Contextos educativos, educación e identidades de género de adolescentes de una localidad rural maya en Yucatán (Revista Ibero-americana de Educação; vol. 89, núm. 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Silvia Montejo Murillo Corporate author: Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (OEI) El propósito de este artículo es comparar y explorar la identidad de género de mujeres adolescentes de una localidad rural maya, desde dos de sus contextos educativos: la escuela telesecundaria y la vida cotidiana en la comunidad. Se utilizaron entrevistas y observación participante para obtener los datos primarios cualitativos. Entre los principales hallazgos se destaca, que la estructura y rigidez institucional de la escuela, limita a las adolescentes poder actuar en ciertos momentos desde atributos sociales distintos a los que les ofrece su localidad. Asimismo, la escuela contribuyó a la individualización de las participantes y las formó para tener como representación deseable del “desarrollo” los valores del exterior, aspectos que no contribuyen necesariamente a la idea de “comunidad”.

Peru SDG Push Framework: Unlocking New Pathways to SDG Acceleration Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) SDG Push is about realizing development ambition and redefining how we build acceleration pathways. It helps pinpoint policy choices that ‘move the needle’ towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. A UNDP flagship initiative, SDG Push uses digital and data innovation, systems thinking, and futures approaches to provide a comprehensive and country-specific tool to plan and implement SDG breakthroughs in a variety of development contexts. SDG Acceleration Pathways, specific to context and need, were co-created in collaboration with Indonesia, Moldova, Namibia, Peru and South Africa. These pilots helped to refine the SDG Push approach and the digital SDG Push Diagnostic and formed the foundation of the Integrated SDG Insights Reports, presented at the 2023 SDG Summit. This integrated, modular approach includes the analysis of development trends and priorities with data visualization, integrating generative dialogue, foresight methods and economic modelling to assess the impact of potential accelerators. 
Global Kids Online: Comparative Report Year of publication: 2019 Author: Sonia Livingstone | Daniel Kardefelt-Winther | Marium Saeed Corporate author: UNICEF Innocenti The internet is often celebrated for its ability to aid children’s development. But it is simultaneously criticized for reducing children’s quality of life and exposing them to unknown and unprecedented dangers. There is considerable debate about when or how children’s rights – including the rights to expression, to privacy, to information, to play and to protection from harm, as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – may be realized or infringed in the digital age.With more children around the world going online every day, it is more important than ever to clarify how the internet can advance children’s opportunities in life while safeguarding them from harm or abuse. This requires evidence, from children themselves, that represents the diversity of children’s experiences at the national and global levels. By talking to children, we are better able to understand not only the barriers they face in accessing the internet, but also the opportunities they enjoy and the skills and competences they acquire by engaging in these activities.This allows us to enquire about children’s exposure to online risks and possible harms, and about the role of their parents as mediators and sources of support. In bringing children’s own voices and experiences to the centre of policy development, legislative reform and programme and service delivery, we hope the decisions made in these spheres will serve children’s best interests.
