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

April 10 (i.e. Tomorrow), we are organising a Public Townhall on Zoom, Another Pandemic: Domestic Violence about domestic violence during the lockdown and we would like to invite you to attend it.
As you know, the COVID19 pandemic has forced people into their homes over the last few months. In this situation, many women and girls in vulnerable positions end up staying with abusive families. This has led to an increase in violence against women and domestic violence reports - the National Commission for Women has recorded a more than twofold rise in gender-based violence. The number of domestic violence cases shot up from 30 to 69 in the month of March alone.

We will have speakers from organisations working on domestic violence in various part of the country such as  Jagori, Coro, Swayam, Northeast network, My choices Foundation and Devyani Kacker (Legal expert) who will be talking about this issue and taking questions. If you want to attend, simply copy the meeting ID given below on your Zoom app. We hope to see you on Friday.
