For both men and women stereotypes persist but there has been a move from the portrayal of the character in situations considered socially traditional to less traditional scenarios. At the end of the period analysed, Spanish magazines show low and decreasing levels of sexism.Research limitations/implicationsOnly one advertising medium and one country have been analysed.Originality/valueThis is the first study developed in Spain in gender role stereotyping and sexism, and has been analysed through a longitudinal research.

The prevention of gender violence among young boys at the primary and secondary schools in Albania is considered important during the projects implementation of NGOs dealing with domestic violence. This paper consider the perspective according to which, sustainable programs for the `Non-violence` education of young boys in the schools, are achieved only if we exalt the historical memory of peaceful citizenship. This ongoing educational goal should include also campaigns for arising awareness, treatments of youths exposed to violence and abuse in the families and also it is needed to involve young people from communities where criminal activities, bullying and sexual harassment in schools are present. According to recent studies, these factors warn on future domestic violence risks. Albania lacks of programs that in European Union countries constitute the standardized and accredited informative activities for young people. Workshops that raise awareness on vulnerability must be placed together with preventive programs for peer education.

Der Band möchte der Debatte um feministische Theorie neue Impulse geben, vor allem in der Philosophie. "Geschlecht" wird hier zwar ähnlich wie in den Naturwissenschaften noch immer weitgehend ausgeschlossen oder marginalisiert. Stellt man diesen Begriff aber ins Zentrum des Denkens, kann er neue Perspektiven auf grundlegende philosophische Probleme öffnen: auf Vernunft, Macht, Handeln, Gerechtigkeit, Demokratie. Die Texte zur politischen Theorie, Ethik, Anthropologie und Metaphilosophie, die der Band vereint, wollen in diesem Sinne das kritische Potenzial der Gender Studies für die Philosophie nutzen.

This bookdetails qualitative research focusing on Internet startups, digital entrepreneurship, race and sex discrimination, and the sharing economy. Addressing the intersections betweenissues of gender, age, ethnicity and class, the author interviews startup founders, including many husband and wife teams, in order to understand the working and private lives of digital entrepreneurs in and from Taiwan who utilise Internet and mobile technologies, against a backdrop of the country's political, social and economic history. It investigates contemporary debates about entrepreneurship as they are experienced by new generations of start-uppers who challenge existing social and cultural norms by becoming creative workers and embracing the precarity that exists in the volatile digital economy.

This article examines the cultural and institutional resistance to the use of gender as a category in French historiography. In France, history, and, more specifically, women's history, has not really assimilated the openings offered by the problematics of the construction of differences, nor the logical consequences of the use of gender. Cultural differences are partly responsible for this, and the polysemic nature of the word genre may add to the confusion. With a few exceptions, women's history in France is reluctant to engage in a historical analysis which would take into account the founding role of hierarchy and of relations of power and difference which are central to gender.

"Warum brauchen die Internationalen Beziehungen eine Geschlechterperspektive? Was sind die größten Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung der Resolution 1325 des UN-Sicherheitsrats auf internationaler, europäischer und nationaler Ebene? Warum ist Geschlechtergerechtigkeit als wesentlicher Bestandteil einer nachhaltigen Friedenspolitik bedeutend? Antworten auf diese Fragen wurden bei der Tagung aus wissenschaftlicher und praktischer Perspektive diskutiert. Die Beiträge zur Umsetzung der Resolution 1325 zeigten, dass mit diesem Instrument eine sinnvolle politische Strategie entworfen wurde. Dennoch gibt es viele Mängel bei der Implementierung. Weitere Themen waren völkerrechtliche Fragen, die Einschätzung aus Sicht der Theorien zu Internationalen Beziehungen und das Konzept der Menschlichen Sicherheit." (Autorenreferat)

Despite equal pay legislation dating back 50 years, American women still earn 22% less than their male counterparts. In the UK, with its Equal Pay Act of 1970, and France, which legislated in 1972, the gap is 21% and 17% respectively, and in Australia it remains around 17%. Thus, the gender pay gap continues to be an important policy issue.

"Competition is largely stuck in a stereotype of winning and losing which limits our understanding of the dynamic and how it can be effective in the workplace. The scarcity and challenge from models of competition which are found on the sports field are for many people the basis of their engagement. But competition in sport is bound by agreed rules and umpires, and does not easily translate into the workplace Are you competitive? This question is one many people struggle to answer in any detail because society generally turns a blind eye to competition outside of sport and trade in external markets. Using eight dimensions, competition is defined and discussed in this volume within the context of management to reinvigorate discussions of gender in the lives and relationships men and women managers encounter on a daily basis"--Provided by publisher.
