    The Economics of Safety
    2026/09/08
    In the media, gender-based violence is often considered a sexism or cultural problem. But what if it were viewed as an economic issue? In the newest season of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we talk to thought leaders around the world about what works to reduce gender-based violence. GBV not only affects nearly 1 in 3 women in their lifetime; It is also a huge drain on the economy. UN Women estimates that GBV costs countries about $1.5 trillion per year, or approximately 2% of global GDP. But greater financial security and autonomy can help protect women from violence. We begin with a conversation between host Reena Ninan and Sonya Passi, founder and CEO of FreeFrom, a U.S. nonprofit working to end gender-based violence. Passi believes the main challenge for survivors is economic insecurity. Because of this, her organization focuses on directly empowering survivors economically. Then, reporter Elna Schütz travels to a very special clothing store from Mosaic Training Service and Healing Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported this season by the Ford Foundation. Guests Interviewed: Sonya Passi, Founder and CEO of FreeFrom Tarisai Mchuchu-MacMillan, Executive Director of Mosaic Training Service and Healing Centre Rozita, Mosaic Clothing Store Worker Dr. Deidre Pretorius, family medicine expert from the University of the Witwatersrand Nonnie, Mosaic Clothing Store Worker Learn more about your ad choices.

    Coming Soon: What Could End Gender-Based Violence?
    2026/09/01
    Gender-based violence affects nearly 1 in 3 women in their lifetime. Beyond the trauma it causes, it is also a huge drain on the economy. UN Women estimates that GBV costs countries about $1.5 trillion per year, or approximately 2% of global GDP. But greater financial security and autonomy can help protect women from violence. In season 10 of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we examine what it would take to end gender-based violence. Host Reena Ninan and reporters around the world talk to changemakers and thought leaders about the most effective strategies for reducing GBV, including economic security, prevention programs, engaging allies, and curbing online harassment.

  • The Amazon and the Supply Chain

    The Amazon and the Supply Chain
    2026/03/25
    The Amazon is the world's biggest tropical rainforest, spanning across nine countries in South America. It is a major source of biodiversity and plant life, containing around one tenth of the world’s known species and over a billion acres of dense forest. But for decades now, this vital resource has been under threat. Nearly 20 percent of the Amazon forest has been lost or degraded. This is largely due to deforestation, where people cut down trees and clear land for other, oftentimes more profitable purposes. A significant aspect of reducing deforestation is making it financially viable to keep the forest. But how? In our season finale of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we focus on efforts to make supply chains more sustainable: from the source to the end product. We start in the Amazon, where we look at ways to profit from the rainforest without destroying it. And we end up in the boardroom to hear from the president of the outdoor apparel brand Patagonia. First, we hear from Maria Jose “Chochi” Iturralde, executive director of the nonprofit Fundacion Pachaysana. She helped launch Fundacion Pachaysana, based in Ecuador, to provide financial incentives for local people in the Amazon to preserve their forest and their land, such as through regenerative agriculture. This is part of a new economic model called “the bioeconomy,” which uses renewable biological resources, processes, and innovations to produce food, materials, and energy. Then, we hear from leaders at Natura, a global beauty company that sources many of their products from the Amazon rainforest. We speak with Charmian Love, global ambassador at Natura, and Fernanda Rezende Facchini, Natura’s senior sustainability and procurement leader in Latin America, about their bioeconomy work in the Amazon. Finally, host Zainab Salbi sits down with Jenna Johnson, President of Patagonia. The California-based outdoor apparel brand was founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard, a rock climber and adventurer who cares deeply about the environment. Patagonia’s mission has always been to “save our home planet.” Their current president Jenna Johnson shares how fulfilling that mission means meticulously scrutinizing every step of their supply chain. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported this season by Daughters for Earth. Guests interviewed: Jenna Johnson, President of Patagonia Maria Jose “Chochi” Iturralde, Executive Director of Fundacion Pachaysana Charmian Love, Global Ambassador at Natura Fernanda Rezende Facchini, Senior Sustainability and Procurement Specialist at Natura in Latin America Recommended reading: Foreign Policy Analytics: Protecting Biodiversity and Driving Development Through Women’s Leadership Learn more about your ad choices.
