Reclaiming Feminism | Talat Yaqoob | TEDxGlasgow

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In 2014, women are still treated as second class all over the world. Talat Yaqoob takes us on the life journey of women and explains the social injustice hurdles they face at different points from birth to adulthood; from being covered in pink at birth to be excluded from the boardroom. Talat leaves you with a challenge - what can you do to create a better world for women?

Talat Yaqoob has been working on feminist issues throughout her life, she has worked in the anti-violence against women sector and writes a regular feminist blog and commentary for an online magazine. Her passion for social justice for women pulled her to the stage of TEDx to explain just how much work needs to be done to create a society where women are treated fairly and given equal opportunity of life.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
