  62. for our own right, starting from 1916, Janet renting, being

  74. Just because I'm a woman, she said, that don't lose
  75. heart. She even whispered two women that women, you are
  76. most valuable.
  77. Perhaps that whisper was heard by Kamala Harris today, and
  78. that probably gave her the strength to be the vice
  79. president of United States of America.
  80. She was essential for beytin, for him to win the
  81. election. So we're up there.
  82. They've occupied the White House and she said We are
  83. valuable. No, I have one confession to make.
  84. The confession is when I worked in my work place,
  85. it was full of men.
  86. I have never faced gender inequality, never faced any unequal
  87. pay. Rather being the only female.
  88. I was totally merchant by men.
  89. They taught me they taught me to be a good
  90. in its official artist.
  91. When I wanted to do my post graduation, nobody stopped
  92. me. I went on when I wanted to work in
  93. critical care.
  94. I could do that without any obstacles.
  95. And finally, when I wanted to do palliative medicine, I
  96. made my way because there was nobody to stop me.
  97. I have already built my confidence that hail the way
  98. in my childhood, the way I looked at the world
  99. with Ida white eyed that everything is possible, I always
  100. thought, and I always think everything's Waas.
  101. Then, after 30 years working in the medical profession, 10
  102. years in the women's platform and then two years working
  103. in the farming industry, you will be surprised that after
  104. 30 years I came to the farming industry as an
  105. entrepreneur, as the first female generation entrepreneur in a country
  106. like Bangladesh, a little voice was telling me, You have
  107. gone mad, you can't do it.
  108. And my armchair critics, they told me, What are you
  109. doing? Why are you living your profession?
  110. I said, No, I'm not leaving my profession.
  111. I'm just going on the other side of the table.
  112. But I didn't make an impact.
  113. In two years, my work must have been as much.
  114. I'm not a big company, but that work perhaps impacted
  115. one person or one family or one society or one
  116. community. That's why I have Attack 101 most famous, fabulous
  117. global health leader of the world.
  118. I have eventually found out that women empowerment, gender equality
  119. Is it a myth, or is it something we need
  120. to ponder about?
  121. Then I found that there are 100 person, male, dominant
  122. area. What is that 100 person may work in the
  123. sewage industry in the garbage industry, in construction in mining.
  124. Imagine if this male gender what and had rallies that
  125. we will not work.
  126. We want 50% women working with us.
  127. What would happen?
  128. Imagine a day that did not work.
  129. What would happen to us?
  130. So what?
  131. As we are doing a ZX Women were vying for
  132. the 70% of position in the blue collar industry where
  133. we're shouting equal pay, gender equality.
  134. But it's not about men and women.
  135. It's about equality, equality for both men, equality for women.
  136. Yeah, And I found out to my utter surprise, two
  137. words. One is on Leanness.
  138. This is my definition.
  139. You will not find it in the dictionary.
  140. And the another one is gender index gap.
  141. Now what does this oneness look at this slide, Whether
  142. a world top ladies and our poor Merkel standing like
  143. like a very confident woman, that is loneliness.
  144. When we look at the CEOs of the world, the
  145. Fortune 500 they have they usually do a study or
  146. research and find out 500 companies in the world that
  147. are making fortune.
  148. They have found out 500 men CEOs.
  149. Out of that, only 64 CEOs CEOs of women in
  150. percentage. There are only seven person.
  151. What is the secret we have seen in general?
  152. We have seen her being in opposition as the CEO
  153. of Pepsico for 12 years.
  154. She did not complain of unequally.
  155. What was that?
  156. She got the position.
  157. What drove her do that?
  158. If you look at YouTube in Suzanne, she is the
  159. CEO. She's not somebody who inherited anything.
  160. She's an employee and she's become the CEO of YouTube.
  161. They are not shouting for equal pay.
  162. It is basically that we need to have the uni
  163. specific point to go up there.
  164. So let me talk about the gender index gap.
  165. It is nothing but scoring, and it is presented by
  166. U. N and world economic Florida.
  167. For him.
  168. What happens there?
  169. The scoring is high.
  170. If the scoring is high, then we are.
  171. We're safe because then men and women are equal.
  172. But there are some subdivisions where men and women are
  173. not equal.
  174. They are politically and economically, but we're equally help equal
  175. in education.
  176. So what do we need to do?
  177. Just look at this Statistics.
  178. In a study off 153 countries in the political field,
  179. only 25% are women are parliamentarians out of them, 21
  180. are ministers.
  181. Basically, they are 47 person.
  182. So there was a study to see what Waas.
  183. The reason isn't it time for change?
  184. We need to change.
  185. We need to move forward.
  186. It has been seen.
  187. Yes, when it comes to pay, there is inequality in
  188. pain. But what?
  189. What is it?
  190. The root cause of it.
  191. It has been seen.
  192. The less killed women occupy 49 person of the economy
  193. and the skilled once represent 40 person.
  194. So obviously, the World Economic Forum wants women to earn
  195. and come site beside with men.
  196. That is why they are saying women has not attained
  197. that economic individuality or equality.
  198. So what is it that we need?
  199. There are three factors.
  200. One is confidence, one is capability and one is child
  201. care. Now you need to concentrate on your confidence as
  202. I as I do all the time.
  203. You need to own your confidence.
  204. You need to groom yourself.
  205. You need to be innovative.
  206. You need to have an extra twist that brings value
  207. to your table.
  208. That confidence you need often often, women are looked upon.
  209. All the are female.
  210. They're less confident, and he's a male, is more confident
  211. on male.
  212. All the show, the masculinity and when there is a
  213. job interview men just walk in and women are timid.
  214. But no, I take a lot of interviews.
  215. I don't see who is over confident around a confident
  216. there has to be a balance one.
  217. There has to be some unique specific point that defines
  218. you. So these are the tips of building confidence of
  219. work. Another thing is child care.
  220. Have you imagined it is your workplace who starts discriminating
  221. you when you get pregnant?
  222. The workplace gives you six months of maternally.
  223. And what about the father?
  224. Does he get me potentially?
  225. Unfortunately, there's a famous court.
  226. Women become mothers, but people become parents.
  227. So in this day and age, we also need paternal
  228. leave. We don't see men running around in the street,
  229. um, asking for this leave.
  230. But again, we need to work together to make our
  231. job secure at the same time, Vera, Children are So
  232. what is it?
  233. You have to build your own capacity.
  234. You have to aim for something big, Not anything average.
  235. In order to do that, you have to climb the
  236. stairs, go up and reach.
  237. There's no time for difference.
  238. There's no time for equality.
  239. It is sameness.
  240. We both need to work together.
  241. And why should be the equal to men.
  242. Look at her.
  243. She's did see of city bag Jennifer Fraser.
  244. She is not equal to men.
  245. She's more than equal.
  246. I am ready to be more than you.
