Covid-19
This article examines philanthropic funding of past efforts to control emerging infectious diseases in Southeast Asia and China. The recount, based on personal insights as a foundation professional and a review of both published and unpublished material, shows that American foundations and other like-minded donors identified the risks associated with zoonotic infections early on – including from the same coronavirus family that is causing the cur…
Towards a comprehensive narrative and response to Covid-19 in Southeast Asia
The dominant narrative of the COVID-19 pandemic in Southeast Asia barely gives attention to the many social and cultural dimensions of the crisis, and humanities and social science experts remain at the margins of containment decisions.

It argues that we can help broaden the current epi…
The invisible intersectionality of female gender in Thailand’s response to the HIV epidemic
This article uses feminist perspectives to analyse Thailand's response to the HIV epidemic from its inception in 1984 until today. In particular, it applies the WHO Gender Responsiveness Assessment Scale to explain how and to what degree gender considerations have been integrated into successive HIV policies and programmes. Findings show that, from 1984 to 1996, HIV prevention policies were generally insensitive to gender and only started to pay …
Sexual and reproductive health and rights for all in Southeast Asia
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the proclaimed vision of leaving no one behind are lauded for their transformative potential in redressing inequalities. Yet, too few are interrogations of the root causes and underpinning structures that keep uneven development in place. This paper reflects on this omission in relation to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) drawing on over three decades of professional experience in advan…

Findings presented here relate primarily to the effects on Muhammadiyah's maternal and child health and contraceptive services. In order to survive and thrive amidst privat…
The challenge of addressing gender in reproductive health programmes examples from Indonesia
In 1994, ICPD stressed gender equity as a precondition for health and development while affirming the need to address women's subordination in reproductive health programmes.

Starting from the assumption that gender equity and women's empowerment are necessary to achieving women's reproductive health and using examples …

It describ…
