- Description
- Studies focusing exclusively on the connection between Arab Muslim women's educational pursuits and their gender perceptions, and how their gender perceptions may have changed as a result of living in two different cultures, are rarely conducted. Additionally, the factors that may influence an Arab Muslim woman's educational pursuits seem seldom investigated. This article is highlighting some factors that may influence Arab Muslim women's gender perceptions. In researching Arab Muslim women's experiences, I considered the diversity and multiplicity of their race, ethnicity, class, and experience. How Arab Muslim women construct the gender aspect of their identities and how these identities may have changed or shifted as a result of living in Canada and attending Canadian educational institutions is explored. The cultural and religious reproduction of gender socialization is a major part of the analysis in this article.

- This article attempts to show how similar female leadership principles are employed in the Educational Leadership and Change (ELC) at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, United States of America. It is important to note that ELC has not attained all of its goals, but is a work in progress. Nonetheless, both its successes and its goals are operational models for what can be and for how institutions can return to the wisdom embedded in the indigenous worldview.

- Description
- Because of international womens day on March 8th, this issue is dedicated to Palestinian women and their role in society. The Palestinian woman has always worked alongside her male partner, especially in rural settings, also in times of war and peace. The new Hamas dominated Council also has its share of women deputies. In this issue attention for Palestinian community-based women's empowerment programme Sabaya. Sabaya is a programme that focuses on protecting rural women from insecurity and using empowerment as a tool for increasing independence of these women. Khalil Nakhleh reports of the course she offered in the Master's programme in 'Gender, Law, and Development,' at the Institute of Women Studies at Birzeit University. Rima Tarazi writes about the General Union of Palestinian Women. The Women's Affairs Centre (WAC) is an organization mainly concerned with improving the role of women in Palestinian society, particularly in the Gaza Strip. The WAC operates to challenge the relatively-wide understanding in society, for lack of being informed otherwise, that the way women are sometimes treated is normal and fine. Women make a major contribution to the well-being and sustainable development of their communities and nations, and to the maintenance of the earth's ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) concentrated on bridging gender gaps in education in absolute figures. Without a strong commitment to gender equality, drop out rates will increase because of early marriage. Women's political participation will decrease and their economic participation will remain limited. The most serious challenge during the last 10 years has been the inner transformation of the Palestinian women's movement from a grassroots struggle to an elite phenomenon. Presently midwives constitute 3.4% of the health providers in Palestine. There are 16,935 health providers in the health sector, of whom only 574 are midwives. The core of protecting women's rights and achievements in Palestine lies in the necessity of involving women in the democratic process. While Hamas's gender ideology rests on religious idioms, it is nonetheless possible to demonstrate that it is in continuous flux. This is due to ordinary socioeconomic factors and as a reaction to the challenge presented by the discourse with feminist nationalist and secular women, as well as Islamist women’s activism within the movement.

- Quality and equality of education are still at the core of the education debate in Palestine. While many experts agree on the need to improve the quality of education, including content, tools and expertise, there are many claims that equality has been achieved, especially at the basic education level

- Description
- The Cameroon woman has for long been the economic backbone of the nation, yet she remains largely marginalized in society generally and in the economic sector in particular. The cumulative effects of the interplay of gender discrimination of traditional African and Western colonial as well as neo– colonial systems on the general status of the Cameroon woman has been enormous. As this paper reveals, in modern times, more Cameroon women have become more dependent on men economically than in pre-colonial or traditional times. It is true that modernization has wrought some good for Cameroon women, but this article shows that the ills of modernization far outweigh the good wrought by modernization in Cameroon. The end result is that in modern Cameroon women occupy economically precarious positions at the lower echelons of the socio-economic scale. Women's limited access to and lack of control over resources such as education and bank loans that are more readily available to Cameroon men has led to the further decline of women's economic status in modern Cameroon. The vast majority of Cameroon women, regardless of educational level, find themselves in a disadvantaged position in the economic sphere. The overwhelming historical evidence presented in this paper is testimony to the above fact. In turn this pattern has had grave consequences for the country's overall development.

- The agenda at the G8 Summit in 2006 was global energy security, the fight against infectious diseases and education. All these focus areas have implications for the realization of women's rights, although the G8's primary objectives may not have much to do with the universal realization of human rights.

- Growing evidence shows that getting and keeping young people in school, particularly girls, dramatically lowers their vulnerability to HIV. By itself, merely attending primary school makes young people significantly less likely to contract HIV. When young people stay in school through the secondary level, education's protective effect against HIV is even more pronounced. This is especially true for girls who, with each additional year of education, gain greater independence, are better equipped to make decisions affecting their sexual lives, and have higher income earning potential .

- Description
- Author presents the perceptions, attitudes and views of a group of Ahmadi women in Southern California through the eyes of their local leader. The specific focus is on ways in which Ahmadi women engage in cultural/religious community building within a racially and ethnically hostile environment since 9/11. Of particular concern are ways in which gender norms are reflected in Ahmadi women’s push toward formal and cultural education in their efforts to maintain their faith, culture and sense of community as they interface with the broader U.S. society. Given the current anti-Islamic climate in the U.S., the Ahmadis offer an interesting basis for comprehending the diversity among Muslims as well as illustrating how one Islamic group is locally constructed in the global politics of the West.
