Striking Women: Struggles and Strategies of South Asian Women Workers from Grunwick to Gate Gourmet." Gender & Development, 26(3), pp. 603–604
Gender and the political economy of conflict in Africa
The relationships of violence at the centre of the relationship between labour and capital are rarely understood as violence, and even less so as gendered violence. But they are, and Turshen’s anal
Challenging Gendered Inequalities in Global Health
This article considers the implications of the changing funding landscape in global health for NGOs in the health sector, particularly where they have aspired to promote gender equality and justice through their health work. The article reflects on the tensions that arise as a result of the growing influence of business norms within health funding alongside what critics have termed the 'scientization' of global health, and it considers the gender…

As far as the international organisations and NGOs are concerned, the corruption among their representatives in Argentina makes it very difficult to ensure even a minimal amount of the money actually reaches the grassroots communities.

Gender training for development practitioners
This article considers gender training for Oxfam staff working on a development program or project in a particular context where their experience of gender relations and ability to seek gender equality is informed by their hierarchial position, by their national culture, and by the fact that institutions are also gendered. Thus, the article focuses on contextualizing gender training and on the potential of such training to transform institutions.…
