F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter
Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Current Gender-based Activism
I thought there may be value in having a discussion thread where members could point out some of the more interesting Gender-based activism that is taking place in their locations. I want to start it of with 'Six of the Best' from the UK. They are quite wide-ranging, some very focused on a specific issue, others broader on all aspects of inequality, but they are all high quality – and in the main the initiatives of determined and articulate young women bringing important issues to the fore.
If you take a look at any of these, do add your comments to the thread and put in some initiatives that you may be aware of in your locality.
