- [Gendered Frontlines: Men, Women, and the Politics of Protection in the Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2026](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-j8rx-rcxn-saxu) — This thesis argues that dominant narratives of female victimhood and male agency obscure the real gender architecture of the Russia-Ukraine war — from the male-predominant pattern of sexual violence in detention to women's exclusion from peace talks — all flowing from a single protection order that the Women, Peace and Security agenda is failing to address.
- [Analysing GII and GNI trends in Bangladesh (2002-2022)](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-9sqp-5unp-tqmn) — Between 2002 and 2022, Bangladesh saw its GNI per capita surge over 550% while its Gender Inequality Index improved by 31.5%. However, short-term fluctuations show no correlation; rapid economic booms didn't trigger immediate leaps in social equality, proving these metrics can move independently despite overall positive long-term trends.
- [Gender, Intersectionality, and Development:  Violence, Climate Change, and the Limits of Nonintersectional Analysis](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-bdvf-gcc8-p8ta) — Traditional development models often rely on a binary "men vs. women" lens, yet this simplicity can be dangerous. In crisis zones like Ukraine or on the frontlines of climate change, a one-size-fits-all approach risks leaving the most vulnerable behind. This paper explores why intersectionality is not just a theory, but a survival necessity.
