Deadline: 20 October 2016
Gender & Development is inviting papers and will examine the theme of Water Sanitation and Hygiene, through the lens of gender equality and women’s rights.
G&D is a unique journal, producing content on three themes each year – in March, July and November – to inform and influence development policymakers, practitioners and researchers about placing women’s rights and gender equality at the centre of their work. It is published for Oxfam by Routledge/Taylor and Francis. G&D provides a forum for the sharing of innovation, good practices and lessons learned from researchers, policymakers, development practitioners and feminist activists, particularly offering space to those from the global South.
Ideas
- Challenges to delivering SDG6, from a gender equality/women’s rights perspective
- Women’s activism in advocacy and influencing for WASH with governments and the international community
- Case studies of work to involve women as leaders and equal participants in WASH-focused community level work, in different contexts: urban areas, humanitarian contexts, fragile environments
- Innovative work around gender-specific needs on WASH including menstruation needs of adolescent girls and young women in education and training
- Women’s rights and gender equality activism around prevention and eradication of water-borne diseases and related concerns, in different contexts.
- Women’s leadership and technical expertise, in water and sanitation, from the grassroots, via technical and decision-making roles in civil society and government, to the leadership of international development organisations
- Women’s organisations framing water as an issue of justice, challenging unsustainable development models and asserting models of water provision which uphold the human right to water.
