Is development work still so straight? Heteronormativity in the development sector over a decade on

Eleven years ago, I published an article in this journal detailing the ways that international development work was heteronormative, assuming heterosexual gender stereotyped household models and framing sexuality as a problem of ill-health or violence, rather than potentially pleasurable contributor to well-being. Over decade later, while sector is largely still LGBTI sexual pleasure have now made entry into discourses. However, they both been co-opted at least some degree reinforce other intersecting axes inequality. A more productive frame for addressing would be integrated rights politics approach.
