I get tired and then I get up too .

I smile and I frown too

I work and I laze too

I sleep and I get up early too

I dream and I am realistic too

I complaint and be complacent too

I compliment and I want appreciation too.

Yes I am all this and all that more

But I don't want to be celebrated on only one day anymore

I believe in rights

And call upon you to say it out loud too

Equality, Dignity, Freedom is how we wish

Happy International…

'No Room for Misinterpretation'

The jurisprudence of the CEDAW committee seem to be the least well known and the least referenced, compared to all of the other committees for the various human rights conventions. I'm determined to change this! 

I'm preparing to write some articles which emphasize some key findings and judgements that the committee has made over the years. And where relevant highlight some of its failings.

While I was analysing the cases…

Find more about main challenges for impact evaluation in Latin America in a paper we developed together with …

Dear friends, 

I am glad to share this co-authored paper with Dr Rajalakshmi RamPrakash on publicly funded health insurance using Naila Kabeer's Gender Analytical Framework. This is a classic example. Hope you can download, use it in your work, share in your classes/training and cite. …

There is this knee-jerk reflect about "putting a number on everything". As if only numbers give a seal of credibility and authority. We should start being more vocal in resisting the tyranny of "measures first".

In social development we are grappling with many complex ideas, which can take many forms.…

Worth a read - Naila Kabeer's strong rebuttal of Esther Duflo's  proposition that affirmative action for gender equality is distortionary and inefficient. Kabeer points to the "selective storytelling" that replicates familiar biases and constructs a narrative that is not borne out by experiences on the ground.   …

Evidence shows that the value of school feeding programmes goes far beyond child nutrition.
