Published: 22 September 2021

The internet increasingly enables people in Senegal to express their opinions and be part of democracy – this has become clear in digital initiatives such as Sunu 2012 or #FreeSenegal.

Foreword

Published: 14 September 2021

With this publication we want to make a contribution to a lively social debate. We want to present the causes of hunger and malnutrition and show that clear political rules and strategies are needed to counter these developments. We want to show that hunger and malnutrition are the consequences of injustice, instability and poverty – and that policies must therefore also address these underlying causes.

Published: 13 September 2021

Afghanistan forces digital-ethics reckoning

Published: 3 September 2021

The Taliban takeover in Kabul, the frantic evacuation efforts of foreign nationals and vulnerable Afghans, and the fear among those left behind of being targeted by the new regime are shining a spotlight on the double-edged nature of government data collection as well as digital communication tools in times of crisis.

In the name of the European Union: on the significance of words

Published: 31 August 2021

In recent days, there has been a lot of talk in the EU about an emerging “wave of refugees” or “migration disaster”.

Feminist perspectives on global environmental justice

Published: 21 March 2022

Environmental and climate crises are not gender neutral. They disproportionately affect people already facing multiple forms of discrimination. If feminist environmental policy is to extend beyond the effects on women, it needs to combine gender and ecological expertise. This dossier features a selection of the Heinrich Böll Foundation's contributions over recent decades to international debates on environmental and gender justice.

“2015 must never be allowed to happen again”: that is the mantra
