“…Such burgeoning popular recognition may have a significant effect on OAE leaders' awareness as Cook (2001) asserted that OAE subcultural norms tend to reflect those in the wider culture. Another influence may be the ever-growing catalog of scholarship about gender inequity and the need for men's allyship in OAE (e.g., Warren et al, 2018). For example, Theo noted the need to consider the power dynamics when working with a woman coleader.…”

“…Such a statement about power dynamics may be indicative of a hegemonic masculine assumption that men exist in a superior position within a gendered hierarchy. Alternatively, it could reflect an awareness of the scholarship (e.g., Warren et al, 2018, which explicitly attributes power to men when advocating for men's allyship).…”

“…The students' attitudes may be reflective of a recognized issue in OAE culture that students have less confidence in women leaders (Cousineau & Roth, 2012), reflecting pervasive gender norms that devalue women's capacity (Manne, 2010). The joint actions of James and his coleader may indicate a growing willingness amongst men OE leaders to recognize and address sexism and "support" (p. 254) women coleaders as allies, per Warren et al (2018).…”

“…For example, both Jordan (1992) and Humberstone (2000) raised questions about the male-dominated history of the field and its promotion of masculinized attitudes and assumptions. Numerous other OAE leaders and academics have described the deleterious effects of gendered values, practices, (Gray, 2016; Newbery, 2003; Tilstra et al, 2022) and hidden curriculum (Warren et al, 2018) on women in the field. Such issues were largely unnoticed by men outdoor leaders (Gray et al, 2017), possibly due to men's sense of privilege and entitlement (Flood, 2019).…”

Background: Scholarship has demonstrated the influence of hegemonic masculine norms on values and practices in outdoor adventure education. However, recent publications indicate that men outdoor leaders may be increasingly aware of gender biases and consequently changing their practice. To date, few publications have considered men outdoor leaders’ understanding of masculinity in the field and how it affects their practice and professional interactions. Purpose: This study critically examined multiple aspects of gender relations from men outdoor leaders’ perspectives to determine if observed changes in some men's practice signal changes toward a more equitable understanding of masculinity or merely a pivot to maintain the status quo. Methodology/Approach: A single-embedded case study methodology was employed. Interview, observation, and artifact data were collected from 18 men outdoor adventure education leaders across the United States and Canada. Findings/Conclusions: Participants noted awareness of gender inequity and articulated some strategies employed to combat sexism, particularly those associated with gendered student expectations. However, multiple participants also demonstrated gendered blind spots and supported gender hierarchy. Implications: Participants’ demonstrated awareness of gender issues, but the considerable blind spots identified in the data indicate a troubling lack of critical self-reflection and provide support for dominant hybrid masculinity.

Purpose: Women in the research area are totally ignorant of their potential and individuality, which results in unhealthy lives. They also live in poverty and the most deplorable conditions of ignorance. They are driven by a strong desire to escape poverty. They take part in self-help group’ income-generating activities in addition to other things they do. However, from the time they first join Self Help Groups through the end of their involvement in such activities, their socio-economic situation pushes them to deal with various issues. Rural women are the most marginalized group and are excluded from both economic and social life. Microcredit is the most effective tool for empowering women since it gives them the ability to meet their needs throughout their lives. The study comes to the conclusion that self-help group members’ capacity, capability, professional, and entrepreneurial skills need to be improved in order to make them successfully engaged in income-generating activities. SHG taught members approach dealing with difficulties with greater confidence, entrepreneurial skill, knowledge, and a more upbeat attitude. The expansion of group members’ businesses and income-generating endeavors is essential for the self-help group to continue to exist. Also, loans should be provided to these women in reasonable rate and they should have knowledge about all the financial aspects of loan which is lacking currently. Design/Methodology/Approach: The majority of the data included in the current paper comes from secondary sources. The government’s website was used to obtain secondary data, while other publications such as journal articles and government publications were used as verified sources. Findings: After joining the group, it is discovered that access to education, health care, nutritious food, and housing has increased. All of them agree that their understanding of the value of children’s education, health, finance, and their roles in society has increased. As a result of their association with the group, they feel more confident about leading better lives. Originality/Value: This study investigates the relationship between SHGs, microfinance organizations, and the empowerment of women. The contribution of SHG to the development of women’s rights and its impact on women’s engagement in the business field. Paper type: Review Paper
