They wanted to find out who the agents are, how they target the women and how they organise the travel across borders avoiding the attention of the authorities. Ulrikke Moustgaard reveals the hidden pattern behind the criminal trade of trafficking in women and young girls. PAGE 4 “YOU WILL BE SOLD LIKE A DOLL” Public awareness of the trafficking problem is low in Lithuania as well as in the other Baltic countries. Most people are not aware of the dangers of trafficking. The findings of the public opinion survey done by IOM indicated the urgent need for an information campaign. The main concept-image was this "human marionette" hung in her bare skin. PAGE 10 contents: WHY DO MEN BUY SEX? Professor Sven-Axel Månsson has studied prostitution since the mid-70’s, starting with an investigation into the nightclub culture. From the mid-80’s he has mainly focused on men as ersen/Samfoto buyers of sex and their motivations. In 1999 the law about sexual services came into force in Sweden, criminalizing those who buy sex.

    Paper to Gender, Work and Organization, Keele University, 21-23 June 2010 Stream Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Growth: Gender perspectives Authors PhD, Katarina Pettersson, Nordregio PhD, Sigrid Hedin, Nordregio Corresponding Author Senior Research Fellow, PhD Katarina Pettersson Nordregio (Nordic Centre for Spatial Development) PO Box 1658 SE-111 86 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Supporting Women’s Entrepreneurship in the Nordic Countries – A Critical Analysis of National polices in a Gender perspective Abstract Recent developments within international organisations have put a strong emphasis on supporting the development of women entrepreneurs. This paper aims at analysing national state support programmes for women’s entrepreneurship, in the Nordic countries, in a gender perspective. The paper in this way performs a more systematic Nordic comparative analysis of the varying policy goals, underlying paradigms and discourses regarding support for women’s entrepreneurship in a gender perspective, which have until now been missing. We also apply a specific focus on their spatial perspective. We conclude that the Nordic countries are marked by some differences in their efforts to support women’s entrepreneurship. All countries have a programme or an action plan with the aim of supporting women’s entrepreneurship, but Iceland. The programmes vary in their underlying paradigms and rationales for supporting women’s entrepreneurship: We can place Norway at one end of the spectrum as its’ policy programme is most clearly influenced by a feminist empowerment paradigm seeking to tailor and/or transforming the existing support system through measures aimed at women. At the other end of the spectrum we have Denmark focusing most clearly on economic growth in line with a neo-liberal paradigm.

Collected by Hedvig Stahre, master of political science - for the Nordic-Arab Research Collaboration Project “New Avenues for Women”. 2015. The Nordic-Arab research collaboration project, ”New Avenues for Political Influence for Women in the Arab region”, financed by the Swedish Research Council. Project leader: Drude Dahlerup. Arab partner: Center for Arab Women for Training and Research, CAWTAR Mapping Scandinavian Research about Women in Public Life, published in English 1970-2015. Collected by Hedvig Stahre, master of political science. Introduction This mapping is made for the benefit of researchers abroad, who want to learn about Gender Studies in the Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden on the theme of women/gender in public life1. Most of the research literature - especially from the first decades of Nordic Women’s Studies/Gender Studies - was published in the native languages, and is therefore not included here. But with the development of Gender Studies an increasing number of publications would appear in English. See also the essay by Drude Dahlerup on “The development of Women’s Studies/Gender Studies in the social sciences in the Scandinavian countries”, an overview over the main approaches in Nordic Women’s Studies/Gender Studies, based on all publications within this research field. Both documents are available at www.statsvet.su.se/wip What is ‘public life’? The differentiation between what is public and what is private life has been discussed in many different fora, and is a contested issue also in gender research.

  • Overview of Achievements and Challenges in Promoting Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment
    Denmark Response from the Danish Government to the Questionnaire to Governments on Implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action (1995) and the Outcome of the Twenty-Third Special Session of the General Assembly (2000) For preparation of regional review and appraisals in the context of the 15th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 2010 Part One: Overview of achievements and challenges in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment Introduction: Gender equality is a pivotal element of Denmark‟s democracy and a basic principle of Danish politics. It is an element based on respect for human rights and on fundamental freedoms in all areas of society - in political, economic, social, cultural and civil spheres of life. Denmark aims at securing de jure as well as de facto gender equality for women and men. Women and men have the same rights, obligations and opportunities in all fields of society. Policy on gender equality The Gender Equality Board handles actual complaints about discriminatory treatment of women and men. By 1 January 2009 a new general complaints board to consider complaints regarding discrimination based on gender, race, colour of the skin, religion or faith, age, disability or national, social or ethnic origin, political views or sexual orientation was established. With the set up of the new complaints board, the Gender Equality Board was closed down. The new board includes a chairman and two deputy chairmen who are judges as well as nine other members, who must be attorneys and who are to be appointed by the Minister for Employment subject to recommendation by the Minister for Gender Equality and the Minister for Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs.

Jill Mackenzie Martiniuk Mount Laurel, New Jersey M.A. University of Virginia, 2009 M.A. La Salle University, 2007 B.A. Emory University, 2003 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty Of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Slavic Languages & Literatures University of Virginia May 2015 © Copyright by Jill Martiniuk All Rights Reserved April 2015 Paved With Good Intentions: Venichka’s Journey of Redemption in Moskva- Petushki and its Relationship with Radishchev’s Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and Dante’s Divine Comedy. JILL MARTINIUK University of Virginia, Graduate School of Arts & Science, 2015 Dissertation Advisor: Edith Clowes ABSTRACT The goal of this dissertation is to examine the theme of redemption in Venedikt Erofeev’s 1969 poema Moskva-Petushki. Moskva-Petushki is a major underground work of the late Soviet postmodern period, which narrates the physical and spiritual journey of the protagonist from Moscow to the small factory town of Petushki on an electric train. Although Moskva-Petushki is usually viewed as a satire, this dissertation takes a new approach, viewing the poema as a journey of spiritual redemption. It examines the relationship between Moskva-Petushki (translated as Moscow to the End of the Line) and other major journeys of redemption—Radishchev’s Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, Milton’s Paradise Lost and Dante’s The Divine Comedy.
