Paid work: the magic solution for young women to achieve empowerment? Evidence from the Empower Youth for Work project in Bangladesh

Keywords

Overview

Recently the ‘demographic dividend’ has attracted attention from policymakers because of the promise it delivers for development. But it has attracted criticism for taking an instrumental approach to young people rather than focusing on equality and rights. A similar critique has come from feminists evaluating livelihoods programming focusing on women’s ‘economic empowerment’. In this article, […]

Collective action, organisation building, and leadership: women workers in the garment sector in Bangladesh

Keywords

Overview

A very noticeable feature of economic development in many Asian countries has been the growing employment of young women in industry.

Visible outside, invisible inside: the power of patriarchy on female protest leaders in conflict and violence-affected settings

Keywords

Overview

The literature on women’s participation in public protests and movements shows that even when they are prominent actors within these, most women are excluded from the male-dominated decision-making spaces within which negotiations with the state occur.

Overview

Many practitioners and thinkers have tried to make women ‘matter’ in development.

Engaging women in countering violent extremism: avoiding instrumentalisation and furthering agency

Keywords

Overview

Currently, women are on the frontlines of violent extremism, as recruiters, propagators, suicide bombers, and targets, as well as leaders working on de-radicalisation, counter-messaging, and peacebuilding. It is crucial that the international community and governments engage with women in preventing violent extremism, and focus on the gender-related reasons why women become involved as protagonists and […]
