Research

 

The hub’s research investigates and analyses, on the one hand, women’s organising in empowering work, building constituencies for gender justice, changing narratives of sexuality, and how changes of wider dimensions taking place in the countries of the region have contributed to these struggles, and, on the other, how all of these struggles and processes have resonated in the individual pathways of different women towards empowerment.
