“…This is in turn affects how menstruating women perceive themselves (Grandey et al , 2020). From one of the preceding studies, it is found that women are being mentally formed in a way that they think that menstruation is a shameful thing and consider it as a taboo (Fahs, 2013, p. 78). The stigma and secrecy that surrounds menstruation, and the consequent shame and embarrassment–all contributes to stereotype threat.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how menstruation specific stigma and behavior impacts female employee performance in Bangladesh. Besides, it aims to investigate if nonwork-related stress has any mediating role in the menstruation-related stigma–employee performance and menstruation-related behavior–employee performance relationship.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual model is developed and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) 25. A total of 400 respondents participated in a self-administered survey, of which 375 questionnaires were retained after discarding questionnaires with incomplete responses.FindingsStigma and behavior related to menstruation were found to have a significant negative effect on female employee performance. Menstruation specific nonwork-related stress was found to partially mediate between menstruation-related stigma–employee performance and menstruation-related behavior–employee performance relationship.Originality/valueThis is the first study to link menstruation specific stigma and behavior and female employee performance using SEM in the context of the Bangladeshi women employees. It is also the first study to investigate the mediating role of nonwork-related stress in the menstruation specific stigma–employee performance and menstruation specific behavior–employee performance relationship in the context of Bangladeshi women employees.

“…The production of panic, in essence, demonstrates the threat and damage to the existing order and to people's feelings of comfort and security (Fahs, Dudy, & Stage, 2013). Women's studies department chairs and professors have routinely discussed the consequences of living with the possibility of shutting down their programs, cutting funding, or otherwise redirecting resources away from women's studies, even while they acknowledge the normal occurrences of fully enrolled classes and clear impact on campuses and beyond (Fahs, 2013;Scott, 2008).…”

<p>Because women’s studies radically challenges social hierarchies and lacks a unified identity and canon of thought, it often negotiates a precarious position within the modern corporatized university. At the same time, women’s studies offers—by virtue of its interdisciplinary, critical, and “infectious” structure—cutting-edge perspectives and goals that set it apart from more traditional fields. This paper theorizes that one future pedagogical priority of women’s studies is to train students not only to master a body of knowledge but also to serve as symbolic “viruses” that infect, unsettle, and disrupt traditional and entrenched fields. In this essay, we first posit how the metaphor of the virus in part exemplifies an ideal feminist pedagogy, and we then investigate how both women’s studies <em>and </em>the spread of actual viruses (e.g., Ebola, HIV) produce similar kinds of emotional responses in others. By looking at triviality, mockery, panic, and anger that women’s studies as a field elicits, we conclude by outlining the stakes of framing women’s studies as an infectious, insurrectional, and potentially dangerous, field of study. In doing so, we frame two new priorities for women’s studies—training male students as viruses and embracing “negative” stereotypes of feminist professors—as important future directions for the potentially liberatory aspects of the field.</p>

Recently at the international level has been increased the interest in identifying effective practices that address the particular needs of young girls. This was motivated precisely by the high contact of girls who consume drugs and have contact with the juvenile Justice System. The literature review reveals that in general there are very few specific programs who address girls needs in the prevention of drug addiction. In addition are also very few who have published their results disaggregated by sex. So the need for study and evaluation are extremely necessary to provide an adequate response to their needs. Therefore, this paper reviews and analyzes the different discourses around the success and risk factors as well as the specific programs in drug prevention with girls and young women.
