Each of these issues is introduced by a brief gender analysis. Numerous case studies illustrate what local governments can do. Reflection questions and training exercises help trainers to develop successful training events. [...] [The manual] is designed as a companion to other UN-HABITAT training tools, providing local government trainers with the background and tested training methods they need to strengthen the gender dimension in their day-to-day training activities. The source book may also be used as a stand-alone tool, introducing local governments to gender issues and their importance for local government policy-making and project implementation." -- P. iv.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to social and economic factors, gender inequality persists in society requiring initiatives for women empowerment. It is vital that government policies are gender-sensitive incorporating the elements of gender-disaggregated data, gender-based demography, gender-based tasks and gender equality resulting in women empowerment. The review of relevant literature, official documents and international/regional/national policies [descriptive and analytical methodology] reveal the lack of participation by women in political decision-making, especially at grass-roots level. The reasons could be, inter alia, the lack of skills, capacities, household responsibilities, societal pressure and cultural beliefs. This nature of constraints can be overcome through building women's capacity for improved political involvement in local governance [a hypothetical statement]. In order to find solutions, the article raises the following questions for [on-going] debate and discussion: What is the magnitude of gender-awareness in political decision-making in municipalities? To what extent are gender equity policies implemented at grass-roots level? Are municipalities acknowledging the need to empower women? Are there any initiatives in place to capacitate women to ensure participation in decision-making processes? There are diverse arguments on this issue. The strong augmentation emphasizes the significance of the normative approach that supports public participation as a form of transformation. Another augmentation stresses the instrumental approach supporting the political decentralization for participatory decision-making at grass-roots level. In order to find answers to the above questions, the article investigates at the status of women in South African local governance [political context]. The article utilizes an empowerment approach of the feminist theory. The empowerment approach has its own indicators for measurement varying from individual to collective at micro and macro levels. The micro level symbolizes an individual seeking progression from subjugation to an evolutionary personality. The macro level symbolizes the institutions/authorities/regulations taking relevant decisions regarding progression of individuals. In this article, the micro level, that is, the individuals, are women seeking empowerment and recognition, while the macro levels are municipalities (organizations), authorities (political office-bearers), and regulations (gender equality policies and programmes). The article recommends that it is vital to review and revise existing constitutional, political, legislative and regulatory frameworks, including electoral systems, to remove provisions that hinder women's equal participation in the decision-making processes. To facilitate research on the conditions under which women representation is enhanced in political parties, parliament and government at all spheres is significant. The government must ensure monitoring and evaluation of the participation and representation of women in the decision-making processes. At the political level, the parties must review and revise their manifesto and structures to accommodate the participation of women. To enhance the participation of women in political decision-making, a quota on gender is being considered as an important policy measure. At the social level, there is a need to change attitudes that should include: the culture of local government needs to be reviewed to ensure that women are treated fairly and equally; discrimination against women is unacceptable; gender awareness programmes for men and women need to be developed; and opportunities need to be availed to women as soon as they are elected so that they can learn about local government, governance and receive the required support.

Download or read book Women's Voice in Local Government Bodies of Bangladesh written by Mumita Tanjeela and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's empowerment process can not be completed without political empowerment. Political empowerment includes representation, participation and taking part in decision making process within formal political structures. Local government institutions in Bangladesh have opened potential spaces for rural women in this regard. From 1997 onwards, thousands of women have left their household chores to be a part of the political system after introducing election system for women seats. Alongside the government many development partners, such as NGOs, Women's organizations and civil society, came forward to meet up the challenges faced by women as new members of the political realm. This has certainly opened the window of the Women's voice in the Decision Making Process from the grass root level of Bangladesh. This will surely be a big step of a Sustainable Development.
Download or read book Voice and Agency written by Jeni Klugman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.

Book Synopsis Electoral Engineering by : Pippa Norris
Download or read book Electoral Engineering written by Pippa Norris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Kosovo to Kabul, the last decade witnessed growing interest in ?electoral engineering?. Reformers have sought to achieve either greater government accountability through majoritarian arrangements or wider parliamentary diversity through proportional formula. Underlying the normative debates are important claims about the impact and consequences of electoral reform for political representation and voting behavior. The study compares and evaluates two broad schools of thought, each offering contracting expectations. One popular approach claims that formal rules define electoral incentives facing parties, politicians and citizens. By changing these rules, rational choice institutionalism claims that we have the capacity to shape political behavior. Alternative cultural modernization theories differ in their emphasis on the primary motors driving human behavior, their expectations about the pace of change, and also their assumptions about the ability of formal institutional rules to alter, rather than adapt to, deeply embedded and habitual social norms and patterns of human behavior.
