Download or read book Gender and Law written by Lorenzo Cotula and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women constitute a large portion of the economically active population engaged in agriculture. International instruments on human rights, the environment and sustainable development reaffirm the principle of non-discrimination on the basis of sex or gender. Yet women often face gendered obstacles in realizing their rights and feeding their families. This study analyses the gender dimension of agriculture-related legislation in a selection of different countries around the world, examining the legal status of women in three key areas: rights to land and other natural resources; rights of women agricultural workers; and rights concerning women's agricultural self-employment activities, ranging from women's status in rural cooperatives to their access to credit, training and extension services.

Book excerpt: Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a changing world, how can we be sure that women as well as men entrepreneurs and workers obtain the benefit from these changes? Ensuring that women have the same legal opportunities as men is one part of the picture. By measuring where the law treats men and women differently, Women, Business and the Law shines a light on how women's incentives or capacity to work are affected by the legal environment and provides a basis for improving regulation. The fourth edition in a series, Women, Business and the Law 2016: Getting to Equal examines laws and regulations affecting women's prospects as entrepreneurs and employees in 173 economies, across seven areas: accessing institutions, using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit, going to court, and protecting women from violence. The report's quantitative indicators are intended to inform research and policy discussions on how to improve women's economic opportunities and outcomes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a country cumbered with a legacy of strife, authoritarianism, repression and injustice, the right to be vindicated and assert your rights is extremely important. Karl Klare described our constitution as a transformative one which has the potential to ensure social change for the benefit of those previously advantaged if a purposive approach to its interpretation is adopted. Under our constitutional democracy all are equal under the law and further are inherently imbued with the rights to dignity and freedom (from violence). However, despite the constitutional guarantee of amongst others access to justice, in the wide sense, exercised mainly through the courts, it is a truism that in South Africa this right remains inaccessible to most especially those in the rural areas. One particularly vulnerable group I submit is rural women. In post-apartheid South Africa they are burdened with the legacy of discrimination on the basis of race, sex and class. In the face of an already exclusive legal culture these factors combine together to ensure that accessing the constitutional promises remains particularly difficult. Issues such as language, proximity to the courts, poverty and complex procedures persist to the detriment of rural women. I submit that our adversarial and retributive justice system is foreign, formal and thus inaccessible to rural women and there is a need, in light of our constitutions promises to make justice more accessible. I argue therefore that we need to be conscious of the manner in which our privilege excludes certain groups from the full enjoyment of the law. We need to learn to listen to the voice of the unfamiliar other if law is ever to move from the ideological to the practical realm in the lives of these women. I argue further that this is possible through the use of narratives as a tool of critique and a vehicle for consciousness. Copyright.
Download or read book Rural Women Battering and the Justice System written by Neil Websdale and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1997-11-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on his ethnographic research in rural areas of Kentucky, the author of this book presents a thorough look at the experiences of battered women in rural communities. Neil Websdale demonstrates how rural patriarchy and an insidious ol' boy's network of law enforcement and local politics sustains and reproduces the subordinate, vulnerable, isolated position of many rural women. Taking into account that traditional patterns of intervention can often put women in isolated communities at further risk, the author recommends a coordinated multi-agency approach to rural battering, spearheaded by the agencies of state feminism.
Download or read book The Gender of Memory written by Gail Hershatter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry? In this book, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of seventy-two elderly women in rural Shaanxi province during the revolutionary decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Interweaving these women’s life histories with insightful analysis, Hershatter shows how Party-state policy became local and personal, and how it affected women’s agricultural work, domestic routines, activism, marriage, childbirth, and parenting—even their notions of virtue and respectability. The women narrate their pasts from the vantage point of the present and highlight their enduring virtues, important achievements, and most deeply harbored grievances. In showing what memories can tell us about gender as an axis of power, difference, and collectivity in 1950s rural China and the present, Hershatter powerfully examines the nature of socialism and how gender figured in its creation.
