This study explores the potential for diversifying Maheshwari fabric into contemporary formalwear, addressing the growing demand for sustainable and heritage-based textiles in modern fashion. The research focuses on developing …
Symbolic Interpretation of Animal and Hunting Scene Motifs in Persian Carpets from the Safavid Period
Animal and hunting motifs in Safavid carpets (1501-1736) served as complex symbolic systems that communicated religious, political, literary, and cultural significances concurrently. During the early Safavid period (about 1520–1620), religious symbols were very important. For example, in Sufi mysticism, the Simurgh represented the Universal Essence, while dragons symbolized evil. Their fight showed the eternal struggle between good and evil. Poli…
Health service responses and help-seeking for women experiencing violence during outbreaks in low- and middle-income settings
During outbreaks women struggle to access essential health services, including services for violence. Services may be disrupted or deprioritised, or women may avoid clinical settings. We conducted a scoping review to understand how health services for violence against women (VAW) were affected in low- and middle-income (LMIC) settings during recent outbreaks, and how women sought help following violence. We reviewed published academic literature …
Exploring influence and knowledge on family planning among internally displaced men
Our research emphasises the importance of buy-in from community leaders, FP activities that reach across communities (including those in hard-to-reach areas), engagement with children and youth and engagement with faith leaders. We suggest peer-to-peer activities and radio as promising modalities to engage these groups
Bidesia as cultural production
This dissertation focuses on the girmit indenture migration experience through the “old diaspora” lens and presents a feminist critique on the crucial role played by Bhojpuri women as emigrants, primary caregivers, and culture agents, in forming Indian diasporic identity and reproducing Bidesia folk culture in Mauritius. The study uses a combination of archival and ethnographic methods and relies on data obtained from Bhojpuri-speaking villages i…
Design Intervention and Branding
Bagh printing, a centuries-old hand block printing tradition from Madhya Pradesh, is renowned for its intricate geometric and floral motifs, natural dyeing techniques, and cultural symbolism.

By integrating the applied geospatial m…
Mother’s maladies
Motherhood, a familiar yet complex phenomenon, is informed by many factors whose consequences for women are often detrimental yet undermined. Particularly in India, discourse surrounding mothers' health often disregards the social and familial expectations and impositions that threaten women's authority over their own bodies. Amidst this, postpartum disorders, particularly the concept of postpartum psychosis, embody the anomalies of medical and s…
The standard is the standard
Memory and tradition of the Bhojpuri diaspora
Phagwa symbolises the triumph of good over evil. The celebrating spirit of Phagwa and carnivalesque imagery draw on the mischievous and playful spirit which mocks authority, subverts power relationships, and creates a new world. This carnivalesque setting of Phagwa serves as a metaphor where people from different cultural groups join the religious procession to show solidarity. The Phagwa carnival is characterised by the spirit of possibilities, …

Determinants and prevalence of zero-dose children in Somalia
Despite global progress in childhood vaccination coverage, fragile and humanitarian countries, with high burden of infectious diseases, continue to report a significant number of zero-dose and under-vaccinated children. Efforts to equitably reach zero-dose children remain thus critical. This study assesses the prevalence and determinants of zero-dose children in fragile context of Somalia. We used secondary data from 2020 Somali Health and Demogr…
Decision-making for childhood vaccination in crisis settings
The WHO Framework should be provided in more languages, and vaccination actors at local and national level should be engaged to improve its practicality and increase awareness of its aims. In order to reach zero-dose children, vaccines must be made available for use in expanded age groups, which is sometimes not currently feasible within the Gavi/UNICEF procurement system. Clarifying this policy would allow relevant organisations to reach more ze…

The role of gender inclusive leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic to support vulnerable populations in conflict settings
The real heroines in the fight against COVID-19 are women'.1 Significant attention has been given to women political leaders in highincome settings, where it has been reported that women have led several countries' effective national responses to COVID-19.2 However, little attention has been given to the role of women as leaders and decision makers in conflict settings. In conflict settings, COVID-19 is a multidimensional and existential crisis f…
Covid-19 in humanitarian settings
Humanitarian organizations have developed innovative and context specific interventions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as guidance has been normative in nature and most are not humanitarian specific. In April 2020, three universities developed a COVID-19 humanitarian-specific website ( www.covid19humanitarian.com ) to allow humanitarians from the field to upload their experiences or be interviewed by academics to share their creative respon…
Responding to health needs of women, children and adolescents within Syria during conflict
The case of Syria provides a unique perspective on creative ways of managing the humanitarian response and delivering RMNCAH&N interventions, mainly in the multi-hub structure and use of remote management, despite encountered challenges.

How to do (or not to do)…using causal loop diagrams for health system research in low and middle-income settings
Causal loop diagrams (CLDs) are a systems thinking method that can be used to visualize and unpack complex health system behaviour. They can be employed prospectively or retrospectively to identify the mechanisms and consequences of policies or interventions designed to strengthen health systems and inform discussion with policymakers and stakeholders on actions that may alleviate sub-optimal outcomes. Whilst the use of CLDs in health systems res…
Zooming in and out
Research is needed to understand why some countries succeed in greater improvements in maternal, late foetal and newborn health (MNH) and reducing mortality than others. Pathways towards these health outcomes operate at many levels, making it difficult to understand which factors contribute most to these health improvements. Conceptual frameworks provide a cognitive means of rendering order to these factors and how they interrelate to positively …
A mixed methods study to assess the impact of Covid-19 on maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition in fragile and conflict-affected settings
COVID-19 is further exacerbating negative women's and children's health outcomes in FCAS.
