			<title><![CDATA[Rural women’s empowerment critical to Sustainable Development Goals]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Marking the International Day of Rural Women, United NationsSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that rural women are critical to the success of almost all of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they all “have gender equality and women’s empowerment at their core.”]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Rurual Women make up 25 per cent of the world’s population and in developing countries they make up 43 per cent of the agricultural labour force that produces much of the world’s food.It is no wonder, then, that the Secretary-General calls rural women the backbone of rural communities, where, “and in many households they have the key responsibility for food security, education opportunities and healthcare.”And yet that backbone is under threat, as increasingly, the effects of climate change and environmental degradation are forcing rural women to migrate in search of land where they can produce food and improve their families’ lives. This leads to instability, isolation, and marginalization. Frequently, male family members leave to seek work elsewhere.Executive Director of UN Women Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said in a statement on the Daythat “rural women farmers can be agents of change in transforming food production and consumption so that land and resources are used efficiently and sustainably. They need policies and investments that facilitate their active participation and decision-making and their access to land and climate-resilient agricultural methods.” Changes are on the way for women farmers UN Women and the World Food Programme (WFP) have launched a the new programme in Rwanda to help women farmers forecast crop demands and create more secure and profitable supply chains through the use of digital technology.Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka urged countries with barriers to women’s land ownership or legislation that limits their ability to take out loans to repeal harmful laws and instead implement policies that put women in a position to scale up their production sustainably. “Food and agricultural initiatives often disregard differences in the roles, labour burdens, assets and access to resources of rural men and women. But if women in rural areas had the same access to land, technology, financial services, education and markets as men, they could increase agricultural production and reduce the number of hungry people – and among those, the women and girls who often eat least,” she added.Mr. Ban, in his message, urged governments to make simple policy changes, such as regulating remittances and reducing transaction costs in order to provide rural women with economic access and power. “Training and access to information on climate-resilient agriculture and technology can make a critical difference,” he recommended.In order to successfully implement these changes, governments and other actors must also work to dismantle stereotypes that view economics as an exclusively male domain, added the UN chief.To put the impact of this exclusion and the effects of climate-change induced migration into perspective, consider that 76 per cent of the world’s poorest people live in rural areas that are vulnerable to growing stress on water and land use.The Secretary-General underscored that in order for us to deliver on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, “we must help rural women to thrive, and to access the support and information they need so they can fulfil their potential without leaving their communities.”]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[About 70 per cent of female prisoners are primary caregivers, some are mothers to young babies. What is life like for mums behind bars? Reporter EMILY SPINK meets two.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Within the four walls of her home, Katie* is as free to play as any other baby would be.Baby photos are pinned to the walls and framed by pink and purple paper. Her toys, clothes, shoe collection and bedding continue the pretty colour scheme.She giggles and pulls faces at all the familiar and strange faces that appear at the door.But out every window looms the razor-wire fence.Hayley* is one of three women currently in the mothers with babies unit at Christchurch Women’s Prison.The self-care unit that she and Katie share with one other mum, is located within the secure perimeter of the prison.Since the unit was upgraded in September 2011, to enable babies to stay with their mothers until they turn two, 28 women and their babies have been through.Hayley has served more than a year of her sentence for being party to a burglary. Katie was just six weeks old when Hayley went to prison.Hayley, is in her mid-twenties and has been in prison before. She knew about the self-care units, but had not seen them.She pictured her baby growing up from behind barred windows.“It was the last place I wanted me and my child to be, that’s for sure. I didn’t actually think you could have your kids in here.”She and Katie have moved twice during her time in the unit, and lived with seven different flatmates.“You just adapt like anything. Obviously I got to see what it was like when I came in and it was pretty cool to see the house and that there were no bars on the window.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Physically demanding jobs may not be restricted to men anymore, but the women entering such careers are still finding it challenging to break into one aspect: work clothes.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[As more women are choosing careers once dominated by men, many are realizing that they do not have much choice for rugged, quality clothing suitable for manual labor.To meet those needs, new entrepreneurs such as Taylor Johnston have set out to fill that niche. Ms. Johnston, greenhouse and garden manager at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, said she needed proper clothes that would let her be authoritative but comfortable at work. Men’s wear did not fit properly, and she felt it made her look unprofessional.“It was really about finding something that felt like I could be taken seriously in,” Ms. Johnston said.  To address the need, she founded Gamine Company in 2014, based in Cohasset, Mass. Its goal: making workwear for women, including pants, overalls and coveralls.Ms. Johnston is one of several entrepreneurs who have started companies to make work clothes designed for women’s bodies. These businesswomen were driven to start companies because of a personal need, a lack of options in the market and a desire to support women’s changing work roles.Women still have a long way to go before becoming a critical mass in traditionally male-dominated fields, but there is a growing market in some sectors as women break into nontraditional jobs.Start-ups see an opportunity as more women enter fields such as farming, ranching, welding and other labor-intensive careers.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[As technology has made it possible to have facetime with co-workers even from miles away, companies around the globe are finding ways to accommodate mobile employees. Some 80% to 90% of the US workforce say they’d like to work from home at least part time, according to the latest research from the firm Global Workplace Analytics.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[But as appealing as it sounds for white collar employees to be able to video conference from their bedrooms and breakfast nooks, it has also introduced a form of modern angst called the “appearance barrier.”That’s when employees are so distracted by their appearance on screen that they have a hard time paying attention to the official business at hand.Now the Japanese cosmetic giant Shiseido has created an augmented reality app meant to reduce this pain point for women adjusting to telework culture, by helping them look polished and made-up on a teleconference screen. “Telebeauty,” co-created with Microsoft Japan and Skype For Business, applies virtual make-up to its user’s video image.Women use the app by selecting one of four palettes: natural, trend, cool, or pretty, before entering the teleconference call. The app then scans the user’s face and adjusts her skin tone, superimposing a kind of digital beauty balm that blurs pores, dark spots, and pimples. It also adds blush, lipstick, and eye makeup.Telebeauty can distinguish between a user’s face and the background, so the makeup reportedly “stays on” even as the user talks and moves around. That’s good, because no one wants to leave lipstick marks hovering in midair.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[Women help mums needing a break New Zealand]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[A wave of support for mums in need is sweeping the country after the creation of an online support group.

From Auckland to Invercargill, offers of hot meals, home baking and healthy snacks have flooded in from Kiwis keen to help mums having a tough time.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The outpouring was prompted by a Facebook group Meals for Mum, created by friends at opposite ends of the North Island. The group matches mums needing a meal with those happy to help out.The creators of the group, Sophie Cosford and Mieke Garrett, started it after their own experiences helping friends living around the country.When Cosford, who lives in Porirua, flew to Christchurch to deliver meals to a friend caring for a premature baby she knew there had to be an easier way.“Buying meals online was so hard with different dietary requirements and a courier was too expensive. It was cheaper for me to fly down.“I started thinking – if you can’t physically be there for your friend what if another woman could step in and help out?”Last week the women started the Facebook group and it “exploded”, gaining more than 2600 members in less than a week.Mothers from around New Zealand were quick to offer support to each other, Cosford said.“People are saying this is what’s been needed, what they were missing.“Everyone can relate to not having the help they needed … this is the village people would have had back in the day.”An online message seeking help for one mother got 24 offers of help in an hour, she said.“Originally the mum wanted to remain anonymous but eventually she was able to step forward because she felt she didn’t need to be embarrassed.”It’s not just mainland New Zealand women offering or seeking support, with inquiries coming from the Chatham Islands and Australia.“One Kiwi mum based in Perth was struggling and reached out, another mum over there was able to help.”Mieke Garrett, a clinical psychologist based in Auckland, knew what it was like to want to help a friend.“When Sophie needed help in Wellington I desperately wanted to be there and I couldn’t. I wish I could have got someone to help her and I’d repay the favour in Auckland.”The group was there to help everyone and anyone, she said.“I don’t want people to think they have to have a really awful story because everyone’s struggles are valid.“It’s important to speak up, someone knows someone who can help, New Zealand is small enough for that.”Garrett and Cosford are seeking sponsors for food containers and grocery items, contact them through their Facebook page – Meals for Mum.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[Maternity units have been forced to shut their doors to women]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Two in five midwives surveyed said there were too few of them to cope with demands on the service.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[More than a third of maternity units have been forced to shut their doors to women in labour because they could not cope with demand, leading midwives have warned. Figures from the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) show that 38.6% of maternity units had to temporarily shut during the last year.A poll conducted among senior midwives revealed that units closed their doors on 281 separate occasions. The RCM said the average unit temporarily closed eight times, but one unit was at full capacity 50 times. Eight units had to close their doors on 10 or more occasions.The college, which is holding its annual conference in Harrogate, said the number of closures was a reflection of the rising demands on services as well as increasingly complex births and issues with staffing levels.The poll, which was completed by 53% of the heads of midwifery from around the UK, found that nine in 10 believed their unit was dealing with more complex cases than last year. Almost two in five said that they did not have enough midwives to cope with the demands on the service, and 19% of the 85 senior midwives who responded said their budget had decreased in the previous 12 months.One in 10 said that they had been forced to reduce services in the last year, including reductions in parent classes and breastfeeding and bereavement support. Four in five also reported that they had to redeploy staff to cover essential services, meaning that staff who were supposed to be delivering antenatal care and community care were redeployed to cover labour delivery suites.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Private companies and government entities are losing by not offering many women opportunity to serve at various leadership positions, a new survey documents]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Research commissioned by McKinsey found out that companies with greater share of women on their boards of directors and executives for instance tend to perform better financially.It says the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin of those institutions with at least a quarter share of women on their boards perform on average 20 percent higher than the industry average.In the private sector at executive committee level, African women hold 23 percent of positions, compared with a global average of 20 percent. At Chief Executive Officer Level, they hold 5 percent of positions, compared with 4 percent globally, making Africa the top-performing region alongside the United States.At board level, African women hold 14 percent of seats compared with a global average of 13 percent.“Although the number of women in leadership positions may have risen, women do not necessarily have greater power. In the private sector, more than half of senior women occupy staff roles rather than the line roles from which promotion to CEO typically comes,” it says.“In the public sector, approximately half of women cabinet ministers hold social welfare portfolios, with arguably limited political influence, that do not open doors to top leadership roles. Indeed, the increase in women’s share of cabinet roles appears to come more from the creation of new social welfare portfolios than from any real redistribution of power.”The report provides results from surveys done in 55 companies based in Africa, interviews with 35 African women leaders and an analysis of the financial performance of 210 traded African companies.It captured Kenya,South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia, and EgyptWomen leaders with whom the researchers spoke to stress how the benefits of diversity extend to areas such as risk management, decision-making, and board dynamics – all of which can have an impact on financial performance.Companies with a greater number of women in leadership positions tend to manage risk better – they are less likely to overpay when they make acquisitions, for example.  And women leaders help companies relate to their customers better, as a company with greater gender diversity is better positioned to understand the needs of its female customers. With respect to consumer goods, for example, women directly influence 70 to 80 percent of global spending.“Women can also bring different ways of working to management teams that enhance decision-making. These include openness to new perspectives, collaboration and inclusiveness and strength in ethics and fairness,” it says.The report however consistently shows that based on its findings, countries around Africa are placing more importance on women leadership than the rest of the world.In the private sector, the continent has the second highest representation of women in senior management positions than everyone else. The European Union is tops, with women holding 26 per cent of executive committee positions. Asia, Latin America and the US lag behind with percentages dropping into the mid to high teens.Ultimately, regions in Africa are ranked with Southern Africa beating its neighbours with the highest representation of women in senior management positions:1. Southern Africa: women make up 20 per cent of senior management positions.2. East Africa: 16 per cent3. West Africa: 11 per cent,4. North Africa: 9 per cent.The results show more women have a shot at reaching this level in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, while only 9 per cent of African women will reach senior positions in heavy industry. Despite the representation of women in various industries, none of the seven industries mentioned have a 50 per cent representation of women, meaning they are still male-dominated.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[Japanese women redefine stereotype of ‘hikikomori’]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[While “hikikomori,” or social withdrawal, is usually seen as an issue mostly affecting men, the current way of thinking about it fails to take account of the many women who are effectively—and involuntarily—cut off from society, campaigners and experts say.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Kyoko Hayashi, who is leading efforts to help such women, said she wants the government’s definition of hikikomori, which stresses avoidance of contact with others, to be more inclusive and reflective of the reality facing women.“There are actually many women struggling, but because of their identified roles as housewives, or those doing household chores, one cannot see that they are actually socially withdrawn and need help,” she said.Hayashi, 50, also includes in her definition of hikikomori single women who, while they can leave their homes, struggle to maintain a stable job or simply to hold their lives together.Government statistics about hikikomori count only those who have stayed most of the day and nearly every day confined to their homes for at least six months, avoiding interaction with others, but this does not capture a number of women who for various reasons might have effectively dropped out of society, she says.One of her projects, Hikikomori Joshikai, aims to reach out to a perceived growing number of female recluses in recent years in a country that has long been battling the issue of social withdrawal, with around half a million people classified as hikikmori by the government.“I want to meet people,” one woman said recently at a nearly three-hour, female-only gathering in Tokyo of nearly 90 women, who were once or still identify themselves as social recluses.There is no fixed course of treatment for the condition, as the triggers for socially withdrawing vary for people. It could be a setback in school or work, relationship woes, or any kind of pressure from culture or society.Hayashi, who dropped out of college and shut herself away from society for two years when she was 26, began earlier this year organizing meetings where such women can gather and also runs Oshare (Dress-up) Cafe, which provides makeup and fashion tips as a confidence booster.She said she has been surprised at the strong turnout of attendees at the meetings, initially held only in Tokyo but branching out to other parts of the country this month.Since the first meeting in June, more women have been participating, even from as far away as Hokkaido, Gunma and Shizuoka prefectures.“In a female-only setting, they are more open and trusting,” Hayashi said, noting that women sometimes find existing, and mostly male, support groups for hikikmori less helpful. Similar female-only gatherings have been springing up recently, a sign of the need to provide such avenues.Attendees at a gathering in late August ranged in age from their 20s to 40s. Some were shy but some sociable, and some were fashionably dressed.They were nothing like the country’s entrenched image of hikikomori: lonely, quiet teenage boys or middle-aged men who shut themselves away reading books, playing video games, or staying glued to the computer.While the government’s definition of hikikomori stresses the avoidance of contact, most socially withdrawn women Hayashi has encountered would like to interact with others.“Just because they are hikikomori does not automatically mean they do not want to meet people. Most of them actually do wish to. They just do not have the opportunity,” she said.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[Hundreds of thousands of women set to protest against violence in Argentina]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Organizers urge women to stop work and other activities for an hour in Wednesday ‘women’s strike’ following rape and torture of a 16-year-old girl]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hundreds of thousands of women in Argentina are expected to join a national protest over violence against women on Wednesday, after a 16-year-old girl was raped and tortured.Organizers of the “women’s strike” have called for every woman in the country to stop work, study and other activities for an hour at 1pm.“In your office, school, hospital, law court, newsroom, shop, factory, or wherever you are working, stop for an hour to demand ‘no more machista violence’,” wrote the march organizers.The protest – marked with the Twitter hashtag #MiércolesNegro, or Black Wednesday – was prompted by the abduction of Lucía Pérez, a schoolgirl who was drugged, raped and tortured earlier this month in the coastal city of Mar del Plata.The cruelty of her attack was such that Pérez suffered a cardiac arrest, according to prosecutor María Isabel Sánchez, who described it as “an act of inhuman sexual aggression”.Following their assault, the assailants washed the 16-year-old in an attempt to erase forensic evidence and took her to a nearby hospital, where she died shortly after arrival.“I know it’s not very professional to say this, but I’m a mother and a woman, and though I’ve seen thousands of cases in my career, I’ve never seen anything like this,” prosecutor Sánchez told local media.But Pérez’s murder is just the latest in a harrowing sequence of “femicides”, crimes usually committed by husbands, boyfriends, family members or acquaintances of the victim. In more than one case, the woman has been set on fire by her partner.Government statistics show that crimes against women have risen 78% since 2008 in Argentina, a rise which may be partly attributable to growing awareness of the phenomenon, but has prompted a national debate over sexist attitudes.Every 30 hours a woman is killed in such crimes, according to statistics kept by La Casa del Encuentro, an NGO which helps female victims of violence.The killing of Lucía came only a few days after a march by tens of thousands of women protesting crimes against women in the central city of Rosario ended in violence when police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowd gathered outside the city’s cathedral.Tomorrow’s strike starts at 1pm, with the ceasing of all work and private activities, followed by a march congregating on the main Plaza de Mayo square in Buenos Aires.Three suspects have been arrested in the Pérez case, but her family has since reported receiving death threats.Source : The Guardian.com]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[A protest, led by the Women Wage Peace organization, included Liberian Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee, who spoke warmly of the initiative and working toward peace in the region.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[More than 200 women and several men took part in a rally on the Israeli side of the Israel-Lebanon border on Tuesday. The rally was organized by Women Wage Peace, a social movement working “to bring about a viable peace agreement,” as their Facebook page states. The group has already organized peace rallies and marches throughout the country. Tuesday’s rally was located outside the now closed Good Fence, through which Lebanese Maronites would regularly pass into Israel for work and medical care until Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon in 2000. Israel absorbed some 15,000 Maronites, who were predicted to have been massacred by Hezbollah on charges of collaboration with Israel were they to have stayed in Lebanon.The Good Fence protest rally was attendedby , among others, Liberian Leymah Gbowee, whose work of non-violent persistence on women’s rights won her the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.Gbowee said she is moved to be standing in a place called “good,” instead of having it described in a negative fashion. She mentioned that Liberia has a large Lebanese community of its own, and that she will happily return to her country and tell people about the Israeli women’s initiative. She was greeted with enthusiastic applause at the rally. “It is my actual first time hearing about the Good Fence,” she said at the rally. “You always hear about the negative things coming out of countries that have gone through war, so I am happy to be at a place called ‘good,’ especially in a world where people want to talk more negative than talk positive.”She continued by saying, “Just being here and going back to my country, I will highlight the fact that it is not just a desire of the people of Lebanon, but also a desire of women and people of Israel that peace should be established in the region.”She added that Liberians, too, had fought for peace, and that while it was not easy, no children should die on either side of the border due to war. The IDF, Israel Police and UN provided security for the event, while Lebanese Police forces could be seen on the Lebanese side of the border. The rally’s organizers said that a month ago, while going on a preparatory tour of the area, that they saw women from the Lebanese side waving at them.After the rally, the women marched toward the northern town of Metula, raising signs that featured then prime minister Mencahem Begin, Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and US president Jimmy Carter sign the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979, with the words “Yes. It’s possible” written above.Source : .Ynetnews]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Norway’s health ministry has ruled foreign women pregnant with twins can have selective reduction abortions in the country’s hospitals even if the foetus is healthy.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The ruling means women from neighbouring Sweden and Denmark where “selective reduction” abortions – meaning aborting one or more foetuses and leaving at least one behind – are illegal can come to Norway for the procedure.As hospitals are not required to ask for a fixed address there are fears the move could lead to a rise in “abortion tourism” – though foreign women will have to pay for the procedure, Dagsavisen reported.Several women from other Scandinavian countries are already said to have contacted Norwegian hospitals about the procedure, national broadcaster NRK reported.It comes after lawyers at the Norwegian Department of Justice ruled in February thatselective reduction procedures should be treated no differently to other types of abortion under Norwegian law.Now the Department of Health has ruled this applies to foreign women as well.Currently women are allowed to terminate a pregnancy until the end of the 12th week in Norway.Dr Torunn Janbu, an official at the ministry, told The Local: “We don’t as the Directorate have anything to say about the ethics. “We just inform the local health services about how to apply the law.”Source : The Independent.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[Women are more likely to use misogynistic language on Twitter]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[When it comes to misogyny on Twitter, we’re all in this together. A new study has found that misognyistic tweets were written by women 52 percent of the time and men 48 percent.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The study — conducted by social intelligence company Brandwatch on behalf of anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label — used both automated and manual data analysis tools to analyse almost 19 million public tweets to explore the current climate of misogyny and masculinity on social media.As part of the study, researchers analysed the language around 4 million tweets and found that women were more likely than men to use pejorative, misogynistic language.The analysis excluded instances where misogynist terms were clearly used ironically or in a neutral context, e.g. “bitch please”. Instead, the research focused on instances of hate speech, where language “intentionally attacked and offended” and “language where womanhood is being undermined”, Ed Crook — lead researcher on the study — told Mashable.According to the research, which looked at tweets written in the English language published between August 2012 and July 2016, women were most likely to use derogatory language pertaining to promiscuity, appearance and animals (e.g. bitch, cow, mare).Male Twitter users, on the other hand, used language relating to anatomy, intelligence and sexuality. Furthermore, insults to do with female anatomy were also “significantly more likely to come from the UK”.The study, while revealing, should be taken with a grain of salt: It’s not entirely clear which words were considered misogynistic or how the data was gathered, so the results may not properly reflect the full context of a tweet, its tone, or whether it was part of a larger conversation.Crook — research manager at Brandwatch — told Mashable that the findings show that women’s use of misogynistic language focused largely on sexual promiscuity and ‘slut shaming’, whereas male language was centred on female objectification.This common theme of derision relating to promiscuity and female bodies did not have a male or masculine equivalent, the research concluded.“We don’t want the research to be seen as vilifying women. That goes against objectives of study. We are not pointing at women and saying they are misogynists,” Crook said.Crook believes the findings suggest that misogynistic language is “increasingly being considered normal”.“We wouldn’t want to endorse censorship, but it would help for people to be cognisant of the language they’re using, particularly language that’s loaded,” Crook continued.Crook also believes that campaigns designed to encourage gender equality should address both men and women, not just men.“It may also reflect a normalising of misogynistic language and that authors (including female authors) no longer consciously consider the terms offensive,” reads the study.This isn’t the first study to suggest that women are playing a role in publishing misogynistic tweets. Indeed, a recent analysis by think tank Demos found that half of all misogynistic tweets came from women.The research by Demos counted the number of international uses of certain words as indicators of misogyny over the course of three weeks. The study found that 200,000 tweets using the words “slut” and “whore” were sent to 80,000 people during the three-week period.Source: Mashable]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Report says more work needs to be done to fight income inequality for all]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Canadian women are being shortchanged on job opportunities and pay and it’s making income inequality worse, Oxfam Canada said in a new report Monday.The anti-poverty agency said Monday that despite enjoying higher levels of education than ever before and an increased access to the workforce, women continue to face barriers to good employment and fair wages, and as a result are more likely to be poor — both in Canada and abroad.“Women workers may be good for business, but the bottom line is that they are getting shortchanged,” said Dana Stefov, a co-author of the report and the senior women’s rights policy adviser with Oxfam Canada. “Women currently subsidize the economy with labour that is cheap, undervalued and often even free.”Women’s wage gap getting wider in Canada, new report says“Addressing the unequal economics of women’s work is essential to closing the gap in earnings and opportunities between women and men, and between rich and poor,” the report said.The report cites some alarming statistics to back up its claim. Of the 500 occupations currently tracked by Statistics Canada in its monthly labour force survey, women earn less than men in 469 of them, Oxfam says, even among people with similar educational levels performing similar work.Women in Canada are three times more likely than men are to work part time, and that’s not generally by choice but rather “because family care responsibilities fall to them,” Oxfam says. According to Statistics Canada, the typical Canadian women does 3.9 hours worth of unpaid care work per day. That compares with 2.4 hours for men.Higher education pays off more for men than women, report suggestsOxfam estimates that if they were paid fairly for that sort of unpaid work, Canadian women would earn an extra $192 billion every year.]]></content:encoded>

			<title><![CDATA[This is the biggest mistake women make when negotiating]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Susie Scher, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, was supervising an employee—let’s call her Jane Doe—who could be on her way partner. Doe was successful and accomplished—but she was known for taking feedback poorly.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Scher, who runs Goldman’s investment grade capital markets and risk management group, heard from a partner that Doe had said Scher had yelled at her. The entire interaction in question, however, had happened over email. So Scher called Doe’s previous boss and asked, “Why does she think I’m yelling at her?” He told Scher that because Doe would get so upset when receiving negative feedback her previous managers had decided they would just leave her alone.“She wasn’t being pushed, so she wasn’t growing,” Scher said during a panel at Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit on Monday. “As women, I think we have to be thoughtful about how we’re giving women feedback—but we also need to help other senior leaders manage women within the organization.”Sign up: Click here to subscribe to the Broadsheet, Fortune’s daily newsletter on the world’s most powerful women.One of the most critical tasks for managers is helping women improve their negotiation skills. Vicki Medvec, executive director of the Center for Executive Women at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, says that there’s a misperception that women don’t ask for things as well as men. But in reality, she said, they actually ask far better when doing it on behalf of their organizations, companies, and kids.“It’s only when we’re asking for ourselves that we struggle,” she said. “We have a hard time negotiating for ourselves.” Medvec noted that women reach agreement too quickly because they “like to get to yes” and “don’t set ambitious enough goals.”“I think a lot of times we push women to ask but don’t stress asking well,” Medvec says. She added that if you don’t put the right issues on the table, you can feel wronged and then the other party gets defensive.Her top tip—think through what she calls the “issue matrix.” That involves asking four key questions. One: Which are the key elements that are most important to you? Two: What’s most important to your negotiating partner? Three: What will be most contentious? And four: What’s easier for you and the other side to give up?Despite the sense that millennials ask for things in their careers early and often, she’s concerned that this generation of women will still have a tendency not to ask. “It’s not going away,” she says. She notes that she sees the same characteristics in eighth grade girls that she sees in adult women—the sense that things inflexible and cannot be changed, and therefore the tendency not to push for more.Pontish Yeramyan, founder and CEO of consulting firm Gap International, said that whenever she hears “no” in a negotiation, “I just don’t believe that’s forever.”Goldman’s Scher says that what’s helped her is being part of negotiations that are lower stakes; for example she’s been on the board of three different non-profits. “They involve similar types of negotiations,” she says. “That’s really helped.”Medvec says that managers should encourage employees to negotiate in their everyday lives so they’re better at it on the job: “You don’t want people to sharpen their chops on your million or billion dollar deals.”Source : Fortune]]></content:encoded>

		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[That’s because women typically end up in the non-career roles, which involve administrative jobs with hardly any upward mobility that ambitious people find very frustrating.“Highly educated women quit because it’s not worthwhile keeping that ‘stupid’ job,” said Machiko Osawa, a labor economist at Japan Women’s University.The Japanese government wants more women to pursue careers to help kick-start its sputtering economy, but obstacles like the separate career tracks — part of the country’s male-dominated corporate culture — are hindering progress.About 3 million women in Japan aren’t working even though they would like to, according to official data.Some companies are doing better than others at improving the situation.Women account for 9.1% of all senior managers at automaker Nissan (NSANF). That’s above the 8.3% average for Japanese firms with more than 100 employees, according to Catalyst, a non-profit group that promotes women in the workplace.Chie Kobayashi, 48, who leads Nissan’s diversity development office, says the company was attractive to her straight out of university because it bucks the trend by not using separate career tracks. In 2005, she became the first Japanese working mother to be posted overseas for Nissan.The company continues to draw women with its policies, including generous parental leave, flexible working hours, career mentoring and on-site childcare facilities at its global headquarters in Yokohama.Nissan’s childcare center at its global headquarters in Yokohama, Japan.Other major Japanese companies, including Calbee and Shiseido (SSDOF), have also been singled out for their progressive policies on women employees. But experts point out that such firms typically have foreigners in senior management, often crediting Nissan’s Brazilian-born CEO, Carlos Ghosn, with helping to improve the automaker’s approach.Still, even Nissan is a long way from the Japanese government’s target of having women represent 15% of senior managers at private companies by 2020. The business case is clear: having more women in executive positions or corporate boards can increase a company’s profitability, according to a February report by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, which studied nearly 22,000 public companies in 91 countries.But women on the management track at Japanese firms say they often hit the glass ceiling.Around a dozen women interviewed by CNNMoney recounted difficult experiences trying to convince male hiring managers that they could do the job.Marimi Takahashi, 23, who joined the management track at a Japanese electronics company after graduating from university in April, says there is “such a huge difference between how male colleagues and I are treated.” She isn’t given the same kind of training and sometimes doesn’t even receive assignments, she says, leaving her bored and frustrated.It’s also difficult to manage household duties while trying to keep up with the “salaryman” culture of corporate Japan, which is characterized by long working hours and socializing over drinks with the boss — a sign of job commitment.“It’s so exhausting to keep up with this career track with children,” said Natsuko Fujimaki, who previously worked at a large Japanese corporation and now runs after-school educational programs to help other working moms. “I have seen many women lose their ambition for working … because we have to do everything by ourselves.”The government is trying to pressure companies to shape up: a new regulation went into effect earlier this year requiring firms to disclose how many female employees they have and their plans to support and promote them.Japanese firms need to find ways to support women in long-term career paths, said Kathy Matsui of Goldman Sachs, who has studied the impact of women’s issues on the economy. “Hopefully, over time, it’s not just the government saying ‘do this, do that,’ but that there is also this initiative from the private sector,” she said.Nissan’s Chie Kobayashi, who leads the company’s diversity development office.Nissan’s Kobayashi hopes that the situation will eventually improve enough to make her current job unnecessary.“This is the ideal, final goal — that we close the diversity office,” she said.Source : CNN Money

			<description><![CDATA[Women who regularly consume soft drinks may be reducing their chances of getting pregnant, according to new research.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A study of 524 patients found a link between artificial sweeteners, such as those used in “diet” sodas, and lower fertility rates, while use of sugar in soft drinks and added to coffee was associated with poorer quality of eggs and embryos.One of Britain’s leading fertility experts last night described the findings as “highly significant”, and warned women not to underestimate the effects of food additives on their likelihood of conception.Other scientists, however, have said the lower pregnancy rates may have been driven by obesity, which is already a known negative factor, rather than the sugar or its synthetic equivalent per se.Artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin and sucralose, are chemical substances that many people choose over sugar because they are low-calorie or calorie-free.In the study, which will be presented today at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine congress in Salt Lake City, a batch of women who were undergoing IVF treatment were interviewed by nutritionists about the foods they consumed, as well soft and hot drinks.The finding, showed that reduced rates of pregnancy was most closely associated with consumption of soft drinks made with artificial sweeteners, as well as coffee with added artificial sweeteners.Meanwhile the use of sugar in soft drinks and coffee was associated with a poorer quality of egg, which can be a factor in likelihood of getting pregnant.Unsweetened coffee, however, had no effect on egg quality or pregnancy chances, said the researchers from the Federal University of Sao Paulo.Professor Adam Balen, Chairman of the British Fertility Society, said: “This is a very interesting study that suggests the false promise of artificial sweeteners that are found in soft drinks and added to drinks, such as coffee, may have a significant effect on the quality and fertility of woman’s eggs and this may further impact on the chances of conception.“These findings are highly significant to our population.“There should be more scrutiny of food additives and better information available to the public and, in particular, those wishing to conceive.”However, a spokesman for the British Dietetic Association said the study made no effort to distinguish the effect on fertility outcomes of the bodyweight of the women in the trail from the impact of artificial sweeteners and sugar in their diets.Professor Sir Colin Berry, Emeritus Professor of Pathology at Queen Mary University London, also cautioned about drawing inferences on wider reproductive outcomes from the experience of IVF patients.Source : The Telegraph]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[THE UN HAS announced that Wonder Woman will become an honorary ambassador for women’s empowerment.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The comic and television series heroine will be officially designated as the UN honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls during a ceremony attended by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 21 October.DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson will attend along with “surprise guests” – possibly actress Lynda Carter who portrayed Wonder Woman in the hit TV series in the 1970s.The ceremony will launch a year-long campaign on gender equality and women’s empowerment, which is one of the UN’s new global goals for the next 15 years.However, the choice has been criticised because Wonder Woman is not…real.Writing for Skepchick, Rebecca Watson called the decision a “PR stunt”.“There are actual, living, breathing women who can “promote messages about women’s empowerment and gender-based violence.”She is a product.The UK Women’s Equality Party told the BBC the decision was suitable only because the UN has come under fire for its gender disparity.“It is fittingly comic that the UN could not think of a single human woman who could take on this role”.Wonder Woman will not be the first fictional character used as a UN ambassador.Winnie the Pooh was the honorary Ambassador of Friendship in 1998 and Tinker Bell served as honorary Ambassador of Green in 2009.Source :The Journal.ie]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[American Honey director Andrea Arnold has expressed her “shock” at how few women are making films, and that positive discrimination in hiring may be necessary.]]></description>
		    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Speaking to the BBC, Arnold was commenting on figures released in 2015 by the Directors Guild of America, which suggested that only 6.4% of Hollywood films in 2014 and 2014 were directed by women. She said: “The figures were so small. We actively have to employ more females, perhaps we need to at this point. There are a lot of capable women out there.”Give half of UK film funding to projects led by women, directors sayArnold has directed four features since 2006, and received a string of awards, including an Oscar for best short film and three jury prizes at Cannes.She added: “We’ve grown up mainly on male stories, and most of the films have been written and directed by men – and that’s only half of the human race.”“I remember going to a women’s film festival and feeling a slight amount of trepidation, but actually it was fantastic. Some of the films made me cry because they really spoke to me.”Arnold’s latest film American Honey, starring Sasha Lane and Shia LaBeouf, won the Jury prize at this year’s Cannes film festival. Out in the US, it is released in the UK on 14 October, and 3 November in Australia.AP]]></content:encoded>
