Premi ex aequo al millor TFM en gènere del bienni 2019-2020 ; Treball de Fi de Màster: Master in European and Global Law. Curs 2020-2021 ; Tutora: Silvia Morgades Gil ; This paper is an effort to discuss the concept of gender-based persecution and the normative framework at the International, European and Spanish levels. My starting point is that International Refugee Law has been androcentric since its establishment. This is the reason why the first thought that comes to our mind when we think about a refugee is a man fleeing his country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for political opinions. And it is also the reason that gender-based persecution is not specifically covered in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Fortunately, the International Community, better late than never, became aware of the particular experiences of refugee women. But the incorporation of gender-based persecution has been weak and has not taken into account the needs and experiences of refugees and asylum-seeking women. My main conclusion is that a recognition of gender-based persecution as an autonomous ground must be seek.

Cities in Action focuses on the planning of cities. The book first discusses the planning of cities wherein planning is considered as a protective device that influences orderly procedure and cooperation among citizens. Accessibility is seen as an influential factor in the rise and distribution of cities. The text underscores that along with the rise of cities is the establishment of sidewalks, malls, parks, and shopping centers. Zoning and land use are also important in the planning of cities. These factors help in identifying the structures that should be built or established in a particular

The lack of attention towards issues of governance in both global sport-for-development (SfD) policy and academic literature is placed in stark relief when compared to the significance accorded to such issues in international development. This article addresses this lacuna in sport-for-development by drawing on international development literature as well as interview data from representatives of international agencies, domestic governments and in-country non-governmental organisations involved with sport-for-development in Ghana and Tanzania. As previously recognised in other development sectors, the commonality of narrow, project-based approaches in sport-for-development contributes to excessive donor influence, fragmentation, competition and limits both impact and sustainability. It was in response to similar problems that, from the mid-1990s, Sector-Wide Approaches were instigated within specific sectors in particular countries as a more systematic model of development governance based on leadership by the domestic government and co-ordination among donors and other stakeholders. Although interviewees' perspectives and some exemplar sport-for-development initiatives aligned with key features of Sector-Wide Approaches, significant challenges to their effective instigation in sport-for-development can be identified. Nevertheless, examining the applicability of Sector-Wide Approaches to sport-for-development raises important issues that require further consideration and demonstrates the necessity that sport-for-development, more generally, learns from the longer-established field of international development.
