Given the new age of technology where news shows feature tweets as much as interviews (or more), taking advantage of the opportunities offered by digital media has enabled youth advocates to amplify their voices.

The Underlying Myth for FGMWhat is fgm?Adam and EveThe most common reason for FGMOriginal motivesIslamic ReliefGlobal statistics The Underlying Myth for FGM How often have we heard the story of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from heaven, and the “Fall of man to earth”? Numerous times. How many versions are there to this story? Again countless versions, from the ancient Greek religion to the Abrahamic faiths, as well as the additional fantasies of historians and folklore. There is a striking detail in this story which in some interpretations, portrays Adam as a morally composed human being, swayed by his partner –Eve, who [...]

Why now?Beijing Declaration and Platform for ActionNew ApproachesWhat we can do for Women’s Rights in 2020 Across the globe, world leaders, civil societies and the private sector are set to make Women’s Rights in 2020 a priority.

The anniversaries of these landmark events causes us [...]

Refugee and Migrant Communities in the UK ChallengeA burden?Challenging anti-refugee narrativesHow can we help? Refugee and Migrant Communities in the UK Challenge Refugees are often on the receiving end of philanthropic giving. However, refugee and migrant communities in the UK also provide sizeable charitable donations and aid, as highlighted in recent studies. In this blog post, Madiha Sadiq and Olivia Everett argue donations by refugee and migrant communities in the UK should be better valued, celebrated, shared and most critically, supported. A burden? Stances against migrants and refugees are often based on a nexus of nationalist opposition and economic rationalisation. These [...]

Addressing Global South/North Inequalities in Research

As a researcher who was born and spent most of her adult and working life in South Africa, I have long valued the contribution of researchers and academics from the Global South. I was fortunate to be surrounded by inspirational and innovative colleagues from universities and organisations from around Africa.

Academics and researchers from the Global South are disadvantaged in many ways and are not only regarded as less valuable, but are often valued less than [...]
