Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timely and original, this book examines gender equality in schooling as an aspiration of global social justice. With nearly one billion people having little or no schooling and women and girls comprising nearly two-thirds of this total, this book analyses the historical, sociological, political and philosophical issues involved as well as exploring actions taken by governments, Inter-Government Organisations, NGOs and women’s groups since 1990 to combat this injustice. Written by a recognised expert in this field, the book is organised clearly into three parts: the first provides a background to the history of the provision of schooling for girls worldwide since 1945 and locates the challenges of gender inequality in education the second examines different views as to why questions of gender and schooling should be addressed globally, contrasting arguments based on human capital theory, rights and capabilities the third analyses how governments, Inter-Government Organisations and NGOs have put policy into practice. Addressing the urgent global challenges in gender and schooling, this book calls for a new connected approach in policy and practice. It is essential reading for all those interested in education, along with developmental studies, sociology, politics and women’s studies.

Book excerpt: A fair and equitable society is predicated on the pillars of gender parity and social justice. What we mean by "gender equality" is that people of both sexes should have the same access to resources and opportunities. It means that the differences between women and men are acknowledged and respected, as well as their interests, needs, and priorities. On the other side, social justice refers to the practice of ensuring that everyone in a society has access to the same opportunities and resources. This essay explores the meanings and relevance of gender equality and social justice, demonstrating how they are intertwined and essential to the development of a progressive and peaceful society. Equality between the sexes: A Definition Gender equality is not limited to the rights of women; rather, it is a universal human right that protects all people from discrimination on the basis of their gender. It entails ensuring that men and women have equal access to educational and occupational opportunities as well as to positions of power in society. Gender equality works to dismantle the societal conventions and prejudices that are based on gender. The movement supports women's and girls' rights and demands that men and women be treated equally. The Meaning of "Social Justice" Fair and equitable allocation of society's resources, opportunities, and privileges are all aspects of social justice. It necessitates acknowledging and resolving the enduring economic inequities, racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic discrimination that exist in a variety of ways. For social justice advocates, the end goal is a society in which people of all identities and socioeconomic backgrounds enjoy the same opportunities and protections under the law. Its goals include the complete elimination of poverty, the expansion of opportunities for all people, and the protection of everyone's inherent worth. The Link Between Social Justice and Gender Equality Gender equality and social justice are inextricably interwoven. In order to attain social justice, it is necessary to combat pervasive forms of discrimination and inequality based on gender. Women and members of other marginalized groups continue to face barriers to advancement in areas including education, work, and healthcare because of discrimination. Equal rights and opportunities for all people, regardless of their gender identity, are essential components of social justice, which can be furthered by efforts to achieve gender equality. Furthermore, attempts to promote gender equality are frequently included in social justice efforts that target underprivileged areas. For instance, empowering women in low-income communities helps reduce poverty and advance society as a whole, all while addressing the issue of gender inequality. The development of holistic methods to achieve an inclusive and just society requires an understanding of the interdependence of gender equality and social justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reframes gender and education issues from a feminist and capabilities perspective through a multi-generational study of women as teachers. It explores how different understandings of gender, equality and education generate a variety of approaches with which to pursue gender equality in education. Through employing the capabilities approach in a critical and innovative way to question justice, agency and well-being and also to evaluate valued functionings and capabilities, freedoms and lack of opportunities in women’s lives in Turkey it highlights the need for constructing a gender-just society. The book takes a closer look at these women’s memories, in order to understand how gender roles were created, negotiated and contested, and how the transition to modern ways of socialising and existing was shaped and women’s emancipation was guided by women teachers as social actors, rather than as passive onlookers or oppressed individuals. It provides important insights and critical evidence to be used in the planning and implementation of education and social/gender policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this edited volume explore the effects of various development strategies and associated macroeconomic policies on women’s well-being and progress towards gender equality. Detailed analyses of major UN reports on gender reveal the different approaches to assessing absolute and relative progress for women and the need to take into account the specifics of policy regimes when making such assessments. The book argues that neoliberal policies, especially the liberalization of trade and investment, make it difficult to close gender wage and earnings gaps, and new gender sensitive policies need to be devised. These and other issues are all examined in more detail in several gendered development histories of countries from Latin America and Asia.
