Early release for tomorrow's video: Empathising for BP...

Some important work happening for women's rights right now is being done quietly, by people you've been told are the enemy.

Not because they're secretly good.

But because the system they're operating inside makes transparency dangerous and silence strategic.

It's a messy situation:

1) Oil revenue holds governments together.

2) Those governments write the rules.

3) The rules protect the revenue.

Anyone who threatens that architecture (including a company trying to do right by its female workforce) risks being shown the door.

This is not a defence of oil and gas.

The spills happened. The emissions are real. Places in New Zealand, my home, are now uninsurable.

But cancelling people is easier than understanding them.

And we've seen what happens when climate action becomes a culture war - we lose the very people we need to change their minds. Thanks Stop Oil.

Before you write someone off this week - ask yourself one question.

What don't I actually know about this person?

That question is where change starts.

With curiosity.

With empathy.
