New publication: Intersectionality Matters

Intersectionality matters. An analysis of women’s empowerment among livestock holders in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda

This new paper focuses on the intersection between gender and caste in Nepal, and gender and ethnicity in Senegal and Uganda.

Through the use of focus group discussions, the authors found important differences in the gender distribution of livestock-related roles by caste or ethnic groups and in the conceptualization of women’s empowerment.

The authors provide recommendations for improving future intersectional analyses employing WELI and mixed-method approaches.
