Silent shadows in the rebirth of Czech nation: Unveiling the role of rape and sexual violence in the ethnic cleansing of post‐WWII Czech lands

AbstractThe article explores the harrowing use of sexual violence as a tool in the ethnic cleansing of Germans in post‐World War II Czechoslovakia. By examining the grim realities of internment camps, prisons, and border regions, it reveals a disturbing pattern of abuse aimed primarily at German women by Czech men. This violence was not isolated but integral to the broader project of national cleansing, laying bare the patriarchal foundations of Czechoslovak society. State policies, including the differential treatment of mixed marriages, reinforced a male‐dominated ethos. By stripping Germans of their citizenship and legal protections, Czech authorities fostered a climate of impunity, allowing a wave of sexual violence to persist through the ‘German transfers’. The article sheds light on this dark chapter, exposing how rape was used to reaffirm Czech men's dominance in the nation's postwar rebirth.

The development of ambivalent sexism: Proposals for an expanded model.

The United Nations' Goals for Sustainable Development highlight gender inequality as a pervasive problem around the world. Developmental psychologists can help us understand the development and consequences of sexism in people's lives. I highlight ambivalent sexism theory as a promising framework for this work; and I offer recommendations for expanding the theory. Ambivalent sexism theory distinguishes between hostile sexism and benevolent sexism as complementary processes perpetuating and maintaining men's dominance and heteronormativity in society. I summarize how these two forms of sexism emerge during childhood and adolescence; and I review the negative manifestations of hostile and benevolent sexism during adolescence and adulthood. Next, I chart several directions for expanding the ambivalent sexism model. These include addressing sexism directed towards gender-nonconforming, sexual-minoritized, and gender-minoritized youth (in addition to sexism towards girls and women); taking into account the gender and sexual identities of both perpetrators and targets of sexism; considering a broader array of hostile and benevolent sexist practices than captured in existing measures; taking into account cultural variations and intersectionality in how ambivalent sexism is enacted; conducting more research on ambivalent sexism in childhood and adolescence and designing effective programs to reduce and to prevent ambivalent sexism beginning in childhood.

Steering Women out of Engineering: Career Assessment Tools as a Technology of Self‐Expressive Segregation

Previous research has shown that gendered societal expectations are adopted by students as seemingly personal and individualistic self‐assessments and preferences, which then lead to gender‐normative choices about college majors and careers. This study examines one seemingly objective mechanism, which millions use each year for guidance on college majors and careers. We examine two Career Assessment Tools (CATs) with deep institutional presence: O*NET and Traitify. Analyzing an exemplar case of engineering majors, we find that CATs are less likely to recommend engineering occupations to women, even after controlling for GPA, satisfaction with the major, and planned persistence. Even in our sample of engineering majors, CATs apparently use small differences in students' gender‐normative self‐expressive preferences to drive sharply different occupational recommendations, thereby solidifying pathways toward gender‐segregated occupations and reinforcing men's dominance of engineering. If women similar to our study participants take CATs, they are likely to be steered away from engineering occupations or majors. More broadly, CATs illustrate how taken‐for‐granted, seemingly neutral technologies can reinforce gender segregation.

Exploring Feminine Subjugation and Liberation: A Comparative Analysis of Gender Roles and Patriarchal Constraints in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Kate Chopin's “The Story of an Hour”

The major problem of how women live in a society devoid of freedom, where they are repressed, subordinated, and denied rights. Women are still treated unfairly in modern culture, despite the fact that their views are heard. Similarly, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" illustrates the struggles women face to assert personal identity. And in "The Story of an Hour," the heroine is dominated by her husband. Sadly, the predominance of men in practically every sector of society, including Politics, Economics, Education, and even Psychology, significantly restricts their freedom. The aim is to elevate women to equal status with men in society. Women have made a variety of attempts to express their desires. The goal is to challenge men's domination or at the very least, elevate women to a status where they are on par with males in society, as patriarchal culture has kept women at the bottom of the social hierarchy. This article focuses on women’s role, loss of identity, their unhappy married lives, and the search for individuality in the face of social norms.

Exploring the Patriarchal Oppression and Predicament of Women: A Radical Feministic Analysis of Mitra Phukan's The Collector's Wife and Arupa Patangia Kalita's Felanee

This Research paper aims to investigate the violence against women and the repercussions of political upheaval as reflected in Mitra Phukan’s The Collector's Wife and Arupa Patangia Kalita’s novel Felanee in the northeastern Indian literature. Women have long endured social injustices based on patriarchy and experience a range of socially imposed discrimination. Society regards women as mere by-products of sentimental domesticity, whereas males dominate and sphere head all the public domain as the rightful inheritors. Women are the worst affected by these geopolitical manoeuvres and are more physiologically affected. Not only do these acts of discrimination jeopardise public safety and tranquility, but they also have a profound impact on the lives of women. The literature of North-East India has several instances of this exploitation. This paper also highlights the radical feminist theory, Mitra Phukan and AP Kalita clearly explained the patriarchal system, which is based on gender roles and is characterized by prioritizing men's domination and interests over women's and reinforced by sexuality and motherhood while valuing female sexuality and fertility in Assam culture.

Fight or flight: reimagining Charles Jesse “Buffalo” Jones' conservation efforts through a bison's embodied perspective

In this speculative historical essay, I employ Buffalo Jones' records to expand upon who can have a voice in the archive, thereby undermining the anthropocentrism inherent in the chronicling of bison conservation. Indeed, this work of “fictocriticism” deploys empathy to recenter the more-than-human voice and ironically uses the observations of the bison's tormentor to move beyond a simplistic anthropomorphic representation. The essay briefly introduces Jones and his contentious legacy as a murderer of Indigenous peoples, buffalo hunter and, later, a central figure in early bison conservation. The essay then shifts into a first-person account of the pursuit and capture of the last remaining southern plains bison from the Texas Panhandle from a cow's embodied perspective. The bison's first-person perspective as one of Jones' prey brings an immediacy to a history that has often been retold to center man's mastery and supremacy. Finally, this essay employs footnotes as a critical intervention by connecting the speculative narrative to Jones' written accounts in published journals. These two narrative approaches demonstrate the significance of bison kinship and how anthropocentrism and white supremacy's entangled ideologies blinded Jones to the worthiness of these others' lifeways. The written submission is accompanied by two audio artworks based on this essay. In creating affective, sound-designed audio works, I have intentionally extracted the archival-research-based narrative from a white supremacist, a patriarchal written tradition for critical purposes.

Power and control, resistance and survival: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of the qualitative literature on intimate partner violence against transgender individuals

Transgender (trans) individuals experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at elevated levels compared to cisgender individuals. Traditional theoretical understandings of IPV as men's patriarchal domination of women, and later, broader theories in which IPV is conceptualized as the relatively privileged partner enacting domination over the relatively oppressed partner, do not fully capture the totality of IPV experiences, including how IPV is perpetrated against trans individuals. We conducted a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis of the qualitative and theoretical literatures on IPV against trans individuals (N = 37 articles and books) to generate novel IPV theory inclusive of trans individuals' experiences. We identified five major themes: (1) societal context of IPV, (2) IPV tactics and types, (3) help-seeking, (4) consequences of IPV, and (5) proposed interventions for victims. Synthesizing across themes, we offer a novel theoretical model that demonstrates how abusers can leverage structural discrimination and vulnerabilities against trans victims, regardless of the abuser's own identities. We identify individual power and control tactics abusers use, including identifying a category of IPV that we term leveraging vulnerability, which involves abusers weaponizing their own vulnerabilities to avoid accountability. Reducing IPV in trans communities requires expanding current IPV theory to include trans victims, recognition of a wider range of abuse tactics, and structural interventions that promote the respectful treatment of trans individuals. Our theoretical model of IPV "centers the margins" to make trans victims' experiences, and indeed all victims whose experiences fall outside normative scripts, more legible.

Women Resistance Towards Men Domination And Race Discrimination In Freedom Writers (2007)

This research aimed at analyzing: 1) what are the indicators of women resistance, 2) how was women resistance illustrated in the movie, 3) why did Richard LaGravanese bring the issues of women resistance in the movie. The type of this study is qualitative. The data collection technique that be used by the researcher is documentation method. The data obtained are in the form of dialogues, pictures, and explanations of situations found in movie and transcript which show data showing forms of women's resistance to men domination and racial discrimination contained in the movie. The results show that the indicators of women resistance, namely: 1) fight for equality; 2) dare to make decisions; 3) can convey without hesitation their experience, which is also valuable; 4) can express an opinion and stick to it; 5) dare to take their rights and opportunities. There are five data that illustrate how the women resistance toward the domination and discrimination they receive. Last, this movie is interesting about how women can resist dominations and discriminations which can inspire many other women out there to have the courage to make decisions, to have determination, to have the courage to resist inequality.

Maternal Health Services in Pakistan

Background: Women must be provided with necessary health services for a child's good health and future during pregnancy. Women's health has experienced a considerable epidemiological change during the past several decades. Maternal well-being and health affect not only the developed world but predominantly the developing nations. Differences in resource allocation between industrialized and developing countries ultimately led to notable differences in pregnancy complications and deaths. Aim: To investigate these barriers. A literature review was carried out to address this research topic. Methodology: Six online databases AMED, CINAHL PLUS, PUBMED, MEDLINE, COCHRANE LIBRARY and SCIENCE DIRECT were used for a preliminary search that yielded 6353 articles. No grey literature was discovered due to time restrictions. Seven publications were discovered to be eligible for inclusion in the literature review after carefully reading, analysing, and evaluating them with the help of critical appraisal techniques. After the initially searched articles were filtered using robust inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings: Data were taken from different sources like the Pakistan Demographic and Health Surveys (PDHSs), WHO, and a comparison was made with the findings from different factors. The analysis concentrates on women of Pakistan having maternal health issues and maternal health services. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) is used for the assessment and qualitative analysisof this study. Practical implications: By addressing the issues highlighted in this paper there appears to be substantial room for improvements in Pakistan’s pregnancy outcomes. This review provides a better understanding of the risk factors determining maternal mortality in Pakistan.Public awareness is important as this paper almost covered the different platforms which are working on maternal health servicesto aware the society. To promote maternal health messages and encourage pregnant women to receive maternal healthcare services, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and health organizations can adopt a variety of campaigns. Results: This study discussed the impact of different factorswhich effect on maternal health. Different factors are associated with utilizing maternal healthcare services at antenatal care and delivery stages of pregnancy in Pakistan. This review concentrated on the economic and social vulnerability of pregnant women and emphasized the importance of parallel, more all-encompassing initiatives, like poverty reduction and women's empowerment. Poor maternal health in Pakistan has many root causes, including undernourishment of young girls, early marriage, high fertility rates, and unmet contraceptive needs. Conclusion: The key factors influencing women's hesitation and refusal to use the health facilities in Pakistan include structural hurdles, maternal knowledge and education levels, and men's dominance in decision-making, according to the themes drawn from the literature. Keywords: Pregnant women, Maternal health, Ante-natal care, Pakistan,Demographic and health surveys,

Woman in Beauvoir's Concept: A Feminist Reading

The purpose of this paper is to present the French existentialist philosopher Simon de Beauvoir's feminist viewpoint against traditional patriarchy, which is a social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line. It also tries to present her traditional analysis how woman has been unreasonably victimized by man in the society. Beauvoir shows with great erudition that man's dominance has been secured through the ages by an ideological power; legislators, priests, scientists, and philosophers have all promoted the idea of woman's subordination. Hence, Beauvoir concludes that feminist must break this type of patriarchal power to change man at the level of theory, but without entering the theoretical domain on man's terms; however man and woman should live together for a happy life by enjoying equal right and power.

The Study of Gender on Language Use through Conversation of XI Social 1 Students at SMAN 9 Musi Rawas

The focus of this research is a sociolinguistic examination of the impact of gender on language use. The primary goal of this research is to analyze the implications of men's and women's roles on their language usage. This research aims to highlight the variables that contribute to disparities in how gender impacts language use. This study's inquiry method is a questionnaire and audio-recoding. This study has shown differences in how men and women use language in our society and others like it. They use only some of the same forms; instead, they use different quantities or frequencies of the same form. In a society where gender plays a significant role, language is essential in contributing to that role. Gender roles, men's and women's identities, the hierarchical nature of gender relations, and men's dominance are all factors that contribute to differences in language use. Gender differentiation does not exist in a vacuum; it interacts with other types of social differentiation in a complex way. Language and gender, on the other hand, are formed through participation in everyday social activities. In conclusion, gender and language are inextricably linked.

When the Modern Was the Tradition: Carlo Mollino at Sestriere and His Last Unpublished project (1973)

The Alps have often been considered a laboratory for architectural modernity. Buildings there were a litmus test to reveal the attitudes of 20th-century architects towards design. When Carlo Mollino designed a project for a Club Med hotel in Sestriere in 1973, which was neither built nor published, he was at the end not only of his career but also of an important era for architecture that had begun just after World War II and ended in the economic crisis of the early 1970s. During this time, a debate on modern architecture acquired a new and increasingly important focus on context; Alpine architecture was at the forefront. The Club Med design was the culmination of Mollino's series of reflections on modernism. In the 1950s, he conceived of buildings for a sophisticated public, and his final project was a megastructure for mass tourism. The ski-resort town of Sestriere, founded by the Agnelli family in the early 1930s, was created for the consumption of nature by the masses, just as the Agnelli family produced Fiat cars for mass consumption. It was the first resort town where rationalism, speed, mass consumption, and the dominion of man over nature were the focus of urban and architectural design. Mollino's Club Med design was for a hotel that would be a machine for tourist consumption in the mountains. The project was one of the last examples of a way of consuming the Alps that vanished in subsequent years.   

Ecofeminism in Victorian Female Literature

Ecofeminism was formally proposed in the 1970s and widely applied to sociology, religion, and political science, and plenty of other disciplines. Indeed, some visionary female writers applied ecofeminism theory to literary writing as early as the Victorian period, with the awakening of female thought. Jane Eyre, a classic work of the period, explores the connection between nature and female consciousness and reveals the tragedy of men mutilating and oppressing women and nature in the 19th century. The novel depicts men's dominance and oppression of nature and women in a way that subverts binary opposition, expressing the author's desire to liberate nature and women, awaken women's self-consciousness, and build an equal and harmonious society.

Critical Appraisal and Masculine Authority: The Boys Clubs' Derogatory Method of Reading Canadian Feminist Speculative Fiction.

Culture scholars have shown that cultural intermediaries play a crucial role in the reproduction of inequalities in consecration (Corse and Westervelt, 2002; Maguire Smith and Matthews, 2012; Miller, 2014; Ridgeway, 2011; Steinberg, 1990 cited in Bourdieu, 2010). However, the analysis of gender inequalities in reception and canonization has focused on individual bias, neglecting the contribution of scholars of hegemonic masculinity about the importance of patterned practices in the reproduction of men's dominance over women (Connell and Messerschmidt, 2005). Given that art worlds are not settings where typical markers of hegemonic masculinity are valued, such as money and physical prowess, what are the tools of hegemonic masculinity in art worlds? I answer this question through a comparative analysis of the reception of two iconic Canadian feminist novels: L'Euguélionne (2012 [1976]) by Louky Bersianik and The Handmaid's Tale (1985) by Margaret Atwood. Building on feminist scholarship, I find that the discursive apparatus of hegemonic masculinity in art worlds consists of a derogatory method of reading employed by critics in newspapers. This method of reading is founded on three discursive components: (i) a reductive reading of feminist politics; (ii) a man-centred assessment of feminism and (iii) a questioning of women's creative credibility which belittles the contribution of feminist authors. By translating the concept of boys' club (Delvaux, 2019) and identifying its derogatory method of reading, I propose a framework that illuminates how critical appraisal shapes discursive resources available for both professional and non-professional readers to draw upon for evaluation and classification of women's cultural productions and feminist engagements.

Re-gendering Climate Change: Men and Masculinity in Climate Research, Policy, and Practice

In this Perspective, we argue that much climate change research conflates “gender” with “women.” We ask, what are the consequences of this conflation, and what do we learn when we follow sociologist George Homan's classical command to “bring men back in” to our analysis of the gendered dimensions of climate change? We find, first, that scholarship on gender and climate change tends to depict women mainly as victims of the uneven impacts of climate change. While this assessment is accurate on its face, it leads to solutions that address the problem (women's troubles), not its causes (men's greater responsibilities and failures relating to climate change). We note that researchers' focus on women's suffering diverts attention from a thorough examination of the mechanisms and consequences of men's domination of climate change research and policy. We find, further, that analysts' gender/women conflation hinders redress of women's injuries by camouflaging men's blameworthiness and offering solutions that often increase women's duties. Gender researchers' emphasis on women's plight and inequality obscures the exception that proves the rule: men wield the (sometimes) invisible hands that create and perpetuate the climate crisis at the expense of everyone, including women. In this Perspective, we acknowledge women's relative vulnerability to climate change, outline in some detail the role of men and masculinity in the climate crisis, and identify the unique strengths that women and men each bring to the table to address the environmental challenges facing humanity.

Female Desire in Chaucer's Legend of Good Women and Middle English Romance by Lucy M. Allen-Goss

Reviewed by: Female Desire in Chaucer's Legend of Good Women and Middle English Romance by Lucy M. Allen-Goss Holly A. Crocker lucy m. allen-goss, Female Desire in Chaucer's Legend of Good Women and Middle English Romance. Gender in the Middle Ages, Volume 15. Woodbridge: D.S. Brewer, 2020. Pp. ix, 225. isbn: 978–1843845706. $99. With this study's focus on feminine desire, Lucy M. Allen-Goss asks what I believe will be the most crucial question in premodern literary studies: what will emerge if we change the standpoint from which we begin our scholarly enquiries into gender, sexuality, and other literary representations of embodiment? Allen-Goss focuses welcome attention on Chaucer's Legend of Good Women as a hermeneutic locus where the absences that might create a 'lesbian-like erotic' potentially emerge. Allen-Goss pairs this consideration with analysis of Middle English romance, or 'a mode of writing about female desire and bodily agency that is innovative and contemporary rather than isolated and retrograde' (pp. 28–29). In thinking through the tradition Chaucer and romance writers inherited, where women's desire is equated with deviance or treated as an absence, this book pursues a model of sexuality that is not constructed in relation to masculine desire. That kind of sexuality is almost always thwarted in Chaucer. While Chaucer might seek to represent a form of desire that emerges outside or beyond masculine domination or violence, in Chapter One Allen-Goss suggests that the 'Legend of Philomela' shows how a feminine hermeneutic is ultimately silenced in keeping with Jerome's famous model of reading as the rape of a conquered woman. Chapter Two, which turns to the Alliterative Morte, reads the giant's violent rape of the duchess at Mont St Michel as a traumatic hermeneutic that subtends the knights' attempts to establish their martial prowess. By thinking through this narrative's hyper-masculine suppression of feminine agency and desire, Allen-Goss offers a completely persuasive reconsideration of this poem as 'not anti-war but anti-rape' (p. 71). In Chapter Three, it becomes clear, there needs to be more than a foregrounding of women to render a plot revisionist. With his rethinking of the relicta motif in the 'Legend of Hipsiphyle and Medea,' Chaucer potentially queers Jason's faithlessness—unmooring him from conventional masculinity—in order to make space for women's desire. Despite the fact that Chaucer's 'Legend of Dido' expresses a more fluid form of feminine desire, Chaucer's poem codes her non-binarized attraction to Aeneas as deviant, and tumbles together Hipsiphyle's and Medea's betrayed expressions of desire for Jason in a way that diminishes the potential of the female masculinity it explores. Chapter Four, which analyzes the 'stony femininity' of Floripas in the Sowdone of Babylon, argues that this romance imagines the possibility of a woman whose desire is [End Page 95] not constituted in relation to masculine fantasies or demands. Rather than nightmares of women's affective and embodied fluidity, this romance instead charts the ways that an impenetrable feminine body produces desires that cannot be contained by masculinist fantasies of penetration or manipulation. It is only with his Thisbe, whom Allen-Goss considers alongside Ariadne in Chapter Five, that Chaucer creates a narrative of feminine innocence that might exceed the phallic logic that a masculinist hermeneutic demands. By reading these women's relation to veiling and reading, Chaucer's legends entertain the possibility of lesbian-like erotic that admits feminine desire through gaps and openings in edifices conventionally drawn to render women's bodies as available to men's sexual domination. By circumscribing the desire Chaucer associates with these women, these legends mark feminine eroticism as deviant in a way that assures Chaucer's own gendered authority. In Chapter Six, Allen-Goss turns to the late fifteenth-century romance, Undo Your Door, to argue that 'female sexuality [is] represented as a transgressive yet creative force, which . . . assembles its own objects of desire from inanimate materials and from mechanisms disturbingly reminiscent of the objects medieval writers associated with same-sex desire and female autoerotic satisfaction' (p. 166). By showing how women's desire is associated with inanimacy...

Ecology - "world through a small window"

The relationship between nature and society is inconceivable without the contradictions that inevitably arise and exist during the period of coexistence between them. The history of their common existence is the unity of two tendencies. First, with the development of society and its fertile forces, man's domination of nature is constantly and rapidly expanding and expanding, which is already evident today on a planetary scale. And secondly, contradictions and unscrupulous attitudes towards human nature are constantly deepening. Nature, in spite of the innumerable diversity of its components, is one whole. That is why the influence of a person on certain parts of an outwardly submissive and peaceful nature is simultaneous (against the will of man), on all its components. The consequences of this relationship are sometimes unpredictable. Deficiencies at the general level of culture, and the neglect of the laws and characteristics of the living world by generations, are unfortunately a harsh reality today. Bitter evidence of how stubbornly unwilling a person is to learn from their mistakes can be: misuse of forests, areas of land that have become unsuitable for agricultural use as a result of improper irrigation; Air - which is particularly dangerous to human health as a result of pollution - damages vital organs and so on. There are many examples to prove all this …

ETHICS OF KANT AND THE HERESY OF HUMAN WORSHIP.

The article examines Kant's understanding of ethics and the origin of his categories of morality. Particular attention is paid to the category of disgust, which is a kind of exception in Kantian ethics, since it is in no way derived from reason and the transcendental unity of apperception. Here Kant refers to feelings, and in general to some kind of irrational categories. The irrational category of disgust is used by Kant in those places where he argues the prohibition of suicide and the prohibition of such acts, which he characterized as “crimina carnis contra naturam”. Kant calls the prohibition of suicide the first ethical prohibition on which all obligations to oneself are based. Hence, it can be assumed that the rational Kantian ethics stands on a rather irrational foundation, which is the category of disgust. The prohibition of suicide is a basic Christian prohibition, Augustine calls it the most serious sin, since repentance is physically impossible here. It can be assumed that Kant in this case proceeds from such a dogmatic premise. But Kant himself argues this prohibition differently, pointing out that disgust is a distinguishing feature of man from other animals, therefore, the prohibition of suicide is a sign of man's dominance over other animals. This is more reminiscent of not canonical Christianity, but the old heresy of human worship, forbidden in the 4th century, in which opponents often accuse Protestant theologians

Nephrologists’ Perspectives on Gender Disparities in CKD and Dialysis

IntroductionGlobally, there are more women with chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet they comprise only 40% of patients receiving kidney replacement therapy by dialysis. We aimed to describe the perspectives of nephrologists on gender disparities in access to care and outcomes in CKD and dialysis.MethodsWe conducted semistructured interviews with 51 nephrologists (28, 55% women) from 22 countries from October 2019 to April 2020. Transcripts were analyzed thematically.ResultsWe identified 6 themes. Related to women were primary commitment to caregiving (with subthemes of coordinating care, taking charge of health management, deprioritizing own health, centrality of family in decision-making); vigilance and self-reliance (diligence and conscientiousness, stoicism and tolerating symptoms, avoiding burden on family, isolation and coping alone); and stereotyping, stigma, and judgment (body image, dismissed as anxiety, shame and embarrassment, weakness and frailty). Related to men was protecting masculinity (safeguarding the provider role, clinging to control, self-regard, and entitled). Decisional power and ownership included men’s dominance in decision-making and women’s analytical approach in treatment decisions. Inequities compounded by social disadvantage (financial and transport barriers, without social security, limited literacy, entrenched discrimination, vulnerability) were barriers to care for women, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities.ConclusionNephrologists perceived that women with CKD faced many challenges in accessing care related to social norms and roles of caregiving responsibilities, disempowerment, lack of support, stereotyping by clinicians, and entrenched social and economic disadvantage. Addressing power differences, challenging systemic patriarchy, and managing unconscious bias may help to improve equitable care and outcomes for all people with CKD.
