My article on women's judicial representation in Haiti is officially published in @PoliticsGenderJ! Did you know that justice reform may open up opportunities for women to access the judiciary by simply rewarding academic achievements over powerful connections?🤔

[Politics & Gender @PoliticsGenderJ]

In 'Women's Judicial Representation in Haiti' @TRaasen finds in 🇭🇹 that “gender-neutral” judicial reforms aimed at strengthening the judiciary have done more for ♀️'s judicial representation than explicitly gender-targeted policies.

📢 New article out: Staying Power

We show how political seniority—often treated as neutral experience—works as a gendered informal institution shaping access to power in parliament.

What works in combatting gender-based violence in development aid? In this evidence review for the Development Learning Lab (DLL), I try to give an overview of which interventions are effective, and when.

🇭🇹Human Rights & feminist orgs: “Women are leaders in community organizations, business, healthcare, education… Yet in this pivotal moment in Haiti’s democracy, we are being given nothing but a chance to watch men make decisions from the observer seat”

One of the most shocking statistics I have found so far on the war in Gaza:

Israel has killed more children in Gaza in 3 months than were killed in all conflicts around the world over a 3-year period, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝.
