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.

Non-discriminatory policy or guidelines for the inclusion of LGBTQ int the workforce

Dear all,

I'd like to hear from you that if there any non-discriminatory policy on LGBTQ community entering into the workforce. Like many countries, in our context, due to socio-cultural factors, opportunities to openly discuss the subject of sexual orientation and sexual identity are limited. Therefore appreciate sharing your work experience and knowledge on this subject. 

many thanks

Thanks Ritu for sharing the youtube link. as an organization that has been working with private sectors and promoting private public partnerships, WUSC is developing a diversity and inclusion human resource toolkit for micro, small and medium scale enterprises. so as to promote different marginalized youth groups into the workforce, we would like to put some tips and guidelines on inclusion of LGBTQ into workforce. Therefore we would like to hear any good practices by other countries regarding this.
