Women’s Employment and Spousal Abuse: A Parallel Cross-Country Analysis of Thirty-Five Developing Countries
This study explores how domestic violence (DV) and employment interact and impact female economic empowerment in developing economies. Using microdata from thirty-five countries, the effect of women’s employment on reported DV is estimated. An instrumental variables model using the 2SRI technique is used to correct for the potential endogeneity of women’s employment, which might bias the relationship between employment and DV. The study also atte…
Platform Mechanics of Hate and Marginality: Perspectives From the Global South
This panel critically examines platform imperialism by exploring platform affordances, constraints, and the social practices they reshape. Through four case studies from India and Kenya, we challenge dominant Western theoretical frameworks, emphasizing how platforms intersect with shared histories of colonialism, racialized dispossession, and extraction across the majority world. Through this panel, we aim to generate theoretical alternatives tha…
In the Service of the Hindu Nation: Online Disinformation Campaigns by Far-Right Women Political Influencers in India
In the last few years, with the rise of social media, India has witnessed systematic disinformation campaigns attacking Muslim minority communities. Women influencers connected to Hindu nationalism play a crucial role in these campaigns online. This article examines the role of Hindu-Right women as political influencers.

Are We the Problem? A Call to Action for Addressing Institutional Challenges to Engaging Community Partners in Research
Community-engaged research (CEnR) is a potent tool for addressing health inequities and fostering equitable relationships among communities, researchers, and institutions. CEnR involves collaboration throughout the research process, demonstrating improvements in study recruitment and retention, intervention efficacy, program sustainability, capacity building among partners, and enhanced cultural relevance. Despite the increasing demand for CEnR, …
Does women's economic empowerment promote human development in low- and middle-income countries? A meta-analysis
Reducing gender inequality in economic opportunities is considered valuable in its own right and a critical element in ending poverty and boosting economic prosperity. Does the evidence from multiple interventions support this view? This paper investigates the impact of women's economic empowerment (WEE) on human development in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). This meta-analysis focuses on interventions that increase income generation opp…
Practices, support and stigma related to infant feeding and postpartum engagement in care among women living with HIV in Canada
Background: Breastfeeding is not recommended for women living with HIV (WLWH) in Canada. We described the prevalence of breastfeeding and explored experiences of care, support, and stigma related to infant feeding. Setting: Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia (Canada). Methods: Data were obtained from the HIV Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS) surveys, conducted between 2013 and 2018. Results: Breastfeeding was reporte…
Video directly observed therapy to improve adherence of human immunodeficiency virus infected adolescents to combination antiretroviral therapy: A proof-of-concept study
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major challenge for many youth living with HIV (YLWH). In this prospective proof-of-concept study, we assessed the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a study of video directly observed therapy (VDOT) as a method of improving medication adherence in YLWH who had a history of poor adherence to ART. The study had four phases; phase I – VDOT daily (4 months) using Facetime®; phase II – daily tex…
Female education and marriage in Pakistan: The role of financial shocks and marital customs
Canvassing the Gatekeepers: A Field Experiment to Increase Women Voters' Turnout in Pakistan
How can we close persistent gender gaps in political participation? We develop a theory highlighting the role of male household members as "gatekeepers" of women's participation in patriarchal settings and argue that the answer involves targeting these men. We conduct a field experiment in Pakistan and find that targeting women with a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaign has no effect on their turnout in a national election. However, women's tur…

The study will play a leading role in providing information about the QoL of Emirati women with BC and will help in recognizing the aspects of QoL in BC survivorship that requires special attention. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 Emirati women…
Childcare, Work, and Household Labor During a Pandemic: Evidence on Parents’ Preferences in the United States
By exacerbating a pre-existing crisis of childcare in the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many parents to renegotiate household arrangements. What shapes parents’ preferences over different arrangements? In an online conjoint experiment, we assess how childcare availability, work status and earnings, and the intra-household division of labor shape heterosexual American parents’ preferences over different situations. We find that while…
Field Experiments on Gender: Where the Personal and Political Collide
The use of experimental methods to study questions of gender and politics has increased dramatically in the past decade. 1As research that uses a deductive hypothesis-testing framework, these studies derive value from the idea of their objectivity and neutrality.Yet, reality is far more complex.This article argues that researchers conducting field experimental work on gender topics should confront their own normative commitments to produce empiri…

Loneliness and perceived social support in pregnancy and early postpartum of mothers living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
The HIV Mothering Study (n = 72) was a prospective, observational, cohort study exploring psychosocial experiences and needs of WLWHIV in pregnancy and postpartum. We performed quantitative analysis of determinants of loneliness (UCLA Loneliness Scale) and lower perceived social support (SS) (Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey). The hypothesized determinants included: age, years with HIV, racism (Everyday Discrimination Scale), depressi…

Weight patterns and perceptions among female university students of Karachi: A cross sectional study
Our study shows that among female university students in Karachi, the prevalence of being underweight is comparatively high. There is a significant misperception of weight, with one third of students misclassifying themselves. Underweight females are likely to perceive themselves as normal and be most satisfied with their weight. Health policy makers should implement these findings in future development of health interventions and prevention of d…
A New-Look for Muslim Women in the Canadian Media: CBC's Little Mosque on the Prairie
The coverage of Muslim women in Western media has long been using Orientalist stereotypes and portrayals of Muslims as outsiders. Even though racist stereotypes exist in Canada, Canadian legislation and the media are attempting to portray an idealistic form of multiculturalism. Recently, Canadian mainstream media have refrained from stereotypical representations of Muslims, especially women, and shifted toward non-Orientalist representations. CBC…
Visualising the Incarnation in Medieval Christianity: Universal Botanical Metaphors and Local Cult Practices
Within Christian iconography and in medieval Christian cult practices, floral depictions play a major role. The genesis of such floral pictorial signs has not been addressed in art historical writing. This article attempts to trace the origins of the Christian floral iconography, investigates the perceptions and usages of such motifs in cult practices and proceeds to demonstrate the extent to which Christian sources shared a common under-standing…
Ave Eva—Views of Women: Social and Gendered Instruction in Medieval and Early Modern European Preaching
Who read the Christian cult images in the Middle Ages, and in what ways? With the relationship between devotional images in churches and instruction through sermons as its point of departure, this article demonstrates that sermons were imparted in a differentiated manner, implying differentiation in views of the 'world'. These perceptions, which shaped responses to Christian images, prompt us to take a fresh look at the accepted model of bipolar …
