In 2008, the #UN launched the "UNITE to End Violence against Women" campaign. Every year, within the framework of this campaign, 16-day actions against gender-based violence continue to be held in different countries of the world. As #Kitabistan, we join the campaign launched by the UN and we start the "Gender Kitabistan" project. Within this project, Kitabistan team will conduct interviews and research in order to raise awareness of gender-based violence and discrimination. The first guest of the #GenderKitabistan project is Diana Pierce, the founder and former director of the Center for Women's Welfare at the #University of #Washington, who worked as a visiting scholar at #Stanford University and American University.
Prof. Pearce is an academician who has devoted more than 30 years of her life to research on topics such as women's well-being, the impact of poverty and economic inequality on women's lives, and she also coined the phrase “the feminization of poverty”.
We introduce to our readers the exclusive interview with Prof. Diana Pierce.
