On this episode, Cyrus is joined by Anjela Taneja, Head of Advocacy at Oxfam India. Oxfam is a global movement of people, working together to end the injustice of poverty. Cyrus talks to Anjela about what being the Head of Advocacy at Oxfam entails, why there seems to be such a disparity when it comes to vaccine distribution, why lesser women have gotten vaccinated compared to men, how 25% of all vaccines are being put aside for use in private hospitals, why the vaccines aren't free for all even now, and tons more. They also discuss why Indian states want to be allowed to decide their own costs and allocations for vaccines within their state, the system being rigged in favour of the rich, how the rich are able to get away with hiding their wealth as seen in the Pandora Papers leaks, the government seemingly allowing the wealthy to get away with it, and more. They also talk about the need of governmental help and support in decreasing poverty, the things Oxfam is involved in solving, the impact of the pandemic on the education sector, and more.
