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.

Women's roles and rights in different contexts

I cam across the current quarterly report of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC:

Women in the Middle East

This is a new publication from the Wilson Center www.wilsoncenter.org/middleeast 

It contains several interesting articles on the role of women in the Middle East, covers different countries, and emphasizes the historical, cultural, religious and political contexts in which women work. The publication  might be useful to colleagues working in evaluation in the region. I am curious how colleagues from the Middle East respond to the information.

Also, reading these articles underscores for me how challenging it is to incorporate context while staying true to the support of human rights. I always struggle with this, and appreciate support and insight of colleagues.

Thank you

Hi Tessie
I have forwarded your message to evalgender MENA for their input. However I totally agree that the particularity of context is a vital element that needs to inform our practice, as well as indigenous perspectives.
