It explores the dynamics of visibility and social interactions of Kurdish women in these two cities. The study highlights the crucial role that inclusive public spaces in the city play in empowering migrant women, promoting social integration and improving their visibility in public spaces.
At a time when forced migration and the visibility of refugees are at the center of public and academic discourse, this research offers valuable insights into the everyday experiences of Kurdish women and their navigation of the urban environment.
Last year the global community marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995). In the context of this milestone and the asymmetrical gendered impact of the COVID-19 pandemic- the virtual “Dialogue on Good Practices in Gender Responsive Evaluation was organised by the Asia Pacific Evaluation association, Eval Gender+ and UN Women. to learn about the latest contributions applying a gender equality lens to evaluation
The webinar was well-received and saw the participation of more than 100 evaluation practitioners and individuals from development organisations and academia. The dialogue presented an overview of gender-responsive and feminist evaluation frameworks, while also sharing real-time experiences of experts in the field of evaluation on the application of these frameworks in the region. The challenges, lessons learnt and recommendations on how to best apply gender responsive evaluation were also shared in a lively discussion.
Considering only 27% of the audience responded in the affirmative to an in-meeting poll asking them if they have applied a Gender Responsive Framework for an evaluation in the past 2 years; the webinar, through the informed wisdom of the speakers, provided important insight on how to use gender analytical frameworks, the resources that can provide valuable learning on this theme as well as the issues, challenges and recommendations for implementation of GRE on the field. The webinar concluded with a participatory Q&A session with the speakers, ensuring that the attendees get the opportunity to engage in a one-on-one dialogue with pioneers in the field of evaluation.
The webinar was brief yet comprehensive, covering a variety of topics- from taking a closer look at granular data for employing GRE frameworks in nations to advocating for changes needed at the institutional and policy-making level for a more gender integrative approach in the evaluation process. The first in a series of such webinars, its aim was to inspire practitioners to use a feminist evaluation lens, with the endeavour to produce transformative change as envisioned in the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development.
