“…Although there are many purposes for, and advantages of, promoting GE in communities, organisations and nationally (Woden et al, 2020), research suggests that achieving a sustained reduction in VAW will depend in part on promoting GE overall, along with a gender transformative approach to prevention programming (Ourwatch, 2015; WHO, 2019). In turn, many Australian and international policies and practice guides prescribe a multi‐strategy, multilevel and cross‐sector approach to prevention, in which priority is given to promoting GE, among the factors that reduce the probability of VAW (Council of Australian Governments, 2010; Ourwatch, 2015; Commonwealth of Australia, 2019; WHO, 2019; Kerr‐Wilson et al, 2020).…”

Low support for gender equality (GE) predicts attitudes supporting violence against women (VAW). However, little is known about the influence of attitudes toward different manifestations of GE. This study extends knowledge by assessing the relative strength of attitudes to GE across seven theoretically derived dimensions, and their association with attitudes toward VAW. 17,542 Australians participated in the 2017 National Community Attitudes Towards Violence Against Women Survey. Population means were calculated for the following scales formed from survey questions: the Community Attitudes Supportive of Violence Against Women Scale (CASVAWS), the Gender Equality Attitudes Scale (GEAS) and measures within the GEAS representing the theoretical dimensions. There was variation in support for GE between the measures. The lower the support for GE, the higher the support for VAW. Although all GEAS measures included in regression modelling contributed to variance in the CASVAWS, two accounted for more than half. The study suggests benefits in using a multidimensional model of GE to mitigate cultural | 375 WEBSTER ET al.

“…Worldwide, there is a considerable and persistent gender wealth gap [41]. While already contending with limited assets as compared to men, women in agriculture receive just a sliver of overall extension services and credit, greatly limiting their economic capacities and their overall access to economic diversification [21,42].…”

Toward a Feminist Agroecology

et al. 2021

Agroecology is gaining ground as a movement, science, and set of practices designed to advance a food systems transformation which subverts the patterns of farmer exploitation currently entrenched in dominant agricultural models. In order for agroecology to achieve its espoused twin aims of social and ecological wellbeing, women and other historically marginalized stakeholders must be empowered and centered as the movement’s protagonists. The importance of gender and social considerations is not limited to patently social aspects of the agroecological agenda, but bears relevance in every dimension of agroecology. Yet, issues related to gender have commanded relatively little attention in the agroeocological literature. In this paper, we review HLPE’s 13 defining principles of agroecology through a feminist lens to demonstrate the ways in which human dimensions and power dynamics are interwoven in every principle. Through this analysis, we demonstrate that a feminist approach is instrumental to establish a socially just and ecologically sustainable agroecological transition.

“…This percentage is likely to have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to school closures, the isolation of the elderly and an increase in the number of sick family members (WB 2020a). As a result, global wealth has decreased by $172 trillion, and the wealth of human capital is underestimated by about one-fifth worldwide (Wodon et al 2020).…”

This article is devoted to topical issues of gender equality in the energy sector. It is a retrospective analysis of the problem of gender equality over the past 50 years in various countries and sectors of the economy. The situation with the improvement of the gender balance in general is changing, but unevenly, which increases the relevance of attention to the gender factor in policy development, particularly in the energy sector. It has been established that in the energy sector, there remain so-called "glass walls" and "glass ceilings" for the development of women's professional careers, which leads to horizontal and vertical segregation. The main barriers to gender balance in the energy sector are highlighted. The institutional conditions for ensuring gender equality in the energy sector have allowed for a more comprehensive view of the problem of gender occupational segregation. A number of institutional problems of gender equality in the energy sector are highlighted and characterized. These include: inconsistency of formal norms of gender equality and existing economic practices; lack of gender mainstreaming in energy policy making due to insufficient attention to social relations; the creation of additional tensions in industrial relations to ensure gender equality; 20 unemployment of able-bodied women due to segregation in the labor market in the energy sector., Using a number of practical proposals for ensuring gender equality at the industrial and company levels, the authors propose a conceptual model of institutional support for gender equality in the energy sector. The implementation of these proposals would help eliminate gender imbalances in the energy sector and promote the development of energy companies on a sustainable basis.
