Overview

Peace is made at home, in the streets, in our communities – and on the world stage. In all these spaces, women in all their diversity work to forge the conditions that make peace possible. Perhaps nowhere is this clearer than in conflict-affected countries, where diverse women’s organizations draw attention to human rights violations happening […]

Languages: English

Keywords

Overview

Women are heavily overrepresented in low-value and unstable work. Their unpaid and largely unrecognised caring work within the household greatly limits their choice of employment. This ‘time poverty’, as well as lack of mobility, limits women’s access to training and information and reduces their chances of improving their livelihoods. We therefore need to address both […]

Securing the fruits of their labours: the effect of the crisis on women farm workers in Peru’s Ica valley

Keywords

Overview

Despite immediate promises of economic recovery by some Latin American governments, women in some regions of the continent are feeling the aftermath of the crisis deeply. This is because of both the interconnectedness of their regions to the export market, and pre-existing economic policies and social factors, including gender inequality that strengthens inequalities. These factors […]

Access to health care among poor elderly women in India: how far do policies respond to women’s realities?

Keywords

Overview

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. My research into morbidity among the elderly in an urban […]

Grassroots women’s leadership and ‘Deepening Democracy’: the Huairou Commission’s Local to Local Dialogue replication

Keywords

Overview

Grassroots women’s leadership is important if democracy is to be ‘deepened’ – that is, if representative democracies are to formally include citizen participation in more ways than simply voting in elections. One approach to deepening democracy is to encourage and support spaces – both literal and metaphorical – that enable grassroots women to organise as […]

This article explores how African women have embraced the blogging phenomenon, and how blogs can be used to promote women’s equality and empowerment.

Women’s pages’ in Kenya’s newspapers: implications for the country’s development

Keywords

Overview

Newspapers in Kenya are written for men, and about the affairs of men, whereas women remain invisible in relation to the serious issues of the day. But there have been efforts to cover women’s issues, and to sell newspapers to Kenyan women. These have taken the form of having separate and detached ‘women’s pages’ slotted […]

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. Forced evictions are often accompanied by further acts of violence, including physical and mental harassment, and abuse. Widows are particularly vulnerable, partly as a result of weakened customary practice and social safety nets that […]
