  • 1 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Statement Women's Rights
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press statement Women’s rights organizations challenge Mali’s lack of anti FGM law at the ECOWAS Court of Justice ABUJA, Nigeria, April 12, 2021 – Leading women’s rights organizations have jointly filed a case at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice in Abuja, Nigeria, to challenge Mali’s failure to prohibit Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) by adopting a legal and policy framework that would criminalize the practice. Currently, there is no legislation that addresses FGM, leaving women and girls without recourse or protection from this human rights violation. The case, which was filed by Association Malienne pour le Suivi et l'Orientation des Pratiques Traditionnelles -AMSOPT and Association pour le Progrès et la Défense des Droits des Femmes au Mali – APDF [represented by the Institute for Human Rights and Development in Africa (IHRDA) and Equality Now], seeks to hold the Government of Mali to account on its failure to protect Malian girls and women from FGM. Speaking in Nairobi after the filing, Faiza Mohamed, Director of Equality Now’s Africa Office, said that FGM is a grave and systemic violation of girls and women’s rights in Mali and that the government had failed in its duty of care. She pointed out that at least 89% of girls and women in Mali between the ages of 15 and 49 have been subjected to FGM, with 73% of Malian girls undergoing the cut before their 15th birthday, according to the 2018 Demographic and Health Survey. Furthermore, Type II FGM (excision) is the most common form, affecting 48.9% of women and girls aged between 15 and 49.

  • Embodied Issues of Gender and Power in Aidoo's Changes
    POLITICS OF THE (TEXTUAL) BODY: EMBODIED ISSUES OF GENDER AND POWER IN AIDOO’S CHANGES: A LOVE STORY , FAQIR’S PILLARS OF SALT , AND WINTERSON’S WRITTEN ON THE BODY by Jessica Lynn Jones November 2013 Director of Thesis: Dr. Marame Gueye Major Department: English This thesis explores the literary manifestation of patriarchal embodiment in several multicultural novels: Ama Ata Aidoo’s Changes: A Love Story , Fadia Faqir’s Pillars of Salt , and Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body . Using theories of embodiment, gender, and power, I analyze how the female body is cast as a surface onto which gendered power structures can be inscribed, as well as the ways in which the body subverts cultural gender norms. The novels exemplify the relationship among literature, culture, and consciousness and offer visions of feminism outside of a Western paradigm.

  • Gender Equality Policies in the Usa
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS GENDER EQUALITY GENDER EQUALITY POLICIES IN THE USA NOTE Abstract Even though the most obvious forms of sex discrimination have been considerably reduced in the USA society, discrimination takes much more subtle forms. This note offers an overview of the situation in the US (at federal level) regarding gender equality and is based on 5 themes: sex discrimination in the workplace; reconciliation of private and professional life; access to health care; equal representation in decision-making; eradication of all forms of gender- based violence. It appears that, depending on the issue at stake, the US situation can be comparable to the one of some of the EU countries or be particular notably because of cultural specificities.

International Dimensions of Discrimination and Violence against Girls: A Human Rights Perspective By Yvonne Rafferty1 Abstract In many cultures, being born female can consign the girl child to the peripheries of society where her safety is denied and her human rights are routinely violated. At each and every stage of development, girls are more likely than boys to confront a host of disadvantages associated with discrimination and violence, although the social norms and cultural rules that influence girls are most intensely felt as she struggles to develop into adulthood. At the onset of puberty, or even before, some girls are pulled out of school and forced into early marriage and high-risk pregnancy.

  • Are You Afraid of the Dark?
    Global Political Studies One -Year Master Program, 60 credits Human Rights Master Thesis, 15 credits Spring 2015 Supervisor: Peter Hallberg Are You Afraid of The Dark? Addressing women’s fear of sexual violence as a Human Rights concern in Sweden Talina Marcusson Journiette Author: Talina Marcusson Journiette Title: Are You Afraid of the Dark? Addressing Women’s Fear of Sexual Violence as a Human Rights Concern Supervisor: Peter Hallberg Word count: 16495 This study is based on the statistical finding that every tenth women in Sweden refrains to go outside alone in their own residential area when it is dark because they are afraid (BRÅ 2015:88) and strives to discuss this problem further. The purpose of this study is to argue that there is a need to address women’s fear of sexual violence as a human rights concern in Sweden. Women’s ability to enjoy their human rights is restricted by their fear and the normalization of women’s fear contributes to this problem. Furthermore, Martha Nussbaum’s capability approach and her theoretical understanding of emotions enable an understanding of how the concept of bodily integrity is affected by women’s fear. Women’s fear of sexual violence can be understood as a problem of social inequality that is affected by the underlying structures of gender inequality. Therefore, it is essential to identify the nature of the attitudes that tend to undermine women and result in violence against women. The fear of sexual violence is dependent on the occurrence of violence against women, which is a human rights violation.

  • On the Map: Charting the Landscape of Girl Work Acknowledgments
    On the Map: Charting the Landscape of Girl Work acknowledgments ICRW gratefully acknowledges the United Nations Foundation for their generous support of this research. This report was researched and written by Margaret Greene, Anjala Kanesathasan, Gwennan Hollingworth, Jennifer Browning and Eve Goldstein-Siegel. We thank the staff members from dozens of organizations who took the time and effort to share information about their girl programs through our survey. Additional thanks to those individuals who gave even more of themselves by allowing us to interview them over the phone. We know how busy professionals in the international development arena can be, and we are grateful for the gift of time and frankness from every person who responded to our questions. © 2010 International Center for Research on Women (ICRW). Portions of this report may be reproduced without express permission of but with acknowledgment to ICRW. Design: Dennis & Sackett Design, Inc. Introduction The United Nations Foundation (UNF) and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) have worked for many years to advance girls around the world. Recognizing the recent growth in girl-related attention and investment, ICRW undertook an initial mapping exercise in 2009 to understand more about the current landscape of “girl work” in the developing world. This paper presents the key findings from this exercise, describing what we have learned about the donors and organizations engaged in girl work, the policy and program efforts underway, and current and future directions for the field. It is hoped that the findings and considerations emerging from this mapping exercise will contribute toward a more strategic and coordinated effort to mobilize additional actors, resources and ideas on behalf of girls around the world.
