A tale of 22 cities: Utilisation patterns and content of maternal care in large African cities
INTRODUCTION: Globally, the majority of births happen in urban areas.

No Path to Power: Civil Society, State Services, and the Poverty of City Women
In focusing on Ain el-Sira, a low-income neighbourhood of Cairo, this article challenges development theorists’ ideas that civil society as a development partner is best able to promote women’s empowerment, community development and justice.

Further understanding of issues surrounding availability, affordability and quality of maternal health services among the poor is crucial to eliminating inequalities i…

It highlighted more than ever, the limitations of previous approaches that …
Days in Cairo: Thoughts from the Midan
On 25 January 2011, Egyptians took to the streets to protest against injustice and oppression. These public demonstrations lasted for three weeks, during which this peaceful tidal wave of people did not abate, culminating in the resignation of Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak.

Creating Conservatism or Emancipating Subjects? On the Narrative of Islamic Observance in Egypt
Women activists, politicians and policymakers including international development experts are seeking to harness the power of the divine. The rationale is simple: if people are driven by faith, then let us use faith to drive them towards social and political change. This article problematises the instrumentalisation of religion, arguing that there are many risks in pursuing this route as a way of addressing gendered injustices. It also calls for …
