Women's empowerment is crucial for sustainable economic progress and poverty reduction in developing nations. The study interviewed 1000 households in Punjab Province, Pakistan, using Shoaib et al.'s (2012) sampling methodology and dividing the province into four regions. The index was calculated using Alkire and Foster's (2007) methodology. The study reveals that leadership and income are the most significant factors contributing to female disempowerment in the Punjab province. The Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index score is 0.70, with 21% of women empowered and 79% disempowered. The stud

Abstract:

This article demonstrates the complex nature of the relationship between linguistic competence and the level of disempowerment that individuals perceive in global business contexts where English is increasingly used as a lingua franca. Most of the existing literature assumes that lower linguistic competence causes disempowerment, and that this relationship is largely static for individuals. This study, in contrast, finds that the sense of disempowerment caused by linguistic competence is negotiable as power dynamics between individuals can also be influenced by other relationships that act as

The idea of "intersectionality" seeks to capture both the structural and dynamic consequences of the interaction between two or more forms of discrimination or systems of subordination. It specifically addresses the manner in which racism, patriarchy, economic disadvantages and other discriminatory systems contribute to create layers of inequality that structures the relative positions of women and men, races, and other groups. Moreover, it addresses the way that specific acts and policies create burdens that flow along these intersecting axes contributing actively to create a dynamic of disem

Most of the time women are forced to sacrifice on their careers than men. They wrestle with their triple burden role as a woman. Moser (2003) argues that women's work is reproductive work, productive work, and community managing work. These roles prevent women from utilizing their full potential as a worker as they juggle their career with their other roles as a woman

The built environment anchors social, economic, and political community. A limited neighbourhood milieu fosters and maintains relationships that enable a community to realize its values. Fundamental civic activities such as ge ing out the vote depend on this empowerment. Voting has declined across New York City, but especially in the Bronx, which experienced the largest decline in voting between the 1969 and 2021 mayoral elections. The South and Central Bronx is now the largest city area of extremely low voter participation. This paper explores how public policies generated by the real estate

Abstract:

Zimbabwe’s 2008 electoral violence created lasting societal impacts, yet the psychological consequences for youth, particularly through intergenerational effects, remain under-explored. This study examines how memories of this violence are transmitted to contemporary youth, including those born after 2008, and influence their political attitudes and participation. The study employed a qualitative approach in Harare’s Mbare suburb, utilising 20 in-depth interviews and four (4) focus groups, which were analysed through a trauma-informed lens. Findings indicate that youth inherit ‘traumascapes’ f

Abstract:

Indigenous women sit at the crux of state violence, disproportionately subjected to legal disempowerment, human rights violations, economic disenfranchisement, and environmental destruction. Existing international legal systems do not account for this gender disparity, nor do they recognize cases of ecocide, culturcide, or state-reinforced domestic violence. Studies in sexual violence prove that human trafficking and forced sterilization contribute to the racialized criminalization of Indigenous women and inflict cycles of intergenerational harm. In addition, so-called “sacrifice zones”—region

Abstract:

Explicitly defining orthodoxies about women empowerment in Africa reveal that, unlike men, women lack more economic opportunities, which contributes to their declining local economy and that of their respective nations. Although several studies have explored this claim further, most of their analytic portions have substantially surfaced the plausible causal link between other indicators and these nations' economic decline. This emphasis gives impetus to claims of a deliberate attempt by researchers not to posit causal relationships between women's inadequate economic opportunities and

The internal migration of tribal population in India is one such movement that opens up avenues of discussion regarding the socio-cultural, economic and political impact of migration. Tribal migration currently in India, is propelled by the complex interplay of push and pull factors.

Abstract:

This conceptual paper discusses the contouring of the embryonic space in which Emirati women can enact economic agency. I examine this from three perspectives, namely, the workforce localisation policies, the government’s aspiration to establish itself as a force within the international political arena, and the country’s cultural landscape. These three factors represent the most powerful influences that determine Emirati women's experience of the workplace, and this paper explores their impact on the space that is evolving in which women can exercise their economic agency.

This paper provides a theoretical synthesis of entrepreneurial education in African universities. It argues that these models are deeply influenced by colonial legacies, which perpetuate disempowerment and dependency. The paper advocates for a transformative decolonial approach, stressing the need to reimagine and restructure entrepreneurial education in a way that aligns it with African realities, values, and aspirations. The paper underscores the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge systems, local contexts, and African philosophies into the educational curriculum. This integration

Abstract:

The capacity and the political will of service providers to facilitate effective rehabilitation, which places the person at the centre of all rehabilitative actions, is sorely challenged in a service environment permeated by a philosophy of economic rationalism and control of clients. People who cannot imagine how they would cope or manage with a disability tend to generalise the impossibility to all people with disabilities. Stereotyping can then occur and people might then be labelled according to someone else's limited perception. This can lead to depersonalization and marginalisation of th

The article presents evidence from diary entries of young middle class Kikuyu residing in Nairobi who recorded their feelings and impressions across a period of one month surrounding the country's elections. The diary writers describe the key moments at which they felt the need to switch from supporting third-placed presidential hopefuls to sup

AbstractRectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina that affects women globally. In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), RVF is most commonly due to obstetric complications such as prolonged labor or perineal tears, female genital mutilation and trauma such as sexual violence or iatrogenic surgical injuries. Women affected by this condition suffer from debilitating physical symptoms, social isolation, economic disempowerment, psychological trauma, low self-esteem, and loss of role fulfillment.
