Women made significant gains in social, political, and economic rights during the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1970s, the National Women's Political Caucus was formed and Title IX banned sex discrimination in schools. More women entered college and the workforce. The 1980s saw further advances, like the first female Supreme Court justice and space shuttle astronaut. However, media depictions of women were complex, with shows portraying independent women but still under male control, and music exploiting women's sexuality as the ideal. Overall it was a time of both progress in rights and ongoing conflicts around traditional versus changing social roles.

Women wanted the right to vote for three main reasons: they believed in equality and not having the vote made them seem like less of a person; many women wanted more control over their own lives as some faced domestic abuse or abandonment by husbands; and women experienced major societal problems like poverty and believed having the vote would force the government to address their views and improve laws to help women and their families.
This document summarizes the arguments that were made against women having the right to vote in the early 20th century. Many argued that women were too emotional, that their role was to influence their husband's votes, and that as they did not serve in the military they should not make decisions about war. Some politicians specifically argued that women would wear large hats that would obstruct views, that they were too impressionable, and that men were already controlled enough by women. Not all men had the right to vote at this time either. Additionally, some women argued they had no interest in politics.
Domestic violence against men is a serious issue. The document discusses several cases in Britain where men have been physically abused by their wives through actions like being scratched, kicked, bitten, or attacked with bottles and knives. A refuge organization reported that some abused fathers had moved into their safe house with their children to escape abuse that for many men had lasted an average of six years, and included being beaten with iron bars or threatened with knives. While the actual number of abused men is unknown due to underreporting, studies estimate that in the U.S. roughly 300,000 to 400,000 men are treated violently by their partners each year.

This document summarizes the 2020 US presidential election, focusing on the historic number of women candidates. It provides facts and media frames about Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, and Marianne Williamson. The document also discusses how having multiple women in the race changed the rhetoric around women and presidential politics, and notes that while Kamala Harris is the first woman vice president, she will likely not be the last. It aims to showcase the impact when critical mass is reached and more women participate in politics.
The document analyzes data on abortions by characteristics such as age, marital status, and race from 1990 to 2003. It hypothesizes that teenagers aged 15-19 will have the highest number of abortions, followed by unmarried women and black women. Bivariate and multivariate tables of the data generally support this, showing the most abortions were obtained by unmarried women aged 15-19. However, white women had a slightly higher number than expected.
This document provides an agenda and materials for an ELIT 10 class discussion on GLBTQI education in schools during the 1990s. The agenda includes a presentation on LGBT issues and events from the 1990s, a discussion of the banned books "Am I Blue?" and "We Might As Well Be Strangers", and revisions due the following week. The presentation materials provide details on significant LGBT events and advancements in rights and recognition that occurred during that decade.

An assessment of voter behaviour & political participationAmir Karim-Ajam
This document analyzes voting behavior and political participation in the United Kingdom. It discusses several key determinants of voting behavior, including party identification approach, partisan dealignment, and class dealignment. It explains how voting patterns have changed over time, from the 1940s-1970s when party identification was strong, to more recently as alignments have broken down and voters use more short-term, rational approaches. Social factors like age, gender, and social mobility have also influenced changes in voting behavior.
This document discusses women's representation in New Zealand politics. It notes that while the proportion of women in parliament has increased over time, reaching 31% after the 2014 election, this remains a relatively low number. The introduction of MMP electoral system in 1996 helped more women get elected via party lists. However, the political system remains patriarchal with masculine traits favored. Liberal assumptions of equality have built patriarchal oppression into the application of political systems. Overall, the document examines the history of increasing but still limited female representation in New Zealand's government.
The document discusses several influential women from around the world and throughout history. It profiles prominent female political leaders like Angela Merkel, Christine Lagarde, and Margaret Thatcher. It also discusses influential feminists such as Fatema Mernissi, who challenged traditions in the Muslim world, and activists like Nawal El Saadawi, who campaigned against female genital mutilation in Egypt. Additionally, the document profiles the American media mogul Oprah Winfrey, recognizing her impact and philanthropy. These women overcame obstacles and discrimination to make significant contributions in their respective fields.
1) Social class, status, and power have traditionally been predetermined by gender, with patriarchal societies granting men greater power and authority than women. Governments have designed laws to maintain this division of power, oppressing women.
2) While women's representation in politics has increased over time, men still dominate political leadership positions globally. However, women leaders like Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Dilma Rousseff, and Joyce Banda have proven that women can successfully lead countries as presidents.
3) New Zealand politics have traditionally favored masculine traits of objectivity and neutrality over feminine traits of subjectivity and care. This patriarchal structure makes it difficult for the limited number of women MPs
Discussing Gender and Internatonal Cultural RelationsDr Lendy Spires
Gender equality calls for women and men to have equal rights and entitlements to human, social, economic and cultural development, and an equal voice in civil and political life. This does not mean that women and men will become the same, but that women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities do not depend on whether they are born male or female. The pursuit of gender equality has a long history. Especially in the West, it can be seen as an extension of the ongoing claims for liberty and equality unleashed by the French Revolution, when equality before the law became newly established as the basis of the social order.
Well into the 20th century, the extended struggle for the franchise has stood as the symbol of a much wider struggle by women playing a central role in extending, defending or giving substance to social citizenship rights. The call for equal rights for women resurfaced in the 1960s and 1970s alongside movements for civil and human rights, peace, the environment, and gay liberation. One of the major triumphs of this stage was the UN adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1979, the first international human-rights instrument to explicitly define all forms of discrimination against women as fundamental human-rights violations. CEDAW emphasised women's individual rights in opposition to those traditionalists who defend major inequalities in the status quo as the ‘complementary’ roles for men and women that nature intended. It called for the equality of men and women in public and political life, before the law and with respect to nationality rights, in education, employment, the provision of healthcare (including access to family planning services), and in marriage and family matters.
Another high point was the constitution of the new South Africa (1996 – built on the Women’s Charter for Effective Equality and the ANC’s 1993 Bill of Rights), which emphasises the equal citizenship of women and men and people of all races, by making provision for equal protection under the law, equal rights in the family, and in all areas of public life. In the last three to four decades, this pursuit of gender equality has brought successive challenges to many major areas of social, economic and political life, beginning with a quest for equal representation in the corridors of power, but developing into a broader critique of masculine bias and ‘power politics’, and the search for forms of mutual empowerment.
This document discusses gender and international cultural relations through a collection of interviews. It begins with an introduction that discusses the concept of gender equality and its pursuit over the last century. Key points include the adoption of CEDAW in 1979, which defined discrimination against women as human rights violations. More recently, non-Western voices have added new perspectives to the pursuit of gender equality. The document then presents interviews with eight women who have contributed to fields like diversity, human rights, journalism and international relations. They provide differing views and experiences related to gender and its impact across cultures.
This document discusses stereotypes in politics and the challenges faced by women in politics. It notes that politicians have their hands tied by public negativity and media scrutiny. It also discusses how social class and power are predetermined by gender in patriarchal societies, with men enjoying greater power and access. Throughout history, governments have designed laws to maintain male dominance and oppress women. The document also discusses the underrepresentation of women in elected bodies and decision-making roles due to gender discrimination.
The document discusses Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot by the Taliban for advocating for girls' education. It mentions that she has established the Malala Fund charity with Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie. The Fund announced its first grant of $45,000 to support the education of 40 girls in Pakistan who would otherwise be forced into domestic labor. Malala said announcing this grant was the happiest moment of her life.
These women leaders faced various forms of male repression as they pursued careers and roles traditionally held by men. Indira Gandhi faced repression as a leader in India but was involved in politics from a young age. Ella Koblo Gulama of Sierra Leone faced repression as the first woman to hold several political positions, though she had a political career from an early age. Muriel McQueen Fergusson of Canada originally pursued a legal career and faced repression as one of the first women in politics there.

MPs Advocate For More Relaxed E-cigarette Rules | Jenn Galandy Jenn Galandy, MA
MPs in the UK are advocating for more relaxed rules regarding e-cigarettes. They argue that vaping is less harmful than smoking normal cigarettes and can help people quit smoking. The report calls for more freedom in e-cigarette advertising, relaxed regulations and taxes on e-cigarettes, and annual reviews of the health effects of vaping. It also discusses allowing vaping in public places like public transport. The responses to the report were mixed, with health groups wary of marketing to youth but supportive of helping smokers quit, while the public expressed concerns about unknown health risks of vaping in public.
What is Public Policy and How Does it Affect me? | Jenn Galandy Jenn Galandy, MA
Public policy refers to government policies that affect the whole population and are created in response to issues in a community. Politicians, bureaucrats, media, interest groups, and voters all play roles in the policymaking process through different tactics to influence policy. The average person can also influence policy through voting or getting involved in policy discussions. Public policy directly affects individuals through its impact on daily life, hobbies, and communities. For example, health policy in Alberta determines healthcare funding through taxes and provides free access to services, engaging citizens to evaluate spending and quality of services.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

2. When most think of female leadership and empowerment
in the United Kingdom, names like Theresa May
or Margaret Thatcher come to mind.
However, there are many more women in the United Kingdom who
play a crucial role in changing how the United Kingdom operates.
Across the United Kingdom, you can find many women devoting their
time to change greater equality and representation. The following are
five women who made an impact through their work with politics or
activism.
3. M H A I R I B L A C K
First elected as a member of parliament at the age of 20, Mhairi
Black, took the title of the youngest MP. Although she was the
youngest amongst the other members, Black has not let her age
stand in the way of raising her political voice. Black has spoken
passionately on a variety of issues from the need for greater
diversity within Westminster, to LGBT rights, to even things such
as the national food bank crisis.
4. P A V A N A M A R A
A victim of sexual assault, Pavan realized that the UK was
severely lacking in resources for women who experienced sexual
violence. Due to the lack of resources, Pavan decided to take
matters into her own hands. In 2015, Pavan Amara launched My
Body Back Project, to not only provide women with sexual
health but help them regain self-respect.
5. F L O R E N C E E S H A L O M I
Florence Eshalomi is an assembly member who represents the
people of Lambeth and Southwark at City Hall. Florence believes
that that public office should be a true representative of the
community, therefore Florence continually strives for improving
youth representation in local UK politics.Overall, Florence has a
strong record when it comes to tackling issues that matter to
the local community including transport, policing, health,
housing, equalities, culture, education and public services.
6. Y A S M I N A H M E D
Yasmin is currently in her final year as a law student. When not
at school, she is a broadcast journalist and columnist for
multiple national and international papers. Yasmin has been a
key player in diversifying the media throughout the UK. Not only
does she provide a voice for minority women in the UK, but
across the world.
7. T E M I M W A L E
After losing a friend to gang violence, Temi realized that the UK
was lacking in resources and solutions to gang violence.
Wanting to make a difference, Demi founded the 4Front
Project to find solutions to street violence affecting youth across
inner-city estates in London. The organization aims to raise
awareness, provide a platform for discussion, and encourage the
community to create a positive impact.
