Menstrual health as a public concern in Ghana: A conceptual review of symbolic and structural ownership
Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science. 2026. Vol. 90. P. 204–211.
Helen Selorm Wohoyie, Anikin V. A.
Menstrual health serves as a critical litmus test for state intervention in contexts where women’s bodily experiences are historically shaped by stigma, cultural taboos, and structural violence. Drawing on Joseph Gusfield’s theory of social problems, this review traces the moral passage of menstruation in Ghana (1992–2025) from a privately managed, stigmatized phenomenon to a matter of public responsibility.

Malaria control in Malawi relies primarily on long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), but transmission remains heterogeneous across districts. Previous research indicates that community-based environmental management strategies, such as routine drainage maintenance, vegetation removal, and effective household waste disposal, may reduce environmental conditions conducive to malaria vector proliferation. This study investigated the ...

While gender disparities in STEM are well-documented, comparatively little attention has been given to the micro-level interactional processes through which gender inequalities are reproduced, negotiated, and occasionally challenged, particularly in non-Western educational settings. Drawing on semi-structured interviews ...

Со времен обретения странами Африки независимости проблема сецессии остается для них в ряду наиболее острых. Оставшиеся после ухода колонизаторов государственные границы во многом оказались искусственными, что впоследствии превратило Африку в один из самых нестабильных континентов. Обретение государственного суверенитета поначалу подталкивало африканцев к обсуждению вопроса о пересмотре границ, однако опасения по поводу еще большего нагнетания межгосударственных ...
