‘Being part of a space made up of people of colour, led by people of colour’: Young people navigating institutional whiteness in the cultural sector
AbstractIn 2020, after George Floyd's murder and with the mobilisation of Black Lives Matter activism, many UK institutions announced social media pledges to tackle racism. The cultural sector promised honest conversations about race, racism and whiteness and offered hope for social justice. However, not long after claims of imminent change on the part of cultural organisations, it went quiet. Conversations about race, racism and whiteness, once again, were not a priority. Rightly, young activists question the performative nature of cultural institutions expressing anti-racist commitment and social justice values. Drawing ...

This article focuses on findings from research in two schools in Albania, particularly on what children and adult-supporters shared about their understanding of social and gender norms that perpetuate violence, and their recommendations for policy and practice to address them.

Gendering innocence: An empirical inquiry into the lived experience of gender incongruence in childhood
This article draws on evidence from interviews with 40 gender and sex variant young people and 30 caregivers of transgender children. Participants' accounts illustrate the deep psychic i nvestment in embodied gender incongruence that young people may manifest from the earliest years of childhood. They highlight the profound distress sometimes experienced by children denied external recognition of their internal (gendered) selves and required to conform to extraneous expectations inf ormed by essentialist understandings of biological sex. Far from ‘innocent’ of gender (difference), children can be deeply and actively in...

A gender ‐based violence prevention programme—Young people's participation and activism in Scotland

The programme aimed to address the pervasive issue of gender-based violence and empower young individuals to become agents of change within their communities. The implications of this study contribute to the broader discourse on gender-based violence prevention and the role of young people in effecti...

Young adult migrants' social experiences in Sweden: ‘Melting pot’ and ‘salad bowl’ perspectives on social integration
AbstractFramed within the social constructionist interpretive phenomenological approach, I explore the perceptions and social experiences of two Arab girls living in Sweden. A phenomenological interpretive analysis was used to examine the unstructured in-depth interviews. The research focuses on the migrants' perceptions of social integration framed as a ‘melting pot’ to a ‘salad bowl’ integration. The ‘melting pot’ is a metaphor for assimilationists' perspectives on integration which means melting down into a new identity while losing oneself. This was expressed as submission, drawing a line of ‘differences...

Re ‐thinking youth work as initial mental health support for young people
This article draws upon research uncovering to what extent youth workers provide mental health support for young people. A survey questionnaire was distributed to youth workers across selected local authorities in central Scotland and north-east England. Our original findings show that most youth workers provide initial mental health support for young people and, since the pandemic, this has become a key component of youth work practice. The youth workers surveyed were confident that they had the skills, experience and training to provide such support but were struggling to meet increased demand due to funding shortages in...

Navigating the rights of intersex children in Zimbabwe
AbstractDespite the seemingly progressive strides made in promoting the rights of children in many African countries, the rights of intersex children remain hidden. This paper explores the lived experiences of intersex children in Zimbabwe drawing from in-depth interviews conducted with intersex children aged between 8 and 16 years. The paper reveals a myriad of overlapping challenges faced by intersex children compounded by a lack of legal recognition and influence of cultural and religious discourses which threaten intersex children's sexual and reproductive health rights including their right to bodily autonomy and i...

Sexuality education for disabled children and youth in Ontario, Canada: Addressing epistemic injustice through school ‐based sexuality education
This article draws from Fricker's theory of epistemic injustice to describe some of the ethical questions that arise in the denial of disabled children and youth's access to sexuality education in school contexts. By engaging with relevant literature on sexuality education and disabled students in schooling, this article puts forward that the continual exclusion of disabled students from accessing school-based sexuality education promotes a form of epistemic injustice and silencing of the voices, perspectives and experiences of disabled students.
