The podcast aims to foster open dialogue, challenge societal norms, confront deep-rooted biases, and address concerns often overlooked or stigmatized in our society. Drawing on sociocultural and historical lenses, Red has symbolized risk, vulnerability, taboo, sanctity, and rebellion among many other things.

 

 

Inspired by the TED Talk format, with REDTalk, we aim to Resist injustice, Empower the silent, and Dare to challenge the status quo.

 

REDTalk is organizing a competition to further build on this understanding and highlight how these vulnerabilities, sacredness, and stigma can be gendered and more pronounced for women. From gender-based violence to reproductive rights, from mental health struggles to unpaid care work, from body positivity to the glass ceiling, REDTalk promises to delve into the heart of issues that affect us all.

 

 

We invite student speakers from all schools at MAHE Dubai to participate in our very first REDTalk themed ‘Refuse to be Reduced’. Join us in this journey of exploration and reflection by challenging the status quo.

 

 

The winner’s talk will be produced as one of the episodes of the REDTalk podcast series. The student speakers will deliver an 8-10 minute talk on the theme ‘Refuse to be Reduced’, exploring topics related to women, which may include but are not limited to:

 

  • Climate Change and Increased Vulnerability of Women
  • Women and AI: The Concerns Ahead
  • Understanding Body positivity, Self-esteem and Inclusion
  • War, Pain and Memory: Women as Silent Sufferers
  • Feminism: Critical Reflections
  • Women and Healthcare disparities
  • Women in Higher Education: Uncovering Invisible Barriers
  • Women in Leadership: Opportunities and challenges
  • Workplace and Gender disparity
  • Intersectionality: Class, Gender and Race
  • Male voices in Feminism
  • Women’s representation in Media: Stereotypes, Inclusion/Empowerment

REDTalk is more than just a platform for discussion, we envision it as a catalyst for action. Join us at REDTalk, where together, we can break taboos, shatter stigmas, and build a brighter future!
