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."

It relates strongly to the evaluation of public policies and gender equality by parliaments, as it is about Gender responsive budgeting.

Seeking help on gender and money laundering

Dear all, 

I think this could be a long shot but I have to try. I am Eva Otero, an independent consultant specialised in evaluations, particularly with a gender focus (some of you already know me). I am now part of a team that is starting an evaluation for UNODC looking at a solid Global Programme against Money laundering proceeds. I am the gender expert. 

Now, as you all know certain subjects seem more impermeable to gender issues than others. This is very much the case with money laundering. I have been looking and asking around but I can find very little on how money laundering proceeds affect differently women and men. I got a few articles on financial inclusion and how strict government measures against money laundering tend to affect women access to financial services. I also saw a couple of mentions to how women are used by mafias to move illicit financial flows, and that is very much what I have found.  

I am writing to see if anyone out there could point me in the right direction. Could you recommend any good report, any bellwether, academic or activist I could talk to, who can shed light on what we cannot miss while evaluating a programme of such theme from a gender perspective?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

 

Eva
