Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Event Description

Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) can be useful tools in providing key insights for NGOs and other development stakeholders. But what is the best way to integrate gender, and how can we use them to design programmes which have resilience-building measures and risk reduction strategies at their heart?

We will be drawing on experiences from development practitioners and consider what we have learnt about the importance of integrating gender issues into VAs. 

 
Join us to discuss these issues and more in a webinar on March 10th between 12-1pm. 
 
On the webinar panel will include:
  • Daniel Morchain, Oxfam GB, Global Adviser - Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience & Co-Principal Investigator ASSAR project (Adaptation at Scale in Semi Arid Regions)
  • Giorgia Prati, Postgraduate Researcher, Department of Geography and Environment, University of Southampton & DECCMA project Associate (Deltas, Vulnerability & Climate Change: Migration & Adaptation)
  • Dr Libertad Chavez-Rodriguez, Professor-Researcher, Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS), México
