Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

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

Healing Solidarity is excited to offer a BIPOC only Spoken Word Poetry and Collaging Course titled 'Embodying rest: the art of radical care'

The Spoken Word Poetry and Collaging Course  is a collaboration between Nikita Shah and Takyiwa Danso and has been curated with play, intention, creativity, rest and care in mind. 
Nikita and Takyiwa have curated the course in such a way that it is interwoven reminding us of the ways in which we are all connected in our joys and struggles as BIPOC people.
As in our shared and also diverse lineages and ancestry where creativity has been at the centre stage of our liberation, celebration and rest- through the Spoken Word Poetry and Collaging Course we are tapping into that inherent individual and collective wisdom.

We encourage you to take up the course as a whole in order to enjoy the ways in which poetry and collaging relationship with each other as well as the wisdom that lay in the mutuality of our experiences. However, there is also an option to choose one course. 

You can find more details about the course and the sliding scale workshop fee here: https://healingsolidarity.org/embodying-rest/

The course kicks off on the 25th of May and we still have spaces - so sign up now! I am happy to answer any questions so please do reach out.
