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.

Woman

Do not brand me, do not command me
Mother, sister, or wife, I need not be
Fie on you! Do not try to define me!
When you define me, you confine me
I am me, just me.

Do not ever limit my thought
Do not tell me what I am not
If I am selfish, I do not hold monopoly
If I am moody, see it not as some folly
I am me, just me.

Stop the labels, enough with the stereotype
Look deep in the mirror, I hold no gripe
The burden of compassion, the burden of care
It is not just for me, we must all surely share
I am me, just me.

Judge not my sins, nor ask if I am a sage
You be clean, when you turn my page
I am no less nor more, with the left & right brain
Stop your airs, you’re no better, on my life train
I am me, just me.

I read it again- this is my fav stanza

Do not brand me, do not command me
Mother, sister, or wife, I need not be
Fie on you! Do not try to define me!
When you define me, you confine me
I am me, just me.
