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.

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.
