- Description
- This article examines whether a gender mainstreaming approach in the Italian collective bargaining system, combined with legislative measures, may improve the situation of women in the context of both public and private spheres. In particular, it looks at whether gender mainstreaming has the potential to pave the way towards an ethos of substantive equality at the workplace, whereby women enter the workforce on equal terms and men are in a position to share the dual responsibilities of paid and unpaid work.

- Description
- The author argues how the Portuguese legal system’s efforts to determine paternity of children born outside legal marriage, automatically initiated by the Registry Office when a birth registration does not indicate the father, reveal cultural models which reinforce the naturalisation of the differences between mothers and fathers, with significant effects on the social construction of parental roles and on expectations of family organisation and female sexual behaviour.

It examines the place of Solomon Islands women in society historically, with particular reference to war and peace: their current status from a legal perspective, looking at the existing Constitution, the proposed Federal Constitution and relevant aspects of international law: whether gender equity provisions are sufficient to promote participation at a practical level. The article discusses the effectiveness of international, regional and local initiatives, designed to enhance the status of women.

- Description
- The author examines two modalities of law, depicted spatially as the vertical and the horizontal. She questions why vertical law is problematic for feminists, what the theoretical characteristics of law in its horizontal register are and how an appreciation of this ÔÇÿflatÔÇÖ law is useful for feminist legal theory and practice. In particular, she considers ways in which feminist legal theory operating in the horizontal dimension can transgress the vertically determined perimeters of the nation state.

- Description
- Contains: a paper -based on a lecture- by Charlesworth examining the way that women's relationship to peace is constructed in international institutions and international law, and two commentaries on Charlesworth's text. Kouvo and Levine argue that wars and peace processes are inherently gendered affairs and as a consequence a focus on equality as a basis for women's participation in peace processes remains challenging. Lockett describes strategies used by women's organisations internationally to ensure their participation, voice and rights and argues that both a human rights approach and a gender analysis are required in approaching peace-building.
