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.

Event Description
Institute of Social Studies Trust, in association with Heinrich Boll Stiftung, cordially invites you to the
XXXIII Gender and Economic Policy Discussion Forum on “Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Subsequent Lockdown on violence and women's security”.
Institute of Social Studies Trust, in collaboration with the Heinrich Boll Stiftung, has been organizing these forums for the last 8 years and 2020 marks the ninth iteration in this series. For more information on our previous forums please click here.
Usually organized in the form of a half-day panel discussion ending with lunch, this year we have decided to go online.
This year’s topic has been planned keeping in mind the COVID-19 pandemic situation. It is now well known that the pandemic and lockdown have had several unintended consequences which are glaringly gendered. One such crisis, which many have labelled a ‘shadow pandemic’, is to do with the rapid escalation of violence against women (VAW). Violence against women has escalated both at home as well as other spaces such as workplaces and public spaces. This discussion aims to understand these multiple contexts where VAW has escalated during the pandemic, the implications of such an escalation and women’s coping mechanisms. We wish to hear from expert practitioners about some of the ways in which policy interventions can be designed to address this alarming crisis.
The online forum is scheduled for September 25, 2020 from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM IST via Zoom. Please click on this link to register for the event. Registration is free.
