Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women

Sources: UN Women

This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

This article focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

International Women's Day 2021

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 Women's Day to you

Wow. This speaks simple truths. We are all this and more and one day of the year is nice, but not quite enough in 2021.
