Gender equality remained the main thrust of MDGs target. The study highlights retrogressive African cultures that incapacitate women attempts to accept responsibilities in public domain and professional endeavours. The study found that some African traditional values are antithetical to women empowerment, which restricts their education and political participation. The study concludes by reiterating the urgent need for policy makers, national government and womenfolk to accept only those African values that conform to the global drives for the realization of MDG and abolish those harmful to women s participation in decision-making and developmental activities. ····· 1036189367

Transnational families in which one or more members are out of the country for several years are increasingly common in the Asian region. Moreover, there are increasing numbers of migrant families with one or both parents being overseas for work for a significant part of the growing up of their children. In the Asian region, a large proportion of absent mothers are found in countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka which are the major suppliers of overseas domestic workers. This book examines the effects of the migration of female transnational domestic workers on the economic and social situation of their families and children in Sri Lanka. On one hand, the effects of increased money on the overall economic well-being of their families and the education of children are positive. On the other hand, there are several negative impacts on the behavioural patterns and health of the children left behind and the family as a whole. This study also reports on the arrangements that are made by the migrant women for taking care of the children while they are away and how they maintain intimacy with their families from a distance. ····· 1036189330

Research has focused on the knowledge and practice of family planning as a means of enhancing the reproductive behaviour of couples.It is argued that if women are well informed and practise family planning methods, the population growth rate will not be as high as 3.3%.This paper explores the determinants of ideal family size among currently married women in order to understand their reproductive norms. Using data from the 2008 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS),sample consists of currently married women between the ages of 15-49(N=921).One-way ANOVA was used in the bi-variate analysis while Multivariate ANOVA was the multivariate method used. Distribution by knowledge,ever use of family planning and ideal number of children show that individual women consider a large family to be desirable.The bivariate and multivariate analyses show that educational attainment, number of living children, place of residence of currently married women are associated with significantly ideal number of children. For population growth rate to remain stable or on a decrease,efforts should be intensified on the family planning education so as to stem the tide of unnecessary increase in family size. ····· 1036189215

This book argues that gender inequality and poverty in Zimbabwe are the major causes that have made more women in Zimbabwe have HIV/AIDS. This book found out that under gender inequality and poverty there were socio-cultural, economic and political factors that have made women in Zimbabwe more vulnerable and susceptible to HIV/AIDS. Under socio-cultural factors the following were analyzed, unequal relations between men and women, condom use, gender based violence, stigma and discrimination and the importance of having children. Economic factors have also contributed in making women more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, and these include prostitution, limited access to education and treatment for women and intergenerational sex. Zimbabwe s political situation has also worsened the pandemic, as bad governance has caused ODA to be reduced in the country and with the droughts and high inflation women who are victims of HIV/AIDS suffer the most. HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe can be reduced if both men and women work together to overcome this disease. This can be done by changing their behavior and reducing gender inequality. ····· 1036188892

Compact and comprehensive, this book offers a wide ranging account of the body representations from linguistic, social, political and ideological perspectives. It is a perfect companion by a lucid introduction and notes from various writers which assist the reader in understanding body theories (Feryal Cubukcu) In this thrillingly written and seductive exploration of human sexuality and emotions the authors address some of the most controversial issues of human existence (Gordan Matas) The compelling essays in this volume explore the complexities of the artistic understanding and representation of the body-mind-spirit relationship. The female body in particular is seen in its continuous fluidity, as `subject` and/or `object` as it is being inscribed, moulded, transformed, empowered by the thinker/artist (Lucia Stueven) ...the body cannot be experienced apart from language, discourse, social, political and ideological background. It becomes visible only under a particular gaze in a particular age, culture and society. The volume contributes to the new representation of women as sites of discrimination and oppression as well as of cultural knowledge and artistic production. ····· 1036188882

We investigated the factors that influence mothers use of medically trained services for childbirth in a rural district in the Eastern Region of Ghana using a cross-sectional study. Structured questionnaires were administered to 350 women with children under one year. Key informants who were community opinion leaders and Senior Midwives at health care facilities in the study district were also interviewed qualitatively. Cross tabulation and Chi-square test were the main statistical processes used in analysing the relationships between the study variables. The result showed that the use of antenatal services by the mothers was important for the choice of where to deliver their babies. Mothers who attended antenatal services three times or more were more likely to deliver at the health facilities than those who used lesser antenatal care. Delivery at a health facility was highest among the women who had the autonomy to decide where to deliver. Access factors in terms of economic cost and distance to a health facility also played significant roles in influencing mothers delivery behavior. We recommend additional social policies to address maternal health issues in the study district ····· 1036188875

The study investigated access opportunities created by organisation of maternal health care and social relations and how this in turn influences health seeking behaviour. Pregnancy related maternal health care was studied based on cases of 16 women and health care providers. This was a study from a qualitative background of interviews, focus group discussions and observatioins. The result showed that characteristics embedded in social structure and organisation of maternal health care influence the attitude of women. The women use maternal health services especially antenatal care due to the introduction of the virtually free maternal health care but rather give birth at home. Home births which are normally without professional supervision are more widespread among women who live in Abono than in Kuntenase health zones of the district. ····· 1036188664

Rethinking Gender in the New Muslim Public Shpere

Taking the observation that the widespread return of religion in `secular` modernity gives evidence to its growing role in society and politics, this study examines ways in which Islamic values are created, reformulated and fed into new perceptions. Aided by the proliferation of mass media in the modern world, and situated outside the control of state authorities, the new satellite television, contributes in creating a `new Muslim public sphere` that is expanding in numbers as well as diversity of opinions. Many studies have been engaged in examining this `new Muslim public sphere` in Egypt, and its connotations, however, the gender dimension was given minor recognition. Accordingly I aim at, particularly, providing a gendered perspective in relation to relevant theories of the public sphere as well as their feminist critiques. I focus on young Egyptian women audience in relation to this `new Egyptian Muslim public sphere` through their use of media in their everyday life, and how does the accessibility to these new forms of media facilitate the formation of counter-public spheres in which those women voice their concerns and articulate their experiences. ····· 1036188172

Constructing Higher Education Experiences through Narratives

····· lezzter Preis 59.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Higher education institutions in Ghana have experienced some diversity and heterogeneity in their composition in terms of participants` ages, socio-economic status, culture and gender. Mature students are however most at risk of dropping out. This book reports on a study that examined the life narratives of some mature undergraduate women from different socio-economic backgrounds in one public university in Ghana. It shows how the mature women students in the study combined domestic work with academic work, the tensions they experienced and the strategies they devised to manage their conflicting roles in order to navigate their way through Higher Education (HE). There is indication that the women students` different socio-economic backgrounds, marital status and family lives influenced the way they experienced HE and the strategies they adopted for progressing through it. The author suggests that higher education practitioners should be sensitised about the new constituents of higher education in Ghana, and that they exhibit responsiveness to the peculiar learning needs of minority students. This is expected to improve on retention and increase their participation in HE. ····· 1036188079

This book is the product of a qualitative study undertaken for a Masters degree in Social Science. It based on the experiences of ten New Zealand couples who, by choice, do not have children. Strong social norms exist for couples to have children, and those who express a desire to do otherwise have been disbelieved, pressured, and stereotyped. Womanhood has continued to be associated with motherhood, and a maternal instinct is expected to drive women (in particular) to have children. This book shares the perspectives of both women and men, on how family members, friends, and complete strangers react to their choice to not have children. Stereotypes, assumptions, and various other responses faced by the couples (together and as individuals) are discussed from a critical, feminist perspective. ····· 1036188025
