"At least one-quarter of all home care workers will lose their right to minimum wage and overtime under the Trump administration proposal because they live in states that have no additional wage protections for home care workers."

This is precisely correct!! An infrastructure of care is essential. "Far from being a private favour to mothers, care services are public infrastructure, like transport or electricity - essential to functioning societies."

How does Riane Eisler’s partnership model of women’s and men’s shared leadership reframe politics, economics, and social change in a world shaped by trauma, technology, and resurgent authoritarianism?

"Riane says the goal is not to go back in time, but to move forward with a new narrative for sex and intimate relating - beyond the domination model ... to reimagine the new way forward for women and men together." podscan.fm/podcasts/bey... d

"We have a caregiving crisis in this country, where millions are waiting on lists to get the care they need or they can’t afford it, meanwhile, those who work as caregivers are not being paid fairly for their critical role."

"Women perform 76.2% of total unpaid care work globally, more than three times as much as men. W20 delegates recognised that this represents a massive, unvalued economic contribution from women, who are also left with less time to do paid work."

"Meanwhile, men today face their own crisis. They’re flooded with propaganda urging them to reclaim dominance. Many boys and young men mistake that for strength, forgetting they’re simply part of a larger hierarchy of domination."

What does care have to do with the poverty rate of women and children? Everything!

"The cost burden of care that currently stifles economic stability for American families and hinders economic growth will be lifted by prioritizing public care investments and policies that support the ease of providing and caring for each other."

"This vision would allow legislative and public policy developments in the field of care and migration to take into account the particular needs of migrant women and guarantee the conditions for them to be able to care for others in dignified conditions"

"The domination model, which seeks to return to more rigid hierarchies, is actually causing many of the mental health issues we see today.:"

"We have a gendered system of values in economics: there’s always money for weapons, for wars, for the hero as killer—but somehow never enough for feeding, nurturing, and caring for children. It’s a very irrational system, what I call “reality stood on its head.”

"...women most often pay the heaviest price for our infrastructure failures. They lose income when they have to take unpaid time from work to provide care, they face more health risks when their health providers shut down, and they face unfair treatment ..."

"Viewed through the partnership–domination continuum, today’s global resurgence of authoritarianism represents a backlash against social progress toward partnership."

"In this special podcast interview, Riane shares the four cornerstone issues with us, which she also wrote about in an essay written exclusively for our forthcoming book: Our Biggest Deal: Pathways to Planetary Prosperity."

Eisler and Fry highlight empirical research on the comparative effects of these two systems on physical and mental health, social relations, and general human flourishing.

"Neuroscience shows that..., our brains retain the capacity to rewire. By becoming conscious of our “childhood programming,” we can shift away from the normalization of violence and instead nurture cultures of partnership and peace."

How the myth of “human exceptionalism” created our world in crisis, and why returning to our ancient “partnership” roots is the path to healing.

How does a partnership lens—from early caregiving to parliament—reshape brains, policies, and democracies?

How do Social Wealth Economic Indicators (SWEIs) fix GDP’s blind spots on caregiving and nature?

How can policymakers operationalize the four cornerstones—family/childhood, gender, economics, and story/language—into measurable reforms that shift societies along the partnership–domination scale without provoking counterproductive backlash? goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

@brooklynmarie.bsky.social It was AWESOME. Were you there?

Each episode features Dr. Riane Eisler in conversation as a partnership host, alongside many of the extraordinary patrons who have also helped bring the Peace Begins at Home Summit to life.

South Africa’s Ela Gandhi, peace activist and former South African MP, and Refilwe Mokoena will join the dynamic group of speakers from around the world at the l Peace Begins at Home Summit 29 October 2025.

On 29 October 2025, the inaugural Peace Begins at Home Summit will bring together 26 speakers from 17 countries for a one-day global virtual gathering that asks a radical question: what if peace truly begins at home?

On October 29, voices from across the world will gather to connect the dots between what happens in our homes and what happens in our societies.

"New Mexico in 2020 began diverting surplus government income ... to a trust for early childhood education. The balance is nearing $10 billion, with about $500 million in investment earnings being funneled each year to early childhood education programs."

"A significant part of the care economy involves people who leave paid employment, either temporarily or permanently, to meet a loved one’s needs. Unpaid care work is valued at an estimated $1 trillion, with about 65% of it carried out by women."

"Eisler argues that large-scale war is not inevitable but a symptom of domination systems that reward violence and hierarchy... In an era of nuclear weapons and climate crisis, Eisler insists that moving toward partnership is essential for survival."

When we talk about peace, we often picture political negotiations, military ceasefires, and international treaties. But research shows that the first place we learn about power, care, and conflict is in the home.

"Eisler highlights how rigid gender roles sustain domination systems and contrasts destructive “power over” models with partnership’s nurturing power... warning that domination systems drive humanity toward an evolutionary dead end."

How do patterns of domination in the home ripple into wider systems — fuelling authoritarianism, violence, and inequality — and how can we shift toward partnership to create cultures of care, democracy, and peace?

"Drawing on neuroscience and history, Eisler emphasizes that “peace begins at home,” advocating for a shift toward caring economics and integrated learning."

"Economic growth, historically measured by gross domestic product (GDP), is central to this model and prioritized by governments at the expense of the global majority and care for people and the planet."

The environmental crises we face — deforestation, displacement, drought — are symptoms of deeper systems of extraction, domination, and disconnection.

We've got 26 excellent reasons to register for the 10/29 Peace Begins At Home Summit - take a look at these speakers!!

Together, we will explore how systems of harm begin at home and ripple outward — and how we can co-create new pathways rooted in care, equity, and partnership. This is a global conversation designed to generate real insight and real change.

"The summit focuses not only on the widespread violence against children worldwide, but also on how it ripples outward—into social violence, into war, into global conflicts ... that may include crime, but more often it is war."

"I have no quick fix for these problems, except to say we must move from domination to partnership, and stop equating difference with inferiority."
