A decolonial feminist inquiry into women’s agency in the urban landscape in 19th-century Iran

Keywords

Overview

Proposing a socio-historical and decolonial analytical lens, I challenge the current dominant discourses surrounding Iranian women’s agency in emerging public spaces in the late 19th century. I scrutinise the urban landscape in late 19th-century Iran, drawing from a variety of archival data, such as first-hand memoirs, travelogues, and official reports, to situate Iranian women in […]

Towards realistic strategies for women’s political empowerment in Africa

Keywords

Overview

Current NGO and development agency strategies to support women’s political empowerment are based on two assumptions: firstly, that women’s increased access to resources, especially education, will lead to their increased representation in political positions; and secondly, that governments are genuinely committed to leading national programmes of action for women’s advancement. Both of these assumptions are […]

Deprived of an individual identity: citizenship and women in Nepal

Keywords

Overview

Development organisations aiming to end violence against women, and to promote women’s empowerment in societies such as Nepal, need to pay attention to the question of women’s citizenship, and its links to empowerment and independence. In Nepal, citizenship rights are still accorded to women through male relatives, rather than in their own right. Many women […]

Women entrepreneurs in Nepal: what prevents them from leading the sector?

Keywords

Overview

Entrepreneurship for women is often seen as a journey out of poverty and a march towards equality. Studies have proven that entrepreneurship, in the form of small and medium sized enterprises, can indeed empower women and through time, fundamentally transform power relations within a society, making it a place where women can lead. However, in […]
