Overall, this research will evaluate the role of women in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), which are focused on gender equality and women empowerment based on Islam.

The Impact of Feminism and the Outlook for Its Development: A Case Study of the Film Titanic

In the framework of a love story, the film Titanic portrays the behaviour and psychology of multiple characters with distinct personalities, shaping many unique female and male images. While telling the story, it expresses profound feminist ideas, illustrates the conflict between two genders, and leads people to think deeply about gender relations. In this paper, the author analyzes some representative characters in the film and examines the impact of feminism on literature, film, economy, and politics, emphasizing the importance and potential of women in various fields. It is found that feminism encourages women to start and participate in a business, and it promotes the success of women in the fields of technology and business. Finally, this paper discusses the development and challenges of feminism in contemporary society. Feminism not only provides important support for the cause of gender equality but also inspires more people to pay attention to gender equality issues and strive to build a more just and inclusive society. The influence of feminism will continue to drive social development and change.

Gender Roles, Gender Bias, and Cultural Influences: Perceptions of Male and Female UAE Public Relations Professionals

Research into gender dynamics in the Public Relations (PR) industry has suggested that the gendered perceptions of PR roles, gender bias, and cultural norms may contribute to gender-related issues in the field. The current study, framed as an exploratory investigation, examines how PR professionals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) perceive gender equality issues within their industry. Drawing on survey responses from 152 PR practitioners in the UAE, this research investigates the extent to which these professionals perceive gender equality issues in the PR sector. The survey results reveal positive perceptions of gender equality issues, although some specific gender-related concerns emerge. One key finding is that there are minimal gender differences in perceiving gender equality issues between male and female professionals. Respondents also expressed confidence that their organizations are implementing practices in support of gender equality and recognizing the impact of such practices on employee performance. Given the lack of data on gender equality in the UAE, this exploratory study contributes to a better understanding of gender equality among professionals and provides insights into the strategies for advancing gender equality in the sector.

Evaluation of the Zipper System in Efforts to Increase Women’s Representation to 30 Percent in Parliament

The low representation of women in parliament is a global problem, especially in Indonesia. The status quo shows that the role and representation of women in parliament is still very low, which has implications for legislation products that are not inclusive. Women are vital in legislation, especially in micro-policy aspirations related to welfare, education, equality, and household issues. The affirmation policy with a minimum female candidacy quota of 30 percent in Indonesia is implemented through the zipper system. However, unfortunately, it is still ineffective because women's representation is still very low. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the inequality of women's representation in the Indonesian parliament. The data used secondary data, which has been collected and processed by other parties. The result of this study is an evaluation of the zipper system, which is still ineffective because it depends on the placement of candidate sequence numbers and political party awareness. The placement of women in number 1 is only 19 percent, while in number three, it reaches 67 percent, and in number 6, 65 percent. It has a big impact on the probability of low electability. With women's representation, women's voices can be heard and fought for in government, thus realizing an equal and inclusive government. Revamping the zipper system by requiring the placement of female candidates at number 1 is an effective solution to increase women's representation in parliament in line with descriptive representation theory, which emphasizes the importance of proportional representation from various groups of society in government.

Five angry men: advocating for and mobilizing EU gender equality law to advance men's rights

AbstractThis article analyses the impact of a men's rights organization involved in political lobbying and legal mobilization around gender equality issues at the European level since 1986. Drawing on the as‐yet unexplored archival materials of the Campaign for Equal State Pension Ages (CESPA), an organization that had a membership of about 1,200 individuals in the 1990s and later rebranded itself as PARITY, the article explores the meaning of European Union gender equality advocacy and mobilization by and for an organization initially composed exclusively of men based in the United Kingdom. It argues that anti‐discrimination law was successively used as a strategic tool by this organization to further class equality and as a potentially anti‐feminist instrument to defend men's rights.

Corporate social responsibility as a framework for gender equality: Mapping of gender equality standards for sustainable development

AbstractCorporations address gender equality issues in the context of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development. As in other areas of CSR, various standards, certifications, and similar initiatives have been proposed to promote gender equality. Despite an increasing number of self‐regulation and signaling schemes being proposed, their study has been overlooked by the scholarly literature. This article tries to shed light on these standards through a two‐stage exploratory study. First, the main worldwide initiatives that focus on gender equality standards are scrutinized and mapped. Second, their main characteristics are analyzed, based on a content analysis of the information disclosed by organizations that foster the most relevant initiatives. A systematic analysis of relevant gender equality standards is provided. This work highlights a dispersion and lack of uniformity in terms of missions, results, measurement, and even the definition of gender equality or the term used to refer to it. No framework has prevailed. Gender equality standards lack gender mainstreaming and intersectionality is invisible. The business case appears to be the main driver of gender equality standards. The present study is one of the first attempts to thoroughly examine the institutional design of gender equality standards, their standard‐setting process as well as their enforcement. We suggest a rethink of the policies that promote the gender equality standards in organizations, as well as a need for collaborative work between managers and policymakers towards the use of common terminology, indicators, and uniformity regarding the terms to be certificated.

Analysis of Gender Equality and Disability Inclusion: Based on The Sustainability Report of Goto And The ESGReport of Grab In 2022

Amidst the changing times reflected in the rapid growth of the information technology industry in Indonesia driven by technology startups, there are still challenges regarding gender equality and disability inclusion. Data shows an increase in women's participation in technology, but their representation in leadership positions remains low. Additionally, people with disabilities still face barriers to entering this sector. Major companies like GoTo and Grab are paying attention to the importance of these issues and are starting to implement them in their operations, as depicted in the Sustainability Report of GoTo and the ESG Report of Grab for the year 2022. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze these reports, focusing on gender equality and disability inclusion. The results are expected to provide insights into how major technology companies in Indonesia perceive and address issues of equality and inclusion.

Gender Equality Perspectives on Female Labor Force in West Bandung Regency

Research conducted in West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia, reveals that the challenges to achieving gender equality stem from differences in perspectives between men and women regarding rights, obligations, roles, and social status. One of these discussions often revolves around the issue of gender equality in the labor force, primarily concerning the rights and responsibilities guaranteed to Indonesian citizens by the 1945 Constitution. Gender equality in employment is both a governmental responsibility to protect citizens' rights and has cultural underpinnings. There still exist several institutional and socio-cultural barriers to improving gender equality in the workforce, including workers' awareness of their rights and the bargaining power of female employees. Therefore, it is believed that the government should play a crucial role in promoting gender equality by strengthening the enforcement of gender equality laws in the labor sector and enhancing labor market oversight. Furthermore, increasing awareness of gender equality among female workers and providing social protection for women in the informal sector is essential.

Distinct information ecologies? Gender knowledge production in German digital legacy and counterpublic media

ABSTRACT This article studies the epistemic dimension of current struggles over gender and sexual equality issues by analyzing digital media as epistemic systems transferring and producing gender knowledge. The analysis compares the representation and production of gender knowledge in German legacy and counterpublic media discourses on four dimensions related to the article-content level: media’s issue focus and their positioning toward gender issues; media’s referencing practices through hyperlinks, a unique affordance particular to digital spaces; and finally, the digital information ecologies created through these referencing practices. I conduct a quantitative content analysis and social network analysis of article content and hyperlink references in articles featuring gender issues, published in 16 German digital news outlets of legacy media and feminist, radical right, antifeminist men’s rights activist, and Christian fundamentalist counterpublic media between December 2018 and November 2019. The results show that different types of media employ different modes of gender knowledge production. Anti-egalitarian counterpublic media show a rather reactive mode of gender knowledge production, while feminist media’s mode of gender knowledge production is more autonomous. The digital information ecologies created through the references display varying levels of integration and fragmentation in relation to the mainstream public sphere, indicative of the underlying epistemic conflicts.

The Role, Challenges, and Countermeasures of NGO Participation in the Third Distribution

In the context of accelerated social transformation in China, the consensus on solving social problems through the participation of NGOs in the third distribution has become increasingly clear. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the challenges faced by NGOs when participating in the third allocation from a practical perspective, and summarize a set of practical ideas and countermeasures. This has important practical significance for further solving the issue of social equality and alleviating the gap between rich and poor. Based on the existing 12 papers on NGO and third distribution, this paper analyzes the theoretical role of NGO participation in third distribution, which can be divided into two elements: alleviating the shortage of public goods and low cost and high efficiency. From a practical perspective, examine the current situation of NGOs in the third distribution from the perspective of the "two major factors" mentioned above. It is found that there are still three major problems: the inefficiency caused by "voluntary failure", the imperfection of the charitable tax system, and the constraints of the dual management system. How to solve the above-mentioned "three major issues" has become the key to the efficient participation of NGOs in the third distribution.

Equality as a Problem, Greatness as a Solution

The article deals with the issue of equality in contemporary political philosophy. The main purpose is to identify the current state of the academic debate, in which the issue is discussed, and to propose an alternative approach as a solution to the impasses that the main currents of thought around the subject have bequeathed to real politics. We first present the premises of what we call negationist criticism, a tradition of ideas with roots in European socialism that identifies the foundations of inequality in social structures and proposes agendas for total change in society. Next, we present the premises of social democratic neoliberalism, a broad body of ideas and practices that updated eighteenth and nineteenth century liberalism, in order to deal with the problem of inequality in light of the imperative of freedom and meritocracy. This allows for a lateral concern with the economic and social distortions to which redistributive and reparative intervention agendas are dedicated, without modifying the structures of social life. As an alternative to both prevailing paradigms, we hold what we call transformative institutionalism, which identifies inequality as a problem related to the structuring of original advantages in societies, whose therapeutics relies on institutional imagination, whereby changing structures becomes an issue of reorganizing existing institutional arrangements. The ultimate goal is to enable a chain reaction of transformations. This perspective is guided by the ideal of greatness, which, translated into real politics, means the aggrandizement of common people rather than an appeal to absolute equality or supreme freedom as values in themselves.

GENDER EQUALITY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to consider methodological approaches to building a gender sensitive community that would be a comfortable place for residents to live, in particular, to characterize the types of gender analysis and analyze its various methods that have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine; develop an algorithm for assessing the gender impact of a local self-government progra or policy. Design/methodology/approach. Various general scientific and special research methods are used to solve the tasks set in the work. The abstract and logical method is used for theoretical generalizations, the definition of main categories and concepts, and the formation of research conclusions. The methods of analysis and synthesis are used to characterize the concept of gender and features of gender inequality in local self-government bodies. The structural and functional method made it possible to distinguish the kinds of gender analysis in local self-government. The comparative analysis helped study different methods of gender analysis, which have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine. Conclusions. The kinds of gender analysis are characterized and various methods of its implementation, which have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine, are analyzed. In particular, it is found that the most common method is the assessment of a gender impact; the indicators and main groups of indices used in the specified method are considered. The developed algorithm for assessing the gender impact of a local self-government program or policy makes it possible to systematize and comprehensively assess and reduce the presence of gender gaps with the help of such tools as gender budgeting, and a gender profile (passport) of the community. The concept of the implementation of a gender approach to local self-government is generalized. Originality/value. Gender assessment begins with defining problems and goals, and identifying gender gaps. The identified needs and problems are assessed in the next step, whether they can be solved with the help of developed programs and practices. The proposed indicators and indices will allow determining how the developed programs affected the reduction of gender gaps. It is researched that in practice such an assessment is reduced to the analysis of gender balance/imbalance in the personnel composition of communities, the assessment of the gender sensitivity of documents (whether there are feminine gender-specific job titles, whether the documents take into account the interests of men and women, boys and girls, including vulnerable categories, etc.), the formation of a gender-sensitive space in the community. Practical results. The materials presented in the article will be useful to local self-government bodies, public organizations, activists, and everyone interested in the issue of gender equality.

Household headship, resource ownership and food security: New evidence from Southeast Nigerian cities

In cities with deeply entrenched sociocultural/patriarchal norms, female-headed households (FHHs) and male-headed households (MHHs) often have unequal access to economic resources and opportunities, which can lead to gender gaps in food security. Male control of economic resources means that women and FHHs are frequently less able to invest in and achieve food security goals. Using an estimated food security line constructed from a set of household food expenditure data retrieved from the 2018/19 Nigeria Living Standards Survey (to delineate households as food secure and food insecure), as well as a nonlinear Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition model, this study investigates how household headship and resource ownership contribute to gendered food (in)security gaps in Nigerian cities. The study offers two main findings. First, there are significant food security inequalities between MHHs and FHHs. Second, the differences in the level of use of household resources/assets explain 56 % of the observed gendered food security inequalities. In sum, the study suggests that: (i) if FHHs are supported to acquire the same level of economic resources as MHHs, their food security status can improve significantly; and (ii) considering household headship and resource ownership as crucial gender equality issues in food security policies can help advance the wellbeing of FHHs in cities. This study's findings are important for the design of policies promoting equal rights to economic resources and the achievement of food security for both men and women.

GENDER EQUALITY IN UKRAINE: ANALYSIS OF THE REGULATORY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The development of gender legislation in Ukraine is taking place at a fairly fast pace. The achievement of equal rights and opportunities by women and men is defined among the obligations that Ukraine undertook before the European Community.The purpose of the research is to analyze the legislative principles underlying the problem of gender equality; describe the process of gender legislation; identify the problems of practical implementation of legislation on gender equality.The development of our society requires significant changes in ensuring equal opportunities for women and men in all spheres of life and legal consolidation and elementary legal implementation of gender human rights instruments of influence, development of a gender policy strategy and its implementation in Ukraine, active participation in this process by representatives of both sexes. The domestic normative legal framework on gender equality issues is exclusively descriptive and is not provided with real implementation steps, i.e. financial and organizational resources [2]. Civil society in Ukraine in modern conditions, unfortunately, is not a driving force that can change the gender situation in the country [2]. Therefore, the legislative consolidation of gender equality in the state can only be traced theoretically, and in real life practices it is difficult for women to achieve full equality on a level with men.Today, gender discrimination is increasing in connection with the war in Ukraine, the economic and social crisis, and the austerity measures taken by the Government of Ukraine to overcome it. Women and children make up two-thirds of the 1.6 million officially registered internally displaced persons.Thus, the process of developing gender legislation continues, the Government and executive bodies are taking all possible measures to ensure gender equality in Ukrainian society. A perspective for further research is the study of foreign experience regarding gender education in higher education institutions.

PEGEMI (Peran Generasi Milenial) Dalam Mewujudkan Kesetaraan Gender Melalui Pendekatan Media Sosial

Gender equality is a global goal that has become the concern of the world community. One important factor in achieving gender equality is the role of the millennial generation or what is often referred to as generation Y. The millennial generation has a very important role in fighting for gender equality. Through this research, the authors discuss the role of the millennial generation in realizing gender equality. The author uses a qualitative descriptive method by conducting interviews with five millennials who are active in the gender equality movement. The findings from this study indicate that the millennial generation has a good understanding of gender equality and they also actively participate in the gender equality movement. The millennial generation has also taken the initiative to bring gender equality issues into the public sphere through social media and social activities. However, there are still many challenges faced by the millennial generation in fighting for gender equality, such as gender stereotypes and discrimination that still exist in society. Therefore, the millennial generation needs to continue to struggle and work together with related parties to achieve gender equality.
