The status of black women in the United States
This report analyzes data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia across six topical areas that affect women’s lives: political participation, employment and earnings, work and family, poverty and opportunity, health and well-being, and violence and safety. Within each of these areas, various indicators of well-being are explored. While the focus of the report is on the status of Black women, comparisons between Black women and other racial and ethnic groups of women (and men) are presented to contextualize the data. Basic demographic data for each state are also provided. The report concludes with recommendations to improve the status of Black women in the United States.- Creator

Women and gender in the Middle East & North Africa
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.- Creator

Gender equality: striving for justice in an unequal world [themanummer]
This issue is devoted to areas of concern articulated in the Beijing Platform for Action. The report 'Gender Equality: Striving for Justice in an Unequal World' presents the results of research and analysis concerning macroeconomics, well-being and gender equality: women, work and social policy: women in politics and public life: and gender, armed conflict and the search for peace. The transition of women in politics to advance for gender equality issues and women-friendly policies depends on the effectiveness of women's movements in holding governments accountable, and gender-sensitive good governance. Women's economic activity rates have been rising in most part of the world, yet labour market continue to be segmented by gender. The intensification of women's paid work has been paralleled by a deterioration in the terms and conditions of work. Attention is being paid to civic and political participation of women in Central and Eastern Europe and the challenges of equality and difference.- Creator

Sociale atlas van vrouwen uit etnische minderheden
Deze Sociale atlas van vrouwen uit etnische minderheden biedt een breed en diepgaand zicht op de maatschappelijke positie en participatie van deze vrouwen. De volgende thema's komen aan de orde: onderwijs, betaalde arbeid, de combinatie van betaalde arbeid en zorg, inkomens, gezondheid, geweld tegen meisjes en vrouwen, vrijetijdsbesteding, deelname aan de 'civil society' en politieke participatie. De meeste aandacht gaat daarbij uit naar vrouwen uit de vier grootste groepen allochtonen: Turken, Marokkanen, Surinamers en Antillianen. Maar bij sommige onderwerpen komen ook enkele grote, zogenaamde 'nieuwe' groepen aan bod: Afghanen, Irakezen, Iraniërs, Joegoslaven en Somaliërs. De groepen vrouwen worden steeds onderling én met autochtone vrouwen vergeleken, evenals met de mannen uit de eigen etnische groep. De atlas levert beschrijvingen en verklaringen van verschillen tussen groepen. Er is nagegaan of de huidige situatie verschilt met wat de Nederlandse regering in haar emancipatiebeleid voor ogen heeft.- Creator
