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
The forum will attempt to understand the various issues and concerns regarding women and their work in the handloom industry while also analyzing the various policies and schemes and their impact on the women handloom workers. The effort is to understand the gender marginalization taking place in the industry despite an extensive 77% of female adult workforce in the sector as main weavers or allied workers. The discussion will also engage in experiences of successful stories of women cooperatives/associations which have succeeded in bringing the women weavers into forefront, acknowledging and appreciating their work.
