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.

'Change makers' Group of Girls and boys equal in number

The Change makers from each school gone through training and workshop for two years before handling the social issues. 

We have stimulated the youth by sharing the concept of Gender Equality and the sense of respect .

These kind of trainings conducted for a year within all the schools. Here these young children then come together to know the good or bad happenings in the society and the role of these youngsters in tackling such issues. Here we asked them why ? and how? such situations can be avoided.
