Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From language and clothes, to toys and the media, society inflicts unwritten rules on each gender from birth. Aiming to make people aware of the way gender is constructed and constantly reinforced, this diary chronicles the differences two parents noticed while raising their son and daughter. Adapted from tweets and blogs the couple kept throughout parenthood, this collection shows how culture, family and even the authors themselves are part of the 'gender police' that can influence a child's identity, and offers ideas for how we can work together to challenge the gender stereotypes that are ingrained in our society.
Book Synopsis The Gender and Security Agenda by : Chantal de Jonge Oudraat
Download or read book The Gender and Security Agenda written by Chantal de Jonge Oudraat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the gender dimensions of a wide array of national and international security challenges. The volume examines gender dynamics in ten issue areas in both the traditional and human security sub-fields: armed conflict, post-conflict, terrorism, military organizations, movement of people, development, environment, humanitarian emergencies, human rights, governance. The contributions show how gender affects security and how security problems affect gender issues. Each chapter also examines a common set of key factors across the issue areas: obstacles to progress, drivers of progress and long-term strategies for progress in the 21st century. The volume develops key scholarship on the gender dimensions of security challenges and thereby provides a foundation for improved strategies and policy directions going forward. The lesson to be drawn from this study is clear: if scholars, policymakers and citizens care about these issues, then they need to think about both security and gender. This will be of much interest to students of gender studies, security studies, human security and International Relations in general.

Book excerpt: We all have frames, the lenses through which we understand ourselves, each other, and even how we read the Bible and view God. Mostly we are unaware of them, they lie underneath our outward behaviours and form our language - until something happens that doesn't fit with our tightly held convictions. We can choose to echo what others have said and either squeeze this experience into our fortified frame with rhetoric to justify it - or we can get deliberate about 'eyes wide open' theology - and be utterly surprised to find bigger more life-giving pictures. Tradition and precedent have played an inordinate role in forming our views of men and women. The unconscious and conscious tradition of male spiritual headship has had dire consequences not only in the church, but in our world. It doesn't work because it doesn't emulate the behaviours, produce the outcomes nor reflect the spirit of the message we seek to faithfully embrace. Our best hope is to do what religion was always supposed to do - help us re-bind and re-connect to God and each other in more Spirit reflective ways - re-forming old stories
Download or read book The Gender Agenda written by LIS GODDARD and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when men can be nurses or stay-at-home dads and women can be pilots or business managers, there are few areas left where gender alone determines what a person can and cannot do. Yet different models still exist in Christian ministry. Some denominations contend that certain areas of church life should be the preserve of men alone, while others allow full access to all areas for both sexes. But which is right? In this compelling email exchange, Lis Goddard and Clare Hendry search the Scriptures for guidance on the roles of women and men in church leadership today. Against the busy backdrop of everyday life, their conversation covers all the key passages, leaving no tricky verse unexamined. Passionately arguing their respective corners, they pinpoint where they disagree - and agree - all the while modelling Christian debate and friendship. Points to ponder helpfully enable readers to explore their own conclusions.
Book Synopsis Finding Gender Equality in the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda by : Barbara K. Trojanowska
Download or read book Finding Gender Equality in the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda written by Barbara K. Trojanowska and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary book explores how the policy goal of gender equality operates in arguably the most masculinist area of politics: peace and security. Gender equality was set on the international peace and security agenda with the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000 and the inception of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. Celebrated internationally as an outcome of feminist advocacy efforts, the WPS agenda has over time become a site of contestation. Security institutions have questioned the placement of the gender equality objective within the peace and security sector, whereas feminist advocates have expressed their concerns about the capacity of security institutions to support gender equality in meaningful ways. Drawing on insights of nearly seventy UN, government, international and local civil society experts, the book offers a systematic take on key gender equality debates within the WPS agenda in the case studies of UN Security Council, ASEAN and Pacific Islands Forum, and Governments of the Philippines and Australia. By looking back at the dilemmas of gender equality policymaking and their paradoxical effects in conflict and post-conflict situations, the book also looks forward to the third decade of the WPS agenda and the long-term impact of the agenda on the political struggle for gender equality in peace and security.

Book Synopsis Terrorism, Gender and Women by : Alexandra Phelan
Download or read book Terrorism, Gender and Women written by Alexandra Phelan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism, Gender and Women: Towards an Integrated Research Agenda encourages greater integration of gender-sensitive approaches to studies of violent extremism and terrorism. This book seeks to create and inspire a dialogue among scholars of conflict, terrorism and gender by suggesting the necessity of incorporating gender analysis to fill gaps within, and further enhance, our understanding of political violence. The chapters featured in the book interrogate how recent developments in the field– such as the proliferation of propaganda and online messaging, the "decline" or shifting presence of ISIS, the continued "rise" of far-right extremism, and the changing roles of women in political violence – necessitate a gendered understanding of radicalisation, participation, and of strategies to counter and prevent both violent extremism and terrorism. Taken together, they encourage a discussion of new ways in understanding how women and men can be affected by terrorism and violent extremism differently, and how involvement can often be influenced by highly gendered experiences and considerations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Studies in Conflict & Terrorism.
Book Synopsis Agenda Setting, the UN, and NGOs by : Jutta M. Joachim
Download or read book Agenda Setting, the UN, and NGOs written by Jutta M. Joachim and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1990s, when the United Nations adopted positions affirming a woman's right to be free from bodily harm and to control her own reproductive health, it was both a coup for the international women's rights movement and an instructive moment for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) seeking to influence UN decision making. Prior to the UN General Assembly's 1993 Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence against Women and the 1994 decision by the UN's Conference on Population and Development to vault women's reproductive rights and health to the forefront of its global population growth management program, there was little consensus among governments as to what constituted violence against women and how much control a woman should have over reproduction. Jutta Joachim tells the story of how, in the years leading up to these decisions, women's organizations got savvy—framing the issues strategically, seizing political opportunities in the international environment, and taking advantage of mobilizing structures—and overcame the cultural opposition of many UN-member states to broadly define the two issues and ultimately cement women's rights as an international cause. Joachim's deft examination of the documents, proceedings, and actions of the UN and women's advocacy NGOs—supplemented by interviews with key players from concerned parties, and her own participant-observation—reveals flaws in state-centered international relations theories as applied to UN policy, details the tactics and methods that NGOs can employ in order to push rights issues onto the UN agenda, and offers insights into the factors that affect NGO influence. In so doing, Agenda Setting, the UN, and NGOs departs from conventional international relations theory by drawing on social movement literature to illustrate how rights groups can motivate change at the international level.

Book Synopsis The Women, Peace and Security Agenda by : Laura J. Shepherd
Download or read book The Women, Peace and Security Agenda written by Laura J. Shepherd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda is comprised of the policies, protocols and practices enacted by a wide range of actors inspired by, or under the auspices, of the UN Security Council resolutions adopted under the title of ‘women and peace and security’. Since the adoption of the first resolution in 2000, resolution 1325, there have been nine others, each of which elaborates or extends aspects of the original resolution. This book provides a forward-looking collection of scholarship on the WPS agenda in two halves. The first half of the book presents a series of essays that each provide a glimpse of the rich and insightful research on WPS being undertaken in and about different contexts, to demonstrate the importance of centring the "local" as a site of knowledge production in the WPS agenda. The essays presented in the second half of the book also engage questions of knowledge production, documenting the exploratory methods in use in WPS scholarship, and highlighting those topics engaged at the hinterlands of what is a broad field – topics that gesture at the future of research in this area. The chapters in this book were originally published as special issues of the International Feminist Journal of Politics.
Book Synopsis The Abolition of Sex by : Kara Dansky
Download or read book The Abolition of Sex written by Kara Dansky and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans do not understand the real threat that the “transgender” agenda, or the so-called “gender identity” movement, poses to all of us—especially women and girls—nor do they understand the extent to which it is taking over U.S. law and civil society. The simple truth is that “gender identity” functions to abolish sex, and all of our civic institutions—government, media, academia, and business—have been completely captured by it. We have been told that “transgender” is a word to describe a marginalized group of people who are in need of civil rights protection; it is not. Instead, it is an incoherent word that is being used to advance a much broader agenda. There are many people—including people on the political left—who understand the threat that enshrining “gender identity” in law and society poses, but they are silenced when they try to speak out. This book shines a light on the truth about “gender identity,” the “transgender” agenda, the very real threats that they pose to all of society—specifically to the rights, privacy, and safety of women and girls—and what the global Women’s Human Rights Campaign is doing to fight back.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Women, Peace, and Security by : Sara E. Davies
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Women, Peace, and Security written by Sara E. Davies and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2019 with total page 921 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passed in 2000, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 and subsequent seven Resolutions make up the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. This agenda is a significant international normative and policy framework addressing the gender-specific impacts of conflict on women and girls, including protection against sexual and gender-based violence, promotion of women's participation in peace and security processes, and support for women's roles as peace builders in the prevention of conflict and rebuilding of societies after conflict. Implementation within and across states and international organizations - and within peace and security operations - has been slow despite significant transnational advocacy in support of the WPS agenda. The Oxford Handbook of Women, Peace, and Security brings together scholars, advocates, and policymakers to provide an overview of what we know concerning what works to promote women's participation in peace and security, what works to protect women and girls from sexual and gender-based violence and other human rights violations, and what works to prevent conflict drawing on women's experiences and knowledge of building peace from local to global levels. Just as importantly, it addresses the gaps in knowledge on and the future direction of scholarship on WPS. The handbook particularly aims to build on the findings from the 2015 Global Study of Resolution 1325, commissioned by the UN-Secretary General. Over the course of six sections, the handbook addresses the concepts and early history behind WPS; the theory and practice of WPS; international institutions involved with the WPS agenda; the implementation of WPS in conflict prevention, peace operations, peace building, arms control, human-rights protection, and protection of civilians; connections between WPS and other UN resolutions and agendas; and the ongoing and future challenges of WPS.

Book Synopsis Power-Sharing Pacts and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda by : Siobhan Byrne
Download or read book Power-Sharing Pacts and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda written by Siobhan Byrne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative lens on the contested relationship between two leading conflict resolution norms: ethnopolitical power-sharing pacts and the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda. Championed by national governments and international organizations over the last two decades, power-sharing and feminist scholars and practitioners tend to view them as opposing norms. Critics charge that power-sharing scholars cast gender as an inconsequential political identity that does not motivate people like ethnonationalism. From a feminist perspective, such thinking serves the interests of ethnicized elites while excluding women and other marginalized communities from key sites of political power. This edited volume takes a different tack: while recognizing the gender gaps that still exist in power-sharing theory and practice, contributors also emphasize the constructive engagements that can be built between ethnopolitical power-sharing and gender inclusion. Three main themes are highlighted: The ‘gender silences’ of existing power-sharing arrangements The impact of gender activism and advocacy on the negotiation and implementation of power-sharing pacts in divided societies The opportunities for linkages between power-sharing and the women, peace and security agenda. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Nationalism and Ethnic Politics.
Download or read book The Gender Agenda written by Steve Chalke and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this short study, leading evangelical Christian Steve Chalke explores the theology of gender identity, reassignment and confirmation. This book will help individual Christians and churches to engage with the Bible's trajectory of radical inclusion and to form an inclusive theology which is both Christ-like and biblical.The Gender Agenda also explores what it can mean to be transgender in a less than fully inclusive society and the hurt, pain and mental health issues that can arise when people feel they have to suppress their true gender identity.The Gender Agenda has been warmly welcomed by leading Christian voices, including:Rev Dr Sam Wells, vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields: "In this welcome study, Steve Chalke regards gender identity not as a problem to be fixed or a norm to be upheld but as a mystery to be entered, with grace, understanding, and the expectation of being amazed. Placing the contemporary church within the narrative of the Acts of the Apostles, Chalke invigorates this discussion by reminding Christians that we are the early church, and we all need to keep up with a God who is never calling us back to a static standard, but always ahead of us imploring us to catch up. Reading this short account is an exercise in rediscovering the diverse glory of God's kingdom."Jayne Ozanne, Director of the Ozanne Foundation, founding member of the Archbishops' Council for the Church of England and member of General Synod: "'The Gender Agenda' forces us to take a deeper look at Scripture and understand that God's heart is radically inclusive. Like Steve, I believe we need a Revolution of Grace that ensures the whole Body of Christ can truly flourish."
