Barriers to abortion care for recently arrived migrants in Germany
In Germany, abortion is criminalised but permitted without punishment through a specific mandatory counselling process. Navigating this highly regulated pathway may be particularly challenging for recently arrived migrants such as asylum-seekers, who often face specific vulnerabilities. The study analyses the barriers to access to abortion for recent migrants in Germany, to identify barriers for recent migrants with unwanted pregnancies by analys…
Understanding barriers for refugees and migrants when accessing abortion care in Europe
Access to safe abortion care has been the subject of international policy deliberation for several decades and was included in the World Health Organization’s essential healthcare services in 2020. It differs across Europe, with legal barriers like gestational age limits and the conscientious objection persisting in most European countries. Refugees and migrants can encounter additional barriers when accessing healthcare services for various reas…
Making ‘meanwhile. . .’
We present a participatory creative research project about the embodied experience of queer African youth, which brought together queer young people, academics and artists from Southern and East Africa (as the Qintu Collab) to produce popular media. We describe objectives and process and argue that this work can best be understood as collaborative graphic autoethnography. By working together, the Collab produced the anthology Meanwhile. . .: Grap…
The messy work of decolonial praxis
On the African continent, coloniality/modernity and the (un)freedom of queer peoples intersect in particular historically embedded and newly oppressive ways, making queerness a significant area for transformative struggles. This article draws from the learnings of a collaborative project, called the Qintu Collab, wherein queer African youth created an anthology of graphic stories and a set of podcasts based on their life experiences. The project …

Considering intersectionality in Africa
The concept of intersectionality, first conceived by Kimberle Crenshaw (1989), has widely been acknowledged as one of the most significant contributions of feminist scholarship. Broadly speaking, i
Participation in Practice
In this article we critically reflect on 'feminist research methods' and 'methodology', from the perspective of a feminist research unit at a South African university, that explicitly aims to improve gender-based violence service provision and policy through evidence-based advocacy. Despite working within a complex and inequitable developing country context, where our feminist praxis is frequently pitted against seemingly intractable structural r…
Help, harm or hinder? Non-governmental service providers’ perspectives on families and gender-based violence against women with intellectual disabilities in South Africa
Through in-depth interviews with service providers from non-governmental organisations (n = 58), this article describes the intricacy of familial relationships for women with intellectual disabilities in South Africa who experience gender-based violence. The findings suggest that families navigate social stigma, limited resources and isolation, whilst trying to be vigilant against gender-based violence and disability-related violence, and respond…
Invisible intersections
Of the range of disabilities, intellectual disabilities are often the most complex and least understood. The effects of the disability and related negative social attitudes and perceptions combine with the pernicious effects of sexism and misogyny, so that women with these kinds of disabilities are frequently and disproportionally subject to gender-based violence (GBV). This article explores the stigmatisation that renders women with intellectual…
The community versus community-based natural resource management
This article investigates the escalating violence directed by community members towards the Ndumo game reserve in South Africa, which has pitted residents against the reserve they are invested in as owners and managers. We argue that escalating tensions at Ndumo result from three distinct, but interrelated factors: (1) the local community's historical and present day feelings of loss of land, autonomy and “home” as a result of colonial and neolib…
Behind the screens
Domestic violence (DV) is one of the most pervasive forms of violence in South Africa with numerous physical and psychological consequences that have severe and enduring impacts on health. This takes a significant toll on women, their families and the health care system. Local and international literature suggests that DV is one of the most common reasons for women to present at health care facilities, placing health care practitioners in a uniqu…
