Men's right activist/movement.MRAs are activists , male and female, who try and bring about issues that tend to be predominate male orientated and ignored by the majority of society in similar way that issues within feminism are.
This document discusses the history of gender equality and women's rights. It covers ancient cultures where women had limited roles, the modern women's rights movement of the 1960s fighting for equal pay and reproductive rights, and the establishment of women's rights as human rights in the 19th century. In India, the document outlines that women had higher status in ancient times but it deteriorated during the medieval period under practices like child marriage and sati. Modern India has advanced women's rights through its constitution but still faces challenges of violence, lack of reproductive rights, and social issues like honor killings and dowry violence.
Gender equality is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and opportunities regardless of gender. Historically, concepts like "machismo" promoted the idea that men are superior to women and responsible for providing for their families, which led to the devaluation of women's abilities and denial of equal opportunities like education and work. These attitudes contributed to major family violence problems as some men felt they had rights over their wives and could impose their will through physical and psychological abuse. It is important to move past these harmful, outdated views through respectful dialogue that promotes human dignity and equality for all.
Gender inequality exists in education, employment, and income. Women earn only 70 cents for every dollar men earn, and it would take women 14 extra years to earn the same as men by age 65. While women now earn 60% of bachelor's degrees, they are more likely to work in lower-paying fields like health and education. 10-15% of the wage gap is due to gender discrimination. Traditional gender roles also contribute to inequality by expecting women to work unpaid domestic jobs and care for children. However, policies aim to reduce discrimination and encourage equal opportunities.
This presentation helps to know about gender equality at individual level and in corporates. It also enables to deal with these situations and how to handle them.
This document discusses gender equality and gender stereotypes. It begins by defining gender stereotypes as beliefs about the characteristics of males and females. Children learn some stereotypes at a young age, such as girls not being good at sports and boys being messy. It then discusses stereotypes regarding physical appearance, behavior, occupations, and personality traits.
The document defines gender equality as men and women having equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities without limitations from stereotypes or gender roles. It provides examples of areas where inequality is observed, such as in family, society, religion, and education. For instance, in education boys are often encouraged to study science while girls are pushed toward arts.
Finally, it discusses ways to promote gender
Gender issues and gender believe in Pakistan mahee tori
This document discusses gender issues and beliefs in Pakistan. It notes that while Pakistan has modernized economically, social values have not transformed as much. Working women experience double pressure from inconsistent job demands that conflict with social norms. Their jobs require interaction and confidence, but society expects modesty. To balance these conflicting roles, women establish "fictive kin" relationships at work, treating male colleagues as family to maintain honor within social norms. This allows women to fulfill job duties while upholding expectations of modesty.

The document discusses the impact of discrimination on LGBTQ+ communities. It notes that while many LGBTQ+ people deal well with systemic discrimination, experiences with discrimination can lead to higher rates of emotional distress, depression, and anxiety. It also discusses how LGBTQ+ people may feel pressure to fit societal gender norms and can face ridicule, intimidation, or abuse if they do not. Even with increasing acceptance, many still face discrimination at work, school, and socially. This discrimination negatively impacts mental health by increasing rates of depression and anxiety among LGBTQ+ communities. The document outlines a campaign aimed at improving understanding of discriminatory behaviors and their effects.
This document discusses gender inequality in India. It notes that gender inequality is deeply ingrained in society and difficult to eradicate. It provides examples of discrimination women face, such as notions that restrict their freedom and assumptions about their limitations. Statistics show that women have lower employment rates, higher mortality rates during childbirth, and make up a small percentage of national parliaments. While some policies aim to address issues, lack of awareness and proper implementation limit their effectiveness. Suggested solutions include improving access to education, legal protections, political participation, and changing social attitudes.

This document provides an overview of key concepts related to human rights including definitions, characteristics, and classifications. It defines human rights as universal natural rights or status that people have regardless of other factors. The four main characteristics of human rights are that they are inherent, universal, indivisible, and inalienable. Human rights can be classified into civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. The document also discusses specific human rights such as the right to education, environment, peace, and addresses issues like violence against women and small arms proliferation.
What Are Human Rights?
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.
International Human Rights Law
International human rights law lays down the obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
One of the great achievements of the United Nations is the creation of a comprehensive body of human rights law—a universal and internationally protected code to which all nations can subscribe and all people aspire. The United Nations has defined a broad range of internationally accepted rights, including civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. It has also established mechanisms to promote and protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their responsibilities.
The foundations of this body of law are the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly in 1945 and 1948, respectively. Since then, the United Nations has gradually expanded human rights law to encompass specific standards for women, children, persons with disabilities, minorities and other vulnerable groups, who now possess rights that protect them from discrimination that had long been common in many societies.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Gender inequality exists in education, employment, and income between men and women. Women face barriers including earning only 70 cents for every dollar a man earns, being discouraged from pursuing higher-paying fields, and shouldering a greater burden of unpaid domestic work and childcare. While progress has been made over the last 30 years from more women in the workforce and policies against wage discrimination, gender roles and societal expectations of women's traditional roles in the household and workplace still contribute to inequality today.
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation is part of Oxfam GB's Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.
Gender equality aims to give women equal opportunities and rights as men in all areas of society. It seeks to eliminate discrimination and harmful practices against women. Key goals include equality in pay, professional opportunities, education access, and the equal distribution of unpaid domestic work. Progress is measured using a gender index that evaluates differences between women and men across various indicators. While some countries and organizations have taken steps to promote gender equality, such as requiring women on corporate boards, full equality has yet to be achieved due to lingering misogyny and lack of compulsory protections in laws. Individual actions like supporting women and demonstrating for stronger regulations can help work toward gender equality.
A social issue is a problem that influences many citizens within a society. It is a common problem in present-day society and one that many people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. Civil war has brought a variety of social ills in Afghanistan, such as poverty, interethnic strife, inequality of women, and widespread thievery, kidnapping, and banditry. Blood feuds handed down through generations are legendary, and revenge is regarded as a necessary redress of wrongs. The civil war has strengthened these tendencies.
Gender mainstreaming aims to promote gender equality by making women's and men's concerns an integral part of policymaking. It involves assessing how gender norms can affect development programs and identifying opportunities to address inequalities. Key aspects of gender mainstreaming include political commitment, building technical capacity, and establishing accountability measures to ensure the process transforms unequal power structures over time. The ultimate goal is to achieve equitable and sustainable development outcomes where both women and men can equally participate in and benefit from development.
This document discusses factors affecting gender equality in the workplace. It summarizes a study that surveyed opinions on gender stereotypes in different occupations. The study found that stereotypes still somewhat impact perceived gender distributions. However, many believe future generations will be less impacted by occupational stereotypes. Statistical data showed that women dominate fields like administrative assistants and nursing, but few are in construction. While some fields like pharmacists pay women fairly, women on average still earn less than men.
The document discusses gender disparity in technological, social, and economic development in third world countries. It notes that while overall living standards have improved, gains have not been equal between genders. Women tend to be disproportionately represented among the poor and have less access to resources like education, land, credit, and technical training. As a result, women often work in subsistence agriculture or low-paying manufacturing jobs. While efforts have sought to promote gender equality, continued work is needed to address barriers preventing women from entering male-dominated fields like technology education and ensure their full participation and decision-making in development.
Gender inequality in political representationAlee Shah
While women now have the right to vote in Pakistan, gender inequality persists in political representation. Only 22.8% of national parliamentarians globally are women. Pakistan has taken steps to increase women's representation through reserved seats, but true equality will require parties to promote women in mainstream elections and address their issues. Factors like education, economic development, and liberal attitudes can increase women's political participation. Experts recommend parties recruit more female candidates, provide training, and address women's issues in platforms. The media and civil society also have roles to play in advancing women in politics.
Human rights are inherent to all humans without discrimination based on attributes like gender. Gender equality means equal treatment regardless of sex. The history of efforts to achieve gender equality includes campaigns against issues like domestic violence and unequal pay that fall under feminism. Current efforts aim to fight inequality through addressing problems like violence against women, unequal access to education, and harmful traditional practices, as well as increasing women's political participation.
Strain theories propose that strain or pressure to achieve socially accepted goals like the American Dream can cause crime. Messner and Rosenfeld's institutional anomie theory argues that American culture overemphasizes financial success, creating strain when the American Dream is difficult to attain. This strain may lead people to cope through criminal acts like robbery or fraud. The theory suggests promoting non-financial values like parenting and community service to reduce crime by lessening cultural emphasis on money.
The document discusses the OECD Gender in Governance Policy Toolkit, which aims to help advance gender equality. It provides an overview of the key recommendations of the toolkit, focusing on institutional frameworks for gender equality. It outlines how the toolkit assesses whether countries have adequate gender equality institutions and discusses good practices in countries like Chile and Sweden. The document also previews next steps for expanding and promoting the use of the toolkit.

Gender Equality a very important topic of Gender School and Society by Dr Krishan Kant. this PPT covers all aspects of Gender Equality in easy language. a very useful topic for budding teachers & teacher educators.
This document discusses several issues related to gender and sexuality. It defines key terms like sex, gender, gender sensitivity, equality and equity. It provides statistics showing disparities faced by women, such as lower representation in politics and peace processes. It also gives data on harassment and violence faced by LGBT youth, such as higher rates of suicide attempts, depression, drug use, and lower academic performance due to harassment. The document discusses greater acceptance of homosexuality in more secular and affluent countries globally. It emphasizes that gay rights are human rights and promotes the idea that we are all inhabitants of one world.
Men have responded to feminism in different ways over the three waves of the movement. Some men have taken a pro-feminist stance and supported equal rights and opportunities for women. Others formed masculinist or men's rights groups that sought to reestablish traditional masculine ideals or address perceived inequalities faced by men. Still other men expressed anti-feminist views and argued that feminism has gone too far or that men face greater challenges. Younger women today have also expressed skepticism about some feminist principles and ideals. Feminism analyzes representations of gender in culture through areas like media, language, architecture, and technology.
Gender roles refer to the expectations of how males and females should behave and the responsibilities assigned to each in a society. Gender roles are learned and can vary across cultures but generally involve divisions of labor, child-rearing practices, and socialization that reinforce the roles. Gender schema theory proposes that children learn about gender norms from their culture and adjust their behavior accordingly, developing cognitive frameworks or "schemas" about what it means to be male or female. These schemas can influence how people perceive themselves and others.
The document is a training manual developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to facilitate workshops on gender equality and mainstreaming. The manual aims to improve knowledge, attitudes and skills related to creating gender sensitive institutions, policies, programs and projects. It is divided into two parts, with the first part covering introductory concepts of gender and the ILO's role in promoting equality. The second part focuses on relevant ILO conventions. Each session provides learning objectives, duration, materials, methodology and expected outcomes to guide facilitators. The manual uses various interactive techniques like case studies, videos, group work and discussions to promote practical learning on issues related to gender equality in the workplace.
This document discusses gender and politics, including women in political philosophy works by John Stuart Mill, Fredrich Engels, and Shulamith Firestone. It also examines research on political participation and public opinion, specifically on the experiences of women in local government in India, the gender gap in voting behavior globally, gender differences in political knowledge related to descriptive representation of women, and women's representation in legislatures and cabinets in industrial democracies.
The document summarizes research on preventing sexual assault. It discusses how education is key to prevention and should promote concepts of consent and equality between the sexes. Legislation mandating education programs in schools, like Erin's Law, can help address the issues. However, changing societal norms requires more than just laws - it requires challenging views that blame victims or see women as unequal. Comprehensive education and advocacy organizations, like The Blue Bench, can help communities understand assault and support victims.
This document discusses human rights and the fight to protect them. It defines human rights as inherent to all people equally, without discrimination. It explains that events anywhere in the world related to the economy, environment and workers' rights affect everyone due to increasing global interdependence. The document calls for raising awareness of human rights violations and protecting rights for all people, regardless of views, through organizations, education, and authorities addressing complaints.

Peer 1
American Indian Movement
At Home:
·
What conditions existed which created the need for this movement.
o
AIM (American Indian Movement) was created so that the Indians could voice how they felt about sovereignty and racism. American Indians wanted their native culture restored and fix other issues that they were faced with like education and employment programs.
o
·
What did this movement accomplish?
·
The biggest accomplishment of the American Indian Movement was the perception of Native Americans in the eyes of America. Better living conditions and being able to raise their families without racism is also a huge accomplishment for the Native Americans
·
What was the United States Government’s response to this movement?
·
After the Native Americans made themselves visible by taking over places that were considered abandoned such as Alcatraz and Wounded knee protesting the government's Indian policy the United States Government became more responsive to the Native American activists and granted them important control over reservation policies and programs for economics and education (Barnes & Bowles, 2014).
·
What is an issue that remains to this day?
An issue that remains to this day is one that remains with most ethnic groups, discrimination. Poor relationships with the Native Americans even after AIM first started many years ago there still is racism and discrimination just like with other ethnic groups such as African Americans and many others. The United States is terrible about racism, and in my opinion, this should stop so that we can all live peacefully among each other and stop hating others over something that has happened centuries ago.
·
Abroad: How did the United States’ relationship to the world change during the Cold War, and to what extent did this pave the way for the events that we are witnessing in the world today? Provide at least one specific example of a foreign policy event which took place during the Cold War to support your position.
·
The Truman Doctrine shaped United States approach to the Cold War by justifying the influence and growth of democracy and resisting the spread of communism (Barnes & Bowles, 2014). This policy is still noticeable in the world today as America is still trying to stop the spread of communist terrorism. The United States is still going to war to enforce the stopping of terrorism by helping other countries get rid of them not to mention protecting our country as well.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. INTRODUCTION
Feminist issues have been in
the for front a lot lately, but
what about the human rights
issues that disproportionately
affect men?

3. • Men are more likely to become homeless
than women, and there are more male
cases of autism than female. On average,
men die younger than women. This is
partly due to biological or evolutionary
reasons, but other factors such as higher
suicide rates and more dangerous working
conditions, are rooted in society.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 3
4. Who are Men's Right Activists
(MRAs)?
• MRAs are activists (both male and
female)that try and bring about issues that
tend to be predominate male orientated
and ignored by the majority of society in
similar way that issues within feminism
are. Its about equal rights for both sexes.

5. What men’s right IS NOT?
• The men's right movements is not about
seeking privileges for men.
• It is not about attacking women's rights.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 5
6. What men's rights IS?
• The mens rights movement is about
providing the same rights protections and
choices for men and women.
• It is about equal human rights regardless
of gender.
• Much like women's rights, mens rights are
something both women and men can
support.

7. A Brief History
• Like most social movements, there is no specific agreed
upon set of goals and no formal organization. The
general movement is an offshoot of the men's liberation
movements of the 1970s, and as such, used tactics
learned from the feminist movement to attempt to gain
equality in several areas. The movement itself split into
two groups: one that largely supported feminism, and
one that was strongly anti-feminist. Both movements,
but especially the latter are generally understood to be to
some extent a backlash to feminism

8. Subdivisions
• Genuine equal rights groups
• Anti-female groups
• MGTOW (men going their own way)

Warren Farrell
Warren Thomas Farrell (is an American educator,
men’s right activist and author of seven books on
men's and women's issues.
Today he is generally considered as "the father of the
men's movement“.He advocates that "there should be
neither a women's movement blaming men, nor a
men's movement blaming women, but a gender
liberation movement freeing both sexes from the rigid
roles of the past toward more flexible roles for their
future."
13. Status of the Problem
1. Mental health: More men than women kill
themselves in India. The reasons for
suicide are many, ranging from ideas
about masculinity leading them to bottle
up emotions, pressure to provide for the
family, financial issues, and the fact that
more men than women are prone to
substance abuse.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 13
14. General Measures
• By focusing all their energies on mental health
only in the context of marriage, MRAs lose sight
of the fact that there are several reasons why
men go through depression and other mental
health issues. So MRAs need to use their time
and effort to address these issues in a holistic
manner, instead of reducing the seriousness of
mental health issues among men.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 14
15. Status of the Problem
2. Men, caste and community: While men may belong
to a privileged gender, they are not a homogeneous group.
A Dalit man, for instance, is oppressed by people of all
genders who are savarna, including women. From subtle
forms of discrimination like denial of job opportunities or
growth at the workplace, to violent acts ranging from
humiliation and murder, men from oppressed caste groups
and communities are subjected to many forms of violation.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 15
16. General Measures
• Just as feminists must be conscious of
intersectionality when fighting for women's
rights, MRAs, too, should recognise that
gender is only one among the many
identities that a person has, and be willing
to confront the systemic inequalities within
the large group called 'men'.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 16
17. Status of the Problem
3. Men and sexuality: MRAs typically speak
only for cisgender, heterosexual men
because much of their focus is on the
heteronormative family. But what about
queer men and trans men?
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 17
18. General Measures
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
intersex (LGBTI) people around the world
face discrimination, persecution and
violence. Thus MRAs should be able to
work and raise the voice for them too.
Thus there will be a real effort towards the
eradication of inequality.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 18
19. Status of the Problem
4. Men and sexual abuse: Repeated studies
have shown that the sexual abuse of boys is
widespread in India. In fact, in this 2007 study
conducted by the Ministry of Women and Child
Welfare, more boys than girls were found to have
been sexually abused. While it is difficult for
survivors of sexual violence to speak up, it is all
the more difficult for boys because of their gender.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 19
20. • Male rape is rarely discussed and is often
made the subject of distasteful jokes. Thus
MRAs needs to take these issues
seriously and focus on making the society
safer for male victims of sexual abuse and
also provide them opportunities of
counselling to come out of their trauma.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 20
General Measures
21. What can WE do?
• Realize that men's rights issues affect every one :men
,women and families(I don’t neglect the fact of women's issues;
it also equally affects every one).
• Recognize discrimination and bias against men and boys
in society and the media.
• Respond to men's right with an open mind.
1/23/2019 m.tonio90@gmail.com 21
22. CONCLUSION
• Many of the issues discussed by Men's
Rights Activists and Feminists are
intertwined. When we begin to listen to
each-other’s issues rather than scream,
twist, and ignore one another we can
begin to solve problems and make real
progress.
