A large amount of the international development funding for women’s rights and gender justice goes to supporting women’s representation and leadership in formal decision-making bodies. This support is often about strengthening their technical skills. However, much more is needed to support women engaged in work that is stressful, often abusive and violent, and may even […]

‘Pink transportation’ in Mexico City: reclaiming urban space through collective action against gender-based violence

Keywords

Fundamentalisms, globalisation and women’s human rights in Senegal

Keywords

Overview

One response to the phenomenon of globalisation in politics, economics and culture has been a resurgence of fundamentalist movements.

But the links between fundamentalisms, tradition and modernity are very complex. In this article I look at the […]
