- Description
- In this anniversary edition to celebrate the 35th jubilee of LOVA the focus is on etnographies of gender and the body. Irma Beusink presented a paper at he LOVA conference in Amsterdam, July 2014, using metaphors to analyze differences within feminisms and their translations into the governmental policies and political statements of indigenous women's organizations in Bolivia. Breast cancer is the second most frequent cancer in the world and a mastectomy is the main method of treatment. Mastectomized women must reconstruct the way that they express their femininity and the symbols that identify them. In El Salvador significant changes in social life have occurred due to the levels of violence that the maras, or transnational street gangs, have generated. How adolescent women living in mara-controlled territories associate themselves with the maras and how their associations impact their sexuality and life strategy choices are discussed by Edith Yesenia Pena Sánches en Mónica Paola Zúniga Escobar. Authors describe the corporeality of an ethnographic view of morbid obesity, technoscience and identity by analyzing the story of a woman with morbid obesity in Mexico City. Anorexia nervosa as a health problem shows a prevalence of 0.5 to 5% in Mexico and it is mainly shown in adolescent and young adult women. In his paper Matthew W Maycock shows certain forms of competition and the denial of pain, both of which are integral to being rickshaw drivers, in light of their implications for masculine bodies and performances. The last 10 years has seen an increase in traditional bride abduction (ukuthwala) cases in South Africa. Recent cases share the common element of sexual violence of under-aged girls by much older men, or even groups of men. Diana Dubrovska takes a look at female sex tourism in the Caribbean and Latin America. In her paper Heather Tucker considers the contemporary Euro-American and European interests and outrage over the 'barbarity' of anti-homosexuality legislation in countries in Africa. Ourania Tsiakalou pays attention to the massive detentions of trans women that took place in Greece as well as some other instances of transphobia, as it was presented in the media and in the public sphere.

- Description
- Deze bundel reflecteert vanuit diverse invalshoeken op het leven van kinderen in slavernij. Het historische deel beschrijft welke rol kinderen in de slavernij en slavenhandel speelden en wat het slavenleven voor hen betekende. De bijdragen betreffen voornamelijk Suriname, Curacao en Aruba tussen de 17e en 19e eeuw. Het laatste historische hoofdstuk gaat over de rol van zwarte kinderen in de Nederlandse schilderkunst. De bundel sluit af met drie bijdragen over hedendaagse kinderslavernij, met praktijkvoorbeelden uit West-Afrika en India. Het boek maakt samen met de website www.kindaandeketting.nl, een tentoonstelling en bijbehorend lesmateriaal onderdeel uit van het project 'Opgroeien in slavernij, toen en nu' van het Nationaal instituut Nederlands slavernijverleden en erfenis (NiNsee).

- Description
- This report provides an overview of situations of women in the MENA region after 2011. Despite of achievements and improvements in women's lives in health and education, there is less progress in women's participation on the labour market, in politics and the civil society. The report not only examines the impact of the conflicts and the political opportunities after the 2011 Arab uprisings, but also focuses on the situation of LGBT persons. It proposes an approach that balances the ethical demands of individual and collective rights as well as a liberal position supporting women’s and LGBT rights.

- Description
- Met de VN-millenniumdoelen willen de leden van de Verenigde Naties gezamenlijk ontwikkelingslanden helpen bij onder meer hun strijd tegen armoede en honger, kinder- en moedersterfte. Van de 13 landen met de hoogste moedersterfte liggen er 12 in Afrika ten zuiden van de Sahara. De meeste doelen moeten in 2015 worden gehaald. Dat zal maar ten dele lukken. Sommige gebieden zijn er inmiddels slechter aan toe dan voorheen.

- Description
- 'This report has attempted to give voice to grassroots women in the complex political and consensus building process that will result in the post-2015 development framework. In doing this ACORD aims to ensure that women’s contributions form the basis of the recommendations and resolutions that will be adopted on gender equality and women’s empowerment. While a number of the grassroots voices portray women as victims, other voices captured herein espouse women’s agency. For ACORD, this balance is very important in the debate on women’s empowerment. The reality of many grassroots women is indeed that of inhibited freedoms. Conceptually, our argument is that women’s demonstrated capacities to lead and make decisions is the basis on which they should be supported as power-dispensers and decision makers at all levels.'
