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 […]

Citizenship degraded: Indian women in a modern state and a pre-modern society

Keywords

Overview

Proverbial statements about women being second-class citizens are familiar in many societies. It is vitally important to challenge the many barriers to full citizenship that confront women, and barriers to women’s human rights in general. Development interventions must help to do this. The denial of equal citizenship to women is a phenomenon familiar in many […]

Promoting a gender-just peace: the roles of women teachers in peacebuilding and reconstruction

Keywords

Overview

From participation to power – Pacific approaches to women’s economic empowerment

Keywords

Overview

Pacific women’s unique economic experiences are under-represented in Pacific development initiatives. Economic empowerment initiatives typically focus on economic participation, without consideration for women’s household labour and the unequal social and economic dynamics within their homes and communities. Within the context of COVID-19, these inequalities have become more pronounced and the need to address them more […]

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 […]

Algerian women, citizenship, and the ‘Family Code’

Keywords

Overview

Women’s struggle for both equality and national liberation are crucial to democracy: if a democratic state is one in which citizens have the right to participate in society and the way it is governed, women must, automatically, be included in the equation. Yet in many so-called democratic states, women lack full citizenship. This article traces […]
