- Description
- In promising women equal citizenship rights and promoting gender equality, Turkey's recent welfare reforms appear to address fundamental problems-the patriarchal system limits women's lives to their roles as wives and mothers, and their labor to informal and unskilled sectors. Yet these policies, guided by the process of accession to the European Union, have conflicting outcomes for women. The reforms sweep away historic support structures and deem women 'equal citizens' without adequate interventions in legal and social frameworks, thus increasing their vulnerability. The AKP's neo-liberal policies and rising Islamic movements further weaken the reform process.

- Description
- South Asia’s significant water resources are unevenly distributed, with about a fifth of the population lacking adequate access. Across the region water determines livelihoods and in sometimes survival.Water access depends on power relations and politics. The contributors show how gender intersects with other axes of social difference such as class, caste, ethnicity, age, and religion, to shape water use and management practices. They demonstrate that gender issues are the key to understanding and improving water distribution and management practices in the region.
