- Description
- This book assesses the scale and scope of transformations in family life and their implications for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The world as well as families, and the role of women and girls within them, are changing. The report approaches families as institutions where both cooperation (solidarity and love) and conflict (inequality and violence) coexist. It explains how unequal outcomes within families are influenced by family members’ unequal power to negotiate. It also highlights the contribution of social support systems, such as women’s rights organizations, and progressive social norms. The report provides policy recommendations in order to support families and meet the needs of their members.

- The Moon, or more precisely the nomenclature of lunar craters, still holds up a mirror to an important aspect of human history. Of the 1586 craters that have been named honoring philosophers and scientists, only 28 honor a woman. These 28 women of the Moon present us with an opportunity to meditate on this gap, but perhaps more significantly, they offer us an opportunity to talk about their lives, mostly unknown today.

- Description
- Wie bepaalt wat er wordt herinnerd en herdacht, en waarom? In deze publicatie laat de auteur zich inspireren door het historisch haast onzichtbare bestaan van homo’s en queers. Ze toont de kracht van vergeten en vraagt zich af óf en hoe het mogelijk is om zonder verleden te leven. Tegelijkertijd bekritiseert de auteur hoe een ‘wit geheugen’ - ook dat van haarzelf - bepaalde verhalen vanzelfsprekend acht, terwijl andere geschiedenissen worden uitgewist.

- Description
- This book explores the extent to which gendered approaches are evident and effective in spatial development in selected European countries. Beginning with an introduction to theories and concepts of gender, space and development, the book includes a brief historical review of gender in spatial planning and development throughout Europe in general, and an overview of different national frameworks in European countries, comparing legal, organisational and cultural similarities and differences. This is followed by a reflection on how simplifications and stereotypes of gender concepts are used in the practice of spatial development. The main part of the book offers a transnational discussion of planning practices on selected thematic topics. It starts with gender-sensitivity in urban master planning and at neighbourhood level referring to different types of planning manuals. Furthermore, the book focuses on gender-sensitive evaluation in urban planning as well as international agendas for sustainable development as a framework for a new generation of gender equality policies.

- Description
- This book explores the pleasures and perils of being LHBTQ+ in the West. Though the options and freedoms for LGBTQ+ people living in the West are greater than ever before, the question is at what cost this acceptance has come and who is left behind, particularly where LGBTQ+ rights are not enough promoted and supported. The author searches for answers to these challenges as well as to the broader question of what it means to be queer in 2019 worldwide. To illustrate this she describes her emotions at the first same-sex marriage in Britain, her experiences at both the world's biggest drag queen festival in Los Angeles and Pride parades across Europe and her visit to a transgender model agency.

- Description
- The author uses ethnographic investigation of everyday veiling practices among Muslim women in the city of Helsinki, Finland, as a lens through which to reflect on and advance understanding of matters concerning Muslim dress in international Muslim minorities contexts. She is connecting varied realms of practice, demonstrating how domains such as fashion, materiality, city spaces and gendered spatial behaviour, private life, religious beliefs, and cosmopolitan social conditions are bound up together. The empirical chapters are based on interviews with forty-six Muslim women based in Helsinki, comprising Finnish converts (frequently through marriage to Muslim migrants), Somalis, Shi’a Afghanis, Shi’a Iranians and Shi’a Iraqi women.

It considers the possibilities and challenges that arise in counting intimate femicide.
