Desecularisation and the ‘faith agenda’ in an era of austerity: their impact on women’s and girls’ rights in the UK

Keywords

Overview

This article tackles the conjoined gender impacts of two state-led agendas in the UK – the ‘faith agenda’ and the ‘austerity agenda’. We argue that the faith agenda has revisioned the relationship between the state and its citizens into a communitarian relationship mediated by religious organisations, while the austerity agenda has led to the withdrawal […]

09/02/2022

2 documents

47 pages long

Languages: English

Keywords

Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed millions into poverty in East Africa, and worsened inequality. The economic crisis continues, due to the obscene global vaccine inequality, which means that only 4% of East African citizens had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, compared with 71% in high-income countries by mid-January2022. Many East African governments were already hamstrung by high […]

Languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish

The world of tax havens is a murky place.

Languages: English, French, Spanish

Keywords

Overview

The Affordable Medicine Facility-malaria has shown no evidence that it has saved the lives of the most vulnerable or delayed drug resistance.

It poses a risk to public health and could skew investment away from […]

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Overview

Fair tax regimes are vital to finance well-functioning states and to enable governments to uphold citizens’ rights to basic services, such as healthcare and education.
