Better Angels: The global early years crisis

Better Angels Podcast

Early childhood development, Global Studies, Right to education

This year, Theirworld launched the Act For Early Years campaign, calling on world leaders and global institutions to act to support the world’s youngest children.

In March, Theirworld brought together a panel of experts to discuss at the critical issues around providing quality care and early learning for young children – and the burden that falls unfairly on women to plug the gap.

Sarah Brown, Theirworld Chair, was joined on an Instagram Live by Professor Dame Leslie Regan, the first women’s health ambassador for England; Janet Mbugua, Kenyan media personality and gender equality advocate; Sara Pascoe, a comedian, writer and actor, and Sanjana Sanghi, an Indian actor and Save the Children India’s Youth Advocate for Education.

In this episode, the panellists share their own experiences balancing their careers with motherhood and discuss why affordable high-quality childcare is more important than ever.
