Ce dossier présente les résultats combinés de l'évaluation de base au Népal et au Bangladesh sur les cinq normes sociales sur lesquelles se concentre la programmation du Tipping Point. Les résultats des données sur les normes sociales suggèrent que dès que les filles atteignent la puberté, elles sont soumises à des normes plus restrictives et que leur propre sensibilité aux sanctions des familles et des membres de la communauté les amène à respecter ces normes dans leur comportement. Il existe certains signes de flexibilité dans les normes répressives qui limitent la vie et les options des filles, notamment en ce qui concerne la flexibilité dans les interactions, la mobilité et la décision de se marier pour les filles en milieu scolaire ou pour poursuivre des études. Toutefois, les menaces perçues à l'encontre de la virginité ou de la réputation de "chasteté" des filles qui affectent leur capacité à se marier constituent un facteur d'incitation au mariage des enfants. Cependant, les filles ont montré qu'elles avaient confiance en elles pour se réunir dans un but commun. L'initiative "Point de basculement" cherche à exploiter cette confiance pour engager les filles dans la construction d'un mouvement visant à revendiquer leurs droits tout en facilitant un environnement favorable à des normes de plus en plus positives et un réseau d'alliés pour faire évoluer les normes néfastes et restrictives.
In 2022, more than 735 million people in the world were hungry. That’s 1 in 11 people worldwide. Relative improvements after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic are masking rapidly growing inequality. There are 84.2 million more women and girls than men and boys facing food insecurity. The gender food gap grew in many regions, including most of Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East North America, and Europe. CARE’s analysis of data across 113 countries suggests that improving GDP is not enough. The most recent data shows that in situations with high inequality, economic growth can lead to higher food insecurity, especially since COVID-19. In 57 countries, GDP is growing AND food insecurity is rising. As gender and income inequality rise, so does hunger. Read More
This report examines local knowledge integration in the context of global development and humanitarian aid work. It builds upon a recently published report by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) called Integrating Local Knowledge in Development Programming. That report sought to “share knowledge of how development donors and implementing organizations leverage local knowledge to inform programming. This study aims to extend the original methods to better understand grassroots actors’ own interpretations of local knowledge and its integration into programming in their communities. It examines the perspectives of 29 grassroots leaders from women-led organizations around the world, looking deeply at the ways in which they conceptualize local knowledge and local knowledge stakeholders, their approaches to designing their own projects based on local knowledge, and their experiences sharing knowledge with international actors and donors. This builds the broader evidence base on integrating local knowledge to incorporate the perspectives of grassroots actors into the same conversation as the original study. Read More
