Women & Usability of Mobile Financial Services in Indiagrameenfoundation
These studies aim to understand how mobile phone technology and its usability is impacting poor women’s ability to access and benefit from mobile financial services. Many players assume that if a poor person owns a mobile phone, they are able to use it. We have found that this is a faulty assumption, and believe that usability and “mobile phone literacy” are big issues that are preventing poor women in particular to benefit from mobile-enabled solutions.

[ver 3] LGBTQ+ Research on Vietnam Culture x Coming out .pdfphuonganhnguyen0173
The presentation I made on my research “The effects of cultural beliefs on the process of "coming out" of Same-sex attracted individuals in Hanoi”, was presented at the Student Scientific Conference of the Faculty of International Studies 2021-2022
These slides are from Dr Simon Duffy's keynote and workshop at the National Advocacy Conference in Birmingham, 13th October 2016. He explores the challenge for advocates in an age of austerity and asks whether we need to ask deeper questions about the role of advocacy in advancing citizenship for all.
In the above presentation, one of our changemakers Shubham Choudhary talks about the LGBTQAI+ community in India, understanding various genders and how transgenders are struggling to make ends meet in the present pandemic situation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

LGBT callers need help from a younger age.
About half of those calling #4 are between ages 10-29.
11. What we found out from the callers:
Many LGBT people suffer:
1)Child abuse at home
2)Sexual, gender and moral harassment: at
work and in the community:
3)Gender discrimination in society
4)Physical, sexual violence
5)Intimate partner violence
But LGBT people had nowhere to turn to in
times of trouble or personal crisis.
12. What we found out:
At rape crisis centers and consultation
phones, many LGBTs suffered “second injury”
They were told…
“Your voice doesn’t sound female”,
“We don’t accept men”
“You are crazy or joking”
“Sorry, your partner is not a man” (you aren’t
married so we can’t help.)”
“We don’t understand your problem.”
13. LGBT Handbook for phone counselors
Many LGBT people who call
counselling are discouraged by
the counsellor’s heterosexual/
mono-gender bias.
Last year, we issued a handbook
any phone counsellor can use in
LGBT support to reduce
unmeaning hetero-bias, and
become more LGBT-friendly. 共生ネット監修・編集

14. Throwing out old myths
MYTH: Humans are either male or female
=> Biologically: Not always true, Socially Not true
Not everyone is mono-gender; some are bi-or multigendered, others have no gender.
MYTH: Men should be manly, women should be
womanly
=> Gender identity is fluid(at least for some). Does not
always have to match biological gender.
14
15. Basis for X gender coding
• ICAO ~ International Civil Aviation
Organisation (under UN) with 191 member
countries set the gender verification code at
« M F X» in 194 7 .
• All immigration offices of all member
countries can read three gender codes,
M/F/X, in all passports.
• Australia, New Zealand, among others issue
X gender passports to those who need it.
15
16. Basis for accepting women in
same-sex relationships
In 2007, a Regional Court issued
a Protection order for a samesex couple (both legally female)
saying the relationship was no
different from a married couple.
- Their gender identity is
unknown. Don’t forget,
couples come in all genders
and sexualities
16
17. The biggest Social Problem:
Practice of Gender and Sexuality-policing
Often violent myths and strict “social policing” on
Gender and Sexuality cause Social Exclusion
and Violence.
Gender-policing practices: “Men should be manly,
women should be womanly !”
Sexuality-policing practices : “Mating is allowed as
long as it’s the opposite sex” (No matter what age,
how violent, even if without consent)
=> These notions give license to bullying,
harassment and social exclusion.
18. What we found out:
LGBT people have nowhere to turn to in
times of trouble or personal crisis
=> High suicidal rate
60~70% of LGBTs considered suicide
as an option, compared to 20% in youth.
Accepting LGBTs is an urgent issue
about “health” not “morality”.
19. For a universal gender design
We need to amplify the
dichotomous gender framework
and
redesign the gender system
to make it more universal
〜 Design gives form and makes us
conscious of the unconscious. 〜
20. What shelters can do
Private women’s shelters are
already making efforts to
make shelters more universal
by learning about LGBT issues.
21. What shelters can do
Women’s Shelters are beginning to :
-Conduct staff training on LGBT issues
-Encourage LGBT-friendly staff to (come out and)
become trainers.
-Create a safe environment for users to talk about
sexuality without judgment.
-Set aside a room for X gender and other individual
needs (hypersensitivity, etc.)
- Put up a sign saying “This shelter is
LGBT-friendly”.
22. Basis of LGBT support
<LGBT issues are urgent health issues>
But issues on sexual orientation, gender
identity and gender expression are difficult to
bring up in casual conversation.
No one to consult =>
“Just like leftovers long-forgotten in
the fridge”
=> Too scary to open !
23. Basics of LGBT support
No one to consult => “ Just like leftovers
long-forgotten in the fridge”
=> Too scary to open !
You can offer support and care by:
- Being there for disclosure with an open mind.
- Offer warmth and understanding.
- Create an LGBT-friendly environment around you
There is nothing special.
Same as with any sexual assault victim, and
anyone hurt in daily life.
24. Basics of LGBT support
No one speaks out on LGBT needs
⇒A forgotten & neglected population
You can offer social support by:
- Sticking in LGBT’s social needs in your petitions for
the betterment of women.
- Set aside a small budget for LGBT support training
so you can collaborate with local LGBT froups.
- Create an LGBT-friendly environment at your
workplace and home.
This is nothing special. A good way to treat
anyone forgotten in daily life.
