The Loneliness Room by Sean Redmond
Territorial control by non-state armed groups and gendered access to healthcare in conflict using a new complex adaptive systems framework
The growing prevalence and influence of non-state armed groups (NSAGs) in armed conflict requires a deeper understanding of how their territorial control and contestation affect sub-national healthcare availability and outcomes, particularly with regards to gender dynamics. However, there are gaps in existing research in understanding how NSAG governance influences health care outcomes. Furthermore, a disconnect exists between the literature on i…
Feminist and youth-led approaches to transforming social and gender norms in South and South-East Asia
Current challenges in approaches to understand and shift social norms relate to the absence of a methodology guided by an ethical framework that recognises the power dynamics inherent in social norms research and intervention design. This is particularly the case for social and gender norms related to sexual reproductive health rights, child marriage, harassment in public places, gender-based violence, unpaid care work, and gendered work roles. T…

If she gets married when she is young, she will give birth to many kids’
Child marriage is associated with adverse health and social outcomes for women and girls. Among pastoralists in Kenya, child marriage is believed to be higher compared to the national average. This paper explores how social norms and contextual factors sustain child marriage in communities living in conflict-affected North Eastern Kenya. In-depth interviews were carried out with nomadic and semi-nomadic women and men of reproductive age in Wajir …
Improving provision of family planning among pastoralists in Kenya
There exist significant inequities in access to family planning (FP) in Kenya, particularly for nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoralists. Health care providers (HCP), are key in delivering FP services. Community leaders and religious leaders are also key influencers in women's decisions to use FP. We found limited research exploring the perspectives of both HCPs and these local leaders in this context. We conducted semi-structured interviews with HC…
Global health is political; can it also be compassionate
We need a renewed vision for global health as well as a renewed vision of ourselves in it. If, as researchers and practitioners, we spend too much time protecting our careers and our funding sources at any costs, and too little time with the people we aim to help, we will struggle to both recognise their suffering as suffering and accept the extent to which we can be profoundly mistaken in what these people need. To improve health for all, we nee…
