PSA: Women aren't asking for flowers and chocolate on International Women's Day. They're asking for equal opportunities and equal rights.

In this episode, I chat to Yasmina Benslimane about the problematic tendency of corporations to tokenise marginalised voices on days like International Women's Day to signal their interest in diversity and inclusion. We touched on:

• The value of international advocacy days


• Whether raising awareness is useful at all anymore when it comes to global issues like gender equality


• How we can move beyond tokenistic and short-lived campaigns
