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

As the world moves further into the many unknowns of what it means to adapt to life with COVID-19, it is clear that women are being disproportionately impacted in myriad ways. StoryCenter’s Silence Speaks program is partnering with Mumbai-based journalist and Sahiyo co-founder Aarefa Johari to offer a safe, online space where South Asian women’s personal struggles and moments of courage can be shared and virtual community can be cultivated.

During this free, one and a half hour webinar, participants (maximum of ten women) will be invited to express moments of daily life that have challenged them deeply or uplifted their spirits. Silence Speaks co-founder Amy Hill will draw on her years of experience with trauma-informed methods to support women in telling every-day stories of these unprecedented times. Selected stories will, with permission, be published online by StoryCenter; storytellers can request anonymous publication, if they wish.


  Please join us at 8 pm Delhi time on Thursday, April 16, to share a story.

This webinar is co-sponsored by Sahiyo and StoryCenter. Sahiyo works globally to end female genital mutilation and cutting (FGMC), and StoryCenter’s Silence Speaks program documents personal stories of women’s health and rights globally
