    The ‘doing’ and ‘undoing’ of male household decision-making and economic authority in Rwanda and its implications for gender transformative programming

    This paper explores two key norms that can underpin intimate partner violence (IPV) in Rwanda: men’s role as economic provider and decision-making authority in the household. It describes the political, legal and socio-economic factors affecting these norms and how they create opportunities and barriers to ‘undoing’ restrictive gender norms. The findings are drawn from an evaluation of Inadshyikirwa, an IPV prevention programme operating in Rwanda. Across 3 intervention sectors, 24 focus groups were conducted with unmarried and married men and women residing in intervention communities. 30 interviews with couples and 9 interviews with opinion leaders were conducted before they completed programme trainings designed to shift gender norms underlying IPV. The data indicates a strong awareness of and accountability to Rwandan laws and policies supporting women’s economic empowerment and decision-making, yet also persisting traditional notions of men as household heads and primary breadwinners. Transgression of these norms could be accommodated in some circumstances, especially those involving economic necessity. The data also identified an increasing recognition of the value of a more equitable partnership model. This paper highlights the importance of carefully assessing cracks in the existing gender order that can be exploited to support gender equality and non-violence

    I. Chromium(III)-catalyzed carbometalation of alkynes. Transition metal-catalyzed methods to manipulate unfunctionalized, unsaturated carbon bonds provide access to compounds otherwise difficult to synthesize by standard organic chemistry methods. In this work the generation of substituted alkenes from alkynes in the presence of cationic chromium(III) complexes is explored.* II. Chromium(III)-catalyzed synthesis of allenes. Interest in allenes as biologically active compounds and as chiral transfer reagents has driven the development of general methods for their synthesis. Many syntheses of allenes have been reported; however, few are able to achieve their synthesis with high functional group tolerance and in high enantiomeric excess. Efforts to expand the current methods for the synthesis of allenes are presented herein. Specifically, the syn-carbometalation/ syn-elimination of propargylic substrates via chromium(III) catalysis to produce allenes is reported.* III. Palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to synthesize ene-allenes. A second method to synthesize allenes is presented. In particular, ene-allenes possessing various functional groups are synthesized in good yields from propargylic carbonates through a Suzuki Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Additionally, chiral non-racemic ene-allenes are produced with moderate to high enantiomeric excess from propargylic phosphates.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams
