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.

Boys Do Cry: Redefining Masculinity
Discover why true strength lies in vulnerability in my latest article, “Boys Do Cry: Redefining Masculinity.” I challenge the age-old notion that men must hide their emotions, sharing powerful personal stories that expose how the pressure to “man up” often leads to loneliness and mental health struggles.
The article calls for a bold redefinition of masculinity that embraces openness and authenticity. I highlight inspiring initiatives in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and through the African Union that are creating safe spaces for men to express their feelings without judgment.
It’s time we build a world where boys and men can cry, heal, and thrive.
