This month on the Well Woman Show, we celebrate International Women’s Day as well as Women’s History Month. The theme of the United Nations Observance of International Women’s Day is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”, recognizing and celebrating the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The observance will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, and it will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online gender-based violence.

At the IWD commemoration event held at UN headquarters in New York, UN and Member States representatives, technologists, innovators, entrepreneurs, youth, and gender equality activists celebrated the women and girls who are championing the advancement of technology and innovation and their potential as a transformative mechanism for achieving gender equality. The annual event also addressed the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence.

According to UN Women, gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.

The social and economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation even bleaker. Progress in many areas, including time spent on unpaid care and domestic work, decision-making regarding sexual and reproductive health, and gender-responsive budgeting, is falling behind.

Hello Well Women; Happy December. On Show this week, I interview Becca Rea-Tucker, @thesweetfeminist. She is a baker and author with a passion for mixing sugar + strong opinions. She likes using baked goods as an artistic medium, talking about feelings, destigmatizing abortion, and all butter pie crust. Her first cookbook, Baking by Feel, is out now, discussing how to bake through your emotions and including recipes for all different emotions. She lives in Austin, TX, with her husband Rhys and pup Otis.

Hello Well Women; Happy November. On Show this week, I interview Anastacia Marx de Salcedo. She is a nonfiction writer whose work has appeared in the Atlantic, Salon, Slate, Vice, and on PBS and NPR blogs. She has worked as a public health consultant, news magazine publisher, and public policy researcher. She is the author of Combat-Ready Kitchen: How the U.S. Military Shapes the Way You Eat, also published in Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese, and lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

We discuss:

The idea that physical activity is more important than diet for health

The important message that you CAN be healthy at any size as long as you get enough exercise, despite what the marketing and media might say.

And

that every day scientists are discovering new cellular and molecular impacts of physical activity, including that it elevates mood, relieves stress, and has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. We’re all learning together.
