So that's going to be a big part of the conversation, too, getting very practical.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
And beyond AI, Anna, what other conversations are you interested in seeing on the DivX in Patel stage? I'm
Anna GawelHOST
actually really interested in hearing from Colm Lynch, who is our resident UN expert.
Anna GawelHOST
He's actually at this moment moderating a pro briefing, what to expect at UNGA.

Somebody was...
Kavita Nandini RamdasHOST
Had, had me on a podcast at Devex the other week and said to me, "Well, what's the area you work on, and why does it have to be called women's rights or feminism? W- what would you call it?" And I said, "Well, really, if I was to answer that question, I'd say I work in the area of human rights." But you know, we had to fight to have women be even acknowledged as being human because the kinds of violence that were being done unto us didn't even show up as violence that was recognized by human rights statutes.
Kavita Nandini RamdasHOST
We had to fight for domestic violence to be recognized as violence, as a crime.
Kavita Nandini RamdasHOST
We had to fight for, uh, violence in times of war or rape in, uh, the context of war to be recognized as a crime.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST

Thank you both so much for joining us for this podcast.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
And Tanya, it's really great to have you for this first one.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
I actually wanted to wear, like, an orange shirt just to be welcoming, [laughs] but my orange shirt is in the wash.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
I wanted to wear a Devex orange shirt to be welcoming since it's, like, your first time on the podcast.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
But this is actually an exciting time because Tanya is in Stockholm and Jenny is in New Delhi.
Rumbi ChakambaHOST
I'm feeling a little bit of FOMO because I'm just at home.
Alan RobbinsHOST
Hi, everyone.
Alan RobbinsHOST
I'm Alan Robbins, co-founder and executive vice president of DevEx, and I'll be your host for this special edition of This Week in Global Development that we've put together in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
Alan RobbinsHOST
Housing is one of the most fundamental human needs.
Alan RobbinsHOST
In many places in the world, there's just not enough of it to go around.
Jacqueline InnocentGUEST
One in three people woke up today without an adequate and affordable place to call home.
Jacqueline InnocentGUEST
And so while we celebrate what we've done so far, we're looking for ways to do more, faster, in a more sustainable, long-lasting way.
Jacqueline InnocentGUEST
And so when we look back at all of our work over the past 50 years, but especially over the past 10, we figured out that what's working, obviously, like many of our other partners across DivX, is the systems work.
Jacqueline InnocentGUEST
which was truly experimental, a deviation from what we generally do when we tried to go into that space about 12 years ago.

But looking at that data, we had no choice but to pivot some of our time and energy, or more of our time and energy, I should say, to what's really working for the communities that we work with and serve.
