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.

My Body is My Own
Dear Colleagues,
Did you know that only 55% of women have autonomy over their bodies? Women have the right to make decisions about their bodies free from violence, fear, or coercion.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) just launched their State of World Population 2021.
It highlights the importance of education, the critical role of health providers in upholding and affirming the bodily autonomy of those seeking information and care, social norms, and the alignment of laws with global agreed human rights principles.

Kind Regards,
Catalina
