  • A More Practical Guide to Incorporating Health Equity Domains in Implementation Determinant Frameworks Eva N
    Woodward et al. Implementation Science Communications (2021) 2:61 Implementation Science https://doi.org/10.1186/s43058-021-00146-5 Communications METHODOLOGY Open Access A more practical guide to incorporating health equity domains in implementation determinant frameworks Eva N. Woodward1,2* , Rajinder Sonia Singh2,3, Phiwinhlanhla Ndebele-Ngwenya4, Andrea Melgar Castillo5, Kelsey S. Dickson6 and JoAnn E. Kirchner2,7 Abstract Background: Due to striking disparities in the implementation of healthcare innovations, it is imperative that researchers and practitioners can meaningfully use implementation determinant frameworks to understand why disparities exist in access, receipt, use, quality, or outcomes of healthcare. Our prior work documented and piloted the first published adaptation of an existing implementation determinant framework with health equity domains to create the Health Equity Implementation Framework. We recommended integrating these three health equity domains to existing implementation determinant frameworks: (1) culturally relevant factors of recipients, (2) clinical encounter or patient-provider interaction, and (3) societal context (including but not limited to social determinants of health). This framework was developed for healthcare and clinical practice settings. Some implementation teams have begun using the Health Equity Implementation Framework in their evaluations and asked for more guidance. Methods: We completed a consensus process with our authorship team to clarify steps to incorporate a health equity lens into an implementation determinant framework. Results: We describe steps to integrate health equity domains into implementation determinant frameworks for implementation research and practice. For each step, we compiled examples or practical tools to assist implementation researchers and practitioners in applying those steps. For each domain, we compiled definitions with supporting literature, showcased an illustrative example, and suggested sample quantitative and qualitative measures.

  • Sexual Citizenship and Homonationalism at Tel Aviv's Gay
    Article Sexualities 0(0) 1–24 Being [in] the center: ! The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: Sexual citizenship and sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1363460716645807 homonationalism at sex.sagepub.com Tel Aviv’s Gay-Center Gilly Hartal Bar Ilan University, Israel Orna Sasson-Levy Bar Ilan University, Israel Abstract Tel Aviv’s Gay-Center is unique in Israel for being sponsored, managed and controlled by the municipality. This article focuses on the Gay-Center as a material, symbolic and discursive space in order to clarify the relationship between LGBT individuals and the nation. Based on an ethnographic study, we show that since its establishment the Gay- Center has undergone centralization processes as a result of being located in central Tel Aviv and by striving for LGBT mainstreaming, thereby accelerating the achievement of sexual citizenship and urban belonging. However, the expansion of sexual citizenship, which is always based on processes of inclusion and exclusion, reveals homonational practices and homonormative discourses. Since being in the city is the easiest and, at times, the only way to earn sexual citizenship, we argue that LGBT urban citizenship is an indication, a marker and thus a prerequisite of homonationalism. Keywords Homonationalism, LGBT in Israel, sexual citizenship, spatial politics, urban belonging Being [in] the center: Sexual citizenship and homonationalism at Tel Aviv’s Gay-Center1 In a demonstration protesting against the national-religious party’s (Habayit Hayehudi) veto of pro-lesbian,

  • 1316 Ngos Working on Diverse Human Rights Issues, from 174
    1316 NGOs working on diverse human rights issues, from 174 States and territories around the world call for the renewal of the mandate of the Independent Expert on violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity 41st session of the Human Rights Council Item 8. General Debate Oral Statement Speaker: Phylesha Brown – Acton Mr. President, I have the honour to deliver this statement that was endorsed by 1316 organisations working on diverse topics. Around the world, millions of people face human rights violations and abuses because of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). These abuses include: killings and extrajudicial executions; torture, rape and sexual violence; enforced disappearance; forced displacement; criminalization; arbitrary detentions; blackmail and extortion; police violence and harassment; bullying; stigmatization; hate speech; denial of one’s self defined gender identity; forced medical treatment, and/or forced sterilization; repression of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, religion or belief; attacks and restrictions on human rights defenders; denial of services and hampered access to justice; discrimination in all spheres of life including in employment, healthcare, housing, education and cultural traditions; and other multiple and intersecting forms of violence and discrimination. These grave and widespread violations take place in conflict and non-conflict situations, are perpetrated by State and non-State actors (including the victims’ families and communities) and impact all spheres of life. In 2016, this Human Rights Council took definitive action to systematically address these abuses, advance positive reforms and share best practices – through regular reporting, constructive dialogue and engagement – and created an Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).
