Towards an inclusive (post)globalization? Women as agents of change

Analyzing the impact of globalization on women and girls, along with their activism and resistance, can provide important insights for policy and institutional reforms aimed at mitigat…
Medical uncertainty and reproduction of the “normal”

I am a different father’. An intergenerational analysis of the social transformation of fatherhood in the Islamic Republic of Iran

It aims to fill a knowledge gap in gender, family and Iranian studies by exploring both the changing role of fathers and men’s involvement in family life and care in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Adopting an intergenerational approach and a mixed methods design, the paper considers how fatherhood practices and discourses have changed…

Gendered Institutions/Organizations

Institutions and organizati…

From the Effects of Globalization on Women to Women’s Agency in Globalization
The article reviews current literature about the effects and challenges of globalization on the lives of women worldwide. While, on the one hand, globalization has increased opportunities for women, on the other hand its capacity to significantly reduce gender inequalities remains unmet. Moreover, globalization affects women differently in different parts of the world and some women (poor/marginalized women in affluent nations; women of the Globa…
Transnormativity in the psy disciplines
The psy disciplines (i.e., psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychotherapy) have played a significant role in shaping understandings of transgender people's lives in ways that are transnormative (i.e., by emphasizing one particular account of what it means to be transgender). This article documents (a) how the rise of the psy disciplines created opportunities for transgender people to access treatment (but that such access often require…

Gender-sensitive data
Gender statistics play a crucial role in social research and in the creation of gender sensitive policies. Gender statistics document the situation of women and men around the world, making it easier to raise awareness about inequalities between them, to monitor gender equality and promote actionable change. There is thus a need to encourage awareness about gender statistics and their usefulness in gender mainstreaming. The paper has different ai…

The study of women's deprivation
The aim of this article is to discuss some of the central conceptual and methodological issues which must be tackled if we wish to investigate poverty in a gender-sensitive way. The relationship between women and poverty is complex and therefore very difficult to reveal.

The data used to analyse lo…

Précarité des revenus, pauvreté des salaires
L'analyse des données fournies par la Banque d'Italie permet aux auteures de vérifier l'hypothèse que la pauvreté des femmes qui travaillent est souvent compensée, mais aussi dissimulée, au sein de la famille. De fait, les données portant sur les ressources individuelles montrent que les femmes qui travaillent ont plus souvent que les hommes des revenus du travail inférieurs au seuil de pauvreté, en particulier si elles sont des indépendantes.
