Gender is one of the key themes crosscutting our #urbandevelopment research in #AfricanCities.

<Limited by assumptions>
Last week some of our team were lucky enough to meet Patience Adzande (@Peishoo19). Then she told us about the politics of IDP camps in Maiduguri. Here she writes about how assumptions of gender limit the effectiveness of informal policing in the city.
Happy to share my blog on gender and informal policing in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Thanks to @pjmeth1 and @AfricanCities_ Comms. Team for your comments and edits.
And to you: thanks for reading and sharing 😊
