University students continue to be discriminated against based on their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual preferences, mental health conditions, religious beliefs, etc. Discrimination based on gender and physical appearance, such as skin color, race or ethnicity, stands out for being the one to which the most experiences of discrimination are attributed. The purpose of this research is to understand how experiences of discrimination based on physical appearance influence the academic experience and emotional well-being in university students. Students (12 in total) from a private university in the metropolitan area of Monterrey who indicated that they had experienced discrimination were interviewed. A grounded theory approach was used for their analysis. Different forms of discrimination based on physical appearance were found, such as discrimination based on skin color, weight, height and/or the use of tattoos that are interpreted as a stigma of social status. These influence students' self-esteem and stress, in addition to having negative academic effects such as demotivation and lack of concentration. Students have limited personal resources to face these actions received, and they do not find a close link to request help from university staff. These findings are discussed in light of other studies of discrimination based on physical appearance in universities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the legal framework of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the European Union in relation to discrimination and hatred towards women based on gender and religion. The importance of gender equality and religious freedom is highlighted, as well as the need to protect and promote these fundamental rights. The author conducts a thorough analysis of the norms and documents issued by these international organizations, with the aim of understanding how this issue is addressed. The importance of adopting an intersectional perspective to ensure the effective protection of women's rights is emphasized. The text analyzes norms and documents that offer a negative and limiting concept of women's rights in relation to religion. Resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and reports from the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief are mentioned. The legal framework of the Council of Europe and the European Union in relation to gender equality and non-discrimination based on religious grounds is also addressed. The book is recommended for those interested in understanding and implementing measures in these areas. [Extracted from the article]

The social discourses of young people aged 18 to 30 in Valencia were explored in the context of the emergent popularisation of feminism. Focus groups were used to analyse how youth address gender and equality issues. A structural sample was developed by considering two axes: the volume of global capital and the positions on the gender order. Nine focus groups were used to analyse the different discursive positions on feminism and gender issues, as well as the strategies for change provided. Discursive positions were analysed in relation to both the hypervisibility of feminism in the neoliberal context and the emergence of popular misogyny in opposition to the popularisation of feminisms.

Although a close relationship is known to exist between masculinity and the medical profession, the similarities that exist between medical identity and masculinity have yet to be established. Based on qualitative research, this article presents three types of similarities between medical identity and masculinity: normative, about performance, and phenomenological. The first ones include explicit and tacit norms, particularly the strength required by medical identity, predicated on a heroic-military conception of masculinity. Performance affinities refer to the enactment of medical identity and masculinity, and include entitlement, mansplaining, and expressions of toxic masculinity. The phenomenological similarities show that doctors and men coincide in having contradictory experiences. The article concludes that medical identity is a masculinized professional identity, which encourages gender discrimination and sexual harassment within the Mexican medical field.

The objective of this research was to establish the relationship between selfconcept, academic performance and gender among undergraduate students at a public university in the city of Pasto, Colombia. It was approached from an integrative perspective, with dominant status and sequential order: quantitative→ qualitative. A total of 684 students from first to tenth semester of 11 faculties participated. The AF5 Self-Concept test, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were used. The most significant findings show a correlation between academic self-concept and performance. Likewise, a correlation was found between emotional self-concept and performance in women. In the qualitative phase, categories such as stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination associated mainly with women and sexual diversities emerged, along with protective factors and coping styles in mental health. It is concluded that prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination shape self-concept, but protective factors and coping styles allow overcoming these challenges and achieving academic success.

Within the framework of the Sierra de Manantlán Archeology Project (UdeG, conanp), in Jalisco, evidence has been recorded of a refined pottery tradition dating back to the Preclassic period (300 BCE – 300 CE), which consists, among other productions, of anthropomorphic clay figurines from the lower basin of the Ayuquila River; These figurines mark an original cultural richness, and draw attention for representing real women: all different from each other, pregnant, giving birth and/or carrying babies. In the light of recent feminist theories, we seek to propose an interpretation of these ancient female figurines, with physiological processes such as pregnancy, lactation, childbirth, and pedagogical and/or or playful such as parenting represented, beyond a classic explanation biased by the patriarchal paradigm as it is usually formulated: eroticism or fertility. So, we consider them as agency elements of the importance and social status given to fertile women, in a chrono-cultural context where demography resulted essential to society development.

Debates around sexual and integral education have been a topic of controversy. Ideas about what could be taught in schools and who has the right to teach on this subject are maintained in spaces of constant discussion, while the State develops public policies that try to solve the problems that arise within educational establishments. One of the situations in which this tension can be evident is the constitutional accusation made against Minister Marco Antonio Ávila during June of this year. This essay offers a reading of this problem from a gender perspective with the aim of making visible the discourses that reproduce discrimination against sexual and gender diversity.

There are few studies in Spanish that analyze the complex relationships between gender stereotypes and gender morphology, even fewer that include non-binary forms. We evaluated the effects of two independent variables (stereotype bias and gender morphology) on the comprehension of sentences that include role nouns with masculine and feminine stereotypicality. We analyzed two dependent variables: noun phrase reading time (determiner + role noun) and total reading time. We found an early incidence of stereotypes during comprehension and different effects at the noun phrase level compared to the sentence level. Furthermore, the non-binary form [-e] seemed to function as a generic term for speakers of Argentine Spanish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
