Empowering Women in Tanzania -A Comparative Study of the Communication of twoWomen’s Rights Organizations

Strömstedt, Malin, Åkerman, Saga January 2019 (has links)
This thesis aims to study how two organizations communicate to empower women in Tanzania. It is a comparative study of the New Hope for Girls Organization (NHGO) and Young Women Christian Association (YWCA). Furthermore, this study focus on how different contextual factors, such as the size of the organization, religion and values, affect the organizations´ content and strategy of their communication. This study is based on a theoretical framework of previous research about communication from NGOs, Development theory and African feminisms. The empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews, ethnographic interviews and observations. The result of this study shows that YMCA is highly influenced by its international ties through its international founders and world-wide connection, while NHGO is mainly influenced by the local community in which it operates.

The Need for Play and Creativity in Children’s Rehabilitation Process: a Field Study in the Philippines

Lekman Hansen, Camilla, Pedersen, Lena January 2009 (has links)
De förhållanden som många filippinska barn lever under stämmer inte överens med de rättigheter de har under barnkonventionen. Extrem fattigdom och utbredd korruption gör att människor lever under svåra livsförhållanden och de värst utsatta är barnen. Den filippinska staten varken respekterar, skyddar eller uppfyller dess skyldigheter under internationell lag. Därför måste andra aktörer, som olika NGOs, ta på sig ansvaret för att barnens behov ska bli uppfyllda. Många barn från försummande och utnyttjande situationer är i behov av rehabilitering.Denna uppsats är baserad på en fältstudie med fokus på det arbete som två NGOs på Filippinerna utför för att ge barn tillbaka deras förlorade barndom. Syftet är att väcka uppmärksamhet kring de behov som barn har för deras utveckling och välbefinnande, speciellt behovet av lek och kreativitet, två behov som tenderar att komma i skymundan i arbetet för barnets bästa. / The situation of children in the Philippines is not in accordance with the rights stipulated under the CRC. The extreme poverty and widespread corruption in the country creates an abusive and neglectful environment for people, with children being the most severely affected. The Philippine state does not appear to respect, protect and fulfil its obligations under international law. Other agents, such as NGOs therefore assume responsibility to fulfil the needs of children. Many children are maltreated and in need of rehabilitation.This thesis is based on a field study focusing on the work performed by two NGOs in the Philippines that help children renew their lost childhood. The aim is to draw attention to the needs the child has in their development and wellbeing, especially the need for play and creativity. Two needs that tend to get overlooked in the assessment of the best interest of the child.

Q : A closer look at groups and technology in queuing / Q : En närmare titt på grupper och teknologi i köande

Eriksson, Anders January 2004 (has links)
This thesis is the result of a project done on the subject of queuing, looking mainly at the behavior of the people doing it and relating it to the context they are in. The focus is on the notion that queues are not only made up of individuals but also groups, a notion that has previously been overlooked in studies of queues. This thesis is based on ethnographic studies and is strongly related to design of technology for supporting queuing situations. The main focus in the design is on supporting groups, flexibility and mobility in queues. / Den här D-uppsatsen är ett resultat av ett projekt inom köande. Efter fältstudier analyseras här hur köande är uppbyggt och tittar främst närmare på gruppbildningar inom köande, ett område som är väldigt outforskat. Uppsatsen är starkt ritad mot design av ny teknik för att stödja olika kösituationer och den presenterar även ett designförslag gjort av författaren. / To contact the author you can send an email to: anders.eriksson@tgk.net
