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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice
Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025
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.

Request to share experinces of Online Gender Based Violence in the survey form.
Hello Everyone,
My colleague and co-researcher Tanisha Ranjit and I are conducting a study on Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) and its Impact on the Civic Freedoms of Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) across six countries in the Indo-Pacific, with a focus on Cambodia, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Thailand, on behalf of ICNL - https://www.icnl.org/
One component of the research is to understand the experiences of WHRDs with OGBV through this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TWVFZLB
The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete, and the responses will be extremely valuable in identifying trends around OGBV in the region, as well as the impact of OGBV on WHRDs, with the goal of making evidence-based policy recommendations.
This was such a short-term project that we had to develop the survey ourselves. Our approach is Trauma-Informed. The entire survey has been designed to keep the privacy and safety of our participants at the centre since they might already be in danger of getting identified. We do not ask for any identifiers throughout the entire survey and most of the questions are voluntary. We have provided spaces for WHRDs who might be comfortable sharing further details.
We understand that this survey might not be relevant to everyone in your network; however, if you are able to help disseminate this to your networks in different countries and to WHRDs who might be a part of your network, this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Warmly,
Shraddha
