- Description
- The vision for this special issue on 'Women's Bodies, Gender Analysis, and Feminist Politics at the Forum Social Mundial' emerged out of experiences that co-editors Pat Willis and Laura Roskos had during and after their involvement in organizing for the Boston Social Forum (BSF), an event held in July 2004. The decision to try to discover how other women/feminists had experienced and negotiated social fora around the globe was fueled by the need to create a deeper context for understanding these experiences and emotions.

- Description
- Gender functions as a construct of evolving aspects of women's identities and is a medium through which expectations are prescribed, social norms are formed and power relations are negiotiated. Gender constructs that hinder women's access to the public spheres of society lessen the possibility for equitable and empowering life conditions. Facilitating women's entry into political bodies across the world is also compromised by persistent obstacles in women's opportunities in both political and private spheres of life. This paper engages female and male panchayat members in rural Gujarat, India. The main goal is to understand how being a woman affects access to political office, experiences therein, negotiation procedures and decision taken. Facilitating female representation in local governmental structures (a panchayat) through a quota represents one of many routes toward empowerment and one potential means of improving health and household welfare. When empowerment is examined within India's panchayat quota, dimensions such as gender and corresponding perceptions, norms and conditions evidence the middle of gender as a persistent fault-line in number-based initiatives. The panchayat mirrors gendered social realities, demonstrating how complex the processes of substantial democratic political participation and women's empowerment are, in India and elsewhere.

- Description
- Authors examine a guar bean-growing project in Makachi area, Zimbabwe. The study objectives were to determine ownership of resources, time spent on production and access to information by male-headed and female-headed households. Data collection and analysis were based on the FAO Gender Analysis Framework. Results showed that male-headed households had more ownership of resources and spent less time on production: access to information was equal: female-headed households allocated a greater proportion of their land to guar bean production and matched their male counterparts in the mean yield. While inter-household exchanges helped female-headed households access draft power and farming equipment, obligations associated with these exchanges were found to be a source of overburden to female-headed households.
