TRANSFORM News Magazine
September 2024 | Issue 1
Welcome to the first issue of our TRANSFORM News Magazine and the beginning of a brand new transnational project focusing on engaging with young people to disrupt gender norms. Awarded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, our partnership draws together more than 40 co-investigators and collaborators, 16 universities (involving 19 centres, labs, studios, and institutes), 10 partner organizations and hundreds of young people including those at field sites in Africa (Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa), Latin America (Argentina, Mexico), and South Asia (India).
Gender inequalities and discrimination persist glaringly around the globe with gender-based violence standing out as one of the most widespread human rights violations. And as the world鈥檚 largest youth population ever, young people are key players in local and transnational work to address gender equality. This need for urgent action is driving TRANSFORM: Engaging with Young People for Social Change. TRANSFORM aims to support youth-led interventions to study how young people experience, envision, and enact gender transformation, using a variety of art forms (photography, film making and cellphilming, performance art, and textile production).
