's are open on twitter, the stream by re malone's the ems, our open, malone barry, and might the ems always open to you at family? ok if you want to find out how to make your media platform gender balanced. we're here for you. in another year of bad news, the perseverance of women across the world has stood out earlier this year. the un secretary general antonia botanist said, covert 19 is a crisis with a woman's face. the fact is, there are few stories that we cover on the stream that don't disproportionately impact women. we start with one of them, the pandemic. it has taken a massive toll on the female workforce in the united states as a small business owner during the pandemic, especially when with both small children. it's been incredibly challenging to figure out how to support and cater to a community that was really stripped of all of its services and all of the infrastructure that had had to support it, including school and child care, and figuring out how to navigate that on behalf of the community and serve it while pivoting and trying to keep our business alive and being asked to take on the ideas of health and safety for them. we are joined by martha ross. she's a senior fellow at brookings, metro in washington dc. martha, good to have you. this trend of women coming out of the work place in the united states. when did you start seeing it? well, it was a paris from the very beginning. i mean, looking back to march 2020. when we started to lose 20000000 jobs ahead spinning number, a lot of those jobs were helped by women disproportionately, and it has to do with the nature of the recession. we were in the nature of the jobs that women have because of social distance thing. suddenly going to the store travelling, staying in hotels, all that was shut down and those are jobs that disproportionately employ women. so they were her pretty hard. and thankfully, we have been gaining jobs back, but we are still 4000000 jobs short of where we were in february 2020. and women are still hit pretty hard. there's 2300000 fewer women in the us working now. then in february 2020, before the pandemic. and the, the number for men is 1600000. right. so it's obviously huge for everyone, but it's hitting women harder if we can watch how and pinpoint why is that why it's probably the solution for fixing it, getting women back to work? why? oh my goodness. well, it partly has to do with the nature of the job and social distance thing. it also has to do with child care and family responsibilities. and with daycare, it's shut down and schools shut down or in remote learning. it was either impossible to supervise and keep your kids safe at home with the job or really difficult to do that. if you were teleworking. i mean, if you had a job where you had to work in person, you simply could not be at home with your kid while they were at home. so you had a really tough, tough situation. so i'm, what are you seeing where you're seeing employers organizations saying ok, how do we fix this? is that any fixing going on? because, well, almost 2 years into pandemic. right now. what's been fixed? not enough right now. yeah. we, we had a massive public education campaign about the lack of paid leave in this country. how many people did not have paid leave. and so when they were faced with the choice of watching their kid or going to work or facing risk factors when they went to work that they didn't want to come bring home with them. if they didn't have paid leave and they stayed home, they were out of a job. so this is a huge policy issue, and president biden did address it in his build back better agenda. but as of now paid leave has been stripped out of the build back. better legislation. we're not where we need to be. so i am thinking how to those jobs come back for women who want to be in the workforce for 2022. and at the moment we're saying some schools is getting into the school holidays anyway, but schools may be not going back to school because of a new variant. and this still at an economic issue with not everybody getting their jobs back. what do you predict for 2022? it is it i it, it is hard to predict. ah, we, you know, there were 2 points where i think we felt a sense of impending normalcy and each time a variant has come along and derailed that land. spring after vaccinations, there was more talk about going to work in person. i'm doing more thing resuming life normally. den delta came my are you trying to say, i don't know in a very elegant i let me help you out here who, who knows? but thank you so much for bringing the stats and the challenge to us is as we look at gender gaps in some of the most important areas of our lives around the world right now. moffatt thank you so much. take care i. so another major story of 2021 in which women were front and center afghanistan. the taliban has been under pressure to uphold women's rights since they took power in august. and the con, come to us, go to phone, big employment. the policy that woman cannot group outside to be thought, ma'am. it causes the warmer in afghanistan, all inclusive, unwisely. no, it's called an inverse city dose of kudos that a student, especially girls, cannot go to a school. the woman employ austin? oh, because they lost their jobs. i had a good on countries, especially on canada. please help to woman and i've got a passionate dirani is director of learn afghanistan. get to have you back here on the stream. i love the way that you approach women's rights in afghanistan, particularly when n g o in the international community, talk about women's rights, and i've got that. this is how important of course, it is important, but you just look at it in a very different way. said that perspective, cuz i think it's an import one for audience to hear that 1st of all. thank you for having me. the 2nd thing is that when international community to critic i should feed again, could justify a war bombing houses going people 20 years ago by saying that we are helping the women and children in conflict. how come 20 years later, that has changed to the we have the same conflicts. people are more tiring, their mothers were having that's why these babies are having their mothers who can be there, women who can access hospitals. right now there's those who cannot access schools, right? now, so i think right now it's more complex than it was in 2001 because in 2001 they came in and read it on the found in the conflict started right? because they now, nobody has read it anything, just the gene cheese and right now people are going back better. but women at the forefront. we have to understand that international communities, special international organizations and people who went there to make the cut years used. women, i will always use feminism and women just to make sure that be, get frenzied in everything that they do, the more they get more funding and use of women. our pictures, our readings are having children for their own purposes. all right, so as some day she stayed in afghanistan beyond august where many people were leaving. what is the situation right now in afghanistan? what do women need and wants? so the 2 men that i have good enough on us and one thing i have learned is the fact that economic collapse is hurting up on the sun. now more than anything, but at the same time, one thing we have to look at is the fact that women rights are been used to actually tired of the country out. there are many solutions in place that could have been used by the international community, personally with the humidity and eat personally health, carving kids and having mother to actually address the digital literacy issues. now they have given all their power to the parlor bomb. we could have gone and with free internet, we could have gone in with them. can you hear me? yeah, we're have please continue. yeah, we can run in what we can. i could have gone in your internet and tv shows for the digital literacy programs. we have given this power to the taliban right now that okay, if you don't let it go, go to school, they won't get an education. well then find solutions and there are solution. i'm presenting them from the past the month and nobody even listening the thing good for the collapse. right. ok. the taliban are the ones who are not inclusive and they are kevin and whatever the last government also had war life and it doesn't justify the fact that they should be the leaders. they shouldn't be the leaders. that's the 1st thing they shouldn't have been in this place, but then they have been legitimized for the international coming to be to be back least that's the 2nd thing, right. and the i brought by the international community in it. so make a political process make it includes if all minorities, including the women, the 50 percent of the country should be there on a level. let me ask you something because of course you're stating something that's very obvious, but it seems quite difficult to do. has a bar is human rights watch? she put together on twitter, just a thread, a thread of all the meetings that have been done from outside organizations, human rights organizations of n, g o z. these are meetings meetings to tell about and met. all right, different countries and have a break to me cause the more now is another meeting with man. it's another meeting with when they are not bringing women to the table. how do you do that? see, that's the whole point. it's men and men meeting each other and they don't have any solutions. let me put it clear for you that men who are coming from that occasion for the meeting, the fallible they don't have any education on up on that. if be that up on us, i won't be in this crisis right now that it is. and the power button tell me, and the graduates that we have into, from the past 20 years, telling me a single school batch of goods graduate from their school telling me a single economic model that they have presented in the past 20 years. apart from opium, that has worked upon us on the economy. so it's just as you keep the men both face, one can pull one of know solutions. so you should these men with no solutions be bringing women with them how. what do they need to do? because so saw the not women at the table can i be honest. yeah. yeah. most of the people are not looking for solutions. if you're looking for solutions, people who people like f would be doing the talking or digital solutions. people what actual answers to the problem prior to the financial collapse and everything right now they are just making it very political and very figuring. all right, let's see, some of them are watching the stream or some of their colleagues are watching the stream. and you said you have ideas, share one of them, that's very powerful, that you feel could make a difference today. first of all, 1st and foremost, the most simply, when the political chaos can go on it, it need resettlement, and i'm not an expert on it. but a yes, when it comes to humanity and eat, we can work it out. make a 3040 women group a task force that brings in women from all parts of the beach. but when women what educated, who do understand how the it works, that you shouldn't be taking part of my eat, it should be going directly to the people on the spot. we should be given the protection by the international community to live enough on the sun. and we could be working on every once level and district level on education, humanity and 8, and at the same time on health care. the 3 things are important and needed, right. now, but women do need protection to go back and says in that capacity, the money should be accessible by a private bank and should be accessible to people about why they should be audited . they should be proper, properly audited and should be seen by the international community, how it's used. that's how you find solution. that's how you, then a country, not just by going there and taking pictures. what month like, you know, astonish. thank you so much for bringing your perspective to the stream. hopefully some of the decision makers are listening to you and taking your advice. i appreciate you on the street take care. thank you. and now to perhaps one of the biggest stories of our time, in fact, it is the biggest story about time and that is climate change. another crisis with a women's face. one of our biggest accomplishments will ring at the intersection of climate change and gender impact ensuring that we listen to the voices of women and girls on the ground, especially because they are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. and this was actually helped us develop more effective strategies for climate preparedness or that mitigation, as well as inability in the community. one of the biggest challenges that we see and climate change and gender impact. it was the recognition of women and girls as key stakeholders in clementine decision making processes often or no girls on the front lines, but their voices are not included enough. and you think that it's going to be a critical issue moving forward to ensure that the solutions that we find to climate change are effective at long lasting, especially for those that are most impacted by israel sang. is the chair of the un secretary general's youth advisory group on climate change and chair of the sudan youth organization on climate change. always good to have you on the stream. now we are talking about the gender gap and the gender gap. when we come to climate change climate activism, climate policy, misery, if we look back at this past year, where have we desperately missed women in climate policy? you can point to incite yes. say that all women there, we would have had a different outcome. yeah, unfortunately, everywhere i was just listening to the previous speaker from afghanistan and i saw the thread, they bought a put in twitter, and fortunately the same situation everywhere. unfortunately, i'm so sad am i that we are in the almost 2022 and we are still talking about how important it is to include young women or even women in the indifferent processes or even in the political evidence with they're not on the climate change we have a very much similar situation, although women are the ones who day the streets normally and marsh again is the previous regime. again, the dictator himself begins the coo and the military government. we find. 8 women are almost neglected everywhere. and recently on the 19th or her of the of december, we had a big restoration to the presidential rebels. unfortunately, now, armed forces are back to you as rape as a weapon. we confirmed to severe a rape cases after the did the demonstration finished and a lot of reports are talking about $13.00 to $15.00 cases actually on hundreds of harassment, of course. and this is something very bad because i see that we are actually going backward in the movement of human rights to dignity of humanity, not as males or females, but as a human being that we deserve to be treated equally. and i also share oh with the previous speaker that unfortunately normally men who speaks to men doesn't have some solutions for the problems that we are have. otherwise our countries would not be suffering from every to every sector of climate change, energy, education, health, everything, everywhere. we are suffering, and the simple answer is there is a huge important compose into the community, which is the p most a woman, the mother sta. the daughter is the wife of the partners, are not even there anywhere. and when anything happened, when a christ heat, we get it back to the most and eat all of the burdens of the household of the family. all the kids are, everything falls in our shoulder is in. we notice this as a program who cares about equity around the world. we care about giving people a platform to voice if they don't have a platform. and we realized that we were falling behind in terms of elevating the voices of women, making sure that we had as many men and women coming to our table coming to our studio. so we just said, this is what we gotta do. this is our construct. and we are going to count and monita and check every single year. it's something that the united nations framework convention also said we want to do. we know that there are not enough women in climate policy. i would go to make an effort. how's that effort going well. 6 unfortunately, you and of travel c is the members state oriented and the process of negotiation and every other process is members state driven. and if we can not be represented in our own countries and with our own governments, then they went after recei cannot force governments to bring females. yes, there is a lot of programs to support young negotiators and young females also to come to the negotiation. there is one with we do. there is one. i think this is, i mean, this picture. oh wow. yes. you're, you're everywhere. when you recognize your own head, in a, in a random pigeon is re, you know, there were not enough women in climates. ok. all right, so that, that was a list of, of the efforts. huh. which i've, i've, you know, what i realize is that you just say we're doing it and you do it, you know, next year away trying a way getting and you just say we're doing it. i am really curious about what the fix is. because every single case we've had on to day shall knew what the fakes would be. so in climates what's the fix? unfortunately, each not separated. i cannot say that the fixed in climate is ex because climate is a system based also a problem. if we had not changed the whole system, if we did not fix the whole system than the workers climate change would never be fixed. for example, did different countries delegation? you can find barely one or 2 females with 100 mil, for example, and is delegation or not a not break brought by you and for we'll see is the negation i brought by the government of this country's. so it's deeply rooted problem and it's leads to the inequality that there were community lives in and how the birth betray our communities. also ruling everything. unfortunately, i can ask you very, very, very simple question. now we have more than $200.00 almost country around the world . how many countries have prime ministers or presidents as females? we can count them in one hand and even 2 hands. we never count the number of men in different positions. how, how much problems that actually these men could actually sold em and, and how much the problems, the females could. so i'm a huge fan of, of the fealand, a prime minister of newsletter prime minister off different prime ministers who are actually pushing to have females a good image. because unfortunately, we get to critics are criticized hundreds dime more than the normal male get for the size. and it's really, they're not doing. but no one is asking them was really, i'm just wondering, this is is if you're coming out campaign spent for, for running, for office, for hire office for if an e, our prime minister is expected to resign and we don't have a government right now is to down so i don't think i will get future in my country and time soon and i will not carry any kind of other nationalities because i think i have a country in this country deserve to fight for. miss rena. it's always good to have you here on the stream you, you're always very direct. thank you very much for speaking to us about the the lack of women in climate policy in the climate crises and climate change who can actually make a difference. thank you so much miss reading. thank you patch donna. thank you martha as well. and that's our show for today. let me show you something you can get in touch with us if you'd like to try out gender parity at your me to organization the stream. barry malone. sammy, i'll call at the answer open. thanks for watching a the ah january. just 20 years ago the euro was brought into circulation. we investigate how the eurozone benefited from having unofficial currency be part of the stream and joy, him out. social media community. as sierra leone recovery from civil war continues . we moved to decades since the end of one of africa's most brutal complex, the bottom line, steve clemons dives headlong into the u. s. issues that shape the rest of the world . as we enter the 3rd year of covey 19, we go back to woo hm. where it all began, and investigate how far we've come. since the pandemic january on a just 0 liberation with angela al jazeera was canes re insights into the diverse culture of the money. as well as 2 different couples in bucking on land life together. g wedding monday style announced is in dreams, johns and entertainment away the people to rise above the violence around them. so it's my role to give these girls a different idea that they can leave the room of this community. 3 short films show how performance creates a home and family, and gives hope and opportunity. ah e j. select on our to 0. ah, ah. hello, i'm barbara sir in london. these are the top stories on al jazeera, the man coordinating the nuclear talks between world powers and iran says that he remains hopeful for a positive result within weeks. dates round of talks resumed earlier in vienna after a 10 day break. there are concerns that time to renegotiate. a deal could be running low with issues dividing iran and the u. s.
