Purpose: The current study aimed to examine the population of girls in two secure children's homes (SCHs) in the North East of England to consider the impact of menstruation on girls' physical, mental and emotional wellbeing within secure settings. Gender-responsive approaches and understanding gender differences are central to trauma-informed provision within the Children and Young People Secure Estate (CYPSE). Whilst trauma-informed approaches are central, it could be argued that basic gender differences, such as the menstrual cycle, are currently being overlooked within research and practice. Design/methodology/approach: A case file audit examined documentation of 24 girls who were admitted across both sites between January 2022 and January 2023. Findings: Of the sample (n = 24), 50% had information recorded regarding their menstrual cycle during admission assessments. Six girls (25%) disclosed experiencing irregular menstruation. Painful cramping was noted by two girls (8%). One girl (4%) disclosed heavy bleeding, and menorrhagia (abnormal heavy bleeding) was reported for one further girl (4%). One girl (4%) disclosed early onset menarche. Case formulations tended to focus less on girls' menstrual cycles or the potential impact of this on wellbeing. However, 100% of case formulations considered the potential impact of trauma and/or disrupted attachment on girls' presentations. Originality/value: The results indicate the impact of menstrual cycles on girls' physical, mental and emotional wellbeing may benefit from much further consideration. Implications are presented alongside directions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research-based community service aims to provide assistance to village officials in the preparation of gender-responsive village budgets. This assistance is intended to provide understanding to the village community and especially to village government officials so that village funds can be used to develop gender-responsive village development programs. Gender responsive village budgets are a pillar in disseminating ideas that lead to improved village governance. This community service uses an Asset-based community development (ABCD) approach that emphasizes the assets and potential owned by Wonosari village, Rangsang district, MeraSSnti Islands regency. One of the things that is seen as an asset is the involvement of women in strategic positions as village government officials who handle village finances. In addition, the head of her village has had a gender justice perspective. The result of this community service is the achievement of changes in the understanding of village officials who already have a good understanding of gender response budgets

This study was to formulate a gender-responsive agile leadership model during the Covid-19 pandemic. A systematic literature review using PRISMA methods and field research on 18 purposely selected mid-level managers was conducted. The research discovers that first, agile leadership characteristics can be classified into individual and organizational dimensions. Individual characteristics include the personal values of agile leaders with good personalities. Organizational characteristics are characteristics to maintain and bring the organization to face a fast-changing and uncertain world. Second, the characteristics of gender-perspective leadership in the Covid-19 era are the commitment to change the management system, organizational culture, and the quality of leadership to promote gender equity. Finally, the Gendered-Perspective Agile Leadership model in the VUCA era during the Covid-19 pandemic is a leadership model that can quickly respond to gender issues through management system change, organizational culture, and character development of leaders oriented to individual and organizational characteristics. Individually trained leader characters are supposed to be intelligent, optimistic, communicative, accountable and compassionate, while organizationally oriented leader characters are adaptive, responsive, innovative, flexible, and transparent. This paper uses thematic analysis to fill the gap of the gendered-perspective agile leadership model by exploring the characteristics of gendered- perspective agile leadership in the COVID- 19 era.

Just as delinquency case rates skyrocketed more for girls than boys in the 80s and 90s, recent declines show, yet again, that advances in youth intervention favor boys over girls. Given that boys continue to outnumber girls involved with the system, it is perhaps not surprising that juvenile courts tend to rely on gender-neutral programming; in effect treating girls like boys. Drawing a sample of youths (N = 3,901) processed by a Midwestern juvenile court filed between 2012 and 2016, the present study shows that gender neutral diversion programs yield lower recidivism rates for boys, but not for girls.

This study aimed to reveal how the description of gender responsive school management as well as gender responsive facilities and infrastructure in teacher secondary schools, especially at state vocational high school 5 Kendari. This research is a qualitative research with data collection through interviews. The results of the study illustrated that school management that is gender responsive in terms of the placement of the principal's position broadly opens opportunities for teachers to occupy strategic positions regardless of male or female gender but based on competence and responsibility and has implemented gender equality and justice in all things, as well as in service in schools provide opportunities for male and female teachers to attend training outside the school and apply disaggregated data in order to facilitate obtaining information about the school in this case school administration. In addition to school management that has been gender responsive and the results of the research show that the tools that support learning are facilities and infrastructure that are also gender responsive, including the use of classrooms, toilet rooms, prayer rooms (mosques) and laboratory room seats.

The smart city has become one of the many ways to solve the problems of contemporary urban environments. The sustainable integration of technology, people and institutions is essential in urban planning. However, utilizing technology in city management with the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities will not be sustainable without ensuring that the community is prepared. The involvement of all societies and persons, as agents of implementation and technology users, requires a gender-responsive approach to social innovation in the urban management. With regard to this issue, the purpose of this paper is to describe the importance of the human aspect of technology orientation through a gender-responsive approach in social innovation for the sustainable smart city. The method used in this study is a combination of several data collection techniques, which are in the form of literature studies, online surveys, and structured interviews. The results show that in terms of planning and management of the city, it is necessary for all communities to achieve social justice by using gender responsive approaches. Social innovation done in smart cities requires an understanding of technology users through community empowerment, especially for women. Women and men should have equal rights and opportunities in the application of the technology. Therefore, various capacity building efforts for women must take place on multiple levels, with the integration and support from the collaboration of all stakeholders. This amounts to a paradigm shift in both the planning policies, regulation and management of smart cities. Cooperation among all parties is critical, whether in partnership or collaboration between government and private parties and other institutions that prioritize public services for the community. This study contributes a social learning framework in strengthening citizens' preparedness to participate in future smart cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pilot study on the implementation of education at Junior High Schools (SMP) revealed that gender bias is still present in various aspects. In the learning, it was found that some materials were not gender responsive, learning interaction sometimes caused one of the parties to be discriminated, and the teacher’s and students’ sentences contained stereotypes. One of the subjects which has the potential for and contributes to gender bias is Social Sciences (IPS). As a subject which correlates with the practices of social life, Social Sciences reflects the gender bias as an existing reality. Other subjects which are potential for gender bias are Natural Sciences, Arts and Cultural Arts and Crafts, and Language. In Natural Sciences and crafts, the bias is often found the existence of interaction. In the Natural Science practicum class, which is correlated with animals, there is often a higher ratio of male to female students. On the other hand, on the practice of crafting class, female student levels are typically higher. In language subjects, it was found that the use of discourse and sentences did not show gender equality and justice, often depicting males in strategic roles and the females in domestic roles. A learning model needs to be developed with regards to the values of gender equality and justice, from the earliest years of schooling. This study sought to identify nthe basic competencies and learning aspects which are gender biased. The results are followed up by developing the gender-responsive Edu Gender Unity learning model. The development involved the subject teachers as the researcher’s partner in designing, developing, and trying out the gender responsive learning model design. The development of this learning model is intended for Indonesian Language, Cultural Arts and crafts, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences subjects. The development consists of (1) the formulation of gender responsive indicators, (2) teaching materials to achieve the gender-responsive competence, and (3) learning strategies which correspond to achieve gender-responsive competence.

This paper aims to share insights of a boundary learning process in a curriculum transformation in Zimbabwe. It is based on the dialectical lenses of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). The boundary learning epistemic actions were designed/interpreted using CHAT tools of double stimulation, activity system and expansive learning. The main findings are two types of boundary learning: individual and institutional. Individual focused on questioning and confronting tensions in current individual curriculum practice. Institutional refers to collaborative relationships between hierarchical levels of the teacher education system in Zimbabwe. We point to the need for theoretical and conceptual rigor in studies on curriculum transformation, arguing for careful attention to empirical evidence of transformation/transgressing current practices in any expansive learning process. There is also need to think through the policy-practice gap, especially in curriculum development.

This article examines the popular gender-responsive approach to assessing female offenders and providing services for them. Finding decidedly mixed results about the effectiveness of this approach, the theoretical frame underlying it, the pathways literature, is reexamined. Particular attention is given to research conducted outside of the United States and studies that examine the pathways to early and late onset of offending. Taken together, these results suggest that finances, relationships and addiction may be more proximal causes of female offending than a history of trauma and mental illness. As such, the relevance of the gender-responsive movement in women's corrections is questioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to determine the participation of women in development planning meeting, knowing the form of gender responsive policies, identifying the cause of the gender responsive policy problem, and strategy formulation of the budget in ex Besuki Residency such as Jember, Bondowoso, Situbondo, and Banyuwangi which still not responsive to the needs of women. In the first year, this study intends to identify the process of formulation, implementation, and evaluation of the local budget in Ex Besuki residency conducted by the respective local governments. Based on the research in the first year, researchers will formulate development strategies in the formulation of gender-responsive policies. The method of research is quantitative descriptive study, study documentation, primary and secondary data analysis, interviews and focus group discussions. In the second year of the study are expected to form a strategy and policy formulation concept of gender responsive budgeting through a combination previously existing concepts, adapted to the results of the first year of study at the study site.

Objectives: Positive social support is critically important to postprison well-being outcomes. However, researchers and program developers are still trying to understand how to best promote stable and sustainable social support for formerly incarcerated individuals during reentry to the community. We sought to add to the body of knowledge on social support and prisoner reentry by comparing men and women releasing from prison on the quality (e.g., positive or negative) and amount of informal social support. Methods: A random sample of 395 male (n = 165) and female (n = 230) releasing prisoners participated in the study. After unadjusted bivariate comparisons, multivariate regression was conducted to identify gender differences in preincarceration social support quality of influence and anticipated number of postrelease support persons while controlling for important covariates such as substance abuse and mental illnesses. Results: Males reported higher rates of negative social support overall, and females reported higher rates of both mixed and positive social support compared to their male counterparts. Older participants reported higher levels of positive support compared to younger participants. Men of color reported significantly higher levels of positive support than their White male counterparts. Overall, women had higher prevalence of behavioral health factors that complicate quality of support. However, there were no differences in gender found for the amount of perceived social support available postrelease in the unadjusted models. Implications: Study findings suggest the need for gender-specific and culturally tailored targets for prisoner reentry programs addressing social support. Possible adaptations for interventions are explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gender equity is imperative to the attainment of healthy lives and wellbeing of all and promoting gender equity in leadership in the health sector is an important part of this endeavour. This empirical research examines gender and leadership in the health sector, pooling learning from three complementary data sources: literature review, quantitative analysis of gender and leadership positions in global health organisations and qualitative life histories with health workers in Cambodia, Kenya and Zimbabwe. The findings highlight gender biases in leadership in global health, with women underrepresented. Gender roles, relations, norms and expectations shape progression and leadership at multiple levels. Increasing women's leadership within global health is an opportunity to further health system resilience and system responsiveness. We conclude with an agenda and tangible next steps of action for promoting women's leadership in health as a means to promote the global goals of achieving gender equity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
