- Description
- While the significance of motherhood varies across cultures, it is connected to religion, nationality, gender, and sexuality. Reproduction is central to the perceived floroushing of any nation or culture, and thus motherhood is a major signifier of the connections between women and the state. States enact laws limiting who can bear children, initiating and supporting mass sterilization efforts, legislate access to assisted reproductive technologies, adoption, and government support for parenting. .The guiding theoretical idea in this volume is that motherhood matters in global politics. By illuminating and interrogating representations and narratives of maternity, this volume shows how practices of global politics shape and are shaped by the gendered norms and institutions that underpin motherhood. Featuring innovative and intersectional interrogations of the politics of motherhood as an institution, this collection shows that maternality is troubled, complicated, and heterogeneous in global politics.

- Description
- This publication serves as a knowledge base to understand and enforce action concerning gender-based violence (GBV) and environmental issues. It argues that gender-based abuse is observed across environmental contexts and affects the security of communities and the realisation of sustainable development goals (SDGs). The analysis shows the interlinking nature of GBV across three main contexts: access to and control of natural resources (land, forests, agriculture, water and fisheries): environmental pressure and threats (environmental crimes, extractive industries and agribusiness and climate change and weather-related disasters): and environmental action to defend and conserve ecosystems and resources (women environmental human rights defenders, environmental projects and environmental workplaces). The publication focuses on awareness and engagement of actors working in environmental and sustainable development, gender equality and GBV policymaking to apply rights-based, gender-responsive approaches to environmental policy, programmes and projects. The publication contains a list of case studies.

- Description
- The COVID-19 pandemic unfolds in a world already experiencing a hunger crisis. The effects of the pandemic show the existing flaws in food systems. Most of them stem from gender inequalities and unfair treatment of women and girls, who are the majority of food producers and food providers for their households. However, their contributions are frequently unseen. Despite their bariers, women and girls already take initiative to meet COVID-19-related challenges. This CARE analysis provides global policy recommendations, argueing that involving women and girls is good for food systems as well as for pandemic responses generally.

- Description
- This study analyzes the current levels of gender inequality in fourteen legacy industries, mostly male-dominated and having large environmental, health, and social impacts. Through data analysis and interviews, this study demonstrates how greater gender diversity can facilitate and accelerate transformation in male-dominated legacy industries. Besides it explains which factors hinder gender diversity. Finally, it presents best practices and provides recoomendations. In order to achieve greater gender parity, the authors argue that it is crucial to eliminate harmful gender stereotypes and biases rooted in industry and company cultures.
