November 22, 2019 By Amanda King
In September and October, the Maternal Health Initiative grabbed the No. 1 spot as Nazra Amin took a look into one of the world’s largest brothels in the village of Daulatdia, Bangladesh. She examined the legality of sex work in Bangladesh, maternal mortality, and barriers to health services among sex workers.
Readers were also fascinated by the environment as both a tool for peace and a weapon of terror. In the second most read post, Marisa O. Ensor offers gender-sensitive environmental peacebuilding strategies as a possible answer to South Sudan’s conflict a year after South Sudan’s leadership signed a new peace agreement. Scott Somers in the third most read post argues that the wall between natural disasters and terrorism is breaking down, and explains how climate change is being leveraged as a tool for terror and political violence.
In other top posts, Sydnee Logan and Ann LoLordo argue that in order to achieve universal health coverage, nurses and midwives must be seen as a source of primary care. And Zachary Q. McCarty and Elizabeth L. Chalecki wrote that international political boundaries are arbitrary creations. To better assure future water security, they argue that international borders need to be redrawn to conform to hydrological basin boundaries.
