Fragmented feminisms: women’s organisations and citizenship in ‘transition’ in Poland

Keywords

Overview

Both governments and international donors now increasingly recognise women’s organisations as key actors in the promotion of women’s rights, democracy, and citizenship. Yet they remain, on the whole, poorly equipped for this role. The precarious, under-funded, and short-term existence of most women’s organisations does not equate with a flourishing civil society. If women’s organisations are […]

Keywords

Overview

Proverbial statements about women being second-class citizens are familiar in many societies.

Securing the fruits of their labours: the effect of the crisis on women farm workers in Peru’s Ica valley

Keywords

Overview

Despite immediate promises of economic recovery by some Latin American governments, women in some regions of the continent are feeling the aftermath of the crisis deeply. This is because of both the interconnectedness of their regions to the export market, and pre-existing economic policies and social factors, including gender inequality that strengthens inequalities. These factors […]

Yet in many so-called democratic states, women lack full citizenship. This article traces […]
