Part of the Inspirational Women Seminar Series
Gender, psychosocial wellbeing and skin NTDs: From lived experiences to multisectoral community action
Part of the Inspirational Women Seminar Series: Celebrating inspirational women and their contributions.
India Hotopf is a participatory health systems researcher whose work focuses on using implementation science to strengthen equitable, person-centred systems. In this seminar, she will share insights from her current PhD project exploring how skin NTDs affect people's psychosocial wellbeing, and how community and multisectoral systems can better respond. Drawing on intervention studies with persons affected in Liberia and Ghana, alongside evidence on community-based group models, the role of traditional and faith healers, and One Health approaches, the seminar will explore how stigma, violence and psychosocial wellbeing is shaped by intersecting social identities, with a focus on gender. Her research centres the experiences and perspectives of persons affected, asking not only how gender and other forms of inequality shape lived experiences, but also how community-based and multisectoral interventions can strengthen pathways to support, inclusion and person-centred care.
