“…Genel olarak STK'ların cinsiyet konusuna nasıl yaklaştıklarına dair araştırmalar (Dema, 2008), çeşitli bölge ya da ülkelerdeki kadın STK'ları ile ilgili çalışmalar (Al-Ali, 2003;Alvarez, 1999;Dogra, 2011) yapılmıştır. Ülkemizde de kadın hakları, kadın istihdamı ve sorunları, kadın STK'ları gibi konularda çeşitli çalışmalar (Gül, Yalçınoğlu ve Atlı, 2014;Kardam ve Ertürk, 1999;Kaypak ve Kahraman, 2016;Özaydınlık, 2014) bulunmakla birlikte kadın dernekleri örneğinde sosyal medya kullanımı ile ilgili çalışma sayısı (Aksu, 2017;Özkan, 2018) oldukça azdır.…”

Historically, women's movements, which started in our country during the Constitutional years, were strengthened in the 1970s and institutionalized in the 1990s. Today, a large number of civil society and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) are active in the field of women's rights and try to be heard in various media. NGOs in the field should give importance to public relations in order to reach a large mass as much as possible especially for the issues such as prevention of violence against women and children which its success is related to social responsibility sharing. Women NGOs perform various activities in different media to gain social support, such as other voluntary organizations. Internet and social media platforms are one of the main tools women NGOs use to reach the public. What is important here is how these organizations give information about different subjects in their fields in other words how they frame their messages. Because framing can affect personal and social perception. In this study, which aims to make the framing analysis of the web sites and Facebook shares of ten women NGOs working in our country, sharings have been analyzed according to the three basic framing strategies of the social movements which suggested by Gamson (1992) as social, consensus and collective action frames. As a result of the framing analysis supported by content analysis, it is concluded that the most preferred frame of these NGOs is the collective action frame.

“…The percentage of male and female aidworkers varies from study to study, and organization to organization. While a survey of aidworkers in Kosovo found that 51 per cent of the expatriate staff was female (Cardozo and Salama 2002), a study of Spanish development NGOs found that 67 per cent of the volunteers and 80 per cent of the technical assistants were female; however, the directors of the NGOs tended to be male (Dema 2008). Similarly Damman et al (2014) found that 57 per cent of MSF Holland's employees were female, but only 45 per cent of those promoted to management positions were women.…”

The Paradoxes of Aid Work

Silke Roth provides us with a candid insight into the life-world of aid workers in humanitarian and development programmes. She connects their personal experiences to the contemporary context of neo-liberal societies and lays bare how the multi-layered and ethnicised hierarchies within "aidland"notwithstandig the good intentions -reproduce existing global privilege and inequalities. The book addresses (aspiring) aid workers and is both sobering and inspiring, encouraging aid workers to reconsider the boundaries of "aidland", and seek to break the cycles where global inequalities are being produced.' Dorothea Hilhorst, Wageningen University, The Netherlands 'This is a first rate book. Silke Roth has written the best description to date of contemporary aid workers. Her analysis is rigorous, evidence-based and rich with the testimony of aid workers of all kinds. She has described aid workers to themselves and to others with limpid clarity. At last we have a book on aid from a critical scholar that is accessible and constructive.' Hugo Slim, University of Oxford, UK 'It is people, both staff and volunteers, who deliver the missions of aid organisations. By exploring the biographies of those working in the sector this book offers insights into factors, and perceptions, of essential interest to practitioners and employers: staff equity, gender issues, career motivation, and the impact of conditions of service.' Jonathan Potter, Executive Director, People In Aid 'Silke Roth brilliantly analyzes the paradoxes of aid-work. She discusses how aid is structured through North-South inequalities and neoliberal agendas. Despite the commitment and passion of people who are engaged in such work, aid-work does not live up to its promises. A path-breaking book.' Bandana Purkayastha, University of Connecticut, USA 'This book is an important and wide-ranging contribution to the growing literature on international aid as a form of work. Drawing on research with professionals from both the Global South and North, the book impressively highlights what characterises this work, and how people stay involved despite its often challenging and sometimes dangerous nature.' Anne-Meike Fechter, University of Sussex, UK'The best book on the aid world as it is today brought to life through a series of life histories. Written with crystal clear clarity. Well researched and a great read. I will buy a copy for each of my team of tutors and I will recommend it to all of my students.'

“…For the UK too, gender equality rights were formalised, particularly in employment, equal opportunities and the creation of new equality institutions, after joining the EEC the same year (Bashevkin, ; Millns and Skeet, ). For Spain, it was not until democracy in 1977 that a rapid shift towards European norms began (Dema, ), with the modification of the fascist legal framework and implementation of a Constitution.…”

Do laws regarding violence against or sexual exploitation of young people recognise gendered and other power dynamics? Cross-national comparison of legal texts can illustrate the benefits of framing issues of violence/gender/youth in certain ways and offer critical reflection on particular legal frameworks or cultural understandings. This policy review is based on an analysis of select laws regarding gender-related violence (GRV) as relates to young people in Italy, Ireland, Spain and the UK. Here, GRV is defined as sexist, sexualising or norm-driven bullying, harassment, discrimination or violence whoever is targeted. It therefore includes gender, sexuality and sex-gender normativities, as well as violence against women and girls. A tension emerges between granting young people agency and recognising the multiple, intersecting power relations that might limit and shape that agency. This article draws out the implications for the UK in particular, highlighting the absence of preventative measures and the need for a broader approach to combat GRV.
