In developing countries like India, poor health and inability to access health care are an important part of the experience of ageing, particularly among people living in poverty: access to treatment is governed by public policy, as well as socio-economic characteristics of the elderly people.

Gender-based violence and property grabbing in Africa: a denial of women’s liberty and security

Keywords

Overview

Property grabbing is a new form of gendered violence against women, threatening the security of women across Southern and East Africa.

Widows are particularly vulnerable, partly as a result of weakened customary practice and social safety nets that […]

Roadblocks on the ruta de denuncia: negotiating women’s rights and resisting violences in postwar Guatemala’s Northern Transversal Strip

Keywords

Overview

In 1996, Guatemala’s Peace Accords were signed, concluding 36 years of war and genocide. However, persisting violence, including violences against women (VAW) and criminalisation of human rights defenders protesting inequalities provoked by postwar extractivism, threatens the democracy promised through formal peace. Specifically, women human rights defenders (WHRDs) play key roles in these struggles, which this […]
