00:00 From my perspective, this global feminism is a way forward because there is intersectionalism.
00:08 If we fight among each other, if we are too singular in what we do,
00:14 then we don't have our solidarity and we need it.
00:18 And global feminism is an umbrella term that is inclusive of all the different kinds of feminism.
00:24 We need that place, that safe space, where we can all come together, all shapes, sizes, colors, creeds,
00:31 everyone to say, look, we are working for the globe.
00:35 We're working for the betterment of young girls that are coming up into a planet that
00:40 is not guaranteed what the future is going to look like.
00:44 And we must support each other.
00:47 That's the best solution, I honestly think.
00:50 We can't just do it on our own.
00:51 We can't just shout into an echo chamber, although often we do.
00:55 If you're an activist, it's sometimes quite a challenge because you're trying to have
01:01 eyes on your situation.
01:03 So here we have lots of photographers and we have an opportunity to speak.
01:06 And that is like gold for us, for activists.
01:11 So I think these events are very important, especially that we can bring the activists in
01:17 and people can see, oh, they're real people.
01:18 They're not just an abstraction.
01:20 You know, I think it's a great thing tonight.
01:22 And I, and besides that, I would do anything for Livia.
01:25 Livia Furthman's Behind the Green Carpet Challenge.
01:28 I think she's amazing.
