Study on the problems and solutions faced by women in Muslim families and society with special reference to India

In 2017 the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation was celebrated. Then there was a huge discussion about the impact of the Reformation on church, culture and society. In this article and in an another one published in last number of this journal, this question will be raised, especially in Icelandic context. Here it is assumed that it is only possible to state that a change has occurred or a novelty has arised because of Lutheran influence if it can be demonstrated that the Reformation is a necessary prerequisite for the change / innovation being discussed. Here it is particularly pointed out that various changes that until now have been traced to the Reformation can have been due to the development of the central-controlled state power. It is also pointed out that, due to the small population, rural areas and simple social structure, various changes that occurred in urban areas did not succeed in Iceland until long after the Reformation. Such cases are interpreted as delayed Lutheran effects. Then, in Iceland, many changes, which were well matched to the core areas of the Reformation, did not work until the 18th century and then because of the pietism. Such cases are interpreted as derivative Lutheran effects.In Iceland two generalizations have been evident in the debate on the influence of the Lutheran Reformation. The first one emphasizes extensive and radical changes in many areas in the Reformation period and subsequent extensive decline. It is also stated that this regression can be traced directly to the Reformation and not to other fenomenons, e.g. the development of modern, centralized state. The other one states that the Reformation was most powerful in the modernization in both the church and society in Iceland.This article focuses on the influence of the Reformation in the field of culture and society. These include e.g. the closure of monasteries and the consequences of it in the field of welfare, which have been widely discussed in recent times.The final conclusion of these two articles is that the main influence of the Reformation is found in the field of faith itself, and that the Reformation made it easier for the Lutheran Church than the two traditional denominations, the Roman Catholic Church and that Orthodox one, to meet the modernization in culture and society.

Despite the fact that the Reformation has certainly had the broadest and most direct effects on this field, it is noteworthy that the church organization itself was only scarsely affected by the Reformation. After the Reformation the Icelandic church was for example almost as clergy-orientaded as in the middle Ages.

Katalog einer Ausstellung zu den pakistanischen Stammesgebieten. Peshawar, Peshawar Museum, 27 November - 12 Dezember 2021. Pakistan zählt zu den ältesten Partnerländern des Bundesministeriums für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) in Asien. Bereits im Jahr 1961 wurden erste gemeinsame Projekte ins Leben gerufen. Entwicklungsinitiativen wurden über die vergangenen sechs Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder an neue Herausforderungen und sich verändernde soziale, wirtschaftliche wie auch ökologische Rahmenbedingungen angepasst. Ein Beispiel für die langjährige und vertrauensvolle Zusammenarbeit mit Pakistan ist das FATA-Entwicklungsprogramm, das die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit im Auftrag des BMZ und kofinanziert durch die Europäische Union in der Provinz Khyber Pakhtunkhwa im Nordwesten des Landes umsetzt. Hier arbeitet die GIZ seit 2009 eng mit ihren lokalen Partnerinnen und Partnern an der Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen der Bevölkerung in den Stammesgebieten entlang der gebirgigen Grenze zu Afghanistan. In dieser heute "Merged Areas" genannten Region liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der Verbesserung staatlicher Dienstleistungen in den Sektoren Bildung und Gesundheit sowie auf der Reintegration von Binnenvertriebenen. Durch die Förderung von Bürgerbeteiligung und Selbstverwaltung, wie auch eines staatlich-zivilgesellschaftlichen Dialogs zur Entwicklungsplanung, unterstützt das Programm die politische und administrative Integration der bis 2018 weitgehend autonomen und von zahlreichen Konflikten geprägten Stammesdistrikte in die Provinz Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Die Region ist historisch und politisch bedeutsam. Mit dem Khyber-Pass liegt sie an der Schnittstelle zwischen West- und Südasien, was die einzigartige Kultur der Stammesgebiete bis heute prägt. Das Buch gibt nicht nur tiefe Einblicke in die Geschichte, Politik und in die reichen Traditionen der Menschen in dieser unruhigen Grenzregion, es legt auch ein beredtes Zeugnis über die facettenreiche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit zwischen Deutschland und Pakistan ab.
