Lyon, FRANCE

New York, Jan. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Veterinary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Manufacturing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Service Type, By Synthesis Type, By Therapeutic Category, By Animal Type, By Region And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06377986/?utm_source=GNW

Veterinary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Manufacturing Market Growth & Trends

The global veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturing market size is expected to reach USD 10.64 billion by 2030. The market is expected to expand at a lucrative CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030. The key factors driving the industry growth include the growing animal population, rising pet ownership & humanization, high pet expenditure, an increasing number of veterinarians & veterinary visits, and a high prevalence of zoonotic diseases. In addition, the rising demand for pet insurance, strategic initiatives undertaken by key participants, and government initiatives are likely to boost industry growth.Various government policies are affecting the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufacturing.

For instance, in India, despite a strong base, domestic veterinary pharmaceutical companies have gradually stopped manufacturing veterinary APIs due to low-profit margins.They started importing APIs from other countries, a majority of which are imported from China, which was a cheaper alternative and increased their profit margin on drugs.

The Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council-an organization under the Department of Science & Technology, India-recommended a few guidelines to address the need for regulating APIs to make India self-reliant and revive its economy post-pandemic. This is important to reduce India’s dependency on China for pharmaceutical goods, including APIs, especially after the tensions between soldiers at the India–China border.

Various guidelines are being issued by government organizations to encourage veterinary services globally, which is anticipated to aid veterinary API manufacturing market growth in the coming years.An increase in the number of government initiatives that help promote animal health is also expected to fuel the overall market growth during the forecast period.

The launch of One Health Initiative for enhancing animal healthcare standards has improved growth prospects for the industry.This joint project unified clinical care, disease surveillance, and education & research areas for better control of diseases.

The growing need for efficient animal treatment and increasing awareness about pathogenesis & epidemiology have encouraged organizations, such as Companion Animal Adoption Resources and the Federation of European Companion Animal Veterinary Association, to take appropriate measures.

Government and private organizations are constantly updating their guidelines to promote animal health and prevent obesity & other disorders. This is expected to fuel industry growth over the forecast period.The increasing number of oral formulations for various veterinary drugs is boosting the demand for veterinary APIs. These majorly include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Manufacturers are investing in electrochemical synthesis, which helps in accelerating the manufacturing process for APIs. In addition, the introduction of biologically synthesized APIs is a technological innovation that fuels industry growth. Going forward, veterinary biopharmaceuticals produced by rDNA technology will be gaining more significance, as they would be a better choice for managing diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, & diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.

Furthermore, the introduction of High-Potency APIs (HPAPIs), which act on the target cells in a much lower dose as compared to the general APIs, is also expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the vet API Manufacturing market. The HPAPIs are creating significant changes in pharmaceutical innovation to deliver new therapeutic medicines.Some of the macroeconomic factors, such as COVID-19, have widely impacted veterinary consumer demand, as human medicines, including antivirals, were in high requirement during the pandemic. According to SeQuent Scientific Ltd., 2021, rising geopolitical tensions amid the Ukraine-Russia conflicts are also expected to create uncertainty in the supply chain, financial stress, & climate-related changes, as well as increase inflation in the near term.

Veterinary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Manufacturing Market Report Highlights
• Some API manufacturing companies have been gaining traction since the COVID-19 pandemic
• For instance, the share of companies, such as Lasa Supergenerics-a company involved in veterinary and human APIs-increased to 108% by February 2020 compared to February 2019 owing to the exponential rise in the demand for human APIs by drug manufacturers
• The contract outsourcing segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2022 owing to its associated benefits. Earlier, veterinary pharma drug manufacturers would opt for an in-house model and prepare their APIs
• The chemical-based API segment is expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period owing to its high usage among veterinary pharmaceutical companies
• The anti-infectives segment dominated the industry in 2022. Growing challenges among livestock owners to uphold veterinary health standards to meet the demand for healthy dairy products, fresh meat, and dietary nutrition are driving the need for anti-infective drug production
• North America is expected to dominate the industry over the forecast perioddue to the high prevalence of zoonotic diseases across the region

Kim Cotton: The First Female Umpire To Officiate A Men’s T20 International Match

Kim Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts and has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup.

Kim Cotton, in a historic moment, became the first-ever female umpire to stand in a men’s international match between two ICC Full Member countries. Kim Cotton was umpiring the second men’s T20 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Dunedin.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to Twitter to share the news of this historic moment in cricket. In the match, Kim, a New Zealander, took the field with another New Zealand official, Wayne Knights. The representation of women in sports has witnessed a gradual increase in the past few years.

Since 2018, the 45-year-old cricket umpire has officiated in 16 women’s one-day internationals and 44 T20 matches. She has umpired a number of Women’s World Cup matches. In February, Cotton umpired the Women’s T20 World Cup between Australia and South Africa.

Cotton has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup (50-over). Additionally, she was appointed as the first woman to umpire in an international men’s match in 2006 in a One Day International between Ireland and Scotland. Adding to her list of achievements, Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts.

Cotton, who believes that she hasn’t faced any scrutiny for her gender, added in an interview, that, “The players test you just like any other umpire – they’re just interested in making the right judgments, and that’s what we want as well”.

Prior to Cotton, Australia’s Claire Polosak had become the first female umpire to stand in a men’s international one-day match in the 2019 World Cricket League Division finale between Oman and Namibia. During the 2021-22 Border Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia in Sydney, Polosak also served as the fourth umpire. With this feat, Polosak became the first female match official in a men’s Test match.

Not just the female umpires abroad are making a mark, but recently in the Ranji Trophy Vrinda Rathi, N. Janani, and V. Gayathri became the first females to officiate in the history of this tournament

All three women umpires come from different backgrounds. Delhi-based Gayathri, 44, a former cricketer suffered a shoulder injury that had put a stop to her cricketing career. But, in 2019, after passing the BCCI exam, she started her second innings in cricket with umpiring.

Janani, 37 years old, who previously worked as a software engineer, had approached Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to become an umpire. She started her umpiring career in 2018 after the state cricket body changed the rules to allow women to officiate. Rathi, 33, who hails from Mumbai was a scorer in local matches before she cleared the BCCI scorers exam. She went on to become BCCI’s official scorer in the 2013 Women’s World Cup. She then moved to umpiring.

Recently, in a historic first, Rathi also became the first female from India to serve as an on-field umpire in the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa.

This year’s Under-19 Women’s T20 World featured an all-female panel to officiate the matches. In an article on Crictracker, ICC manager of women’s cricket, Snehal Pradhan stated that “When young women and girls see it, they believe that they can be it. That’s just one of the reasons why having this match officials panel is so special.” Pradhan added, “It shows the next generation that there is a career and a pathway that takes them to the very top of the game, the World Cup, even if you’re not a player. It shows that there are so many ways to get involved“.

It’s the achievement of these female umpires that is inspiring more and more women to pursue a career in sports. There are many ways to be involved in sports and umpiring is one of them. A lot of the women umpires come from different professional backgrounds. Their accomplishments pave the way for the growing representation of women in sports.

Agenbag, who was the first South African woman to stand in a Women’s T20 international in 2019, stated in a report that “The ICC Development Panel allowed me to go to women’s World Cups, work in high-pressure situations, including doing televised games, which is a big skill one needs to develop.” She further added, “Though men in this space have never treated me differently because I’m a woman, coming into [the set-up], I was a little bit sceptical because it’s male-dominated with not a lot of female presence around.  So, it helps to have trailblazers like Claire, Kim [Cotton], Sue Redfern, Kathy Cross as good mentors, and have more women’s cricket televised matches, because if that’s where most women umpires are at, you’ve got to give young girls the exposure to see that.”

Though in cricket, female umpires are still under-represented, women’s participation in the sport is increasing with the passing days. The discussions around females in sports have paved the way for women to be involved in different spheres of the sports industry. From field to management, women are taking up various roles in sports.

Cricket as a sport was seen as a male-dominated sport, a few years back. However, currently, the growing popularity of female cricket and the introduction of leagues for women have contributed to bringing positive change for women in sports.

Shubhda Bhosle, one of India’s youngest female umpires and also one of the four umpires on an all-women panel of match officials in the 2022 Legends League Cricket tournament in Oman, said in an interview with Al Jazeera, “The rise of women’s franchise leagues has also been a key driver. The short-format [nature] of the competitions allows scope for back-to-back power-packed tournaments [for an umpire to sign up]”.

Sport is recognised as an important cultural institution that contributes to the establishment and reinforcement of gender inequalities. The progress in providing more opportunities for women in sports will have a significant effect on enhanced women’s participation.

Content: Chennai made who I am today, says Shruti Haasan

No matter where I go or what I do, I feel very much like a Chennai girl at heart. I’m extremely proud of my roots. I grew up in a multicultural home. My childhood was spent between Chennai and Mumbai because my mom hails from Mumbai, says actress Shruti Haasan.
Shruti Haasan is an artiste who has been juggling between multiple film industries since the beginning of her career. The actress, who will be headlining the international film, Chennai Story, opens up to us about what she misses about Tamil cinema when working in other industries. She calls herself a ‘Chennai girl at heart’ and gets candid about her love for the city and what she looks for when signing a film...
‘I AM PROUD OF MY ROOTS’
No matter where I go or what I do, I feel very much like a Chennai girl at heart.
I’m extremely proud of my roots. I grew up in a multicultural home. My childhood was spent between Chennai and Mumbai because my mom hails from Mumbai. But Chennai made me who I am today, and I will never forget that. I love that I’m from Chennai, and I love talking about it. When I’m in Mumbai, people tell me, ‘Oh my God, you have a Chennai accent.’ I’m like, ‘Damn right, I do.’
‘I like seeing Chennai on screen’
I like seeing Chennai on screen because it’s a beautiful city. You look at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s Bombay.’ You look at the Court House, and you’re like, ‘That’s Calcutta.’ Just like that, you can see Chennai and immediately know that it’s a Tamil ﬁlm. I love that quality about Chennai as a city. It’s got its own look and vibe. So, I’m happy that I’m part of a movie like Chennai Story that showcases the city and has the city’s name in its title.

ON CHENNAI STORY
The film’s at a nascent stage now. It is set in a feel-good space. My character, Anu, in Chennai Story is super contemporary. I could relate a lot to her, which is something I don’t often feel about my characters. Anu felt seamless, current and relatable, especially since I’m a Chennai girl myself.
ON HER SELECTION OF FILMS
I always give first preference to my character and script. But sometimes, you’re also a part of films that you want to be a part of. Some of them are a little more effective than others, and that’s the truth. I can’t lie about it. Sometimes, you want to be a part of a really big film, and the film may not be driven by a woman, and that’s okay. But the character has to have some element to her that either drives the story forward, or she should have a story that draws the audience to her. Those are the basics I look for.
ON HER HOLLYWOOD PROJECT AND BEING PART OF AN ALL-WOMEN CREW
The Eye is a film filled with pain, questioning and longing. It has an entirely female crew, so that was a first-time experience for me, and was such a different experience. Initially, I thought, ‘How different could it be?’ In this film, we were discussing about the kind of woman we wanted to create. So, we got past explaining the female perspective, which I usually had to. Like, sometimes on the set of a male director, I used to say, ‘I feel as a woman…’. During the shoot for this, we were more focused on articulating and pushing the female perspective.
ON FINDING A BALANCE BETWEEN DOING FILMS AS A SOLO LEAD AND BEING PART OF AN ENSEMBLE
It’s a mind shift. We do it in life all the time. You can’t be what you are at home in the office, and vice-versa. It’s the same application here in the sense that, it’s a different experience when I’m on a set where I am the prime focus or the lead storyteller. When other people are in charge, it’s different. But what stays in common is that I like working hard. There is no better feeling than going home exhausted, both mentally and physically, knowing you worked hard. The worst experiences I’ve had is when I don’t feel tired enough at the end of the day.
‘I have a special connection to so many cities’
I miss speaking Tamil because it’s my comfort language. But I grew up in a multilingual home, and I owe a lot of my life and my success to the Telugu industry. I have a special connection to so many cities, and I'm lucky like that because I can be in Chennai and feel a certain way, and similarly in Bombay. I've now been living in Mumbai for 12 years. I feel like a very lucky Indian citizen who gets to explore the beauty of all the cities.

Kanwar Dinesh Singh is a prolific, award-winning author, poet, storyteller, critic and translator. He speaks about his remarkable experiences as a poet

Kanwar Dinesh Singh is a prolific, award-winning author, poet, storyteller, critic and translator. He has published several volumes of mini poems, haiku, senryu and microfiction, alongside books in literary criticism and translation. He is the winner of the prestigious 2002 Himachal Pradesh State Sahitya Akademi Award and the 2023 Unicorn Best Author Award for poetry among several other literary honours. He has written extensively on love, relationships, morality, nature, and several philosophical issues of life and existence. His work has appeared in several literary journals and anthologies. In this interview, Singh speaks about his remarkable experiences as a poet.

Excerpts from the interview:

When and how did you start writing poetry? What was your experience of writing the first poem?

Books have always fascinated me, ever since my childhood. On seeing a beautiful cover or a striking title, I would pick up the book immediately and buy it as soon as possible. In my school days, along with poetry, I loved books on fables, folktales, history, and mythology. I was influenced by the poets, so I started writing about my experiences. I was passionate about appearing in print and doing quality writing. I started writing for newspapers and magazines, and when periodicals like The Indian Express, The Tribune, Femina, and Sun started publishing my poems and short articles, I felt a lot of inspiration and encouragement for other literary creations.

After writing my first poem, the experience was indescribable, but the act of creation gave me the feeling of a free, boundless existence for myself.

How has your experience of reciting poetry on stage or at symposia?

Often, a poem expresses a personal experience and depends on the preferences and tastes of the listeners. That’s why a poem, recited on-stage, can captivate the heart of the whole gathering, in which, despite being a personal experience, the emotions of the other’s heart are also articulated. So, when I choose a poem for the stage, I always start by giving it much thought. Moreover, the art of rhetoric, including proper modulation of voice, frequent repetition, and pausing at the right moment, are also very important while reciting poetry on stage.

In what genres/forms have you written? Which form/mode is most satisfying for you?

I have penned numerous genres, including poetry, haiku, ghazal, microfiction, literary criticism, and translation. Honestly, poetry is a source of self-satisfaction and inner peace for me.

What kind of poetry do you like? Do you follow the same standards for your poems as well?

I like simple and lyrical poetry, but it should have a great depth of thought and intensity of emotion behind it. There may not be a great deal of lyricism in my poems, but along with the simplicity and spontaneity of expression, the seriousness of sentiments and thoughts, besides the philosophical sense, definitely prevails.

I do not like poems that are prepared on an ideological basis because such poems are written in the form or frame of a premeditated formula. I like poems which leap like a wellspring from the heart; they are born like leaves, growing naturally/smoothly on the branches of a tree. And the underlying energy of such spontaneous creations is immediately realised; however, the sheer intellectuality of intended/premeditated creations does not have the same aesthetic flavour.

There are many dimensions to your creativity. Apart from being a poet, storyteller, literary critic, editor, and translator, you are also an academic. How do you juggle so many roles?

Besides being a literary creator, I am also a professor, an advantageous position. As a teacher, I am constantly involved in studies and always strive to keep learning something new. Teaching is also a very creative activity; from there, I am continually taking on something new.

However, I do literary writing only in my spare time, often in the quiet morning or night hours. With that being said, whenever a thought comes to mind, or an emotion stirs in the heart, or a reaction starts stirring from within, I immediately record those thoughts, reactions, and feelings in a little diary. Later, when free, I develop them as a literary work.

You have done doctoral research on modern and contemporary Indian English poetry. What were your findings in this study?

In my research study, published in the form of a book titled Contemporary Indian English Poetry: Comparing Male and Female Voices, I analyzed Indian English poetry based on gender, and I found that, despite the similarity of theme and language, there is a huge difference in the expressions of male and female poets. For example, the expression of male poets is cerebral primarily or intellectual, while the writing of female poets is typically emotional.

What have you been working on lately, and what are you looking forward to?

Presently, I am working on the manuscript of my novel based on a love story, which I want to publish this year. Along with this, a collection of my haiku verses is also almost ready for publication. I also plan to publish a collection of short stories.

Kim Cotton: The First Female Umpire To Officiate A Men’s T20 International Match

Kim Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts and has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup.

Kim Cotton, in a historic moment, became the first-ever female umpire to stand in a men’s international match between two ICC Full Member countries. Kim Cotton was umpiring the second men’s T20 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Dunedin.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to Twitter to share the news of this historic moment in cricket. In the match, Kim, a New Zealander, took the field with another New Zealand official, Wayne Knights. The representation of women in sports has witnessed a gradual increase in the past few years.

Since 2018, the 45-year-old cricket umpire has officiated in 16 women’s one-day internationals and 44 T20 matches. She has umpired a number of Women’s World Cup matches. In February, Cotton umpired the Women’s T20 World Cup between Australia and South Africa.

Cotton has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup (50-over). Additionally, she was appointed as the first woman to umpire in an international men’s match in 2006 in a One Day International between Ireland and Scotland. Adding to her list of achievements, Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts.

Cotton, who believes that she hasn’t faced any scrutiny for her gender, added in an interview, that, “The players test you just like any other umpire – they’re just interested in making the right judgments, and that’s what we want as well”.

Prior to Cotton, Australia’s Claire Polosak had become the first female umpire to stand in a men’s international one-day match in the 2019 World Cricket League Division finale between Oman and Namibia. During the 2021-22 Border Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia in Sydney, Polosak also served as the fourth umpire. With this feat, Polosak became the first female match official in a men’s Test match.

Not just the female umpires abroad are making a mark, but recently in the Ranji Trophy Vrinda Rathi, N. Janani, and V. Gayathri became the first females to officiate in the history of this tournament

All three women umpires come from different backgrounds. Delhi-based Gayathri, 44, a former cricketer suffered a shoulder injury that had put a stop to her cricketing career. But, in 2019, after passing the BCCI exam, she started her second innings in cricket with umpiring.

Janani, 37 years old, who previously worked as a software engineer, had approached Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to become an umpire. She started her umpiring career in 2018 after the state cricket body changed the rules to allow women to officiate. Rathi, 33, who hails from Mumbai was a scorer in local matches before she cleared the BCCI scorers exam. She went on to become BCCI’s official scorer in the 2013 Women’s World Cup. She then moved to umpiring.

Recently, in a historic first, Rathi also became the first female from India to serve as an on-field umpire in the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa.

This year’s Under-19 Women’s T20 World featured an all-female panel to officiate the matches. In an article on Crictracker, ICC manager of women’s cricket, Snehal Pradhan stated that “When young women and girls see it, they believe that they can be it. That’s just one of the reasons why having this match officials panel is so special.” Pradhan added, “It shows the next generation that there is a career and a pathway that takes them to the very top of the game, the World Cup, even if you’re not a player. It shows that there are so many ways to get involved“.

It’s the achievement of these female umpires that is inspiring more and more women to pursue a career in sports. There are many ways to be involved in sports and umpiring is one of them. A lot of the women umpires come from different professional backgrounds. Their accomplishments pave the way for the growing representation of women in sports.

Agenbag, who was the first South African woman to stand in a Women’s T20 international in 2019, stated in a report that “The ICC Development Panel allowed me to go to women’s World Cups, work in high-pressure situations, including doing televised games, which is a big skill one needs to develop.” She further added, “Though men in this space have never treated me differently because I’m a woman, coming into [the set-up], I was a little bit sceptical because it’s male-dominated with not a lot of female presence around.  So, it helps to have trailblazers like Claire, Kim [Cotton], Sue Redfern, Kathy Cross as good mentors, and have more women’s cricket televised matches, because if that’s where most women umpires are at, you’ve got to give young girls the exposure to see that.”

Though in cricket, female umpires are still under-represented, women’s participation in the sport is increasing with the passing days. The discussions around females in sports have paved the way for women to be involved in different spheres of the sports industry. From field to management, women are taking up various roles in sports.

Cricket as a sport was seen as a male-dominated sport, a few years back. However, currently, the growing popularity of female cricket and the introduction of leagues for women have contributed to bringing positive change for women in sports.

Shubhda Bhosle, one of India’s youngest female umpires and also one of the four umpires on an all-women panel of match officials in the 2022 Legends League Cricket tournament in Oman, said in an interview with Al Jazeera, “The rise of women’s franchise leagues has also been a key driver.

Boom Truck Market 2022-2026: Key Driver and Challenge

The market is driven by the growth in end-user industries due to urbanization. Rapid urbanization, especially in developing countries has resulted in an increase in the number of megacities. According to an estimate, the number of people living in urban areas is expected to increase by 1.5 times by 2045. Thus, indicating a significant rise in population migration from rural to urban areas. This will lead to an increase in the construction of hotels, railways, roads, hospitals, and residential buildings. All these factors will increase the demand for construction and industrial machinery, thereby driving the growth of the market in focus.

However, the increasing availability of second-hand boom trucks and counterfeit boom trucks will challenge the growth of the market players. High capital requirement is one of the key factors deterring end-users from buying new boom trucks. Besides, the availability of second-hand boom trucks at a lower price is making end-users reluctant to purchase new boom trucks. In addition, the increased penetration of counterfeit boom trucks is expected to further reduce the growth potential in the market.

Boom Truck Market 2022-2026: Segmentation

The global boom truck market is segmented as below:

  • End-user

Content: A new report claims the upcoming Barbie film directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is a “feminist” film.

Time’s Eliana Dockterman, known for getting called out for her extreme political views by former Superman actor Dean Cain, recently reported numerous actors and actresses in Barbie informed her the film is indeed a feminist movie.

While discussing the film with Mattel Films’ Executive Producer Robbie Brenner, he informed her that the film is “not a feminist movie.”

However, Dockterman reported that Brenner’s comments were “a striking contrast to my interpretation of the film and conversations with many of the actors, who used that term unprompted to describe the script.”

In fact, she broached the topic with the film’s star Margot Robbie who reacted by raising an eyebrow and asking, “Who said that? It’s not that it is or it isn’t. It’s a movie. It’s a movie that’s got so much in it.”

Robbie would add, “We’re in on the joke. This isn’t a Barbie puff piece.”

This report comes after Robbie sat down with Fandango and revealed the film is about “having a relevant conversation about where the world wis today and then also be acknowledging like this long 60+ year history. It’s just a lot of things to do at once and she does it so deftly and ultimately the whole experience is still fun. Like it’s so fun and weirdly emotional.”

Actress Issa Rae, who plays President Barbie in the film, also made clear the film has feminist messaging. While asking how she identifies a Ken, Rae said, “I think a Ken for me is just kind of there. I think a Ken is just a great accessory. That’s what I loved about Greta’s imagining of Barbie is that the Ken’s are just supplemental characters to these Barbies while Barbies can do everything Kens are there to kind of support and don’t necessarily have their own story.”

She added, “And I think that’s not necessarily a negative thing. It’s incredibly strong for men to be in supportive roles and to support the greatness that is women/Barbie.”

Kate McKinnon would then reveal the script from the film is “about how like gender roles deny people half their humanity and how like we need to just like be ourselves and it’s a like a very powerful message.”

When attempting to explain how she identifies a Ken she said, “And so like I spot a Ken, everyone’s themselves, you know.”

Robbie previously revealed back in December 2020 to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview alongside her producer partner Josey McNamara that she planned to subvert moviegoers’ expectations of the movie.

McNamara informed the outlet, “We used to say we want things to be subversive, but now it’s more about how is it surprising? There’s so many things that are trying to be subversive these days but very few things that are actually surprising.

Robbie added, “And we like the things that feel a little left of center. Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,’ but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn’t know you wanted.’”

When The Hollywood Reporter’s Lacey Rose commented, “Having Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach attached to write it in itself subverts expectations …” Robbie replied, “Yes. Now, can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people?”

“Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then we’re really firing on all cylinders,” she concluded.

In that same interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie noted that one of her production company’s main goals was to promote female stories from female creators.

She said, “In starting any business, it’s about identifying a gap in the market. And the conversation started because I was like, ‘I keep picking up scripts, and I never want to play the girl, I just want to play the guy.’ And I can’t be [the only one].”

“There are brilliant actresses who aren’t getting amazing roles. And beyond that, you look at the statistics of male versus female directors, male versus female writers, etc., and there’s so much to be done. You can’t just sit there and do nothing when you hear those stats,” she added.

Kim Cotton: The First Female Umpire To Officiate A Men’s T20 International Match

Kim Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts and has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup.

Kim Cotton, in a historic moment, became the first-ever female umpire to stand in a men’s international match between two ICC Full Member countries. Kim Cotton was umpiring the second men’s T20 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Dunedin.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to Twitter to share the news of this historic moment in cricket. In the match, Kim, a New Zealander, took the field with another New Zealand official, Wayne Knights. The representation of women in sports has witnessed a gradual increase in the past few years.

Since 2018, the 45-year-old cricket umpire has officiated in 16 women’s one-day internationals and 44 T20 matches. She has umpired a number of Women’s World Cup matches. In February, Cotton umpired the Women’s T20 World Cup between Australia and South Africa.

Cotton has also served as an on-field umpire for the 2022 Women’s World Cup (50-over). Additionally, she was appointed as the first woman to umpire in an international men’s match in 2006 in a One Day International between Ireland and Scotland. Adding to her list of achievements, Cotton was the first female TV umpire in a men’s senior T20 competition in Canterbury-Central Districts.

Cotton, who believes that she hasn’t faced any scrutiny for her gender, added in an interview, that, “The players test you just like any other umpire – they’re just interested in making the right judgments, and that’s what we want as well”.

Prior to Cotton, Australia’s Claire Polosak had become the first female umpire to stand in a men’s international one-day match in the 2019 World Cricket League Division finale between Oman and Namibia. During the 2021-22 Border Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia in Sydney, Polosak also served as the fourth umpire. With this feat, Polosak became the first female match official in a men’s Test match.

Not just the female umpires abroad are making a mark, but recently in the Ranji Trophy Vrinda Rathi, N. Janani, and V. Gayathri became the first females to officiate in the history of this tournament

All three women umpires come from different backgrounds. Delhi-based Gayathri, 44, a former cricketer suffered a shoulder injury that had put a stop to her cricketing career. But, in 2019, after passing the BCCI exam, she started her second innings in cricket with umpiring.

Janani, 37 years old, who previously worked as a software engineer, had approached Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to become an umpire. She started her umpiring career in 2018 after the state cricket body changed the rules to allow women to officiate. Rathi, 33, who hails from Mumbai was a scorer in local matches before she cleared the BCCI scorers exam. She went on to become BCCI’s official scorer in the 2013 Women’s World Cup. She then moved to umpiring.

Recently, in a historic first, Rathi also became the first female from India to serve as an on-field umpire in the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa.

This year’s Under-19 Women’s T20 World featured an all-female panel to officiate the matches. In an article on Crictracker, ICC manager of women’s cricket, Snehal Pradhan stated that “When young women and girls see it, they believe that they can be it. That’s just one of the reasons why having this match officials panel is so special.” Pradhan added, “It shows the next generation that there is a career and a pathway that takes them to the very top of the game, the World Cup, even if you’re not a player. It shows that there are so many ways to get involved“.

It’s the achievement of these female umpires that is inspiring more and more women to pursue a career in sports. There are many ways to be involved in sports and umpiring is one of them. A lot of the women umpires come from different professional backgrounds. Their accomplishments pave the way for the growing representation of women in sports.

Agenbag, who was the first South African woman to stand in a Women’s T20 international in 2019, stated in a report that “The ICC Development Panel allowed me to go to women’s World Cups, work in high-pressure situations, including doing televised games, which is a big skill one needs to develop.” She further added, “Though men in this space have never treated me differently because I’m a woman, coming into [the set-up], I was a little bit sceptical because it’s male-dominated with not a lot of female presence around.  So, it helps to have trailblazers like Claire, Kim [Cotton], Sue Redfern, Kathy Cross as good mentors, and have more women’s cricket televised matches, because if that’s where most women umpires are at, you’ve got to give young girls the exposure to see that.”

Though in cricket, female umpires are still under-represented, women’s participation in the sport is increasing with the passing days. The discussions around females in sports have paved the way for women to be involved in different spheres of the sports industry. From field to management, women are taking up various roles in sports.

Cricket as a sport was seen as a male-dominated sport, a few years back. However, currently, the growing popularity of female cricket and the introduction of leagues for women have contributed to bringing positive change for women in sports.

Shubhda Bhosle, one of India’s youngest female umpires and also one of the four umpires on an all-women panel of match officials in the 2022 Legends League Cricket tournament in Oman, said in an interview with Al Jazeera, “The rise of women’s franchise leagues has also been a key driver. The short-format [nature] of the competitions allows scope for back-to-back power-packed tournaments [for an umpire to sign up]”.

Sport is recognised as an important cultural institution that contributes to the establishment and reinforcement of gender inequalities. The progress in providing more opportunities for women in sports will have a significant effect on enhanced women’s participation.
