The Gender Policy Report: Human Rights, Development & Security, and More
Today, we're writing to highlight a wonderful resource from the University of Minnesota: the Gender Policy Report. According to the report editors, the GPR "is a non-partisan, multi-disciplinary effort to produce and disseminate timely, gender-focused analyses of emerging U.S. federal policy proposals and developments." The report entries, typically authored by scholars, are evidence-based but written for the general audience. Recent posts provide insight into the Rainbow Wave by examining voting in Minnesota, and take a look at gender issues in the Midterms. A special section of the GPR focuses on human rights, development, and security, featuring a recent post on counting women and girls in development initiatives. Another GPR section focused on immigration has a recent post identifying gender violence as one driver of the immigrant caravan that has received so much play on the national stage.
The GPR is an impressive initiative to counter baseless "fake news" claims with real facts, and dig below the surface to get to the essence of the issues. Kudos to the editors and curators for this work!
