Violence Against Women: the Spanish Response Eurohealth OBSERVER 13 VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: THE SPANISH RESPONSE By: Claudia García-Moreno Summary: Violence against women is now well recognised as an urgent public health and women’s health priority, as well as a human rights violation. Evidence across the world demonstrates the short and long-term health effects of intimate partner violence on women. In Spain, important initiatives to raise awareness in the health sector about gender-based violence include the establishment of an epidemiological surveillance system to document women’s health problems; the creation of the Commission Against Gender-based Violence to co-ordinate programmes; National Health Service actions to implement specific commitments made in Spain’s law on gender- based violence, including training for health professionals; and the development of a common protocol for a health care response to gender-based violence. Keywords: Gender-based Violence, Health Effects, Gender Inequality, Spain A sizeable problem violence. 5 In 2011, Spain reported 61 women killed by a partner or ex-partner. 6 Violence against women is now well In Spain, following the passing of the recognised as an urgent public health Law on Gender-based Violence in and women’s health priority, as well December 2004, there has been increased as a human rights violation.

Gender and Ethnocentrism in Roman Accounts of Germany Maggie Thompson For a woman who sells her chastity there is no pardon; neither beauty nor youth, nor wealth can find her a husband. For in Germany no one laughs at vice, nor calls mutual corruption “the spirit of the age.” (Tacitus, Germania, 19) It may be tempting to use quotes such as the one above to make inferences about what life must have been like for the German women Tacitus wrote about. However, ethnographies such as the Germania are more useful in garnering information about Tacitus’ Rome than they are accurate accounts of Roman Germany. When constructing the cultural geography of the world they lived in, the Romans often defined themselves, like the Greeks before them, in contrast to a cultural “Other” or “barbarian.” This dichotomy between Roman and non-Roman, West and East, civilized and uncivilized, is a regular theme throughout Classical literature and art.

  • Berlin Institute for Comparative Social Research Marriage Migration And
    Berlin Institute for Comparative Social Research Member of the European Migration Centre (EMZ) Marriage Migration and the Significance of this Migration Issue in Germany. Country Study. Mária Guličová – Grethe Project: Marriage as Immigration Gate: the Situation of Female Marriage Migrants from Third Countries in the EU Member States (HeiRat I) DAPHNE Programme – European Commission March 2004 Introduction In Germany, public discussion on immigration issues has revolved around a series of opposing key concepts: German versus foreign, temporary versus permanent, labour versus welfare migration. At least since the 1980s, anti-immigration feelings have been called upon during elections. The long history of predominant anti-immigration rhetoric has prevented general reforms and deepened mental obstacles to migration. At the same time, many changes in legal and administrative regulations have influenced the volume and composition of immigration substantially. The number of naturalisations in Germany has been rising steadily from 1994 onwards, with the majority of applicants coming from Turkey, Iran, the former Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Morocco, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, the Russian Federation, Vietnam and Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, the most frequent countries of origin of foreigners living in Germany in 2001 were Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Croatia, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, the US, Netherlands, France and Iran.1 This country study investigates the implications of the issue of marriage migration to Germany. In the first section of the study, the topic of marriage migration, the main tendencies in research, statistical data available, the role of various organisations and the main groups of migrants involved in some way in the migratory moves on the basis of bi-national marriage are introduced.

  • Women in Non-Standard Employmentpdf
    INWORK Issue Brief No.9 Women in Non-standard Employment * Non-standard employment (NSE), including temporary employment, part-time and on-call work, multiparty employment arrangements, dependent and disguised self-employment, has become a contemporary feature of labour markets across the world. Its overall importance has increased over the past few decades, and its use has become more widespread across all economic sectors and occupations. However, NSE is not spread evenly across the labour market. Along with young people and migrants, women are often over-represented in non-standard arrangements. This policy brief examines the incidence of part-time and temporary work among women, discusses the reasons for their over-representation in these arrangements, and suggests policy solutions for alleviating gender inequalities with respect to NSE1. Women in part-time work Part-time employment (defined statistically as total employment, their share of all those working employees who work fewer than 35 hours per part-time is 57 per cent.2 Gender differences with week) is the most widespread type of non-standard respect to part-time hours are over 30 percentage employment found among women. In 2014, over 60 points in the Netherlands and Argentina. There is per cent of women worked part-time hours in the at least a 25 percentage point difference in Austria, Netherlands and India; over 50 per cent in Zimbabwe Belgium, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Niger, Pakistan, and Mozambique; and over 40 per cent in a handful and Switzerland. of countries including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mali, Moreover, marginal part-time work – involving Malta, New Zealand, Niger, Switzerland, and United less than 15 hours per week – features particularly Kingdom (figure 1).

  • Report of the Federal Republic of Germany
    Twenty‐fifth Anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and Adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) Report of the Federal Republic of Germany August 2019 Section One: Priorities, achievements, challenges and setbacks 1. What have been the most important achievements, challenges and set‐backs in progress towards gender equality and the empowerment of women over the past 5 years? In answering this question, please explain why your country considers these important, how it has addressed them, the challenges encountered and the factors that have enabled progress or led to set‐backs in each case (3‐5 pages). Article 3 of the German Basic Law stipulates as follows: “Men and women shall have equal rights. The state shall promote the actual implementation of equal rights for women and men and take steps to eliminate disadvantages that now exist.” Women nevertheless still come up against social expectations, stereotypes and structural barriers which are different to those faced by men. Germany wants a gender equitable society – one that offers the same opportunities for and balanced participation of women and men in all areas of life. This presents new opportunities not just for women, but also for men and for society as a whole. It thus enables us to make German society perceptibly stronger. Although gender equality policy still faces great challenges in Germany, some significant successes have been achieved. This report provides a broad overview of gender equality developments, opportunities and challenges in Germany, and highlights our policy priorities. Gender equality in working life One gender equality policy challenge still faced is that in Germany, far more women than men take a break away from work or work part‐time (including in marginal jobs).

  • Women and Men in Germany
    Women and Men in Germany Women and Men in Germany 4 Opening remarks Dear Reader, Our guiding principle in gender equality policy is that women can do anything – a straightforward statement of fact. After all, we have achieved a lot in terms of gender equality in Germany. In recent years, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) invested extensively in good childcare and greater reconciliation of family and work, set up the Violence against Women hotline for women affected by violence, established legal transparency meas- ures regarding remuneration, and, with the help of the binding quota, increased the proportion of women on supervisory boards. For the first time in its history, the Federal Government has adopted a gender equality strategy to which all ministries are committed. We can be proud of all these important steps. But there is still a lot to do. Ultimately, the statement “women can do anything” is also a call to action. The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated even more clearly the areas we need to tackle: women are bearing the brunt of the crisis not only in caring professions, but also by taking on unpaid care work. The pay gap between women and men remains consistently high at 20 per cent. And one in three women in Germany experiences physical or sexualised violence in her life. This brochure shows you where we stand in terms of gender equality in Ger many. You will learn about what specific measures we are taking to com- bat existing inequalities from the expansion of day care facilities to the Stronger than Violence (Stärker als Gewalt) initiative.

  • “Gender As a Destabilising Factor of Weimar Society” – by Donna-Marie
    Gender as a destabilising factor of Weimar society Donna-Marie Bohan The Weimar Republic (1919-33) was a period in German history during which great political, social and cultural changes occurred. In addition to the new political system and the onset of rationalisation and modernisation, gender roles and gender relations constituted key areas of change. The experiences of both men and women during the First World War (1914-18) and the German Revolution (1918-19) had a decisive impact on the shaping of gender roles and gender relations during the Weimar Republic. The experience of war was crucial for the transformation of women’s roles. Due to the men’s absence or death, women substituted men as heads of households in many instances and frequently replaced them in areas of work and in political institutions. Wartime engendered an increasing political consciousness among women as they actively participated in protests to end the war. Meanwhile, men had an entirely different war experience. They were subject to feelings of displacement and crises of masculinity resulting from life in the trenches and traumatising experiences during battle on the one hand and the societal changes that occurred in their family life at home and in wider society on the other. Article 109 of the Weimar Constitution of 1919 ushered in a period of female liberation with its establishment of the legal equality of gender relations and post-war conditions in Germany were widely perceived as a period of gender disorder and societal destabilisation. The blurring of traditional gender roles and the polarisation of gender experience during the war undoubtedly created new conceptions of femininity and masculinity and contributed to a post-war view that gender ideologies and gender relations were broken.

Discussion Papers 557 Elke Holst* Women in Managerial Positions in Europe Focus on Germany Berlin, March 2006 * DIW Berlin, SOEP, [email protected] Abstract Prejudices and stereotypical beliefs about the role of women in society often limit their chan- ces of reaching top leadership positions. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the socio- economic structure and the gender pay gap in managerial positions in Germany building on a review from a cross-national perspective of women’s progress to high-ranking positions and of initiatives to overcome the “glass ceiling”. Suggestions are made for improving the situa- tion of women in order to permit more balanced gender participation in the economy, while also promoting national competitiveness and higher levels of wellbeing for the society.

  • An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding Turkish Women's Educational Attainment in Germany Dissertation Presented In
    An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding Turkish Women’s Educational Attainment in Germany Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mary Kate Gaebel, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Bryan Warnick, Advisor Dr. Robert Lawson, Co-Advisor Dr. Sebnem Cilesiz Dr. Binaya Subedi Copyright by Mary Kate Gaebel 2012 Abstract This dissertation has two main foci: first, on the experiences of Turkish women in the German educational system, and to what extent state policies, cultural pressures, and personal choice influence their decision to pursue higher education; second, how state policies, cultural artifacts and official documents can elucidate these women’s individual accounts. This dissertation is further framed by the following sub-questions: In what ways do women of Turkish descent employ both ‘Germanness’ and ‘Turkishness’ to successfully navigate the educational system and to resist educational and social marginalization? What tensions arise between these socially-constructed identities? To explore these questions, this dissertation employs both in-depth, semi-structured interviews with women of Turkish descent in Berlin and document and cultural artifact analysis. Chapter 1 offers an overview of the discourse used to construct the Turkish female immigrant stereotype as unwilling and unable to integrate into German society, Chapter 2 is dedicated to using the current literature in the field to frame this discourse in an historical, social, and cultural context. Chapter 3 addresses the use of intersectionality as the methodological tool in this dissertation, the aim of which is to address identity as a dialogue between the individual and larger structures of power and that categories of identity, as processes constructed through power relations, hold both internal and external components.
