Abstract:

Currently the whole world recognizes equal rights and obligations for every citizen, including gender issues. However, the reality shows that women are left behind or disadvantaged more than men, including in the fields of education, health, employment, mastery and utilization of science and technology. Although not all elements of society recognize the role of women in development, several regions have recognized the success of women. Not only in developed countries or big cities but also in small towns. This study aims to determine the role of women in community development. There is a group of women who are aware of the positive potential, and the detrimental factors for them in terms of gender. These adverse factors include trafficking in women, prostitution, marginalization of women, feeling of position as second-class citizens compared to men, and views about women playing less political or bureaucratic roles, and so on.

Abstract:

The study explored the potential of social media for women mobilization to attain community development. Social media has become a very powerful platform that informs and educates its users. Community development is the advancement and progress of a particular community. Women play a vital role in community development. The study seeks to know the effects of social media in mobilizing women as well as examining how social media can help in women empowerment for community development. For the purpose of this study, the Diffusion of Innovation theory was employed to further expatiate the impact of social media for community development. Conclusively, it can be seen as though social media is very essential in mobilizing women for community development. Social media plays a vital role in enhancing community development. However, government should support programs that empower women. It is recommended that Development Agencies and State Ministry of Women Affairs should increase advocacy visits to women in the communities.

Abstract:

Since the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion-Social Elevation (RISC-RISE) was founded in 2007 (RISC at the time), it has been characterized by two important traits: (1) a commitment to the principle of leadership within discussions of sustainable development; and (2) the presence of strong women leaders in the consortium’s governance structures and scientific initiatives. Neither RISC-RISE nor Regions & Cohesion would have thrived without the leadership shown throughout their decade of existence by a cross-regional community of strong women leaders. These women contributed to the success of these initiatives through the promotion of a people-based vision of sustainability (including gendered perspectives), an inclusive academic dialogue (including feminist approaches), and community engagement (including women leaders). Women engaged and directed this dialogue.

Abstract:

Women’s empowerment across industries have been prioritized alongside aims to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and community development across the globe. For years now, tourism industries have been lauded for the opportunities it provide to women who comprise majority of the industry’s workforce. Despite this, studies suggest that women’s participation in tourism do not necessarily contribute to their empowerment, nor result to their equality in the industry. In building on the existing discourses, this study examines the existing literature to investigate the impact of women’s participation on their empowerment and its impact on community development. By conducting a literature review, a conceptual model based on the study’s propositions illustrate the relationship between women’s participation and empowerment in tourism. The findings of the study suggest that not all forms of tourism activities contribute to the empowerment of women. More specifically, the results reveal that while women’s participation positively influences the psychological and economic empowerment of women, its positive impact on their political and social empowerment remain questionable. Similarly, the results reveal the positive influence of women’s economic empowerment on community development remain challenged.

Abstract:

The study aimed to identify the role of learning based on community development in the development of women to achieve the goals of sustainable development, by studying the case of women beneficiaries of comprehensive scientific and electronic literacy programs implemented by UNESCO and the UNESCO Chair for Women in Science and Technology. The study was based on several assumptions, namely: - Adopting education and learning projects based on community development by targeting the segment of women helps achieve sustainable development goals. - Expanding women's participation in education and learning projects based on community development helps bridge the gaps associated with development needs in the community. - Benefiting from local materials and products in education and learning projects based on community development facilitates the effective contribution of women to development as a result of the availability of their productive needs from the local environment. The research used the descriptive method, which works to describe information and facts and analyze the content in a scientific and objective manner. It also used the case study method, which is based on studying the case of the beneficiaries of learning projects based on community development. The study concluded the following conclusions: 1. UNESCO projects have contributed to reducing the scientific and electronic illiteracy rate among women, which has contributed to achieving Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals. 2. The projects contributed to reducing poverty and hunger among women, which contributed to achieving Goal 1 and Goal 2 for sustainable development. 3. The projects contributed to increasing production in many products, which had a positive impact on development, which contributed to achieving Goal 8 for sustainable development .. 4. The projects did not contribute to achieving the goal 13th of a healthy environment due to the lack of implementation of programs that contribute to environmental sanitation, such as waste recycling programs and other similar programmes. 5. The use of local natural resources contributed to the facilitation and availability of production, which helped achieve the 12th goal of sustainable development. 6.Targeting women with education and training to provide job opportunities and increase income contributed to achieving Goal 3 and Goal 5 of sustainable development. The study also recommended the following: 1. The need for more learning programs based on community development. 2. Increasing focus on productive projects from natural resources with the latest technological developments in training. 3. The necessity of training on e-marketing skills for local products . 4.The necessity of training on canning and packaging skills for vegetables and fruits that are abundantly available in certain seasons in order to reduce the waste of natural resources. 5. Creating partnerships between state governments, civil society and international organizations to create national productive projects for the manufacture of natural resources by utilizing the skills and experiences of women beneficiaries and creating job opportunities for them. 6. The necessity to conduct programs contriuting to enviromental sanitation such as. waste recycling programs and other similar programmes.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of the professional development of women in the academic community and the identification of gender barriers characteristic of the Russian science system. The materials of the integrated applied research (online survey of young Russian scientists, N = 105; in-depth interview of young Russian scientists, N = 20)showed that the development of the personnel potential of science is fraught with difficulties both of a general nature (financial, organizational, moral and ethical), and gender-conditioned, which puts young women scientists in a situation of multiple barriers. Objective gender barriers arise in connection with the reproductive function of women and the resulting double employment, which, in the absence of effective mechanisms of state support, severely limits career opportunities. Cultural barriers are associated with the stereotypical understanding of the binary roles of a man and a woman, which is characteristic of the Russian mentality.

Abstract:

In Bolivia, part of the public management of the Plurinational State is to conduct a development planning process within the framework of living well, contemplating the enactment of Law No. 777 of the Comprehensive State Planning System - SPIE, Patriotic Agenda 2025 and the Economic and Social Development Plan 2021-2025. Governance implies the participation of men and women, where it is important to actively involve women to participate in the definition of policies and processes at global, national and local levels and influence the institutions that produce them makes it more likely that these respond to different needs and situations, these changes should result in a more gender-sensitive governance. Women's equal participation in governance is an important end in itself, considering that it is a basic right of women who are so often deprived of a voice in decision-making at all levels. In this sense, the objective of this essay is to visualize if the regulations and formulations inherent to the strategic development planning of the Plurinational State of Bolivia are reflected in the participation of women in the governance of the Achica Arriba community. The community of Achica Arriba is an example of the inclusion of the duality Man-Woman (Chacha-Warmi) where the husband and wife share a position in the organic structure of the community, both attend the meetings and lead the meetings, however, there is still a certain lag of women in the participation and decision making in the community. Likewise, the exclusion of "single" women without a partner in senior management positions is noteworthy, as they only have the option of accessing the last position, which diminishes their role in society within the community. Reflecting part of the inequity in governance within the community. Women have a fundamental role in the community, as they carry out productive activities related to the care of livestock, crop production, and reproductive activities concerning the care of children, forming part of community production and sovereign access to food.

Abstract:

The term ‘community’ is an integral part of the discourse regarding social-service and human-service delivery in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Yet, there are a host of meanings and goals that are part of the project of community; these meanings reflect the ambiguous position of community with respect to ideas of publicity and privacy. In this paper I explore some of those meanings and goals through the use of interviews with women who work in nonprofit, community-based organizations that support human and social services. The focus is on the ways in which the women frame the concept of community and the ways in which these may be part of a strategy to create political and material spaces for caring, empowerment, and justice.

Abstract:

The need to integrate the Nigerian women fully into the country’s development process poses a challenge which cannot be ignored. This is because societal development or progress cannot be achieved where the needs and contributions of half of the population who are women are downgraded, marginalized or ignored. The paper interrogates the perceived or real marginalization of women in the scheme of things in Nigeria in the face of women’s enormous propensity to contribute meaningfully to societal development. The study relied on secondary source of data collection and adopted “Decisional model” or approach as its analytical framework. The study found that woman’s potential contributions to societal development whether at the community or national level are often neglected and wasted due to some archaic traditions about the status of women in the society. The paper recommended that women be accorded their pride of place to make useful contributions to the progress of the Nigerian nation.

Abstract:

Abstract Echoing the call to incorporate the intersectionality framework into studies of gender structure, this paper applied the framework to re-analyse the quantitative and qualitative findings of an evaluation study on a women empowerment community project in Hong Kong. This effort revealed the importance of the gender structure’s dimension of sexual division of labour and the intersectional effects of gender, race and class in explaining the mixed traditional and progressive views in different items within a domain and across different domains of the gender division of labour, specifically the marital, parental, employment, social activities and education domains. The low-income migrant women have upheld different traditional ideas in these domains. However, in contrast with the richer and local women who also shared these traditional views, low-income migrant women in this study questioned some prevailing ideas in these domains, due to their need to survive the conditions defined by the intersection of gender, race and class. The findings of this study, despite being preliminary and limited, demonstrate the significance and feasibility of studying gender structure adopting the perspective of intersectionality. Arguably, this lack of understanding of the intersectional effects diminishes the effectiveness of community intervention. In light of the paucity of research adopting the intersectionality framework in the community development field in general, and a similar deficit in the feminist and community development fields in Hong Kong in particular, the failure to adopt the intersectionality framework by the community project under consideration is understandable. It is likely that as this framework becomes more prominent in the future, given its potential to offer deeper insight into the dynamics of gender structure, community interventions for women of different identities could be strengthened.

Abstract:

Women from Dalit community face multiple subalternity—that is, they are subaltern with various levels of subalternity (as Dalits, as poor and as women). Dalit women face systematic oppression, social exclusion, direct and structural violence within their own community as well as from ‘upper’ castes. Women from Dalit community in Bihar suffer the same trauma. However, Bihar government has taken many steps to empower Dalit women in the state. Several schemes have been floated which are primarily centred on monetary benefits to this section of population. More interestingly, reservation of Dalits in panchayat three-tier systems in the state has made a significant dent in the power relations in which one finds convenient route to empower Dalit women.

Abstract:

This paper examined the implications of gender stereotypes on community development initiatives in Dadaab region of Garissa County in Kenya using data collected for an MA Thesis. The paper has been motivated by increased perceptions that gender stereotyping has continued to bar development especially in developing countries such as Kenya. The Specific objectives of this study were; to examine how socially-constructed gender norms influence community development in Dadaab Sub County, to explore how religious beliefs on gender influence community development, and to assess the influence of cultural beliefs on gender in community development in Dadaab Sub County. The study adopted correlational design which engaged 293 men and women respondents selected through Convenience sampling. Social role and gender schema theories were used to explain behavior of men and women based on societal expectations and the process of gender construction and maintenance through cognitive organization and interpretation. Data was collected using focus groups and interview schedule. The study found out that men and women had divided roles where responsibilities for men in the families included; protecting the families from danger, decision making, fending for the family as a bread winner, transportation of animals from one place to another, disciplining the children, fencing, digging wells and boreholes and ensuring the woman does not struggle to work in order to feed a family. Additional findings show that the community in Dadaab believes that gender equality is demeaning to men by affecting their roles in the family. The inequality has also deprived women of opportunity for employment hence, reduces the household income in the long run. The study found out that the cultural belief in the Somali community in Dadaab adopts a patriarchal framework, where the man is expected to be the breadwinner and head of the household with an obligation of providing the family with steady and reliable income. The study recommends deconstruction of the patriarchal nature of the Somali community that downplays the role of women in society by way of policy to manage stereotyping of women and advocate for gender equality and social inclusion and participation of both for sustainable development.

Abstract:

Building communities is one way to limit inequality in the global development process. In Indonesia, that principle can best be illustrated in the Hindu Balinese compound. But does discrimination against women, especially those of lower class and caste, fundamentally undermine the community? Feminists contend so, but what is the nature of the pressure on Balinese women? Why is this experienced? How could this discrimination be resolved? Drawing on a wider intersectional feminism, primary data from 72 people and thematic analysis, it seems both the reproductive and property rights of Balinese women are constrained. But ordinary Balinese women, activists, and intellectuals do not share the Western feminist case of dismantling communities for individual human rights. Instead, Balinese people largely advocate Hindu community alternatives, at the heart of which is strengthening the institution of ‘nyentana’. This alternative helps to decolonize “gender,” and reproductive justice, while putting the case for studying social economics a bit more in development studies.

This case focuses on the Little League Softball World Series and the potential interest and growth of youth softball. The case outlines current trends and highlights potential opportunities to grow the game after a 2020 decision to move the Little League Softball World Series from Portland, Oregon, where it had been hosted for over 25 years, to Greenville, North Carolina. This case challenges students to (a) examine how sports organizations must be intentional about growing a sport, (b) develop new solutions to involve the local community, and (c) find new and effective ways to promote a girls’ sport (and an international event at the local level) in a manner that advances women in sport. It is intended for use in strategic management, event management, and/or contemporary sport issue courses. The case provides instructors with the opportunity to highlight the importance of advancing diversity in youth sport, with an emphasis on community impact, and effective strategies to promote women in sport.

Abstract:

Women are key factors in any society. No doubt, their sidelining or exclusion in the political arena and other decision making process is a problem that cannot be overlooked or swallowed hook, line and sinker. In Rivers State, the Judiciary arm of government is on hold presently because of a female appointment into the office of the Chief Justice of the State. This development motivated the study which examined women participation in grass-root politics: A community development perspective. The study with a sample size of 500 respondents, identified economical disadvantage, phobia for political vices amongst others as barriers to women participation in Rivers State grass-root politics. On the influence of women participation in politics on community development, it was accepted that women participation in politics, will increase women commitment to community goals and objectives achievement, influence and promote policies and programmes for the advancement of the women. Based on these findings, the study recommended sensitization and continuous creation of awareness to inform women on the need to be economically empowered as a way of facilitating their entry and relevance into politics, which will hitherto enhance development of their communities.

Abstract:

The study’s objective was to examine the relations between successful Ethiopian immigrant women in Israel and their traditional community, as well as the strategies they adopt to contend with its expectations. Based on a qualitative life and work history methodology, the data were collected from 34 successful women who emigrated from Ethiopia to Israel. Results show three dialectical axes scrutinizing the interrelations of the participants with their community (found both between different participants and within the same woman): (a) trenchant criticism of the community coupled with praise and pride, (b) community as a support base or as hindering personal development, and (c) a desire for separation/detachment from community coupled with a desire to support the community. The findings demonstrate how the Ethiopian women contend with the normative demands of two different, clashing systems: the Ethiopian community-family system and Israel’s neoliberal labor market.

Abstract:

Rural women in South Africa are important role players in community development; to withhold information from them is to hold back the potential for rural development. However, obstacles such as poverty, illiteracy, fear, poor access to public agencies, and lack of knowledge about the right to information and how or where to ask for it has deprived women of access to information. Since post-apartheid South Africa, government has made progress toward empowering women. Community radio is the only accessible and readily affordable medium within the rural community and can play a significant role in rural development of women. This article adopts the case study research approach through the use of document analysis and interviews to investigate the role of two community radio stations in selected areas of the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa with regard to rural development and the dissemination of information to women listeners. It also suggests ways by which these radios may be used to enhance access to information by rural women in South Africa. The findings reveal that although community radio stations are recognised as support systems for information dissemination in rural communities, their role in information dissemination and the community development of women has not been fully explored. This article suggests ways in which the services of community radios may be enhanced by the provision of information to women for rural development.

Abstract:

This article discusses gender, especially in women’s job qualifications, and provides opportunities for women in society. Gender issues are expected to be addressed, but what about the people of Wakan village who still use patriarchal culture daily? It causes women to be unable to work according to their talents. This study refers to Foucault's theory of knowledge and power regime. In contrast, the research method uses descriptive qualitative research, so the data collection technique uses a depiction of people’s lives that are happening now. The results show that women in Wakan Village still experience discrimination by men, especially in society, both in public and other spaces. It started from the community’s belief in seeing these women so that the role of women was still minimal in any case. Even though both men and society provide opportunities for women, every opportunity is still supervised by men, so all opportunities and roles of women cannot equal the roles of men, which causes women to be subordinated.

Abstract:

This paper seeks to evaluate the conception of rural women’s work evident in the trajectory of development policy in India. It argues that the feature of self-initiated or voluntary participation in development for women is not restricted to the period of structural adjustment. Its antecedents lie within earlier conceptions of national development and women’s role within it which is consistently characterised by a reliance on voluntarism on the part of unspecified community actors. Thus, while the shifting of the onus of women’s development from community voluntarism to small group voluntarism is an important feature of the contemporary period, it does, at another level, extend the trajectory of state policy that has failed to take central responsibility for working women in rural India. Parallel to the shifts in the conception of the rural woman as a receptacle of policy to a consumer of development initiatives through the post-Independence decades is thus the persistence of a half-baked notion of the rural working woman.

Abstract:

Scholars interested in Aboriginal community development have paid little attention to the important roles and contributions of women and young people. An extensive quantitative survey - the first such survey undertaken - provides valuable insights into the views and activities of Northern Saskatchewan Aboriginal residents. By assessing the extent of community participation and the support of residents for community engagement, this study demonstrates a deep and broad commitment to working at the community level. The study also shows stark differences between onand off-reserve populations: on-reserve members have a very homogenous pattern of community engagement, while off-reserve Aboriginal people demonstrate significant differences by age and gender. These findings have important implications for the understanding and implementation of Aboriginal community development.

Abstract:

The study examines the relationship between social capital and women’s involvement in a community development project; assesses the relationship between rural women literacy level and social capital leverage, and determines the interaction effect of literacy level and social capital leverage on rural women involved in community development projects. This research was conducted in Southwestern Nigeria using a descriptive survey research design followed by qualitative methods for in-depth analysis. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 720 rural women from randomly selected three states in Southwestern Nigeria. Moreover, we also conducted in-depth interviews with 12 women (6 each of literate and non-literate) who had indicated participation in community development projects and conducted a focus group discussion in each of the three selected states. The findings reveal that the most significant predictors of rural women involvement in community development are: participation in adult literacy programme; literacy level; strong interaction with people; membership of community development committees; participation in the decision making process and discussion of development issues with friends. Moreover, the number of literate women who made use of social capital to participate in community development is high. The study, therefore, concludes that the relationship between literacy and social capital is strong.

Abstract:

1536 Background: Current educational materials about inherited breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) have not been culturally tailored for the Black community, which may contribute to lower levels of awareness about this topic. Through an academic and community partnership, realized through a Community Advisory Panel (CAP) comprised of breast cancer survivors, advocates, community leaders, and health care providers, this need was identified. Methods: Utilizing a phased approach implemented through this academic and community partnership, a culturally tailored brochure and booklet about HBOC for the Black community were developed and reviewed. To evaluate the brochure, three focus groups were conducted by race-concordant moderators. HBOC was discussed with Black women from diverse backgrounds, including those with and without breast cancer (n = 46). Summaries were created from audiotapes and handwritten notes and content was analyzed based on Grounded Theory, after which the brochure was revised. Similarly, revisions to the booklet were made based on feedback obtained about the brochure. Materials were then presented to the CAP for re-review. Results: From this iterative process, the key content identified as areas for improvement were: (1) Inclusion of breast cancer information specific to Black women; (2) Use of the term “Black”; (3) Inclusion of African American flag colors; (4) Clarification of the concept of genetic counseling; and (5) Enhancing relevance of information for young women. Conclusions: The CAP and study participants recognized the need for culturally relevant educational materials addressing HBOC in the Black community. Their feedback identified important areas for improvement which have been implemented in the design of a culturally tailored brochure that is available for widespread dissemination. Further evaluation of the booklet is currently in progress. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:

In January 1990, we began working with Moni Nag and Pertti Pelto on a Ford Foundation-funded project entitled "Increasing Social Science Research Capacity for Women's Reproductive Health in India." Little research had been carried out on women's reproductive health in India, and the majority of studies that had been done were clinic-based. The one community-based epidemiological study of gynecological disease that had been published found that 92 percent of rural Indian women (in a sample of 650) had one or more gynecological or sexually transmitted diseases, with an average of 3.6 diseases per woman (R. A. Bang, A. T. Bang, M. Baitule, Y. Choudhary, S. Sarmukaddam, and O. Tale, "High Prevalence of Gynecological Diseases in Rural Indian Women," The Lancet [January 14, 1989]). In addition to the lack of epidemiological data, there was a paucity of sociocultural information on how women perceive their own health and morbidity and what factors influence care seeking by and for Indian women.
