Episode Description:

Grandmothers on the Move – In this episode I speak with Gladys Acosta Vargas – A Lifetime Devoted to Equality. Gladys is an Expert sitting on the CEDAW Committee – the United Nations Committee that oversees the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. It’s a mouthful, but the most powerful international legal instrument promoting women’s rights – and Gladys is one of its important champions! A Grandmother Expert in the truest sense…join me for this conversation on living a lifetime devoted to equality for women and children. Grandmothers – from the living room to the courtroom – making powerful contributions in every walk of life. We know them most intimately as loving caregivers, the older women in our lives with a thousand stories about their grandchildren and pictures in their purses. In this podcast, you’ll come to know even more about our Grandmothers – they are galvanized, and determined and are guaranteed to get you thinking! What drives them? What are they up to? What is the potential of Grandmother power, and how is it changing the world?! Grandmothers are on the move…you don’t want to be left behind!
