Gender

Die Digital Rights Foundation, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, führte eine Reihe von Fokusgruppendiskussionen mit Forscher*innen aus der ganzen Welt durch, um „geschlechtsspezifische Desinformation“ zu dekonstruieren, bestehende Arbeiten zu diesem Thema zu verstehen und Bereiche für zukünftige Interventionen zu identifizieren. Unter Anwendung feministischer Methoden, die sich auf gelebte Erfahrungen stützen, nehmen die daraus resultierenden Policy Papers diese Erfahrungen auf, um von Grund auf Definitionen, Theorien und politische Empfehlungen aufzubauen.

This article aims to explore how green technology is still being recapitulated by capitalism and ‘business as usual' and uses a gender lens to explore the relationship of nature, green technologies and capitalism.

Mother Nature is once again the subject of the male gaze but this time the impact may be even more oppressive. This article expands the feminist concept of ‘male gaze’ towards nature and critiques geoengineering as being an inherently male/masculine technology that is a product of and a means to further capitalistic agenda.

Since September, Tunisians have been reporting experiences of sexual violence online under the hashtag EnaZeda, Tunisian Arabic for "me too". In the meantime, the protest has spread to the streets.

Cambodia has made notable progress in constitutionalizing gender equality. However, there is still no solution for persisting gender stereotypes, discrimination of women and marginalized groups and domestic violence.

Stereotyped gender roles continue to be reinforced from a very early age in Colombia. Traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity are very deeply rooted in the collective mentality of the macho culture.
