Investigación en acciónNo relevant topicsLa igualdad de género, y cómo las personas la experimentan en hogares, organizaciones y comunidades, es el producto de la manera en que se diseñan, negocian e implementan los diferentes sistemas y estructuras sociales. En estos niveles, influir en el cambio positivo depende de las pruebas que trascienden la simple identificación de las desigualdades.

Refugee women face daunting healthcare needs
Refugee women face daunting healthcare needs
Ruth Nara’s work as a 2017 IDRC Research Award Recipient “reinforced my passion for improving the health of the most vulnerable populations, including displaced women and children,” she says. “I am more than encouraged to continue contributing to reducing the systemic inequalities that affect access to health.”
During field studies in Kampala and the Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Nara sought to understand the reproductive health needs of Congolese refugees in Uganda, including maternal health and delivery care, contraception, and abortion and post-abortion care.
She found that maternal healthcare was inadequate: human resources were insufficient, facilities were poor, and medications were not always available. Women faced long waits to get care, sometimes resorting to offering bribes for services. Many faced discrimination when accessing services, and language barriers compounded these problems.
Nara believes that her research findings will ultimately contribute to policies and programs to improve reproductive health rights and services for conflict-affected populations in Uganda. The fieldwork, she says, “reminded me that I was in the right place and I should continue to be in this space.”
Equally important, it brought home “that the women I spoke with in this study are people, just like you and me. They’re not just numbers, they’re not just subjects, but they’re living, breathing people who have their human potential and deserve support and respect of their human rights.”

Looking beyond the law on domestic violence
Looking beyond the law on domestic violence
It’s unusual to hear a lawyer say that “the law itself is not enough.” But that’s the conclusion 2016 Research Award recipient Gloria Song came to in her research on how Guyana implements its Domestic Violence Act. “You also need all the social support systems in place to deal with the issue as a whole,” she says. “That’s super uncomfortable for lawyers.”
Song selected Guyana for her research because “I’m really interested in looking at jurisdictions that are very sparsely populated,” she says. “I felt like Guyana had a lot more similarities to Nunavut, where I was practising before.”
Following a Master’s in Law degree, Song wanted “to see if I can transition into becoming a more research-based sort of practitioner. I can say I now have experience doing field research, doing qualitative research, setting up a major research project.”
At IDRC, Song also helped organize major conferences on access to justice and on family law, areas she’s “really interested in. I feel honoured that I was able to work on such important issues,” says Song. “I hope that I was as useful to IDRC as IDRC has been useful to me.”

Growing confidence, building skills
Growing confidence, building skills
For two-time Research Award recipient (2012 and 2014) Ahmed Rashid, his IDRC experience “gave me the confidence to conduct high quality research in social sciences.”
In 2012 Rashid explored the influence of think tanks on policy in Bangladesh, as well as their relationships with international donors and media. In 2014, he explored two-way student exchanges between Canadian and developing-country universities.
“My most memorable experience both times was going to the field,” he says. “As the awardee for the Think Tank Initiative, I traveled to Bangladesh and interviewed representatives from non-governmental organizations, think tanks, donors, and media. For the research on study-abroad programs, I talked to administrators, professors, and students in universities across Canada.”
Rashid found that flexible study-exchange programs with a longer history and clear expectations were the most successful. The opportunity for students to gain “experiences outside the classroom and to undertake collaborative activities with Southern counterparts” was critical and “helped deepen their understanding of issues,” he says. “These programs should be increased.”
Now a development analyst, Rashid considers that “working within the IDRC teams strengthened my program support and management competencies and prepared me for new and more challenging tasks and responsibilities.”

Curbing the sweet tooth of Bangladeshi children
Curbing the sweet tooth of Bangladeshi children
If Parnali Chowdury’s research is any indication, children in Bangladesh are not going to give up their sugary drinks easily. The 2016 IDRC Research Award recipient found that although children in grades 5 to 8 were increasingly aware of the negative effects of sugary drinks, “children in higher grades are prone to consume more.” Chowdhury’s study was the first to examine why urban Bangladeshi children consume so many sugary drinks.
Although she found no difference in drink consumption between boys and girls, she did observe that their consumption is influenced in different ways. Boys, she says, have pocket money, so they buy drinks at local shops or in school vending machines. Girls, “don’t get pocket money in Bangladesh.” Nor are they allowed to play outside on the streets, so “they end up watching more TV and are more influenced by advertisements.” The strongest motivator for both were promotional gifts with beverage purchases, says Chowdhury.
Her experience at IDRC “made me strong enough to pursue things that I really want to pursue,” she says. “Now I’m very confident that I will be pursuing the health and development area all through my life.”
