Women’s fear of violence restricts their movement, limiting their use of public spaces, their movement from their homes and as a result, their full enjoyment of a range of human rights. Conducted in Brazil, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia and Nepal, this study comes at a time of significant global change. In 2008, the world reached a momentous milestone: for the first time in history, more than half of its human population – 3.3 billion people – ived in urban areas. By 2010, the global urban population outnumbered the rural population with 3.56 billion (51.5% of the global population) living in urban areas.A. GhatakC. Abrahamhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/440670http://www.search4dev.nl/record/440670This book provides insights into what gender inclusive citizenship means as a practice, what can be achieved when it is promoted and what role participatory action research can play. It shares the experiences of women in local communities devising ways to exercise their citizenship.A. ImamE. Kammingahttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/437614http://www.search4dev.nl/record/437614This report presents the results of a study that NCDO conducted on the opinion of the Dutch population on four current worldwide problems: the conflict in Syria, rising food prices, the Greek debt crisis, and climate change.E. Boonstoppelhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/436827http://www.search4dev.nl/record/436827Dutch essayist Bas Heijne has written a new Think Piece for the Future Calling programme, in which he argues that the domains of development aid, arts, culture and the environment, together with the great twentieth century emancipation movements, make up the pillars of what he calls 'postwar humanism'. This type of humanism, characterized by its keywords 'sympathy' and 'empathy', is subject to poignant attacks from the tax payer: "Why should we pay for others, while we themselves are increasingly abused and neglected?" It is emotions like this, that lead Heijne to argue that in fact we witness a social strife, in which the administrative elite finds itself under fire.B. Heijnehttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/428880http://www.search4dev.nl/record/428880PROBLEM: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Sexual Violence (SV) are a public health concern and a violation of human rights. It is estimated that worldwide 13-71% of women will suffer from SV or IPV at least once during their life time. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) roughly 2 million women are affected. Consequences of violence include physical injuries, emotional trauma and indirect consequences such as loss of productivity. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: This thesis identifies the main contributing factors to IPV and SV in PNG with special attention to the Highlands region through a literature review. The ecological model was used as analytical framework to organize contributing factors and best practices to prevent IPV and SV. Data from one Family Support Center (integrated model approach) illustrate some of the findings. FINDINGS: For the PNG context child abuse, alcohol, marital discordance, payment of bride price, peer pressure, break down of communities parenting practices, gender norms and the acceptability of violence all contribute to violence. Valuable interventions are parenting classes to decrease harsh punishment of children and empowering strategies for women to address power inequalities within relationships. A community participatory approach that engages men is most effective for interventions at community and societal level. Survivor care is important and not widely available. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The causes of IPV and SV are complex. Participatory approaches have better results and gender transformative programs are more effective than gender informative projects at the same time care for victims should not be forgotten. Survivor care should not take place in isolation but link to community participatory approaches. Interventions should be evaluated to increase knowledge of what works in PNG. The Department of community development has an important role for developing an overall strategy to address IPV and SV. Finally, more information is needed on the prevalence of IPV and SV to better understand the burden of disease they represent.M.

This factsheet discusses worldwide population growth and its consequences.NCDOhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/422857http://www.search4dev.nl/record/422857The focus of this dossier is on the history, current practice and future plans of human remains at museums and specifically at the Tropenmuseum. Recent research by the Tropenmuseum into their own collection resulted in an expert meeting and a publication on this subject. The publication: 'Physical anthropology reconsidered - Human remains at the Tropenmuseum', and this dossier want to contribute to the international debate on this complicated issue.A. Hardon (edt)http://www.search4dev.nl/record/419288http://www.search4dev.nl/record/419288The KCRD has published a report (in Dutch) on the policy dialogue ‘Fragile States and Religion', a gathering in 2009 of the then minister of Development Cooperation Bert Koenders and NGO-members of the Knowledge Forum Religion and Development Policy (a liaison between Dutch NGOs and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In this policy dialogue the role of religion in development practices in fragile states was discussed. The dialogue was preceded by several preliminary meetings and an international conference. This report provides an overview of the policy dialogue including the preparatory trajectory and the follow-up.M. van Meerkerkhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/419286http://www.search4dev.nl/record/419286This research report addresses the roles and responsibilities of faith-based educational institutions (FBEIs) in processes of conflict transformation in fragile states. It builds on insights from academic literature and an examination of expertise and policy among the members of ICCO Alliance, a coalition of Dutch, Christian development organisations. This study outlines both the achievements and the challenges that characterise the efforts of FBEIs in (post‐)conflict settings. In addition, the report offers incentives for reflection and discussion, as well as openings for further research into the relationships between education, religion, and conflict transformation.E. van Ommeringhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/419285http://www.search4dev.nl/record/419285Ton Groeneweg (Mensen met een Missie, KCRD member) held a lecture on the Weak Vilification of Religion in Development Discourse, on the conference Religions and their Despisers, organised by the Dutch Society of Religious Studies on November 4-5 2011. He adapted this to an article.T. Groeneweg
