RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools

This synthesis draws on evidence from 17 humanitarian evaluations across diverse crisis settings. It identifies key feminist evaluation innovations across four domains - design, methods, analysis, and ethics - illustrating how feminist principles can be embedded throughout the evaluation process. It also surfaces broader shifts required at policy, institutional, and practice levels to realise the transformative potential of feminist approaches in humanitarian contexts.

The toolkit translates these insights into applied guidance for evaluators and organisations. It provides step-by-step support across the full evaluation cycle, including planning, design, methods, analysis, ethics, and dissemination. Drawing on global feminist evaluation practice, humanitarian guidance, and gender evaluation standards, it includes adaptable tools, participatory and arts-based methods, guiding questions, and templates for field application.

UTTHAN - Research Report

Traversing the path with women farmers in their fields and in our reflections/writings, a stark observation was the sheer lack of localized and regional vocabulary and terminology to adequately capture and communicate the understanding of climate change and mitigation strategies, informed by the unique experiences and needs of small and marginal women farmers. This is what propelled our research - to examine how women farmers perceive, express, experience, and respond to climate variability across

Our Research Report centres the lived experiences, generational knowledge, and resilience strategies of small and marginal women farmers from the coastal (Bhavnagar) and hilly (Dahod & Panchmahal) regions i.e two contrasting agro-climatic zones of Gujarat. Through their voices, the study reveals exactly how climate change intersects with gender, land rights, labour burdens, and food security.

I do not know of any project, but I was thinking that you need a case to work on it. There are papers that have studied rape through studying a case. Now, if you want to work on a case, then it should accessible since you would like to look at it from an anthropological approach.

Hi Jasmine!

Some very interesting work has been done on rape in feminist anthropology. You might want to check out Christine Helliwell article on rape, feminism and difference. I am copying the j stor link to the article here, you can read it online :

http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3175417?uid=3738256&uid=2...

Please let me know if you are unable to access it, I can share my copy of the article with you.

Hey Akanksha , Thanks a lot for the reply. I was unable to open the folder. I dont have access to JSTOR. I am currently doing the research independently so yes dependent on people sharing the folders with me. I was intrigued by this phenomena about how we in india do not have any research work done on rape and anthropology  why do men rape? . I recently came across Janaki Lenin's work on anthropology of Rape in animal kingdom. and the whole thought got triggered from there.

Thanks Jasmine, I am sure Janaki Lenin's article would make an interesting read. Your research will definitely make an important contribution to a less researched area in the anthropology of gender and politics, in fact. Also, I can share my copy of Helliwell's article with you on drop box or through email. My email id is akanksha@feministevaluation. org

Please feel free to get in touch, in case you want this article or other material in the anthropology of gender. Its always great to be able to share resources :)

Hi Jasmine/Akansha, in addition to the brillient piece by Helliwell- i find the work of Prem Chowdhry on gender based violence and her exploration of the concept of 'izzat' quite useful. Most of her work though focuses on north India/Haryana to be specific and has been published in EPW. The one i remember from the top of head is a paper called Enforcing Cultural Codes-Gender and Violence in Northern India. Hope this helps!!
