"In Northern Nigeria where child marriage is pervasive girls are at risk of "obstetric fistula". If a girl becomes pregnant before her pelvis is fully developed then labour may be obstructed. The baby's head presses against the birth canal for hours or perhaps even days cutting off blood supply. When the tissue dies a hole forms between the bladder and vagina. In the aftermath she continuously leaks urine - for the rest of her life. The smell usually means stigma and divorce. Nigeria registers about [-----] cases per year. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022839698247627080"

"Democracy and liberties are usually regarded as a "good thing" especially for women. But here's a pattern that many find uncomfortable: From Indonesia's Reformasi to the Arab Spring to Uzbekistan's opening to Bangladesh's transition that opening has consistently enabled Islamists to campaign amass strength and push for gender segregration. Economists usually maintain that Bangladeshs garment industry contributed to rising female employment. But were these effects contingent Would Bangladesh have still seen rising female employment if it had previously been more democratic and not suppressed"

"Every single evolutionary successful society has stigmatised barren women while glorifying motherhood. But before modern medicine motherhood was incredibly dangerous - mothers died.

"@DinaPomeranz @MJerven @kopalo Hi Dina icymi I'd recommend @MJerven's brilliant book It engages with the large macro-econ literature mainly in 80s & 90s that emphasised Africa's low levels of growth (e.g. Collier). Really awesome careful nuanced analysis of data & econ theory. 👌 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Africa-Economists-Wrong-African-Arguments/dp/1783601329/ref=sr_1_1ie=UTF8&qid=1523102085&sr=8-1&keywords=morten+jerven https://www.amazon.co.uk/Africa-Economists-Wrong-African-Arguments/dp/1783601329/ref=sr_1_1ie=UTF8&qid=1523102085&sr=8-1&keywords=morten+jerven"
