Download or read book Gender Sensitive Lawmaking in Theory and Practice written by Maria Mousmouti and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses key questions around gender-sensitive legislation as a key output of gender sensitive Parliaments and explores practical ways to promote gender-sensitive ex-ante scrutiny of legislation, improve implementation through gender responsive budgeting, assess the gender impact of legislation ex post and express laws in gender inclusive ways. All laws have a gender, and the gender of the law can reveal itself in the language, the content and the results of legislation. Gender-blind laws can discriminate directly or indirectly against individuals or population groups, can produce unwanted effects, can reproduce gender stereotypes, and can render laws and policies ineffective. Gender-sensitive legislation on the other hand, can be expected to achieve its desired legislative objectives without unwanted differential impact on the grounds of gender and other individual characteristics and can simultaneously promote gender equality. This book advances the premise that gender sensitive legislation is not the result of political will or good intentions alone but the outcome of gender-sensitive legislative decision-making throughout the life cycle of legislation. This means that gender concerns need to be an integral part of the processes of legislative design and drafting, ex-ante and ex-post legislative scrutiny and implementation of legislation. Gender Sensitive Lawmaking in Theory and Practice will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Law, Public Policy, Gender and Women’s Studies and Sociology. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of The Theory and Practice of Legislation.

Download or read book Sex, Slavery and the Trafficked Woman written by Ramona Vijeyarasa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, Slavery and the Trafficked Woman is a go-to text for readers who seek a comprehensive overview of the meaning of ’human trafficking’ and current debates and perspectives on the issue. It presents a more nuanced understanding of human trafficking and its victims by examining - and challenging - the conventional assumptions that sit at the heart of mainstream approaches to the topic. A pioneering study, the arguments made in this book are largely drawn from the author’s fieldwork in Ukraine, Vietnam and Ghana. The author demonstrates to readers how a law enforcement and criminal justice-oriented approach to trafficking has developed at the expense of a migration and human rights perspective. She highlights the importance of viewing trafficking within a broad spectrum of migratory movement. The author contests the coerced, female victim archetype as stereotypical and challenges the reader to understand trafficking in an alternative manner, introducing the counterintuitive concept of the ’voluntary victim’. Overall, this text provides readers of migration and development, gender studies, women’s rights and international law a comprehensive and multidisciplinary analysis of the concept of trafficking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women have made significant inroads into politics in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred physical attacks, intimidation, and harassment intended to deter their participation. This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name - violence against women in politics - and lobbied for its increased recognition by citizens, states, and international organizations. Tracing how this concept emerged inductively on the global stage, the volume draws on research in multiple disciplines to resolve lingering ambiguities regarding its contours. It argues that this phenomenon is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against political rivals. Rather, violence against women in politics is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors. Drawing on a wide range of country examples, the book illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, as well as catalogues emerging solutions around the world. Issuing a call to action, it considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively, as well as understand the political and social implications of allowing violence against women in politics to continue unabated. Highlighting the threats it poses to democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the volume concludes that tackling violence against women in politics requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women's equal rights to participate - freely and safely - in political life around the globe"--

Download or read book The Symbolic Representation of Gender written by Dr Emanuela Lombardo and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is symbolic representation? Since Hanna Pitkin’s seminal The Concept of Representation, the symbolic has been the least studied dimension of political representation. Innovatively adopting a discursive approach, this book - the first full-length treatment of symbolic representation - focuses on gender issues to tackle important questions such as: What are women and men symbols of, and how is gender constructed in policy discourse? It studies what functions symbolic representation fulfils in the construction of gender, what social roles get legitimized in policy discourse, and how this affects power constellations, ultimately revealing much about the relation between symbolic, descriptive, and substantive representation. Emanuela Lombardo and Petra Meier draw on theories of symbolic representation and gender, as well as rich primary material about political debates on labour and care issues, partnership and reproductive rights, gender violence, and quotas. Using this original data, the authors show that reconsidering symbolic representation from a discursive perspective makes explicit issues of (in)equality embedded within particular constructions, as well as their consequences for political representation and gender equality. This important exploration raises relevant new questions regarding the representation of gender that form valuable contributions to the fields of political science, political theory, sociology, and gender studies.
