the painstaking heartbreak that comes with watching women have their rights removed overnight. Maryam Monsef warns that every step that women and equity seeking groups have taken that has led to progress has been faced with backlash. But she hasn’t given up hope. Sharing stories from her time in office, Maryam encourages people to create conditions that anchor progress in meaningful, steady, strong ways and plant seeds that will grow over time. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did – and please, if you have any baby tips or well wishes for Maryam, do send them our way! ***** Helpful links: https://www.maryammonsef.com/ https://www.weforum.org/people/maryam-monsef
