OGIP is a intersectional feminist organisation aiming to increase the voices of diverse young people on peace, security and conflict. The OGIP blog is a space for diverse content on diverse topics.
We are currently seeking contributions for the Blog on the impact of COVID-19 on young people living and working in conflict affected contexts. COVID-19 is already directly impacting lives across the world, in differing, complex, and gendered ways. It is becoming clear that this global health pandemic will impact the lives of youth and women well beyond its immediate effect. We are looking for blogs to explore the following topics within the framework of peace, security and conflict:
The realities of women and young people living in this pandemic (lockdown, frontline workers, refugees, IDPs)
Gender and security in global health crises
COVID-19, economic impacts and conflict
Global health crises and human security
Humanitarian response to COVID-19
Youth and women’s participation in responses to COVID-19
Gender based violence and COVID-19
Mental health and COVID-19
Impact on education and insecurity
Governance,democracy and COVID-19
Impact of COVID-19 in the long term and the potential for change
We are also open to receiving proposals on other topics that you feel are important in relation COVID-19, peace, security, and conflict.
OGIP aims to publish work by contributors with geographical, methodological, theoretical and stylistic diversity and we prioritize youth voices.(1) The OGIP blog is a space for contributions of various mediums including but not limited to poetry, academic research, artwork, policy analysis, podcasts, photography and vlogs.
The working language of OGIP is English, however, we strongly encourage contributors to also produce their research in other languages. Submission and drafting will be in English and the contributor will then be asked to translate into an additional language if they are able and wish to do so.(2)
The process of contributing
The first step is to submit a summary of what you want to contribute and additional information on this online form, so OGIP can get an idea of the type of work you would like to produce.
You will then hear from a member of the OGIP team on the outcome of your submission. Following this you will work with the OGIP editorial team to set a timeline for the submission of your contribution. OGIP will always be flexible to find a timeline for submission and editing that suits you.Once finalised your work will be published on the OGIP blog and promoted through OGIP’s social media platforms.
If you have any questions about the process please do get in touch with the team on OGIPResearch@gmail.com
(1) OGIP is working with the definition of youth as under the age of 35, however, extending that binary definition based on contextual realities and national youth policy directives to acknowledge the flexibility of the concept.
(2) We acknowledge that this puts the burden of the labour of translation on the contributors, however, limited access to funding at this time precludes OGIP’s ability to cover expenses for translation.
