Creative Research and Policy Outputs
In my policy work, I have traded in traditional text-heavy reports for something a bit more fun: yes! comic books. Because who says policy needs to be all dry and serious? Through creative, visual storytelling, I have found that tackling complex issues like women's economic rights, gender responsive public services and social justice, is much more engaging when it's in the form of dynamic characters and plot twists.
These comics aren't just for fun; they are a creative way to make policy digestible and relatable. After all, if you can explain systemic change through a visual journey, why wouldn’t you? My books have been translated and adapted across the world in different languages and are used as essential training resources
Stand Up for Inclusive Public Services
This illustrated guide on Gender-Responsive Public Services (GRPS) sets out how women and girls’ rights are impacted when public services are poor quality, privatised or cut, particularly in situations such as the current intersecting crises – inequality, climate, health, education, conflict and debt – alongside the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes impacts as a result of the policies of International Financial Institutions (IFIs), such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.
