(In)Equality and action: the role of women’s training initiatives in promoting women’s leadership opportunities in Myanmar

Keywords

Overview

As Myanmar has moved to a civilian government following decades of military rule, new opportunities for women’s political participation have emerged. However, persistent social and institutional inequalities – including lack of high-quality formal education – have left many women ill-positioned to contribute to political debate. While recent reforms are indicating increased attention to supporting education […]

The realization of women’s land rights often tends to get no further than the level of action plans and policies that are rarely implemented, due to a lack of real political commitment and the patriarchal values that still predominate in Africa. To realize full gender equality (Goal 17), the implementation plan of the African Union […]

Languages: English, French, Spanish

Keywords

Overview

Women’s economic empowerment could reduce poverty for everyone. In order to achieve it, we need to first fix the current broken economic model which is undermining gender equality and causing extreme economic inequality.

Languages: English, French, Spanish

Keywords

Overview

Development actors are increasingly prioritising ‘investing in women’ to ensure food security and sustainability-as well as equity-in agricultural development. In this context, collective action is a critical but poorly understood way for women small-scale farmers to strengthen their engagement in agricultural markets.

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 […]

Keywords

Overview

This article focuses on women’s rights organisations and their role in challenging inequality within the development process. Women in poverty are excluded as a result of their unequal societal position, geographic location, and the predominance of ‘topdown’ and piecemeal policymaking processes carried out by donor governments. We argue that in-country women’s rights organisations provide the […]
