- Civil society has become a very popular term in the past several decades, in particular in connection to the political, social and economic developments in post Socialist Russia. Discussions and debates concerning the development of civil society in this country are vivid and various. This thesis contributes to these discussions and debates by providing a case study of women’s organisations in a Russian region that has so far not been explored extensively. The organisations in this sample have been observed and interviewed in the light of the question what their contribution to the development of civil society and empowerment of women have been in the past twenty years.

- Description
- The aim of this thesis is to establish what the role of women but mainly that of men as gendered beings is in the process of women’s empowerment. In this, the author argues that in the process of women’s empowerment, men, as the more powerful, do not have to be ‘the problem’. Instead, she believes that, by understanding the role of men in the process of women’s empowerment, without neglecting the role of women themselves, men can become part of the solution when eliminating gender inequality.

- Description
- This research contains a FEMEN activists personal account. Including a retrospective diary, resulting from the activity of the author in FEMEN between 2012 and 2014, she suggests how FEMEN employs sextremism to create soldiers of feminism. Her research proposes that sextremism is an attitude, a way of life and technology of resistance. She explains how she reproduced sextremism through body image that made her assertive and empowered her in action. She also observes that the media appropriated the spectacle created by FEMEN Netherlands but often distorted it and bend the news to fit its own agenda. In addition, the media criticized FEMEN Netherlands for cross-passing national values and power symbols.

- Description
- This research looks at different narratives about the abortion law in Poland and the development of it. The abortion law in Poland has had a long and diverse history and the Church has had a great role in how Polish society thinks of it. Author argues that the Church and other pro-life movements use a specific rhetoric in the debate to influence peoples opinion on abortion. The second argument is that women’s agency is taken away by making abortion illegal. Women’s movements are discussed ass well, and how they try to be taken seriously and get their place in the debate. To show how the matter takes form in real life, the Tysiac case will be discussed. This is an example of how hard it is made for women to get access to abortion, even if they are legally entitled to it. Bachelor thesis.

- The purpose of this study is to examine gender bias and stereotypes in history books used in group 5 of Dutch elementary schools. Nine books from six different publishers were sampled that have been used during the school year 2015-2016. Activities of each character from these books are examined individually by looking at the type of activity, the posture of the individual, the position in the frame and the locality. Men are overrepresented in general, portrayed in diverse, active and public roles. Women, children and the elderly are underrepresented, and often in gender stereotypical manners. With a sunnary in Dutch.
