Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women

Sources: UN Women

This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

This article focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

Event Description

This is to invite you to participate in a "Jan Sansad" (people’s assembly) to mark Constitution Day (26th November), and join us in collectively taking a pledge to protect and help realize basic values of the Indian Constitution.


The event will be held at  Constitution club

From 1 to 2 p.m. a number of prominent people from various sectors will come together to take the pledge. 

This will also mark the first day of a month long demonstration for Universal Pension entitlements for the unorganized sector. The slogan and message we will carry is ‘soch samajhkar aye hain, pension lekar jayenge’. 

From the 27th of November, we will sit at Jantar Mantar for a month. The 27th will be dedicated to issues related to pension, and we hope to get support from all segments of society for the cause of an independent income for the vulnerable and elderly.

From the 28th onwards, we would like to invite you to also join a People's Assembly/Jan Sansad that will be held from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. every day. After assembling in the morning, and discussing the pension demand, from 12 p.m. onwards the dharna will become a Jan Sansad, where different Campaigns will be invited to co-ordinate the platform and place the concerns of their campaign before the people. We are suggesting that each campaign formulate its demands with a focus on the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, so that the demands from all the days can be put together as a “draft peoples manifesto”. If your organization would like to participate, please contact us, so that we can co-ordinate with you and settle on the date and other details for your campaigns participation in the Jan Sansad at Jantar Mantar.
