- Description
- This book provides a systematic scientific overview of gender mainstreaming in Europe. It recalls the main steps of the origins and the development of the European gender mainstreaming (GM) strategy. The book also connects this framework with the current situation of gender equality and explores the strength and weak points of the strategy. To do so, it provides a critical evaluation of the instruments used to measure gender equality and explores how societal aspects, such as the opportunity structure defined by work-family balance policies and practices, affect the individual values of gender equality supporting the development of gender egalitarian cultures. Further, it develops an outline of the current and future challenges of the gender mainstreaming strategy, that run in parallel with the general European Union’s challenges, such as the integration process, economic crisis, migration and refugees crisis, and the rise of right-wing Euroscepticism. In addition, the current problem of conceptualizing gender equality in different ways leading to jeopardized results.

- Description
- Follow-up study of the research project Prostitution i Norden. It focuses on knowledge about young people’s experiences of sex for compensation in the Nordic countries. Of each country (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) are described the existing knowledge about such experiences, the way social initiatives address young people' needs for selling sex and relevant legal measures. Although young people in prostitution are vulnerable, results show that the Nordic countries offer few specifically targeted social initiatives to this group.

- Description
- This report gives an overview of the laws on sexual violence in the fifteen countries of the former Soviet Union. It analyses gaps in the law allowing for potential impunity for perpetrators of sexual violence crimes. It also looks at related crimes, such as bride kidnapping and forced marriage, to understand how they contribute to enabling impunity for perpetrators. Results show that rape and sexual assault related laws and practices of the 15 countries of the former Soviet Union effectively deny access to justice for survivors of sexual violence.

- Description
- The author uses historical evidence to shed light on South Africa's contemporary epidemic of sexual violence. Drawing on over a thousand cases from a diverse set of courts, she reconstructs the history of rape in South Africa's Eastern Cape, from the precolonial era to the triumph of legal and sexual segregation. . .The author also digs into questions of conceptions of sexual consent. Demonstrated are the political stakes of disputes over sexual consent and the ways in which debates over the regulation of sexuality shaped both white and black politics in this period. The political history of rape illuminates not only South Africa's contemporary crisis of sexual violence, but the entangled histories of law, sexuality and politics across the globe.

- Description
- De publicatie biedt inzicht in de manier waarop de keuzes van vrouwen op het gebied van werkgelegenheid en ondernemerschap worden beïnvloed door wettelijke discriminatie op grond van geslacht door tien jaar gegevens over vrouwen, bedrijven en wetgeving te onderzoeken. De Wereldbank heeft onderzoek gedaan naar de indicatoren van wettelijke gelijkwaardigheid in 187 landen. Daarbij werd gekeken naar onder meer regels rondom eigendom van onroerend goed, erfenissen, bescherming van werkgelegenheid, beloning, pensioenen, huwelijk en persoonlijke veiligheid. In slechts zes landen blijken mannen en vrouwen volgens de wet volledig gelijkwaardig te zijn. Daar krijgen vrouwen alle kansen en hebben ze alle rechten en beschermingen die mannen ook krijgen (en andersom): België, Denemarken, Frankrijk, Litouwen, Luxemburg en Zweden.

- Description
- Collection of reports of European network of legal experts in gender equality and nondiscrimination on recent national case law and good practices on equal pay. These reports provide both insight into the .developments and the shortcomings of the enforcement of the equal pay principle in practice. First of all there is a lack of public availability of national case law on the equal pay principle between women and men. The lack of pay transparency might play a role in the limited number of legal proceedings on equal pay matters. Besides, the concept of positive action does not always seem to be well understood. In many countries, equality bodies play an active role in the enforcement of equal pay at national level. The reported examples on good practices show how diverse the initiatives at national level are, and illustrate a trend towards more obligatory measures aimed at employers.
