This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an understanding of institutional reforms, gender-related policy dynamics, the role of different actors in the policy process, and the impact of a particular policy on the state of women’s political participation in Bangladesh. The discussion is set against the background of the Fourth World Conference on Women, 1995, in Beijing, in which a Platform for Action signed by heads of governments expressed their countries’ commitment to achieve ‘gender equality and empowerment of women’ through ensuring integration of the gender perspective at all levels. In Bangladesh, notable among the initiatives undertaken was the enactment of the Local Government (Union Parishads) (Second Amendment) of 1997, through which one-third of seats were reserved for women in the Union Parishad (UP) and the system of direct election was introduced to elect women members in reserved seats. The Act of 1997 is considered to be a milestone, since it has enhanced women’s participation in the local government politics significantly. Against this background, the specific research questions that have been addressed in this volume include: the necessity of reform for enhancing women’s participation in politics; the context against which the Government of Bangladesh enacted the Act and the reasons such an initiative was not taken earlier; the actors behind the reforms and their role in the reform process; and the impact of the reform on the state of women’s participation at the local level in Bangladesh.

This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Women Empowerment reached momentum in the second half of the 1990s. The Gender Development Index (GDI) and Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) put forward by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP 1995) measure some aspects of women empowerment and found that both are sufficient to measure women empowerment at the individual level. Women are the victims of social, political, religious, and economic subordination and deprivation in Indian society. Also, they are treated unequally and cannot participate in democratic activities equally with men. Women throughout the world have been struggling to break away the shackles of bondage, subjugation, oppression and all kinds of ill treatment both within and outside of their families. Without bringing them into the corridors of power where they can formulate policies and programs and implement them, the survival of women is very difficult. In our society, women's political participation as well as representation is very low. Women are also considered second-rate people throughout the world. The low representation of women is a consequence of many factors. Traditional cultural values, obligations to families and children to raise their children, lack of awareness and education, lack of political socialization etc. The constitutional, legal as well as administrative arrangements have led to many changes in women's lives in our society. Women's political empowerment implies the decentralization of power and authority in the deprived, oppressed and powerless people who have not been able to participate in the decision-making processes and implementation of policies and programs of both government organizations as well as familial and societal matters. The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment also created significant steps towards women's political participation. Today, women receive 'easy tickets' for elections by booking. This challenge lets women come back from the public sphere by present male rule and by other factors. But the quality of her performance is essential to inspect their quantity representation. Other women as a "proxy or rubber stamp" should increase their ability to make decisions and to perform in other important areas. For women who first enter the deep sea called politics, there should be many challenges. It is essential to ensure and improve one's participation in all those obstacles that are needed, particularly in the early stages of representation and the development of the support system.

More so, in developing and transitory nations in Asia. This book, written by Asian experts in solid waste management, explores the current situation in Asian countries including Pacific Islands. There are not many technical books of this kind, especially dedicated to this region of the world.

Several case studies from Asian nations are included to exemplify the real situation experienced. Discussions on MSW policy in these countries and their impacts on waste management and minimization (if any) are indeed an eye-opener. Undoubtedly, this book would be a pioneer in revealing the latest situation in the Asian region, which includes two of the world’s most dynamic nations in the economic growth. It is greatly envisaged to form an excellent source of reference in MSW management in Asia and Pacific Islands. This book will bridge the wide gap in available information between the developed and transitory/developing nations.

This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and analyzes gender mainstreaming in South Asia. Gender mainstreaming as a concept is about removing disparities between men and women – about equal access to resources, inclusion and participation in the public sphere, representation in government, and empowerment, all with the aim of achieving equal opportunities for men and women in family life, society, administration, politics, and the economy. The challenges of gender mainstreaming in South Asia are huge, especially in the contexts of patriarchal, religious, and caste-based social norms and values. Men’s dominance in politics, administration, and economic activities is distinctly visible. Women have been subservient to the policy preferences of their male counterparts. However, in recent years, more women are participating in politics at the local and national levels, in administration, and in formal economic activities. Have gender equality and equity been ensured in South Asia? This book focuses on how gender-related issues are incorporated into policy formulation and governance, how they have fared, what challenges they have encountered when these policies were put into practice, and their implications and fate in the context of five South Asian countries. The authors have used varied frameworks to analyze gender mainstreaming at the micro and macro levels. Written from public administration and political science perspectives, the book provides an overview of the possibilities and constraints of gender mainstreaming in a region, which is not only diverse in ethnicity and religion, but also in economic progress, political culture, and the state of governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Women Studies / Gender Studies, grade: A, , course: Master in Population gender and Development, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze gender differentials on academic performance in public and private schools. A school based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 240 students in public and private school in Lekhnath Municipality. The socio-economic development is a main thrust of the State. Unless the development is based on inclusive approach, the process of development remains incomplete. For inclusive development, gender development should be taken as a backbone. The goal of gender development in such context is to achieve a social development whereby, both male and female have equal opportunities in all aspects of social life including, education, health, economy, social position, and recognition. In Nepal, the situation is still very far away. The social status of women/girl in Nepal is generally low, a situation attributable to both the general poverty of the country and the gender-biased distribution of power and resources in the family and in society.
