Quoted at the Pulpit: Male Rhetoric and Female Authority in Fifty Years of General Conference

ROLE, FUNCTIONING AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN PANCHAYAT MEMBERS IN PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTION

The national perspective Plan for women had argued that political power and access to decision making authority are critical requisition for women's equality in the process of nation building. Women participation in both Gram Sabha and Ward Sabha had not been effective. They participated less in number and most of the time remained passive. Considering their educational background and political experience most of the women members needed training regarding objectives of Panchayati Raj System, skills of planning, information on Governmental programmes and articulation skills which may help to increase their efficiency in panchayat administration. The study was done to study the knowledge of women panchayat members about the functions of Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) and to study the achievements made by the women members for the development of their village. This study was conducted in Udaipur district of Rajasthan state, on a sample of 30 panchayat members from 13 different villages through personal interview technique using the schedule. Results shows that majority of the respondents (90.00 %) were newcomers and the reason behind joining panchayat was family/ relatives and husband's pressure. 56.66 percent respondents consulted or consult male panchayat as well as family members. Only 40 per cent of the women were not satisfied with their participation in the panchayat. Cent per cent respondents had a clear concept of ward-sabha and knew the procedure of electing panchayat members. About 2/3rd have knowledge regarding the various functions of panchayat. Now women are coming forward and showing enthusiasm and interest to do something for development of their area. They are doing construction works and establishing community assets.

Gender inequality, women's empowerment, and adolescent birth rates in 363 Latin American cities

BackgroundGender inequality is high in Latin America (LA). Empowering girls and young women and reducing gender gaps has been proposed as a pathway to reduce adolescent pregnancy. We investigated the associations of urban measures of women's empowerment and gender inequality with adolescent birth rates (ABR) in 366 Latin American cities in nine countries. MethodsWe created a gender inequality index (GII) and three Women Achievement scores reflecting domains of women's empowerment (employment, education, and health care access) using censuses, surveys, and political participation data at city and sub-city levels. We used 3-level negative binomial models (sub-city-city-countries) to assess the association between the GII and scores, with ABR while accounting for other city and sub-city characteristics. ResultsWe found within country heterogeneity in gender inequality and women's empowerment measures. The ABR was 4% higher for each 1 standard deviation (1-SD) higher GII (RR 1.04; 95%CI 1.01,1.06), 8% lower for each SD higher autonomy score (RR 0.92; 95%CI 0.86, 0.99), and 12% lower for each SD health care access score (RR 0.88; 95%CI 0.82,0.95) after adjustment for city level population size, population growth, homicide rates, and sub-city population educational attainment and living conditions scores. ConclusionOur findings show the key role cities have in reducing ABR through the implementation of strategies that foster women's socioeconomic progress such as education, employment, and health care access.

Agriculture, COVID-19 and mental health: Does gender matter?

Agriculture is one of the most precarious professions, being vulnerable to weather extremes and animal disease. As crises hit the agricultural sector, a growing awareness and concern for the mental wellbeing of farmers developed. Economic decline, climate change and culling animals all have a profound impact on affected farmers. To date, research has tended to focus on the farmer, typically a man, and not the farm family. This article considers the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19)on men and women on farms. Using qualitative interviews and focus groups, the impact of the pandemic on men's and women's work and social life within the family is explored. We found a differential impact. For farmers, usually men, COVID-19 was generally a positive experience both in terms of work and social life. For women, on the other hand, COVID-19 was found to have a negative impact on their work and social life. While gender equality in agriculture persists, women's equality in the workplace has advanced. However, with the pandemic, women worked from home on the farm. They experienced a regression in gender equality with traditional expectations of responsibility for childcare and housework returning. In addition, their emotional and 'mental' labour increased. We conclude that in the future, the mental health of men and women on farms needs to be considered when crises occur. Crises impact the farm family and different members of the family in dissimilar ways.

Women’s Everyday Lives in War and Peace in the South Caucasus, edited by Ulrike Ziemer. Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2020. X, 281 pp. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-25517-6_8

This edited volume provides a comparative analysis of the everyday problems of women in the South Caucasus. The authors of this collection pay special attention to the geopolitical analysis in the region in the context of social changes and civilizational challenges of women. The authors discuss the everyday problems of women during periods of transformation of political systems, regimes and conflicts, thereby explaining the various dimensions of these transits of power and institutions of public authority.
 The role of women in the South Caucasus is steadily growing even in conditions of instability, neither war nor peace. Women are actively employed in almost all spheres of life: in the economy, politics, culture, public life. However, in the South Caucasus, although the idea of protecting women's rights and gender equality has been enshrined at the constitutional level, the problem of how the actual status of women in society complies with constitutional provisions still persists.
 The democratization of the life of the South Caucasian society, the expansion of the information space and the variety of types of communications led to the involvement of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in global processes, in particular, in the implementation of the modernist project to protect the rights and freedoms of women.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of women's employment in the labor market of Kazakhstan

In this article, we raise the problem of female employment and gender inequality in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The paper describes and analyzes the main indicators of the labor market and defines the characteristics and characteristics of women's employment in the country. This issue does not lose its relevance due to its topicality and unresolved. The state is making attempts to resolve issues, but their effectiveness and evaluation show that its implementation in the regions raises many questions and misunderstandings. Employment of the female population, including rural women, will reduce the level of social tension and resolve issues of a socio-economic nature. Employment of Kazakhstani women should become one of the priorities of domestic policy. Increasing cases of domestic violence and suicide are indirect evidence of unresolved women's problems. It should be remembered that the state policy in the field of ensuring the employment of women should correlate with the socio-economic and other features of the development of the regions. Even if the share of women in total employment is almost equal to that of men, today it cannot be said that women have equal opportunities. The material for this work was the work of Kazakh and foreign scientists, scientific opinions and concepts on the role and significance of women's employment and gender inequality in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This work can be useful in adjusting the state policy in the field of employment of the female population. The article summarizes and analyzes the results of a study on women's employment in the labor market and the evaluation of its effectiveness. The analysis carried out became the basis for a more detailed study of this problem in the post-quarantine period.  Key words: gender policy, gender inequality, unemployment, employment, employment of women.

Studying social determinants of health using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis: A worked example

Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we present an alternative method for studying the social determinants of health (SDHs) that focuses on their configurational paths leading to population health outcomes. In our worked example, we examine the macrosocial determinants of infant mortality based on data covering 149 countries. First, we applied regression techniques to assess the net effects of key macrosocial determinants. Second, we used fsQCA to analyze the same data and identify the configurational paths. We calibrated the macrosocial determinants in terms of both advantages and disadvantages and revealed the configurations of (dis)advantages consistently linked to high infant mortality rates and low infant mortality rates. The regression analysis showed that the net effects of national economic performance, democracy level, inequality, and women's autonomy were all statistically significant. Together, they explained 83% of the variance in infant mortality rates between countries. Following the fuzzy-set analysis, the two main configurational paths to achieve low infant mortality rates were high women's autonomy together with high economic performance and high women's autonomy together with low inequality and full democracy. The main paths that left countries burdened with high infant mortality rates were low economic performance together with either low women's autonomy or high inequality. We conclude that different SDH configurations may lead to the same health outcomes. Therefore, it may not always be sufficient to say which variables matter the most universally, and by using fsQCA, it is possible to move from treating SDHs as competing independent variables to using them in configurations to explain health outcomes.

The Impact of the Woman in two Selected Novels of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Kate Chopin's The Awakening

The study deals with the impact of women writers who used feminist studies as a medium for advocating improvements and support for women's unequal roles in society. The study concerns two female writers, they are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Kate Chopin's The Awakening. They show that women conquered barriers to achieve control and independence before getting married. In Kate Chopin's The Awakening, the protagonist has changed her attitude toward the mother's role as well as the wife in a traditional Victorian marriage. She refuses the assigned positions. By closer analysis of the general perception of women writers and the popular concepts used by Chopin and Bronte to demonstrate the narrowness of patriarchal culture and its absence, the novels raise awareness about women's exploitation and help to create a road to women's long overdue emancipation and gender equality, concerning their fundamental human rights to freedom during this time. The study sheds light on similarities between the two novels, which portray Victorian society.

Peran Pembentukan Komite Sosial Kesetaraan Gender Perempuan dalam Isu Stereotip

The issue of gender inequality in the work environment such as gender stereotypes often occurs, one of which is at PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Bah Butong Tea Business Unit, where the workers were completely unaware of this action. This gender inequality arises because companies operating in industries or factories where the dominant workforce is male, thus causing gender inequality to be avoided. Employees must be able to balance position and power like male employees in every part of the job. In this study, the researcher uses a qualitative approach where Sugiyono (2016: 9) argues that qualitative research methods are used to examine proportional objects and the role of researchers as the main instrument in the research conducted. Gender inequality in the world of work does not see the position in the agency. Gender inequality cannot be overcome only by relying on position, work competence, or physical strength. The women's gender equality social committee was formed in order to provide impetus for change and address these issues. The company provides broad opportunities and fairness for women to develop their careers. Through the women's gender equality social committee forum, efforts for gender equality in the work environment continue to maximize and provide full support for the careers of female employees.

КЕҢЕСТІК ҚАЗАҚСТАНДАҒЫ 1917-1930 ЖЫЛДАРЫНДАҒЫ «ӘЙЕЛ ТЕҢДІГІ» МӘСЕЛЕСІ

The article analyzes some aspects of women's equality in the context of changes in society during the formation of Soviet Kazakhstan. The first adopted legal provisions deal with marriage, divorce, bride kidnapping, bride price, levirate and other topics. The decision of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan SSR on the destruction of the “kalym” will also be published. According to the decree, all agreements on "kalym" were considered illegal, and violators of the provisions of the decree were held criminally liable before the court. However, after this decree was legally extended only to the Kazakhs, in 1923 the Central Executive Committee of Turkestan adopted a new decree that applied to all nationalities of the republic. The issue of women's equality was first raised at the All-Kazakh Congress in 1917 in Orenburg. The article analyzes the demands of the representatives of "Alash" in equalizing the position of women in political rights with men, the right to voluntarily marry, clarifying the consent of the bride upon marriage, establishing the age of marriage up to 18 years for men and 16 years for women, the abolition of “kalym”, levirate, consent of the first woman to marry the second wife.

Covid-19 Krizi Sürecinin Kadınların Kayıt Dışı İstihdamına Etkileri

Covid-19 krizi sürecinde kayıt dışı çalışan kadınlar gelir ve istihdam kayıplarından en olumsuz etkilenen grup olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, ilgili literatür ışığında Covid-19 krizi sürecinin kadınların kayıt dışı istihdamdaki etkileri toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı boyutları çerçevesinde tartışılmaktadır. Araştırmanın temel bulgularına göre, kadınlar istihdama katıldıkları kayıt dışı çalışma biçimlerinin (ev işçiliği, sanayiye yönelik ev eksenli işler gibi) hem ataerkillik, toplumsal cinsiyetten beslenen özelliklerinden kaynaklı kırılganlığı hem de bu işlerin yüksek düzeyde karantina önlemlerine duyarlı olması nedeniyle büyük istihdam ve gelir kayıpları yaşamışlardır. Salgın önlemlerinin hafifletildiği süreçte ise ortaya çıkan eğilimler Covid-19 krizinin kadınlar için iş gücü piyasasında adeta bir kayıt dışına katılım döngüsü-çıkmazı yaratma potansiyeline işaret etmektedir. Bu ise kayıt dışı istihdama katılımın kadın için daha da artacağı anlamına gelmektedir. Covid-19 kriz süreci kadınların kayıt dışı işlerdeki kötü çalışma koşullu işleri ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğini kalıcılaştırmaktadır. Kayıt dışı istihdama yönelik olarak, çalışanların istihdam biçimlerinin yasal düzeyde tanınması; çalışma biçimlerinin, sosyal güvence kapsamına alınması, ücret güvencesi gibi tüm çalışma koşullarının yasal çerçevede düzenlenmesi acil bir gerekliliktir. Kadınlar özelinde bu politika ve programlar, aynı zamanda kadınlara karşı toplumsal cinsiyetçi tutumları dönüştürme, ücretsiz bakım-ev işlerinin ve kadınların iş gücü piyasasında üretim etkinliklerini toplumsal yaşamda daha görünür ve değerli kılacak ilke ve uygulamalar çerçevesinde tasarlanmalıdır.

CITRA PEREMPUAN SALIHAH DALAM AKUN YOUTUBE YUFID.TV: al-Qur’an, Hadis, Konstruksi, dan Relevansi

Patriarchal culture is still developing in our society, where women are constructed as weak creatures and are behind men. This culture is inseparable from religious doctrines, which also lead to the discourse of restricting women’s movement; in this case, the labeling of salihah is a strong enough factor that women outside the home deviate from Islamic law. Yuvid.TV conveys one of the constructions that marginalize women on its YouTube channel. Therefore, the questionn answered in this study was how to construct salihah women through Yufid.TV's interpretation of QS. An-Nisā’[4]: 34 considering that Yufid.TV in several of its shows also discussed salihah women. Then this study examined how relevant this interpretation to the contemporary context. By using Karl Mannheim's sociology of knowledge approach and descriptive-critical analysis, this study showed that Yufid.TV's understanding in interpreting QS. An-Nisā’[4]: 34 tends to be textual and seems indifferent to the social conditions of the surrounding community. So that this pious construction reflects on the patriarchal mindset, namely the effort to make women as secondary beings whose duties are limited to domestic affairs only. In fact, in the contemporary social context, the discourse of women's equality has been widely expressed. Where many women have succeeded in proving that their existence is worthy of consideration

A Situational Analysis of Women’s Leadership in South African Politics

Abstract Women are under-represented in South African’s political decision-making structures and processes. The literature review explores various factors responsible for suppressing women’s participation in the political context, such as social (stereotypical mindset) and economical (financial dependence), which are deemed the most dominant ones. However, the lack of political will is a factor that cannot be ignored. This shows in election manifestos of various political parties where the gender mainstreaming aspect is missing. Drawing from the empowerment approach of the feminist theory, the findings revealed that women's participation in local government politics is still to be achieved due to limited opportunities for women, and negative attitudes toward politics, including the politics of patronage. The conclusions derived from the desktop study indicated the need for gender diversity and inclusivity in government departments that include courts, executive and parliament. Allowing women to define their destiny in the political sphere helps ensure women's representation and gender equality. Recommendations are offered to the government of South Africa to raise awareness of gender equality and empowerment, which is crucial for creating women's participation in local government politics and vital for attaining inclusive communities.
