How are women working together to help end the cycle of poverty for widows? Robin Wright & Heather Leathers

Friday, September 30, 2022 • Duration 09:56

In this edition of Pillow Talk by Pour Les Femmes, Robin Wright speaks with Heather Ibrahim-Leathers, the founder of Global Fund for Widows, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering widows and female heads of households to overcome poverty through skills-based training, job creation, and micro-finance.

Robin talks with Heather about how the trajectory of Heather’s own life can be traced back to the widowhood of her grandmother who, when her husband died unexpectedly, was a young mother with four children living in Alexandria, Egypt. Left with nothing by her husband’s family, Eugine Awadalla became part of the story of the cycle of poverty that widowhood often perpetuates on women in many traditional hierarchical societies.

According to UN Women, the world is not on track to achieving gender equality by 2030 which is a goal world leaders have set as part of the Sustainable Development Goals agenda. In many countries, women who face the additional challenge of widowhood must also overcome long-standing cultural practices and lack of legal standing around inheritance, discrimination, and even violence. So not only is eradicating discrimination around widowhood critical to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals it is central to securing the rights of women more broadly.

The goal of the Global Fund for Widows is to raise awareness at the national and international level around the plight of widows so that widowhood itself is recognized as the drain on society that it is. In addition, GFW supports programs in many countries that help widows achieve financial stability, and self-sufficiency, and helps these women become leaders in their communities.

How did Steve Jobs and Apple help reduce violence in the Congo? Robin Wright & John Prendergast

Tuesday, May 24, 2022 • Duration 08:55

In this episode of Pillow Talk by Pour Les Femmes, Robin Wright talks with activist John Prendergast about the success of their efforts in 2011 to reach out to Steve Jobs at Apple about how Apple's business practices were impacting and perpetuating violence and poverty in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Through his efforts with The Enough Project and The Sentry, John Prendergast has been at the forefront of efforts to shine a light on and disrupt the economic drivers of war in mineral-rich African countries. In particular, John has been outspoken about the need for the global consumer electronics industry to develop and maintain a clean supply chain, especially where so-called “3TG” or "conflict minerals" are concerned, in order to create conditions for peace, human rights, and good governance in nations that have long struggled to provide even a basic standard of living for its citizens. Robin Wright joined John in helping with Enough Project’s Raise Hope for Congo campaign which was focused on building a constituency of activists to advocate for an end to the conflict in eastern Congo. By using the full force of its activist base in order to amplify its efforts, The Enough Project was able to raise awareness among consumers and manufacturers of electronics devices that the profit from the raw minerals used in phones was funding warlords and perpetuating sexual violence as a weapon of war against Congolese women and girls. Steve Jobs and Apple heard this message and radically transformed the way Apple did business, thereby leading the way for the electronics industry by introducing a third-party audit system and code of conduct for its mineral sourcing partners. Apple’s commitment to responsible sourcing ensures that as consumers we know that the devices that we all rely on every day are manufactured with the deepest respect for basic human rights.

In this episode of Pillow Talk, Robin Wright talks with actress, producer, writer, philanthropist, and icon Jamie Lee Curtis about being a woman in the entertainment industry and how she has been able to place herself on the path of success over her decades-long career. Among her many accomplishments, Jamie talks about one she’s most proud of, her charity, My Hand in Yours, and how she came to start it. Jamie talks about the importance of sobriety for her and how that sobriety has allowed her to stay free and out of her own head so that she can see and accept new opportunities as they come her way. Jamie reflects on the success and joy her Halloween franchise has brought to others (even as she acknowledges that she’s not a fan of horror movies!) and how her flexibility and adaptability over the years lead to her recent string of commercial and critical successes including Knives Out and Everything Everywhere All at Once which in turn have opened even more doors for her creatively. Ever an ideas person, Jamie Lee talks about how she came up with the idea to start her charity, My Hand in Yours, as a way to give back and raise money for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles which she’s long supported.
