Hi. Do you remember the first time you have walked
00:04 - 00:05
into your world?
00:05 - 00:07
Please. What was your feeling?
00:09 - 00:11
I remember the first time I walked into my workplace.
00:12 - 00:17
I exactly remember the feeling I am here today to
00:17 - 00:18
talk about gender equality.
00:20 - 00:24
Did you grow up idolizing anyone during your school town?
00:25 - 00:27
Your college days during your team?
00:28 - 00:28
I didn't.
00:29 - 00:32
I agonized Diana to me.
00:32 - 00:33
She was the ultimate.
00:34 - 00:35
I wanted to be like her.
00:36 - 00:39
To me she's like some fairy who's just flown in
00:39 - 00:39
from nowhere.
00:40 - 00:44
Land took the princess heart ruled the Buckingham Palace did
00:44 - 00:49
a lot off philanthropy work was followed by paparazzi, and
00:50 - 00:51
ultimately she had a sad nd.
00:52 - 00:53
We all cried.
00:54 - 00:57
I'm sure all of you cried because there was some
00:57 - 01:01
issues that she had, which we could relate to.
01:01 - 01:03
That's why she's called the People's Princess.
01:05 - 01:07
After that, I don't remember idolizing anyone.
01:09 - 01:13
Then in 2000, we have witnessed the rise off Another
01:14 - 01:18
lady on that lady is the heroine off my storybook
01:18 - 01:20
today the game of cons.
01:21 - 01:25
She grew up in a middle class family, but she
01:25 - 01:25
had good education.
01:27 - 01:30
She was married to another good man who was aspiring
01:31 - 01:33
to be the president of United States of America.
01:34 - 01:37
This lady was also nurturing a young girl she had
01:37 - 01:38
given birth to.
01:39 - 01:42
This lady worked side by side, her husband to make
01:43 - 01:45
him the president of United States of America.
01:46 - 01:49
She is none other than Hillary Clinton, the graceful lady
01:49 - 01:55
in date, A lot of charm, very eloquent speaker and
01:57 - 01:58
always a smiling face.
01:59 - 02:01
Even the crisis hit her in the family.
02:02 - 02:03
She took it all.
02:03 - 02:06
She absorbed it and she put a big, brave front.
02:08 - 02:11
She was like the beautiful swarm underneath, though she waas
02:12 - 02:15
trembling when on top she was a struggle.
02:16 - 02:19
After eight years of being the first lady in America,
02:21 - 02:24
she is fired to be the president of United States
02:24 - 02:24
of America.
02:25 - 02:29
She groomed herself and she fought with Obama.
02:29 - 02:31
She lost and she let Obama win.
02:32 - 02:35
After Obama became the president, she was invited by Obama
02:36 - 02:37
to be the secretary of state.
02:38 - 02:42
She did her work with, and then she resigned because
02:42 - 02:45
she wanted to be the next president of United States
02:46 - 02:46
of America.
02:48 - 02:52
The whole world was looking at her and we women,
02:52 - 02:57
for we're anxiously waiting to see the victory off Hillary
02:58 - 03:01
Clinton as the first US president to stay in the
03:02 - 03:02
White House.
03:03 - 03:07
But to our dismay, to our shock, she was defeated
03:07 - 03:11
by none other by a racist by a non politician
03:12 - 03:12
by a cycle.
03:13 - 03:14
Donald Trump.
03:17 - 03:19
Then Bieber frustrated.
03:21 - 03:24
We were so frustrated because we have traveled 100 years
03:25 - 03:31
for our own right, starting from 1916, Janet renting, being
03:31 - 03:34
the first congresswoman and she said, I am the first,
03:35 - 03:37
but I shall not be the last.
03:38 - 03:42
Then in 1920 women got the right to vote.
03:44 - 03:47
Do you know which was the first country to get
03:47 - 03:51
the recognition for women to vote anybody's guess?
03:52 - 03:57
It's New Zealand in 1893 and 100 years from then,
03:58 - 04:00
New Zealand has a female president.
04:02 - 04:03
So what happened?
04:04 - 04:06
What happened after Hillary Clinton lost?
04:08 - 04:10
She did not go out in the street and started
04:11 - 04:12
talking Women empowerment.
04:12 - 04:17
Just because I'm a woman, she said, that don't lose
04:18 - 04:24
heart. She even whispered two women that women, you are
04:24 - 04:24
most valuable.
04:25 - 04:30
Perhaps that whisper was heard by Kamala Harris today, and
04:30 - 04:34
that probably gave her the strength to be the vice
04:34 - 04:36
president of United States of America.
04:37 - 04:40
She was essential for beytin, for him to win the
04:40 - 04:43
election. So we're up there.
04:44 - 04:50
They've occupied the White House and she said We are
04:50 - 04:57
valuable. No, I have one confession to make.
04:59 - 05:03
The confession is when I worked in my work place,
05:04 - 05:05
it was full of men.
05:05 - 05:10
I have never faced gender inequality, never faced any unequal
05:10 - 05:13
pay. Rather being the only female.
05:14 - 05:15
I was totally merchant by men.
05:16 - 05:19
They taught me they taught me to be a good
05:19 - 05:19
in its official artist.
05:20 - 05:24
When I wanted to do my post graduation, nobody stopped
05:25 - 05:28
me. I went on when I wanted to work in
05:28 - 05:29
critical care.
05:29 - 05:31
I could do that without any obstacles.
05:33 - 05:36
And finally, when I wanted to do palliative medicine, I
05:36 - 05:40
made my way because there was nobody to stop me.
05:40 - 05:44
I have already built my confidence that hail the way
05:45 - 05:46
in my childhood, the way I looked at the world
05:47 - 05:51
with Ida white eyed that everything is possible, I always
05:52 - 05:54
thought, and I always think everything's Waas.
05:57 - 06:00
Then, after 30 years working in the medical profession, 10
06:00 - 06:05
years in the women's platform and then two years working
06:06 - 06:10
in the farming industry, you will be surprised that after
06:10 - 06:14
30 years I came to the farming industry as an
06:14 - 06:18
entrepreneur, as the first female generation entrepreneur in a country
06:19 - 06:23
like Bangladesh, a little voice was telling me, You have
06:23 - 06:25
gone mad, you can't do it.
06:26 - 06:30
And my armchair critics, they told me, What are you
06:30 - 06:32
doing? Why are you living your profession?
06:33 - 06:34
I said, No, I'm not leaving my profession.
06:35 - 06:36
I'm just going on the other side of the table.
06:38 - 06:40
But I didn't make an impact.
06:40 - 06:43
In two years, my work must have been as much.
06:45 - 06:49
I'm not a big company, but that work perhaps impacted
06:50 - 06:54
one person or one family or one society or one
06:54 - 06:59
community. That's why I have Attack 101 most famous, fabulous
07:00 - 07:01
global health leader of the world.
07:05 - 07:10
I have eventually found out that women empowerment, gender equality
07:11 - 07:15
Is it a myth, or is it something we need
07:15 - 07:16
to ponder about?
07:17 - 07:22
Then I found that there are 100 person, male, dominant
07:22 - 07:28
area. What is that 100 person may work in the
07:28 - 07:33
sewage industry in the garbage industry, in construction in mining.
07:33 - 07:38
Imagine if this male gender what and had rallies that
07:39 - 07:39
we will not work.
07:40 - 07:42
We want 50% women working with us.
07:42 - 07:43
What would happen?
07:44 - 07:45
Imagine a day that did not work.
07:46 - 07:47
What would happen to us?
07:48 - 07:48
So what?
07:48 - 07:52
As we are doing a ZX Women were vying for
07:52 - 07:56
the 70% of position in the blue collar industry where
07:57 - 07:59
we're shouting equal pay, gender equality.
08:01 - 08:03
But it's not about men and women.
08:04 - 08:10
It's about equality, equality for both men, equality for women.
08:11 - 08:16
Yeah, And I found out to my utter surprise, two
08:17 - 08:19
words. One is on Leanness.
08:19 - 08:20
This is my definition.
08:21 - 08:22
You will not find it in the dictionary.
08:23 - 08:28
And the another one is gender index gap.
08:30 - 08:34
Now what does this oneness look at this slide, Whether
08:34 - 08:39
a world top ladies and our poor Merkel standing like
08:40 - 08:44
like a very confident woman, that is loneliness.
08:46 - 08:51
When we look at the CEOs of the world, the
08:51 - 08:57
Fortune 500 they have they usually do a study or
08:58 - 09:01
research and find out 500 companies in the world that
09:01 - 09:02
are making fortune.
09:03 - 09:07
They have found out 500 men CEOs.
09:08 - 09:14
Out of that, only 64 CEOs CEOs of women in
09:14 - 09:16
percentage. There are only seven person.
09:17 - 09:20
What is the secret we have seen in general?
09:22 - 09:24
We have seen her being in opposition as the CEO
09:25 - 09:27
of Pepsico for 12 years.
09:28 - 09:29
She did not complain of unequally.
09:31 - 09:32
What was that?
09:33 - 09:33
She got the position.
09:35 - 09:36
What drove her do that?
09:37 - 09:41
If you look at YouTube in Suzanne, she is the
09:41 - 09:44
CEO. She's not somebody who inherited anything.
09:45 - 09:48
She's an employee and she's become the CEO of YouTube.
09:49 - 09:50
They are not shouting for equal pay.
09:52 - 09:57
It is basically that we need to have the uni
09:59 - 10:02
specific point to go up there.
10:04 - 10:07
So let me talk about the gender index gap.
10:08 - 10:12
It is nothing but scoring, and it is presented by
10:12 - 10:14
U. N and world economic Florida.
10:15 - 10:15
For him.
10:16 - 10:16
What happens there?
10:18 - 10:19
The scoring is high.
10:20 - 10:22
If the scoring is high, then we are.
10:23 - 10:26
We're safe because then men and women are equal.
10:27 - 10:30
But there are some subdivisions where men and women are
10:30 - 10:31
not equal.
10:32 - 10:38
They are politically and economically, but we're equally help equal
10:39 - 10:39
in education.
10:42 - 10:44
So what do we need to do?
10:45 - 10:46
Just look at this Statistics.
10:48 - 10:52
In a study off 153 countries in the political field,
10:52 - 10:57
only 25% are women are parliamentarians out of them, 21
10:58 - 10:58
are ministers.
11:00 - 11:01
Basically, they are 47 person.
11:03 - 11:08
So there was a study to see what Waas.
11:08 - 11:10
The reason isn't it time for change?
11:12 - 11:12
We need to change.
11:14 - 11:14
We need to move forward.
11:19 - 11:19
It has been seen.
11:20 - 11:25
Yes, when it comes to pay, there is inequality in
11:25 - 11:26
pain. But what?
11:27 - 11:27
What is it?
11:27 - 11:29
The root cause of it.
11:29 - 11:30
It has been seen.
11:30 - 11:33
The less killed women occupy 49 person of the economy
11:34 - 11:37
and the skilled once represent 40 person.
11:37 - 11:43
So obviously, the World Economic Forum wants women to earn
11:43 - 11:45
and come site beside with men.
11:46 - 11:49
That is why they are saying women has not attained
11:50 - 11:52
that economic individuality or equality.
11:56 - 11:58
So what is it that we need?
11:59 - 12:00
There are three factors.
12:01 - 12:04
One is confidence, one is capability and one is child
12:05 - 12:10
care. Now you need to concentrate on your confidence as
12:10 - 12:12
I as I do all the time.
12:12 - 12:14
You need to own your confidence.
12:14 - 12:16
You need to groom yourself.
12:17 - 12:18
You need to be innovative.
12:18 - 12:21
You need to have an extra twist that brings value
12:22 - 12:22
to your table.
12:23 - 12:27
That confidence you need often often, women are looked upon.
12:27 - 12:28
All the are female.
12:28 - 12:31
They're less confident, and he's a male, is more confident
12:32 - 12:32
on male.
12:33 - 12:35
All the show, the masculinity and when there is a
12:35 - 12:39
job interview men just walk in and women are timid.
12:40 - 12:43
But no, I take a lot of interviews.
12:44 - 12:46
I don't see who is over confident around a confident
12:47 - 12:49
there has to be a balance one.
12:50 - 12:54
There has to be some unique specific point that defines
12:54 - 12:58
you. So these are the tips of building confidence of
12:58 - 13:07
work. Another thing is child care.
13:08 - 13:12
Have you imagined it is your workplace who starts discriminating
13:13 - 13:14
you when you get pregnant?
13:15 - 13:18
The workplace gives you six months of maternally.
13:19 - 13:20
And what about the father?
13:21 - 13:21
Does he get me potentially?
13:23 - 13:26
Unfortunately, there's a famous court.
13:27 - 13:30
Women become mothers, but people become parents.
13:30 - 13:33
So in this day and age, we also need paternal
13:33 - 13:35
leave. We don't see men running around in the street,
13:36 - 13:39
um, asking for this leave.
13:40 - 13:46
But again, we need to work together to make our
13:46 - 13:52
job secure at the same time, Vera, Children are So
13:52 - 13:52
what is it?
13:53 - 13:55
You have to build your own capacity.
13:56 - 14:00
You have to aim for something big, Not anything average.
14:01 - 14:05
In order to do that, you have to climb the
14:05 - 14:07
stairs, go up and reach.
14:08 - 14:09
There's no time for difference.
14:09 - 14:10
There's no time for equality.
14:11 - 14:12
It is sameness.
14:13 - 14:15
We both need to work together.
14:16 - 14:17
And why should be the equal to men.
14:18 - 14:19
Look at her.
14:19 - 14:22
She's did see of city bag Jennifer Fraser.
14:24 - 14:25
She is not equal to men.
14:26 - 14:26
She's more than equal.
14:27 - 14:29
I am ready to be more than you.
14:29 - 14:30
Cool, are you?
