INTERSECTIONALITY TOOLBOX

If you are interested in intersectionality, which emphasizes that identities are not singular but interact within existing power structures such as patriarchy, ableism, and racism, this guide and toolbox (published in 2022) goes beyond simply adding identity categories to provide a structural analysis of social inequalities. 

It explains 

- eight intersectionality enablers (1. Reflexivity, 2. Dignity, Choice and autonomy, 3. Accessibility and universal design, 4. Diverse knowledges, 5. Intersecting identities, 6. Relational power, 7. Time and space, and 8. Transformative and rights-based), 

- a framework for practical action (built on Analyze, Adapt, and Assess), 

- as well as detailed tools to be used in practical settings (TOOL 1: Power Flower – exploring your identity and privilege; TOOL 2: Key considerations for creating safe spaces; TOOL 3: Intersectionality context analysis; and TOOL 4: Analysis to adaptation).

Data Quality in Emergencies: Field-Level Challenges and Mitigation Strategies

Image
In emergency response, the quality of our data and reporting plays a critical role in how we plan, allocate resources, and respond to people in urgent need. High-quality data helps ensure our actions are informed, timely, and equitable. However, when data collection methodologies are weak or inconsistent, the consequences can be significant: - Data may not be valid, leading to unreliable conclusions. - Assessments may be inaccurate or unnecessarily repeated. - Accessible areas are often oversampled, while harder-to-reach communities are left out. - Vulnerable groups risk being excluded. - Programs may rely on assumptions rather than actual evidence. To support field teams and strengthen MEARL practices in these complex environments, I developed a contextualized resource that outlines key challenges and practical mitigation strategies for rapid needs assessments in conflict-affected emergencies. While grounded in the Myanmar context, I believe the insights are relevant across many hum...

True Inclusion

Image
Inclusion requires intentional efforts to remove barriers and provide meaningful support. Without these measures, superficial approaches can inadvertently impose a "double burden" on marginalized groups, compounding their challenges rather than alleviating them.
