At the 14^th DiGENet Network Event, "DiGENet Dialogue on gender, global health & global south", Prof. Jaya Dantas reflected on her international work with refugee and migrant women, highlighting participatory research in post-conflict regions, including Uganda, Rwanda, and Australia. Her projects—from photovoice studies to community midwifery—emphasize empowerment and health equity tailored to diverse social contexts. Prof. Simone Diniz discussed reproductive justice in Latin America, drawing attention to unequal access to contraception, abortion, and respectful maternal care. She stressed the political nature of health indicators and the need for data that captures structural disparities and power imbalances.
