“A little love is enough for me to live my life…”
Most research on sex workers globally has focused on cis women sex workers vulnerabilities including violence, risk for HIV/AIDS, and stigma. Despite the plethora of studies on the topic, older sex workers are significantly underrepresented in research. We used a phenomenological approach to highlight street and home-based sex workers' experiences. Using a purposive sampling strategy, 39 cis women sex workers were recruited from Karnataka, India …
Towards a Feminist Global Health Policy
In the realm of global health policy, the intricacies of power dynamics and intersectionality have become increasingly evident. Structurally embedded power hierarchies constitute a significant concern in achieving health for all and demand transformational change. Adopting intersectional feminist approaches potentially mitigates health inequities through more inclusive and responsive health policies. While feminist approaches to foreign and devel…

What’s technology got to do with it? Exploring the impact of mobile phones on female sex workers’ lives and livelihood in India
Technology has brought about substantial changes to the landscape of sex work globally. However, few studies have captured the holistic impact of mobile phones on the lives of female sex workers (FSWs) in India. In this exploratory study, 67 FSWs and 18 staff and leaders from local non-governmental organizations participated in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Respondents strongly emphasized the innumerable ways in which mobile ph…

This article argues that the NAM, and its engagement with women, has the historical and strategic potential to be the…
Unfolding Women's Engagement with Development and the UN
This article reveals how the engagement of women with development ideas and approaches within the orbit of the United Nations challenged mainstream views and programmes, and reclaimed agency—that is, the power to define the agenda. Through description and analysis of six decades of this engagement, it comes to the conclusion that all three groups of actors—that is, women as represented by the international women's movement; those involved in deve…
