New article makes valuable contribution to the literature on women in politics by accentuating the resilience of women in a context where electoral dynamics undermine participation and make access to the political space a privilege.

Sir Sidney Portier, an eagle on the iroko, has flown. He was one of the most pleasant human beings I have ever met. Will always treasure memories of our encounter.

'Unheard Daughters' celebrates human resilience and inner strength. It creates space for the excluded, marginalised and silenced to have a voice, be validated, seen and heard.
A short video of Unheard Daughters, our project with Boko Haram survivors in Maiduguri and Mubi (Nigeria)- video produced by Arathi Suresh from School of Performance and Cultural Industries, Leeds. These women are amazing! https://t.co/FedlOF0zva
