Disinformation, social inequalities and young people’s digital citizenship during conflict and crisis in Ethiopia
This article explores how gender, rural – urban and regional inequalities in youth digital citizenship shape political participation during conflict. Drawing on multiple rounds of longitudinal qualitative research with young people in Ethiopia during and after the 2020–2022 ethnic conflict in the north, we show that key facets of digital citizenship – including access to online information, digital literacy skills, and opportunities for offline v…
Strengthening interventions to support the sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing of young women involved in sex work amid conflict and distress migration in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Amid growing global recognition of the importance of young people's sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing, an intervention to support peer-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for young women involved in sex work in Ethiopia was implemented in 2020. Since 2018, conflict has driven an upsurge in distress migration by young women to some intervention sites. OBJECTIVE: This article explores the experiences of young women …
Researching Social Protection With Diverse Young People in Crisis Contexts
Research focusing on humanitarian crises is vital for informing the design and targeting of humanitarian relief and social protection, particularly as both the nature of emergencies and the types of programming that are needed will evolve over time. This is particularly the case for social protection programming aimed at adolescents and young people, who encounter emergencies at a point in the life course characterised by rapid physical and socia…
Formal and informal integration in contexts of displacement
A vast number of young refugees are formally excluded from basic civil, political, and social rights in the countries where they have lived for many years, with little prospect of safe return to (and citizenship in) the places their families fled. While development policies frame youth civic participation as key to creating inclusive futures, frameworks like the Global Compact on Refugees focus on labour market integration, without reference to y…
Rurality, gender and schooling aspirations in modernising Ethiopia
In this article, we explore adolescent girls’ endeavours to acquire an educated identity and become ‘Sew’ while living in low-income, rural Ethiopia. Analytically, we situate girls’ own understandings of their well-documented educational marginalisation in relation to the broader social and economic dimensions of their lives, drawing on ongoing qualitative research since 2008. Our emphasis on the ‘everyday’ of girls’ endeavours responds to the ca…
Coping mechanisms and “homemaking” in the face of environmental challenges
‘They Say it was Her Fault… This is Not True!’ Using Vignettes With Adolescent Girls to Collectively Address Norms About Sexual Violence
This article discusses the piloting of vignette research tools within focus group discussions involving 34 adolescent girls aged 15–19 in Rwanda. The purpose of the research was to elucidate norms around sexual violence. Through a ‘collective capabilities’ lens, which focuses on ways to move beyond change at the individual level towards empowerment processes that benefit all girls, we reflect on the opportunities this methodological tool offers f…
Had I been a girl it would have been a big problem
Adolescents with disabilities in Jordan, and particularly girls, are marginalized within their household, often isolated from their peers and communities, at greater risk of violence, and have limited access to opportunities for education, work, and agency. This paper focuses on intersectionality-informed participatory and qualitative research. Through two case studies we explore the ways that gender, disability, and refugee status intersect to p…
Covid-19 and social policy in contexts of existing inequality
This article explores the social policy implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for adolescents and young people with disabilities in Ethiopia and Jordan. The article draws on qualitative research interviews carried out in person between November and December 2019 and by phone between April and June 2020 with 65 young people with hearing, visual and physical impairments in urban settings in both countries, complemented by interviews with key inform…
Covid-19, state (in)visibility and structural violence in low- and middle-income countries
The socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 on adolescents and youth in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who have migrated for work, are among the urban poor, or have been forcibly displaced is not well understood. To address this knowledge gap, this article draws on in-depth qualitative interviews undertaken between April and July 2020 with 249 adolescent girls and boys and 24 community key informants in Bangladesh and Ethiopia. These two cou…
The Rhetoric and Reality of Localisation
When refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO implementing partners. In parallel is a largely neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to provide protection and assistance to other refugees. At a global level, there has been a shift in international policy rhetoric towards ‘localisation’ and inclusion of refugees, which potentially provides an o…
No One Left Behind
This article describes the mixed-methods approach used by the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) research programme. It discusses how qualitative and quantitative methods can be used both in isolation and combined to learn about the lives of adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on the methodological and ethical approaches used to reach socially marginalised adolescents (including adolescents with disabilit…
Intersectionality as a Framework for Understanding Adolescent Vulnerabilities in Low and Middle Income Countries
Given increasing policy attention to the consequences of youth marginalisation for development processes, engaging with the experiences of socially marginalised adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (including those who are out of school, refugees, married, with disabilities or adolescent parents) is a pressing priority. To understand how these disadvantages—and adolescents’ abilities to respond to them—intersect to shape opportunities …
I Wish Someone Would Ask Me Questions’
The Sustainable Development Goals and the Leave No One Behind agenda involve a commitment to ensure the participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of family and community life. This article explores the experiences of Palestinian and Syrian refugee adolescents with disabilities in Jordan in two domains of life: access to education, and their capacity to exercise voice and agency. The findings show that disability intersects with ci…
Intersecting barriers to adolescents’ educational access during Covid-19
This article explores the social determinants of adolescents' access to education during the COVID-19 pandemic in three diverse urban contexts in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Jordan. It provides novel empirical data from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence longitudinal study, drawing on phone surveys (4441), qualitative interviews with adolescents aged 12-19 years (500), and key informant interviews conducted between April and October 2020. F…
Our World Is Shaking Because of Corona
Our article explores how intersecting crises, sociocultural norms around gender, age, household and community and broader political and economic shifts are affecting youth transitions. We draw on qualitative virtual research with 138 young people in Ethiopia and Jordan undertaken between April and August 2020. COVID-19 is exacerbating ongoing crises and gender inequalities in Ethiopia and Jordan and foreclosing opportunities for youth transitions…
UNHCR and LGBTI refugees in Kenya
This paper problematises the framing and implementation of protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) refugees in Kenya by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Despite increased international attention being paid to them, the extant literature focuses on asylum-seeking at Western borders; there is a dearth of scholarship on LGBTI refugees' experiences in first countries of asylum in the Global South. Building on…
Ensuring no voices are left behind
The Global Governed
When refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO implementing partners. In camps and cities, the dominant humanitarian model remains premised upon a provider-beneficiary relationship. In parallel to this model, however, is a largely neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to create organisations or networks as alternative providers of social prote…
Intersecting inequalities, gender and adolescent health in Ethiopia
Background Until recently, global public health initiatives have tended to overlook the ways that social factors shape adolescent health, and particularly how these dynamics affect the specific needs of adolescents in relation to information about puberty, menstruation and sexual health. This article draws on mixed methods data from rural and urban areas of Ethiopia to explore how access to health information and resources - and subsequently heal…
Relationality, religion and resistance
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in rural Tanzania, this paper shows that teenage girls' opportunities for sexual agency are shaped through assemblages of normative girlhood and appropriate sexuality. Whilst girls themselves negotiate and resist the disempowering affects of such assemblages, as shown through vignettes which illustrate the experiences of three girls who were involved in the education project where fieldwork took place, their capa…
Power, Participation, and ‘peer researchers’
Driven by efforts to recognize the agency of refugees and thus the importance of their participation in research about their lives, refugees are increasingly being engaged to work as collaborators and assistants during research in refugee camps and settlements. Yet whilst academic research attends to the ethics of research with refugees, existing guidance fails to recognize or attempt to mitigate the specific ways in which refugees working as res…

Challenging Power Dynamics and Eliciting Marginalized Adolescent Voices Through Qualitative Methods
Eliciting adolescents' voices through qualitative research necessitates research methods which challenge the power dynamics that marginalize young people and thus inhibit them from sharing their perspectives. In lower- and middle-income countries where younger adolescents in particular are often discouraged from expressing their voices, this is especially important. Methodological tools which are adaptable, interesting and create space within the…
School, sexuality and problematic girlhoods
This paper draws on ethnographic research with teenage schoolgirls in Tanzania to explore the impact of education on their experiences of sexual agency and empowerment. School-based education is frequently presented within international development as a route for empowering girls to exercise agency over their sexuality; yet school itself often constitutes a space in which the same restrictive gendered and sexual norms that exist outside the class…

Girlhood, participation and empowerment in Tanzania
In this paper I reflect upon encounters with ‘young people’s participation’ during ethnographic research on girlhood and sexual agency with teenage girls in Tanzania. I argue that methodology which centralises participants’ experiences is particularly important in research on issues related to sex and sexuality, where young people’s voices are often disregarded or downplayed. However, such an approach might run up against a number of practical ch…
