In a German-Tanzanian project for public and reproductive health, she worked in the fields of women’s rights, youth and family health programs.[2]
As Regional Director for North Africa for the South-South cooperation programme Partners in Population and Development, supported by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in Dhaka, Bangladesh, xxx was responsible for managing technical co-operation projects and building local capacity for the improvement of women’s rights and health services in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco from 1998 to 1999.[2]

During this period, she edited a series of guidelines about the integration of Gender policies in development programmes focusing on reproductive health, economic and environmental policies.[3]
In an article about the reforms of the Moroccan family law for the German weekly Die Zeit, xxx was quoted talking about the illustrated book La Moudawana autrement ("The Family Law, in a different way") that her organization had published in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Family Affairs. This book aimed to present the legal texts of the new family law, in Arabic Moudawana, through short texts in Arabic and French, along with ironic caricatures of traditional gender-specific attitudes in Moroccan society.[4] As examples, she named some of the commonly held prejudices by Moroccan men, and how her project was trying to spread correct information about such issues as the payment of alimony or the rights to take care of a divorced couple’s children.[5]

Among her other responsibilities in the world’s biggest UN peacekeeping mission, she advocated for gender equality standards for public media in DRC that were published by Radio Okapi, the United Nations country-wide broadcasting station.[9]

As Head of the Gender Section of the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, xxx managed projects highlighting the creative potential of women, such as Jazz Women in Africa, part of the organization's contribution to International Jazz Day on 30 April 2021.[10] Further, she collaborated on several publications, including ... [11] and managed the multi-media project Creative Resilience: Art by Women in Science.[12]
Presentations as keynote speaker
[edit]On occasion of the 22 August 2021 UNESCO Global Summit on COVID-19 Impacts and the Role of Women in the post-pandemic Era at Amrita University in India, xxx presented UNESCO’s goals towards more and sustainable impacts for transformative gender equality, in particular benefitting women’s and girls’ lives.[13]
On 7 March 2022, xxx participated as a keynote speaker in an online conference titled “Femina Vox, Making Women's Voices Heard”. Leading up to International Women’s Day. This event was organised by the French NGO Femina Vox, UNESCO and Sorbonne University.[14]
Reception
[edit]In 2007, the German periodical Information for Political Education reported about her illustrated book La Moudawana autrement ("The Family Law, in a different way") as an example of German-Moroccan activities promoting the reformed family law in Morocco.[15]
A book she edited in 2011, titled ‘’Mending Inequalities. Men and Gender Equality in the OSCE Region’’ was chosen as assigned reading for a course in 2014 on “Masculinities and Men’s Studies in Eastern Europe” by sociologist Tamara Martsenyuk, at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder, Germany. This and several of her other publications have been cited in scholarly publications.[16] [17][18][19]
In an October 2020 study published by the Atlantic Council about the future goals of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security (WPS), her paper “Women, Peace, and Security: What it Takes to Achieve Relevant Impacts” was quoted for her call that “NATO should focus on improving cooperation between its civilian and its military bodies, and it should increase accountability mechanisms through expanded use of gender markers, scorecards, and other such mechanisms.”[20]
