Rather than countries coming together at the United Nations to make progress, a vocal minority are actively trying to undermine gender equality through the UN.

The African continent is currently witnessing the creation of the largest regional free trade area in the world. The African Continental Free Trade Area represents a significant milestone in Africa's socio-economic development. However, this development is also significant in another respect: A recently adopted special Protocol on Women and Youth in Trade has the potential to blaze the trail for gender-transformative intra-African trade. The protocol thus confirms a general trend in international economic law to acknowledge and address the gendered nature of trade.

The role that judges have played, and can play, in enhancing gender justice at the the International Criminal Court (ICC) is underexamined. By applying a feminist judgment method to the ICC we can shed light on the possibilities for more gender-inclusive international justice.

Despite global efforts, the realisation of gender parity remains challenging. Although the UK has made progress, concerns remain about the representation of women in leadership positions and the impact of flexible working arrangements on their career progression.

ROAPE celebrates the life and work of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, who turned 85 in January this year. To mark the occasion, we share an extract on Ngũgĩ's early novel A Grain of Wheat (1967), adapted from Sarah Jilani's forthcoming book Subjectivity and Decolonisation in the Post-Independence Novel and Film. Jilani explores Anglophone and Francophone post-independence texts (1950s–1980s) from Africa and South Asia to consider what 'decolonising the mind' could mean, and entail. Guided by the thought of Frantz Fanon, the book demonstrates how a selection of literary and cinematic narratives from this period help us understand the transformation of subjectivities themselves as a part of the broader, unfinished project that is decolonisation.
