Reconceptualizing Vulnerability and Safeguarding in the Humanitarian and Development Sector
Abstract:Since 2018, "safeguarding" has been hailed as the answer to abuse, exploitation, and harassment in the humanitarian and development sector. However, safeguarding as a concept relies on conceptions of vulnerability, which are rarely critically interrogated. Bringing feminist, postcolonial, and critical disability studies to bear on what is conventionally viewed as an apolitical policy response, we argue that the need for safeguarding should be located within wider racialized, gendered, ableist, and geographic structures of power within which the sector is embedded. We conclude with theoretical reflections and directions for change centering intersectional and repoliticized conceptualizations of vulnerability and thus safeguarding.
期刊介绍:
Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
