This article presents results for the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, from a survey on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on households, in relation to the distribution of domestic work and the use of spaces for teleworking. The study shows the persistence of gender inequalities in the distribution of domestic and care tasks, which even intensified during the pandemic, increasing the burden on women.

Brazilian television's efforts to reduce gender inequality in sports journalism are well known. Since 2021, women have been taking on roles that were previously exclusive to men, such as narrating soccer matches. This article starts from the hypothesis that printed newspapers are going against the trend seen in sports television journalism. To achieve the objectives, 1,184 publications from the sports sections of the country's three main newspapers - O Globo, Folha de S. Paulo and Estado de S. Paulo - were analyzed in July 2020 and July 2021. Of the total number of signed texts, 86.7% were written by men and only 13.3% by women. An even greater asymmetry was recorded in the photojournalism of these sections. Women published 7.9% of the photos compared to 92.1% by men. To help interpret the data, two in-depth interviews were conducted with women journalists from the sports sections of these media outlets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals were approved, giving way to the previous agenda: The Millennium Development Goals. At the halfway point of the date for their achievement in 2030, it is necessary to reflect on the setbacks and advances of the Agenda. Specifically, the objective of this article is to analyze the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the achievement of gender equity in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Specifically, it will address the situation of women's economic autonomy, addressing Goals 1, 5 and 8. The methodology used is through qualitative review, applying theoretical methods of a socio-legal nature and through the analysis-synthesis of the data obtained. To this end, this will be studied through two axes, on the one hand, the data collected from the region around the selected goals and indicators; and, on the other, the development of innovative legal norms. In this sense, although there have been some advances that allow the 2030 Agenda on a path of progress, the pandemic crisis has revealed the structural conditions of gender inequality, making it necessary to reflect on the crisis of care in the region. The pandemic crisis has shown several setbacks, but a positive trend can be indicated in the approval of comprehensive regulatory frameworks in the region, which shows the interest in making feminized and unpaid work visible, but these must be accompanied by a real political commitment.

Gender inequality is still a phenomenon that is part of different social segments. Even over the years, the man continues to be seen as the main provider of the house while the woman does not need -or should notstudy, earn her money and have her independence, being assigned to take care of the house, the children and be totally submissive. The present work has as its theme gender inequality in the on-site occupational safety course at the Federal Institute of Paraiba (Campus Patos): a history of the presence of women over the years (2009-2020). An exploratory and quantitative research was developed with data from courses integrated to high school and higher education collected through the academic control sector of the Federal Institute of Paraiba (Campus Patos). With this, it was discovered that the presence of women proved to be elusive in the Occupational Safety Technologist course until the year 2016 and only from 2017 onwards, the students who did not complete the course maintained a relationship of continuity, standing out in relation to to evasions. In the Occupational Safety Technician course, female participation stands out from the periods that have already ended to those that are still active. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to analyze how gender relations can influence the higher academic career of Economics course professors who teach at nine institutions in Minas: Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Departamento de Economia Rural), Universidade Federal de Alfenas e Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros. For that, structured interviews were used as a methodological resource in order to investigate from the choice of course to the development of the academic journey of these women. As in many other professions, economics professors face setbacks and resignations that can only be understood from a gender perspective. Thus, the results revealed the existence of gender barriers characterized by the male image of the economist and the little credibility given to women in the field. In addition, the reports showed that, often, to remain in the teaching career in Economics, it is necessary to face prejudice, discrimination, gender stereotypes and sexism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the premise that the roles of men and women are distinct in the economy, and, at the same time, that they are reinforced by political decisions and by social structure, the objective of this work is to investigate what was the role of female participation in the Bangladeshi garment industry for the country's successful economic performance between 1980s and 2020. Relying on a heterodox analytical perspective and using a case study, I demonstrate that there has been no significant technological progress, productive diversification nor economic development in Bangladesh at the pace of the country's GDP growth rates. In addition, the increased demand for female labor in the garment industry, a key sector of the economy, has not removed women from the condition of dependence or subordination to men, since gender inequalities persist in the country's labor market.

This paper presents the results of a study on how students build memories in School's Physical Education classes. To this end, we seek to discuss how youth and gender inequalities in high school can affect teenage girls and influence them into excluding these classes. The investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with sixty 3rd year high school students, in six public schools and six private schools in Pernambuco. The study reveals that the students' experiences are marked by a process of gender inequality, which is strenghted by the absence of teacher's intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the gender gap in Brazilian states and the actions of stakeholders of the National Council for Women’s Rights (NCWR). Two research was conducted in two steps. In the first step, a gender gap index in Brazilian states was calculated based on the Global Gender Gap Report (GGGR) methodology, prepared by the World Economic Forum. In the second, the NCWR stakeholders were mapped, and their performance was analyzed, considering the gender gap indexes obtained in the first step and the theoretical framework supported by stakeholder analysis models. The political and economic dimensions presented the worst performance. The Brazilian states with the best general indexes were Amapá, Distrito Federal, and Maranhão, and the worst were Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and Paraná. On the other hand, NCWR stakeholders acting in public policies related to the economic and political dimensions do not seem to have great relevance and influence capacity. Evidence indicates a concentration of policy efforts in areas where the country has good GGGR indicators (health and education). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper has carried out the analysis of a Guidelines Proposal for Intervention with Women Victims of Gender Based Violence promoted by the Government Delegation of Spain for Gender Based Violence and aimed at professionals. From a Critical Discourse Analysis, the work has as objective to visualize the revictimizing framework from which the intervention against gender based violence is addressed. It also aims to evidence a lack of rigour extended to key processes that constitute what should be a profesional care and that inevitably impacts on the sensitive people who may need such care. Consequently, it can be seen the simplistic and reductionist conception that underlies the Social Intervention, and that devalues both the latter and its professionals (women mostly). Understanding this document as an institutional discursive production, it serves as an example of the current state of the issue. This paper points out the neccesity to improve the Intervention against Gender Based Violence, and also some of those invisible mechanisms that sustain the structural and systemic character of inequality, such as the individualization of the social issues or the perspective of scientific-professional devaluation of Social Intervention and, with that, of the involved disciplines.

It is not difficult to identify several forms of inequality, such as gender inequality, in the Brazilian society. This study is aimed at demonstrate - as a contribution - how this type of inequality is manifested by patterns of violence against women in a given context. It is shown here, how conflicts are maximized by the structure of local culture, although revitalized by the same structure, which allows a clearer vision of those conflicts. This research presents a national data comparative analysis, which includes women interviews by DataSenado in 2017, as well as a municipal case study - Ourinhos, SP -, by means of the analyzis of 20172018 Women Protection Police Precinct reports. The results show the profiles of both aggressors and victims, as well as the variation in the intensity of violence against women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work is to know the magnitude of the gender gap in work in the indigenous population residing in an urban context such as Nuevo Leon, as well as the conditions in which indigenous women are inserted in the job market. To this end, the 2015 Census Survey was used as a data source. The results confirm that the access of indigenous women living in Nuevo Leon to extra-domestic work is still far from that of men, the level of economic activity of the female indigenous population is below half the value of the male's. In addition, there is still a wage gap between indigenous women and men in the different positions they hold at work, which reflects that indigenous women receive lower salaries on average, regardless of their position.

This article brings a discussion about the female participation in Science with the goal of motivating the insertion and the permanence of women, mainly in hard Sciences: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematica. Uneven gender, with male prevalence in the scientific context, is the result of sociocultural factors, prejudice and beliefs about how each gender should behave in society. For women that desire for a scientific trajectory, it is essential to believe in their potential to break this vicious cycle of minority interest in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to map the different ways in which femininity is currently represented in advertising in Brazil: the reproduction of stereotypes reinforcing gender inequalities as well as the disruption of established models by mean of valuing women's autonomy. By drawing on data that demonstrate the public's questioning of female standards and the impact of advertisements seen as sexist by their audiences, we intend to reflect on the relation established between advertising and society as well as highlighting the need to reconfigure the ways for reflecting on and representing gender issues in advertising.

Este trabalho buscou identificar e dar visibilidade às múltiplas dimensões da pobreza, incluindo aí seus aspectos espaciais e as particularidades das desigualdades de gênero em Porto Alegre. Ele está baseado em resultados de pesquisa, na qual foram entrevistadas 16386 pessoas vivendo em situação de pobreza nas diferentes regiões da cidade. A pesquisa buscou uma mudança de foco na análise sobre pobreza ao enfatizar o peso das dimensões que as pessoas consideram relevante para uma vida "digna de ser vivida". Os resultados evidenciaram a importância de dimensões como habitação, saúde e educação para viabilizar às pessoas uma vida "digna de ser vivida". Igualmente, mostraram as diferenças nas privações entre homens e mulheres, a heterogeneidade entre as regiões de Porto Alegre e, em especial, as formas como homens e mulheres vivenciam e manifestam suas percepções acerca da pobreza e das privações.This paper aims to discuss the importance of multidimensionality in understanding poverty in Porto Alegre, as well as to identify the spatial and gender disparities among its regions. The paper was based on a dataset from a survey conducted in 2007, in a two-stage methodology in which 16386 people living in poverty were interviewed. The results enabled the researchers to highlight the importance of dimensions such as habitation, health and education to allow people to "live a "dignified life". It also shows the differences in deprivations between men and women, the heterogeneity among the Porto Alegre regions and, in particular, the way in which men and women shape their perceptions of poverty and deprivation.

Em que medida a desigualdade de gênero pode incidir sobre a condição de pobreza e as formas de proteção das famílias? Essa é a questão norteadora deste texto. Trata-se de pensar qual o lugar da mulher nas famílias pobres. No espaço doméstico, essas mulheres, ao assumirem a identidade de mães, se tornam as principais responsáveis por prover e cuidar de sua família e, mesmo habitando espaços desiguais, criar alternativas constituindo redes de apoio e proteção para driblarem as inseguranças sociais.To what extent may gender inequality fall over the situation of poverty and the ways of protecting the family? This is the main question of this text. It discusses women's place in poor families. In the domestic sphere, these women, taking over the identity of mothers, become primarily responsible for providing and caring for their families, and even when they live in uneven spaces, they create alternatives to have support and to protect from social insecurities.

This article shows how war can stimulate and be related to gender violence and inequality. It shows how the Angolan independence struggle, followed by nearly three decades of civil conflict, has influenced inequality in the daily existence of Angolan women. Inserted in this context of struggle, these women simultaneously seek routes to undertake a new struggle: the struggle for recognition of their rights. This is a struggle waged with letters, a struggle for rights, a struggle for autonomy.

Busca-se, neste artigo, analisar a interface entre desigualdades de gênero e usos do tempo, situando esta análise na perspectiva do desenvolvimento das pesquisas de usos do tempo e observando como se materializa nos indicadores que compõem o Retrato das desigualdades de gênero e raça. Inicialmente, são caracterizadas as pesquisas de usos do tempo, recuperando-se um pouco de seu histórico e estágio atual. Discute-se, também, a perspectiva teórica que enfatiza o gênero como categoria central para análise dos usos do tempo. Apresentam-se alguns dos principais resultados encontrados por pesquisas de usos do tempo em nível internacional e enfatizam-se os indicadores de usos do tempo produzidos a partir da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios. Finalmente, sugere-se que as pesquisas de usos do tempo podem contribuir para o fomento de políticas públicas destinadas a combater as desigualdades de gêneroThis paper analyses the interconnection between gender inequalities and time use, putting this analysis under the theoretic perspective of the time use surveys development and observing how it is reflected on the indicators of the Race and Gender Inequalities Picture. At first, time use surveys are characterized, and some of their history and current stage are recovered. The theoretic perspective that focuses on gender as a central category for the analysis of time use is also discussed. Some of the main results found by international time use surveys are presented, with an emphasis on the time use indicators elaborated on the basis of the Brazilian National Household Survey. Finally, it is suggested that time use surveys may contribute to foster public policies designed to attack gender inequalities

Este artigo tem como propósito discutir as diferenças apresentadas por mulheres e homens em práticas matemáticas cotidianas, demandadas pelos apelos ou pelas oportunidades de uma sociedade pautada na dinâmica e nos critérios da cultura escrita. Tomaremos para análise os resultados divulgados na quarta edição da pesquisa Indicador Nacional de Alfabetismo Funcional (INAF), realizada em 2004, que avaliou as condições e a eficiência da população jovem e adulta brasileira na mobilização de habilidades matemáticas na execução de tarefas do cotidiano, e na qual os resultados apresentados pela população masculina foram considerados sensivelmente superiores aos resultados apresentados pela população feminina. Apoiando-nos numa reflexão referenciada numa perspectiva foucaultiana, buscamos compreender esses resultados como articulados a um campo discursivo, marcado pela racionalidade matemática de matriz cartesiana. Analisando, nessa perspectiva, os mecanismos que contribuem para um pior desempenho das mulheres em relação aos homens em avaliações dessa natureza - voltadas para as possibilidades de dar respostas consideradas adequadas na execução de tarefas cotidianas consideradas relevantes -, nossa preocupação se volta para a identificação de mais uma instância de produção de desigualdades entre as mulheres e os homens, representada pela maior valorização (na vida social e nas avaliações) de certos modos de conceber e reagir diante das demandas do cotidiano. Como educadoras, interessanos desvendar a produção das desigualdades, de maneira a desconstruir discursos que a favorecem e instaurar outras perspectivas de análise e de ação pedagógica.The purpose of this article is to discuss the differences observed between women and men in some of the daily mathematical practices made necessary by the demand and opportunities of a society based on the dynamics and criteria of written culture. We take for our analysis the results published in the fourth edition of the research entitled National Index of Functional Literacy (INAF), carried out in 2004, which evaluated the conditions and efficiency of the Brazilian young and adult populations in mobilizing mathematical skills to carry out daily tasks, and in which the results obtained by the male population were regarded as significantly superior to those achieved by the female population. Based on a reflection grounded in a Foucauldian perspective, we seek to understand these results as articulated to a discursive field marked by a mathematical rationality of Cartesian matrix. Analyzing under such perspective the mechanisms that contribute to degrade women's performance in comparison with men's in assessments of this kind - concerned as they are with the ability to give answers regarded as adequate in the execution of daily tasks regarded as relevant - our attention is focused on identifying another instance of production of inequalities between men and women, represented here by the valuation (in social life and in the assessments) of certain manners of conceiving and reacting to daily demands. As educators we are interested in unveiling the production of inequalities, so as to deconstruct certain discourses that favor them, and in bringing about other perspectives of analysis and pedagogical action.

Cohabitation is a distinctive feature of low-income groups in Latin America. In the past, it has been linked to colonial legacies including notions of familial honour, poverty, and a kinship system focused on blood ties. By contrast, some scholars consider rising levels of cohabitation in the present day to be an effect of modernisation, through increased gender equality. The present research, based on life histories of young, poor, urban co-habitees in Chile, aims to show that rising cohabitation is linked to targeted social policies and also to declining patriarchy, which is distinct from gender equality.

A diferença de gênero em relação à propriedade fundiária, na América Latina, é significativa. São poucos os países nos quais as mulheres constituem sequer um quarto dos proprietários. A desigualdade de gênero na posse de terras é relacionada à preferência masculina no momento da herança, ao privilégio masculino no casamento, ao viés masculino em programas comunitários e estatais de distribuição de terras, bem como ao viés de gênero no mercado fundiário, sendo que as mulheres têm menor probabilidade do que os homens de serem compradoras bem sucedidas. Mas também existem diferenças importantes por gênero na forma pela qual são adquiridas terras. A herança é o principal meio pelo qual a maioria das mulheres se torna proprietária, enquanto que os homens têm muito maior probabilidade do que as mulheres de adquirirem terras através da sua distribuição por comunidades ou pelo Estado, e por meio do mercado. São destacados os fatores que contribuem para uma tendência no sentido de maior igualdade de gênero na herança de terras e em programas públicos recentes.Gender difference regarding land property in Latin America is significant. There are few countries in which women make up even a fourth of the owners. Gender inequality in land property is related to male preference at the moment of inheritance, to male privilege in marriage, to male bias in community and state land distribution programs as well as gender bias in the land market, women having less probability than men of being successful buyers. But there are also important gender differences in the way land is acquired. Inheritance is the main way by which women become owners, while men have much more probability to acquire land through their communities and the state as well as in the market. The article underlines the factors contributing to the tendency towards higher gender equality in land inheritance and recent state programs.

Feminist frameworks have focused on gender inequality as the fundamental explanatory factor of male violence against women in union. This paper extends the analysis to contributions produced through social research. The approaches studied consider the personal characteristics of victims and aggressors (individual focus), the male-female power relationship within the couple (dyadic focus), and structural and symbolic factors (macro-social focus). An exploration of the respective contributions of these different perspectives shows that they offer only partial, inadequate approaches, given the multidimensional complexity of the problem. The main conclusions recognize that it is necessary to develop multi-level and inter-relational analytical frameworks such as the intersectional paradigm, in order to achieve a better understanding of the connection between gender inequality and male violence against women.
