This study investigated the integration of water and sanitation facilities' programs for menstruation management with a focus on university planning and budgeting processes at Kyambogo University. The study employed qualitative methods of data collection and analysis from students and members of the university's top management. Findings revealed that there is limited engagement of female and male students in the budgeting and planning of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by the estates department; more so, the generic budget does not adequately cover all the requirements for menstruation management by female students, and female students perceive water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management as generally available but inaccessible and unacceptable in various ways. Thus, the study generates knowledge about the status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management to enable female students to participate in academic activities in higher education institutions by recommending that the Directorate of Planning and Development at Kyambogo University should promote a participatory and gender‐equity inclusive plan and budget that ensures that water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management become an integral aspect in planning and budgeting processes of the estates department. The university should equitably improve the current status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by providing specific water in toilet rooms including changing rooms, replacement of broken doors to provide privacy, and other required facilities to enhance effective menstruation management.

By taking into consideration films as a method of dissemination of knowledge, the article examines the relationship between epistemic change, an understanding of epistemic injustice, and the prior epistemic convictions of characters, as well as everyday resistance, in the film Chhapaak, translated as Splash, an Indian Hindi‐language biographical drama film that portrays the life of Laxmi Agarwal, a survivor of an acid attack. The first section of the article contextualizes the story of the film through the trajectories of acid attacks in India. This is followed by discussions on epistemic injustice and collective wrongdoing through the lived realities of acid attack victims and survivors as depicted in the film. The article also highlights how these individuals exhibit everyday resistance and strive to bring about transformation in society. The article concludes with discussions on the epistemic, socio‐cultural, and hermeneutical responsibilities of people that can make society a safe place for all, especially girls and women in India. The article concludes by examining the epistemic, socio‐cultural, and hermeneutical responsibilities that individuals must undertake in order to create a secure environment for all members of society, with a particular focus on girls and women in India.

In this intervention, we present preliminary results from field work conducted in six municipalities of Honduras as part of a research project that explores climate change perceptions and the intention to migrate, with a gender perspective. The main goal of the research is to understand to which extent the ways in which people perceive the effects of climate change upon their daily life may urge some more than others to actively start the process of international migration. The project is a mixed method study combining questionnaires and focus groups. In this briefing, we concentrate on the analysis of the focus groups to explain the descriptive results of some of the variables.

To explore the role of pilot tests in developing gender policies, this study investigates their use of policy‐making for the introduction of male midwives in the United Kingdom. A literature review was performed, and data that contradicted the statements of researchers studying male midwives or male midwives who had participated in the pilots were excluded. Any uncertainties were clarified through consultation with nursing and midwifery associations. The United Kingdom's Midwives Act 1902 initially restricted midwifery to women. However, the Sex Discrimination Act 1973 debates led to the consideration of introducing male midwives. While professional associations resisted, public bodies supported it, on the condition that it guaranteed women's right to select the gender of their attendant midwives. The government decided to conduct pilots to assess the acceptability of male midwives and the financial implications of having chaperones with male midwives. Despite pressure from the European Commission, the decision to permit male midwives across the United Kingdom, made in 1984, was withheld until the results of the pilots were available. However, substantive gender equality issues, such as the working conditions for male midwives, remain largely unexplored. To ensure gender inclusivity in midwifery, scientific pilot tests focusing on both formative and substantive equality are recommended.

Every human has the right to live with respect and dignity, and no one should be discriminated against based on their gender or sexual preferences. Transgender people feel and live as the opposite gender compared to the one assigned at birth. Transgender people face problems in schools, workplaces, public places, accommodations, and healthcare services and are sometimes mocked. Present review briefs on issues faced by Transgenders, problems, and their rights. Literature from 2005 till March 2023 was searched from various organizations and peer‐reviewed journals through PubMed, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS databases using search terms Transgender Persons, Gender nonconforming, Discrimination against Transgender, Right to Health for Transgender, and Laws for Transgender. A total of 55 articles focused on Transgender and their issues were included for analysis. Transgender people have identity issues. It is not a stigma to be ashamed of. On the contrary, they should be appreciated for coming forward and accepting that they are not comfortable with the gender assigned to them. They should be supported in every way to lead a better life. Attempts should be made to stop their harassment, humiliation, and discrimination from using basic needs services and the right to healthcare.
每个人都有权在尊重和尊严中生活，任何人都不应因其性别或性取向而受到歧视。跨性别者的感觉和生活方式与出生时的性别完全相反。跨性别者在学校、工作场所、公共场所、住宿和医疗服务中都面临着问题，有时还会受到嘲笑。现就跨性别者所面临的问题、问题和他们的权利提出审查简报。从2005年到2023年3月的文献通过PubMed, Google Scholar和SCOPUS数据库从不同组织和同行评审期刊中检索，检索词为Transgender Persons, Gender nonconforming, Discrimination against Transgender, Right to Health for Transgender, and Laws for Transgender。共有55篇关于跨性别者及其问题的文章被纳入分析。变性人有身份问题。这不是一种可耻的耻辱。相反，应该感谢他们站出来，接受他们对被分配的性别感到不舒服的事实。应该在各方面支持他们过上更好的生活。应努力停止骚扰、羞辱和歧视她们使用基本需求服务和获得保健的权利。

The lasting educational and economic impacts of COVID‐19 have disproportionally disadvantaged girls on the fringes of society, extending beyond the period of imposed lockdowns. This study delves deeper into the education, socio‐economic, and gender‐specific effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic within the context of Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The research illuminates how the pandemic has influenced economic activities and the roles of teachers, parents, and students in the educational process. Furthermore, the paper examines the efficacy of distance learning across diverse media in SSA. The findings suggest that children from rural settings might have limited resources to adapt and continue their education during school closures. Marginalized girls are substantially more likely than their male counterparts to leave school altogether due to these closures, placing girls and women at a heightened risk of experiencing the most severe outcomes of the pandemic. Female education has been notably disrupted due to the rise in child labor, violence, and pregnancies amidst the pandemic.
