Welcome to women17 - conversations with global women changing the world, one Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) at a time. In our fortnightly podcasts, we'll introduce you to amazing women from around the world who are contributing to the 17 SDGs, both in their local communities and globally. We'll explore their journey, the challenges they’ve faced, their many successes, and highlight which SDGs their work contributes to.
Thanks for listening- three years, 40 podcasts- it's our final podcast episode
Hi listeners and thank you for tuning into the women17 podcast. It’s just me today for my 40th and final podcast episode.
I started the podcast in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to elevate global women’s voices who are contributing to the sustainable development goals. These amazing women are from all over the world including 17 different nationalities spanning 16 different countries. We have covered topics such as sustainable sanitary pads in India, a sustainable island community in the Philippines, green mobility solutions for rural women in Africa, repurposing discarded fishing nets in Canada, food waste tracking in Norway, welcoming refugees in my hometown, Pittsburgh PA, to recycling bras for underprivileged women. I feel so honored and privileged to have learned from these women. They have inspired me to do better and I hope they have inspired you also!
I wish you a happy, safe, and productive day and thank you once again for listening!
