“…There are gendered differences in social networks for men and women in Fiji. Often, women's social networks are based around women's groups or are informal, created through shared experience of caring, cooking, cleaning and subsistence activities, whereas men's are formed during their after-work kava sessions ( Adventist Development and Relief Agency et al, 2021) or as a result of their role as community leaders (Chattier, 2012).…”

This policy report highlights the disparate impacts of extreme weather events on men and women in Fiji. It emphasizes the need to consider gender differences in education, employment, income, and household relations when designing strategies and disaster risk financing initiatives to improve the financial preparedness against climate shocks in Fiji. Additionally, the report explores variations in financial instrument usage, gender-differentiated post-disaster coping mechanisms and demonstrates the correlation between extreme weather events and gender-based violence.

“…When there are restrictions to land ownership, it places limitations on the ability of women to have the independence to make decisions and develop into an economically autonomous individual. Thus, it continues to prevent women from alleviating gender inequities and obtaining independent livelihood resources (Chattier 2012).…”

The primary purpose of this paper is to recognise the essential factors that contribute to women farmer involvement in training events which, was used to determine significant independent variables for the five provinces of Central Division Fiji adding to 120 women farmers. The sampling was done in concern with any form of training provided in the agricultural, animal and crop sector alike. Considering the independent variables used to indicate the significant contributing factors influencing women participation in training, Marital status, age, tertiary education, extension services, access to market and the size of owned land played active roles. More interestingly, the variables that played insignificant influencers were the number of family members in the farmer household and the reason for farming. A logit analysis was used to display the results of significant and insignificant determining variables. Thus, the overall understanding of these variables through this study carried out in Fiji can lead to better decision making in regards to training programmes for women farmers and consequently producing positive agricultural development in Fiji which can become an efficient tool for agricultural ministry. Moreover, better agricultural policies for women farmers can be adopted based on their determinants to agricultural involvement.

This article examines the impacts of urban change on the wellbeing of women and men, and girls and boys living in cities, and explores how gender intersects with other social relations to differentiate these impacts. It then considers the implications of intersectionality for organizations aiming to promote the interests of specific social groups (such as women or people with disabilities) vis à vis urban change by looking at the experience of Leonard Cheshire's Asha project, which works with girls and boys with disabilities in Mumbai. It concludes that organizations working to promote the interests of identity-based constituents should both base their strategies around research that recognizes the instersectional nature of social identities and also develop agendas for change that build platforms for social justice that unite, rather than fragment, identity-based claims.
