Empowering Women and Strengthening Health Systems and Services Through Investing in Nursing and Midwifery Enterprise summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.

Download or read book Women s Empowerment in South Asia written by Pranab Panday and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic development in the poorest countries often makes better progress when women become involved in, and take a lead in, development projects. Encouraging women’s involvement, however, is often a major difficulty in societies where traditionally women’s status has been inferior and where women are expected to be domestic and passive. This book, based on extensive original research, considers major projects undertaken by non-governmental organisations in Bangladesh to encourage women’s participation. The book identifies the factors which motivated women to be active, discusses how women achieved the level of capacity and knowledge to enable them to serve their communities appropriately, assesses the major difficulties and recommends how empowerment projects can be improved in future. The book concludes that established institutions and traditional customs are often the greatest barrier to women’s participation.

Download or read book Women s Empowerment for Sustainability in Africa written by Robert Dibie and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses an open, explorative approach to deal with the different aspects of gender discrimination and gender empowerment policies, as well as their impact on economic development and capacity-building in several African countries. It uses primary and secondary data to present the argument that, without the full input of women, sustainable development will not be achieved in many African countries. This book is the first text written by knowledgeable gender issue experts that understand the culture of, and lived and conducted research in, Africa. It provides many examples of the relationships between gender and economic development around the African continent, highlighting different processes and practices. As such, the contributors here illustrate the impact of weak gender policies, and the ability to adequately develop female capacity building that could lead to wide-spread sustainable economic growth in Africa. They also explore a wide range of new dimensions and variables that are commonly ignored by other text books on gender equality. The book will help graduate, undergraduate students and other readers to understand women’s policies in the past, present, and future by analysing and illustrating cultural, political and socio-historical contexts which have shaped women’s role in the economic and sustainable development of Africa.

This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, women are facing social, economic, and cultural barriers impeding their autonomy and agency. Accelerated women empowerment programs often fail to attain their targets as envisaged by the policymakers due to a variety of reasons, with the most prominent being the deep-rooted cultural norms ingrained within society. In the era of globalization, empowerment of women demands new approaches and strategies that encourage the mainstreaming of gender equality as a societal norm. The Handbook of Research on New Dimensions of Gender Mainstreaming and Women Empowerment is a critical scholarly publication that examines global gender issues and new strategies for the promotion of women empowerment and gender mainstreaming in various spheres of women’s lives, including education and ICT, economic participation, health and sexuality, mental health, aging, law and judiciary, leadership, and decision making. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all major gender issues with novel ideas on gender mainstreaming being contributed by men and women authors from multidisciplinary backgrounds. Gender perspective and intersectional approach in the discourses make this handbook a unique contribution to the scholarship of social sciences and humanities. The book provides new theoretical inputs and practical directions to academicians, sociologists, social workers, psychologists, managers, lawyers, policy makers, and government officials in their efforts at gender mainstreaming. With a wide range of conceptual richness, this handbook is an excellent reference guide to students and researchers in programs pertaining to gender/women's studies, cultural studies, economics, sociology, social work, medicine, law, and management.

Download or read book An Examination of Capacity Building for Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures for Women in Sub Saharan Africa Empowerment Theory at the Individual Organizational and Community Levels written by Lisa De Leon and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge and application gaps exist for women farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa who are key agricultural players for economic growth and food security. This study examined capacity development for Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and empowerment of women farmers considering Rappaport (1984) and Zimmerman’s (1995, 2000) lenses of empowerment theory. The central research question was, how does capacity development for sanitary and phytosanitary measures empower women at the individual, organizational, and community levels in Sub-Saharan Africa? The study employed an embedded mixed methods design collecting data via an electronic survey from 23 Sub-Saharan women farmers; 22 from Ghana and one from Nigeria. Findings showed optimism about the future of farming and individual ability for success, notwithstanding male support. The participating women farmers expressed variations in perceived support from men, the government, and policies associated with food safety and farming. Cultural influences including gender and family dynamics did not show significant variation in responses. These women reported scarce use of technology as a resource and expressed preference for learning from other women farmers. Qualitative data revealed 20 themes grouped into four key areas: farming motivations, individual empowerment; food safety; and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The most common themes focused on personal agency as well as barriers to needed resources. These farmers did not express any specific impact of the pandemic on their own individual farming activities nor significant negative influence from cultural or family norms. Knowledge of SPS measures specifically were absent for these woman farmers although food safety importance was evident. Study conclusions were that the SPS measures/food safety education program as currently available does not benefit women. Second, individual empowerment is present among these women farmers despite limited support, and they have optimism for the future of their farms. Recommendations include increasing community mentoring programs and further development of technology access along with training to emphasize the value for gaining access to support and ensuring food safety. Increased visibility of community and government officials could help promote trust and support the adoption of innovative strategies for ensuring food safety and economic opportunities for future women farmers.
