- Description
- A close analysis of current policy and practice shows that organizations providing improved water supplies to poor communities typically neglect the gendered nature of access to and control over water resources. The resulting gender bias causes inefficiencies and injustices in water provision and reduces the effectiveness of well-meant efforts. This book shows how in different environmental, historical and cultural contexts gender has been an important element in water provision. It draws on a wide range of material, analyzed from different disciplinary perspectives. Case studies include analysis of the role of water in inhibiting the fight against HIV/AIDS in southern Africa and the challenges of taking gender into account in large water projects in India and Nepal.

- Description
- The Nordic countries have long been seen as pioneers in promoting gender equality. The book brings together scholars from the global South and post-socialist economies to reflect on Nordic approaches to gender equality. The contributors to the book seek to explore from a comparative perspective the vision, values, policies, mechanisms, coalitions of interests and political processes that help to explain Nordic achievements on gender equality. While some contributors explore the Nordic experience through the prism of their own realities, others explore their own realities through the Nordic prism.

- Description
- This edited volume brings together six case studies about the need for better organizing work and trade so as to bargain for better wages and working conditions in a number of developing countries. Three link local producers with global markets : a cocoa cooperative of 54,000 producers in Ghana who are co-owners of a chocolate company in the UK: family-based cooperatives in Samoa which produce organic virgin coconut oil for export: and small enterprises in Mozambique which are helping to regenerate the cashew processing and export industry. three focus on improving the working conditions of the hundreds of thousands of wage workers in global value chains : those in the fruit exporting industry in South Africa: those in the garment export industry in Bangladesh: and those in the newly created call centres in India.

- Description
- Gender and development theory and analysis is replete with implicit assumptions that women's entry into the world of paid work will positively affect their status both in the household and in the public sphere. Until recently the debate on global factories and export production has remained focused on women's individual experience of export employment- and the extent to which this represents a positive opportunity or gross exploitation. In spite of the extended discussion of rights and citizenship in the global economy, little attention has hitherto been paid to the implications for women's entitlements arising out of their pivotal role in export sectors. Whilst many assume that women's visible and crucial presence in key economic sectors will be reflected in the ways in which social policies are formulated, there has been up to now little empirical and analytical engagement with this question. This volume, bringing together detailed commissioned studies from six developing countries, aims to fill this gap.

- Description
- Uit 'World report on violence and health' van de World Health Organisation (2002) blijkt dat geweld wereldwijd één van de voornaamste doodsoorzaken is voor personen tussen de vijftien en vierenveertig jaar. Linda Mans bezocht Kaapstad, Zuid-Afrika, in 2005 voor een cursus 'gender and health' en kwam er achter dat de resultaten van haar onderzoek naar geweld tegen tienermeiden in Zuid-Afrika, bijna tien jaar geleden, nog steeds actueel is. Mans gaat in op de genderaspecten van geweld tegen jonge vrouwen in een omgeving waar bendes actief zijn. Jill Bradley onderzocht de verbeelding van de dood in middeleeuwse miniaturen en handschriften. De dood van de ziel werd als mannelijk gezien, de dood van het lichaam als vrouwelijk. Bradley tracht de redenen daarvoor te achterhalen. Sterre Gielen ging na waarom mensen in Mumbai, India, liever een zoon dan een dochter hebben. Marije Rosing stelt de vanzelfsprekendheid van de tegenstelling tussen 'typisch vrouwelijke' eigenschappen en het uitvoeren van terroristische acties ter discussie.
