Who Cares Wins with Lily Cole Lily Cole

Season 3 of Who Cares Wins offers a triptych of episodes that all explore how our inner landscapes shape our outer landscapes.

In episode one, Lily speaks with pioneering economist Kate Raworth and Sister True Dedication. Kate is the author and creator of Doughnut Economics: an economic model that balances between essential human needs and planetary boundaries. Sister True D is a Zen Buddhist nun ordained by Vietnamese peace activist and monastic Thich Nhat Hanh (known affectionately by students as 'Thay'). Sister True D is a former journalist, Cambridge graduate and edited several of Thich Nhat Hanh's books including 'Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet.'

In this episode, Kate, Sister True D and Lily discuss the nature of humanity, the nature of reality, and how Zen concepts such as Inter-Being might be applied to the cultural assumptions that lie underneath our economic and political realities.

This week we look at some of the barriers to girl’s equal access to education and family planning. Joining Lily is an inspirational young activist from the UK. Outraged by the idea that one in ten girls were missing out on their education due to 'Period Poverty’, at the age of 17, Amika George started the #freePeriods Campaign. An activist, a change maker and author of 'Make it Happen', it's no surprise that she was named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in the social impact category this year!

We also hear from Douce Namwezi N'ibmba in Central Africa who is helping educate women on family planning and making menstrual products accessible for women in East Africa through her work with Uwezo Africa.
