People can experience many challenges to enter the formal labour market, such as: 🛑 Discrimination based on class, sexual orientation or gender identity, ethnicity or migration status; 🛑 The disproportionate care burden placed on the shoulders of people with feminized identities’, who end up giving up hours of paid work. Cooperatives provide social and care support to workers in informal employment, including people excluded from social protection and formal economic structures.

An insightful read! As a woman who is still sharpening her gender lens and also exploring the urban health sphere, I've learned so much about how to create better, safer, and healthier cities for women and girls from this document! I also found this quote timely given the recent ban on e-trikes and e-bikes on main roads by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA): "Also, until the formal public transport network is extensive, efforts need to be made to support and improve informal systems, which often serve the needs of millions of urban residents." #WomensMonth #InternationalWomensDays

1️⃣ Mobility, gender, and care work 📢💜 In March, as we gear up for #InternationalWomensDay, we want to highlight that women are not a homogenous group and thus our transportation experiences are influenced by several intersecting factors such as age, income level, sexual identity, disability, and racial identity. Did you know that women's travel patterns often differ from men’s? One significant factor impacting women's travel patterns is the role of caregiving. Caregiving responsibilities lead to multiple, shorter trips throughout the day, often utilizing various modes of transportation for different purposes. How does your city address these needs? 🔎 Learn more about the characterization of women’s travel by checking out the program by our partners at the Latin American initiative Mujeres En Movimiento 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6RTvWNm and Safetipin’s “She Rises: A framework for caring cities”👉 https://lnkd.in/ejhqZ_Fh What are your experiences of care-related trips? Share them below! 🗣 #WomenMobilize #IWD2024 #Intersectionality

#Shared #Copy Are You a #CandidateWithDisability Running in the #Local or #EU #Elections in 2024? We are recruiting for research on your experiences of Political Candidature, Disability and Marginalization in the 2024 Local and EU Elections. We are interested in talking to those who identify as disabled and also experience another form of marginalization, such as women, those who identify as LGBT+, members of the Travelling Community, migrants, or those from an ethnic minority background and those who come from a low socio-economic background. For our research, we take a broad approach to disability, including people with physical/mobility impairments, people with intellectual disabilities, people who are blind or have low vision, d/Deaf people or people who are hard of hearing, people with chronic illness, neurodivergent people, and people with experience of mental health services. If you are someone or know someone who fits these criteria, contact Aoife Price at aoife.price@universityofgalway.ie. We hope that findings from our study will influence future research and policy developments, such as additional support for disabled candidates from multiple marginalized communities.

What’s your take? As a woman, it's important to me to promote women's issues. Creating an inclusive and equitable society requires challenging stereotypes and attitudes that silence women's voices. Let's work together to challenge harmful behaviors and promote a more accepting environment for all. Labeling these issues as "wokism”, “problematic", and blaming feminism as a whole is unhelpful. Let's all do our part to create a more just and equal world. #inclusion #equity #womensrights

🚨New research in Housing Policy Debate🚨 I find that transgender renters living in states with harsh gender marker ID laws had more difficulty accessing emergency rental assistance compared to those in states with more generous gender marker ID laws. I’m especially proud of this paper and hope housing policy advocates give it a read. Please reach out if you’d like the PDF! Paper linked here: https://lnkd.in/g5R3kHQV

Advocating for human rights is crucial in ensuring that everyone, especially marginalized communities in rural areas, can access their fundamental freedoms and entitlements. It's one of our objectives at Achievable Souls Community Support Initiative to bridge gaps and empower marginalized voices through various means: Raising awareness: Advocacy involves educating the public, policymakers, and key stakeholders about human rights issues and the need for change. This can be done through campaigns, media outreach, and grassroots mobilization. Lobbying and policy change: Advocates work to influence laws, policies, and regulations to align with human rights principles. This may involve engaging with government officials, participating in legislative processes, and collaborating with civil society organizations. Legal action: Advocacy can also involve pursuing legal remedies, such as filing lawsuits or petitions, to challenge human rights violations and hold perpetrators accountable. Empowering marginalized communities: Advocacy efforts often focus on amplifying the voices and experiences of marginalized groups, such as ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and persons with disabilities, who face disproportionate human rights challenges. Building coalitions and partnerships: Effective advocacy often involves collaborating with a diverse range of stakeholders, including other civil society organizations, international bodies, and human rights defenders, to create a unified and impactful movement. Successful advocacy for human rights can lead to significant and lasting change, such as the abolition of discriminatory laws, the implementation of protective policies, and the provision of essential services and resources for vulnerable populations. By continuously advocating for the protection and fulfillment of human rights, we can work towards a more just, equitable, and inclusive world. #HumanRightsadvocacy #legalaction #policychange #awareness

🗳️ This election season, let's talk about how we're channeling our energy! 🌟 Presidential elections can feel like a never-ending roller coaster of media frenzies, debate brackets, caucuses, conventions, and months-long campaigning. It's no wonder that it takes a toll on us. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, the 2020 presidential election was a significant source of stress for 68% of adults. 😱 But let's not forget the impact this stress has on marginalized communities. For them, it's not just about politics; it's about their rights and dignity being a matter of debate. Shockingly, 72% of LGBTQIA+ voters experience a negative mental and emotional impact due to current political discourse. 😔 As professionals, we must acknowledge and address these concerns. Let's come together to support one another, promote inclusivity, and create a safe space for discussions that matter. 🌈💼 #ElectionStress #LGBTQIA https://lnkd.in/gGSyVrcT
