👁A feminist reimagining of Kenya's public transport
🧠Naomi Mwaura
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Kenya's minibuses -- known as "matatus" -- offer a convenient, affordable and colorful way for people to get around. But they also pose safety risks and accessibility issues for many of their passengers, especially women. Bringing a feminist perspective, activist and TED Fellow Naomi Mwaura calls for a revolution in public transportation by making routes transparent, protecting passengers from harassment and paving a career path for women in the industry.

👁How to turn moments into momentum
🧠Renee Montgomery
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Inspired by the rising movement against racism in the US, WNBA champion Renee Montgomery made an unexpected decision: she opted out of her dream job. As she says in this stirring talk, she wanted to "make it felt," and that meant turning her attention from the court to the community. But you don't have to be a basketball star to make it felt; anyone can turn important moments into meaningful momentum. How will you?

👁Why do we blame individuals for economic crises?
🧠Liene Ozolina
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 2008, the global financial crisis decimated Latvia. As unemployment skyrocketed, the government slashed public funding and raised taxes, while providing relief to the wealthy and large businesses -- all without backlash or protest from struggling citizens. Sociologist Liene Ozoliņa examines how Latvian officials convinced their people to accept responsibility for the country's failing economy -- and highlights the rise of similar social policies upholding inequality worldwide.

🧠Kiah Williams
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣As prescription drug costs skyrocket in the US, thousands of people are forced to forgo lifesaving medications -- all while manufacturers and health care facilities systematically destroy perfectly good, surplus pills.
