Abstract:

Obesity is a significant global issue, and its incidence has increased over time. A substantial percentage of the U.S. population suffers from this disease with a relatively high prevalence seen in individuals from the Caribbean. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore Caribbean women's perception of how migration to South Florida may have impacted the onset of obesity in this population. The social ecological model provided the framework for the study. Data were collected from 1-on-1 interviews held with 12 female participants between the ages of 18 and 35, who previously resided in the Caribbean at a healthy weight but became overweight after migration to the United States. The information collected were analyzed using manual coding to identify 5 themes: consciousness of weight gain, challenges associated with weight gain, factors causing weight gain, attitudes toward weight gain, and efforts aimed at weight loss. Participants reported they felt that migration adversely affected their health by causing weight gain which eventually developed into obesity, caused by a modification to their lifestyle as well as an overall change in attitude towards weight gain. The social change implications of these findings are that they may be used to raise awareness of the risks of obesity among Caribbean immigrant women and to develop interventions to address the issue. Such interventions may result in increased well-being, healthier lifestyles, and prevention of obesity associated morbidity and mortality among this population.

Abstract:

L'étude du portrait de la femme maghrébine dans trois romans de Ben Jelloun révèle trois vies d'enfant, d'adolescente et de femme très différentes quant à la condition féminine. Il y a une émancipation progressive entre les portraits qui peut s'expliquer par le fait que les romans se déroulent dans des cultures et à des époques différentes, mais aussi par les intentions féministes de l'auteur. The study of the image of the Maghrebi woman in three novels of Ben Jelloun reveals three very different kinds of childhood, adolescence and adult lives. There is a progressive emancipation between the portraits, which is partly due to the differences in time and setting, but also to the feminist intentions of the author.

Abstract:

A qualitative research design served to explore the effects of human resource policies in the workplace with narratives developed from a group of 15 women comprising African immigrants and their U.S counterparts in Oregon through analysis and interpretation of data from one-on-one interviews. The findings suggest that human resource policies in the workplace greatly impact women's work experiences. This study explored major factors such as pay difference, language and communication proficiency, cultural/religious differences, skill transferability and employment skill prejudice and discrimination and working conditions. Despite women's qualifications, competence and belief that equal skill mean equal opportunity, the strictures of human resource work policies makes it harder to excel in the workplace. Work experience and policies in Africa and America differ, and life circumstances of African women are distinctively different from those of their U.S counterparts. The analysis concludes with recommendations and implication for employers, managers, and human resource personnel.

Abstract:

This thesis is an ethnographic study of the life of female migrants in Cape Town. The thesis is based on material gathered through informal conversations, semi-structured interviews and participant observation conducted among female migrants in Cape Town. South Africa is today the strongest economy in the Southern African region which attracts people from other poorer African countries. They migrate to South Africa for a chance to a better life or an opportunity to support themselves and their families. However, South Africa´s restrictive immigration policies make it difficult for many migrants to obtain the right documents and be able to ‘legally’ cross the South African border. Even if migrants get an asylum-seekers permit they are not allowed to legally work in the country. They are included and excluded at the same time. The constant ‘criminalization’ of migrants´ acts makes it hard for migrants to access any human rights and protection in general, which makes them more vulnerable to exploitation. More and more women are crossing the borders to South Africa to get work and physical security as a part of the global ‘feminization’ of migration. Women´s movement therefore questions the picture of the man as the sole breadwinner. Even though this is the reality women are excluded from the discourse about migration and existing immigration policies in South Africa. Female migrants are not acknowledged as important actors and are even more vulnerable in the forced and marginalized position of ‘illegality’, then male migrants. This study explores the female migrants´ own experiences of struggles like getting documented, work, secure housing and being exposed to xenophobia. The women have also developed different strategies to handle these difficulties. This thesis criticizes the ‘victimization’ of female migrants, which ascribes them with powerlessness and being without agency, and shows that they are active in seeking solutions and creating strategies to increase their scope of action.

Abstract:

This study analyzes identity, class, religiosity, and belonging as they affect the experiences of female Middle Eastern and Muslim immigrants in various spaces within the context of the Atlanta, Georgia area and draws attention to the ‘othering’ of immigrants in American society. The exploration of immigrants’ experiences in various spaces includes public and semi-public, employment, educational and organizational spaces. Interviews were conducted on 24 female immigrants in the Atlanta area who possess various backgrounds. While female immigrants who wear the hijab experienced more, and more direct, discrimination than those who wear Western styles, the women who wear hijab were not discouraged from attempting to participate in the host society. Female immigrants who wear Western style attire reported indirect negative experiences in public and semi-public spaces. Immigrants’ experiences underscore the concept that socially acceptable stereotypes in the media become fodder for negative stereotypes in mainstream American society.

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to find out to what female migration from Sweden to Britain looked like in 1894, 1914, 1925, and 1940, and to what extent any changes seen were affected by the economy and political changes to women’s rights. In order to do this I have analysed statistics found in archive material, in addition to literature relating to migration into Britain, the economy, and women’s rights, in order to see if there is a correlation between changes in the statistics presented and changes in society. In doing this, I found that although there are immense changes to the rights of women between 1894 and 1940 in both Sweden and Britain, such as the right to vote, the right to equal work, and the right to equal pensions, migration patterns lean much further towards the economical changes than the political changes. The biggest of these economic factors in Britain was quite clearly the industrial revolution, which affected multiple sectors of work for every type of person. Meanwhile Sweden had a situation where there was an excess of women in the country, and 90% of those that worked were agricultural workers, leading to a large outlier of ‘pigor’ or female farmhands who emigrated in 1894. Syftet med denna uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kvinnlig migration från Sverige till Storbritannien såg ut under år 1894, 1914, 1925 och 1940. Jag har även undersökt till vilken grad eventuella ändringar, av migrationen, påverkades av ekonomin och även de politiska förändringarna gällande kvinnliga rättigheter. För att uppnå syftet har jag analyserat statistik samlad från arkivmaterial. Detta tillsammans med litteratur kring migration till Storbritannien, ekonomin och kvinnliga rättigheter, för att kunna se ifall det finns en korrelation mellan skillnaderna i den presenterade statistiken och hur samhället ändrades. Genom att göra detta fann jag att fastän det finns stora skillnader i kvinnornas rättigheter mellan 1894 och 1940 i både Sverige och Storbritannien, som till exempel rösträtten, rätt till arbete och rätt till samma pension som män, så lutade ändringen i migrationen mycket mer åt i hur ekonomin ändrade sig än själva politiken. Den största ekonomiska faktorn i Storbritannien var den industriella revolutionen, vilket påverkade många olika arbetssektorer för alla i samhället. Under tiden detta pågick i Storbritannien fann Sverige sig i en situation där det fanns ett överflöd av kvinnor i landet, varav 90% arbetade inom jordbruket. En följd av situationen var den konstaterade utflyttningen av många pigor till Storbritannien år 1894.

O estudo é uma abordagem antropológicavisual que se debruça sobre fotografias de arquivos institucionais e pessoais das depoentes. A imagem dialoga com outros dois suportes comunicacionais da condição humana, a escrita e a oralidade, na realização desse trabalho. Os saberes adquiridos no internato e as temáticas abordadas pela educadora são comparados com a importância que tiveram na constituição histórica de vida das ex-alunas, definindo suas posturas segundo éticas (e estéticas) perante o casamento, o lar, a maternidade e a profissão. A reconstituição de suas histórias de vida permitiu às ex-alunas se posicionarem em relação ao mundo na atualidade, traçando comparações com as perspectivas femininas (ou do papel feminino) da sociedade na época em que ainda eram alunas da instituição (elementos da memória reminiscente). Abstract: Research recovers the memory and history of life of Sao Paulo Saihou Jogakuin boarding school's ex-students, the importance of this institution on the development of their female identity. This study is a visual-anthropological approach that employs photographs of institutional and personal registers of the deponents. In this study, image dialogues with two other resources of the human condition which are the writing and the orality. The knowledge acquired at the boarding school and the subjects explored by the teacher are compared to the importance of the history of life of those ex-students, determining their behavior concerning to ethics (and aesthetics) toward marriage, home, maternity and occupation. The reconstitution of their history of life permitted to the ex-students to situate them in relation to the present time, making comparisons with the female perspectives (or of female role) of the society when they still were students of the boarding school (elements of the remaining memory).

Abstract:

L’objet de notre recherche vise à identifier les chemins de l’émancipation individuelle desdescendantes sportives de migrants maghrébins habitantes de quartier populaire.Parler d’émancipation féminine dans un contexte d’héritage migratoire arabo-musulman suscite unrisque de lecture du processus au travers de catégories sociales ethnocentrées. Le premier travail a doncconsisté en une déconstruction des catégories sociales dominantes puis en une reconstruction de catégoriesd’intelligibilité du social afin de dépasser l’illusion de la relégation collective cumulée - sexuée, culturelle etsociale - des descendantes de migrants maghrébins et l’impasse pratique de l’injonction paradoxale de« fidélité versus rupture » vis-à-vis du système anthropologique arabo-musulman. Dès lors, notre lecturecompréhensive de l’engagement, minoritaire et innovant, des descendantes dans un loisir sportif, en tantqu’espace de tradition masculine impliquant particulièrement le corps, a permis d’appréhender les moteurs etmodalités d’une individualisation qui ne traduit pas une simple contestation pratique d’une tradition héritée.Cheminer vers la recherche des conditions de possibilité de leur expérience de loisir sportif et desimplications pratiques de cet engagement sur leur repositionnement dans divers rapports sociaux a exigé demobiliser une démarche de terrain enracinée. A l’issue d’une enquête quantitative basée sur un repéragepatronymique de la représentation des descendantes dans l’offre de loisir territorialisée d’un quartier bisontin,54 éclairages qualitatifs ont permis de recueillir la matière de cette recherche au fur et à mesure de 6 moisd’observation participante des loisirs sportifs sur le quartier.Nous avons constaté que les processus familiaux de transmissions mémorielles et culturelles –références sexuées et religieuses – sont les vecteurs d’une dynamique des générations source de changementsnégociés entre la génération des migrants et celle des descendants. Fonction des vécus pré et post-migratoires,ils conditionnent la définition de statuts féminins et masculins qui stimulent différentiellement tant la doubleinscription familiale et sociale que l’engagement dans des espaces et des pratiques renouvelés, dont le sport.Le statut du transmetteur, le genre de l’héritier, sa place dans la fratrie, la structuration de celle-ci définissentles conditions individualisées de transmission, mais aussi de réception, de ce fond commun familial. Dans unsystème d’échanges généralisés, les matrices de l’expérience, territoriale et scolaire, représentent alors uncontexte global de validation ou d’invalidation des stratégies éducatives parentales et définissent les conditionsde leur inflexion ou réorientation progressive. L’ensemble de ces transmissions et variables conduisent à desunivers des possibles sportifs fragmentés chez les descendantes de l’immigration maghrébine.Les implications de cet engagement en termes d’émancipation « en tant que descendantes del’immigration maghrébine dans un quartier populaire » ont alors été appréhendées du point de vue de leursexpériences, donc de ce qu’elles font et de ce qu’elles sont quand elles disent qu’elles sont émancipées. Lesbricolages situés ambivalents mis en place traduisent leur identification optionnelle fonction de la désignationincluse dans l’interaction, le moment et l’espace. Ils leur permettent de concilier leurs aspirations et référencescontradictoires, ainsi que les contraintes qui en découlent, et de re-prendre place simultanément dans lafiliation et la société au travers de processus pluriels d’autonomisation, d’individualisation, de distinction oud’autodétermination destinés à refuser les assignations The aim of our study was to identify the forms that individual emancipation takes for the women froma disadvantaged neighborhood in a French city who are involved in sports and are the descendants of NorthAfrican immigrants.We are well aware that a study of female emancipation within the context of Arab-Muslimimmigration could run the risk of being ethnocentrically biased. To avoid this, our first task involved adeconstruction of the dominant social categories, followed by a reconstruction of scientifically-based socialcategories in order to break out of both the current collective gender, cultural and social exclusion of thefemale descendants of North African immigrants and of the impasse presented by the dictate of "loyalty orrupture" which exists in the Arab-Muslim anthropological system. Our comprehensive study of thecommitments, which are few in number and innovative, of the female descendants who participate in arecreational sport that involves the body and which is usually reserved for males, provides the drivers andconditions of an individualization that is not simply rebellion against an inherited tradition.In order to research the conditions under which the women experienced recreational sports and thepractical implications that this commitment had on their repositioning in social relationships, we usedgrounded theory methodology. We used patronymic tracking in a quantitative survey to obtain the percentageof female descendants participating in recreational sport offered in a neighborhood of Besançon, France, andthen we carried out 54 qualitative interviews. The research material was collected over a 6-month period ofon-site observation of recreational sports activities.We found that family processes of memory and cultural transmissions (gender and religiousreferences) are drivers of a generational dynamic: sources of changes negotiated between the generation ofimmigrants and that of the descendants. Based on pre-and post-immigration experiences, these processesdetermine the definition of female and male status, which stimulates in different ways family and socialpositions, as well as a new type of involvement with space and the new practices that accompany participationin sport. The status of the transmitter, the gender of the inheritor, her place among siblings, and thestructuration of her place define not only the individualized conditions of transmission, but also the conditionsof their reception into the common family background. In a generalized system of exchange, the matrices ofexperience (neighborhood and school environs) are representative of the over-all context of validation orinvalidation of parental educational strategies and define the conditions either for their acceptance or for theirgradual reorientation. All these types of transmissions and variables produce sport experiences that are variedand different for female descendants of North African immigrants. .The implications of this commitment to emancipation by the female descendants of North Africanimmigrants in a disadvantaged neighborhood are demonstrated in our study in terms of their experiences, i.e.,in what they do and what they are when they say they are emancipated. The resulting assemblage of varyingopposing and similar elements reflects their optional identification based on interactions, a particular time, andspace. It enables these women to reconcile their conflicting aspirations and references, and the resultingconstraints, and at the same time to take a new place in filiation and society via the multi-leveled process ofself-determination, individualization, distinguishing themselves from other women, and self-empowerment

Abstract:

In recent years, a growing body of research has examined the issue of work–life balance (WLB). WLB initiatives have been developed by organisations, not only to aid employees in leading healthier and more satisfying lives, but to attract and retain talent. One area where WLB issues have not been examined in detail is from the perspective of Chinese immigrant women. As one of the largest and growing Asian ethnic groups, the WLB issues faced by Chinese women are especially worthy of being examined and addressed. The primary purpose of this research was to explore the WLB experience of Chinese women in administrative roles at Auckland University of Technology (AUT). It also aims to contribute to the body of knowledge on WLB issues for minority ethnic groups and investigated Chinese women’s coping strategies for integrating work with their non-work roles. An exploratory qualitative case study approach was adopted for this study in order to compare and contrast organisational initiatives and policies for WLB with women’s experiences. A triangulated research design was also employed to glean qualitative data by virtue of multiple methods including archival evidence such as publicly available documentation, secondary research on WLB and AUT’s WLB policies, and semi-structured interviews. This study involved 12 Chinese female administrative staff and three staff members from the Human Resource Department (HRD), the Asian Staff Network (ASN) and the AUT Branch of Tertiary Institutes Allied Staff Association (TIASA). Participants were recruited by utilising sources such as the Asian Staff Network (ASN) and the researcher’s network of contacts within AUT. The findings of the study indicated that Chinese women’s WLB experience and ways of handling work–family conflict (WFC) and family–work conflict (FWC) were affected by their experiences of immigration and cultural backgrounds. In particular, their family situation had a critical influence on the way they organised their households and arranged for childcare or eldercare. Child/elder care responsibilities, personal/family emergencies, and personal/individual sacrifice engendered tensions around their ability to integrate WLB. In addition, work factors such as heavy workloads, meeting deadlines, and working longer hours, and cultural barriers caused emotional stress and physical consequences. While informal support from managers and colleagues and the WLB policies offered by the university helped women address their WLB issues, some policies were underutilised. A variety of coping strategies such as family members, win-lose strategies, time management, building clear boundaries, changing mindsets, and demonstrating commitment were actively adopted by Chinese women as mechanisms to cope with tensions between their work and family lives. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of the theory and practice of WLB.

Abstract:

The principal aim of this thesis is to discover and analyse the motives that make immigrant women start their own businesses in Sweden and to investigate whether this is a way to achieve integration in working life. The empirical material consists of two types of interviews. One type consisted of interviews with five experts on labour market issues, and the other of interviews with 16 female entrepreneurs of Iranian, Chilean and Turkish origin having their own business in the Greater Stockholm region. Results from the first set of interviews indicate that female immigrants who independently start their enterprise rely mainly on their own resources of power and abilities. They are either women with class resources such as higher educations, previous work experience, language abilities and economic savings, or young women with certificates from high schools or universities. The social environment where they grew up, the gender structure and gender roles in the family before and after immigration and time of residence in Sweden also influence the extent to which women immigrants can act independently. According to the experience of the experts, the motives for starting their business are either different structural reasons, e.g. unemployment, lack of suitable or well-paying jobs, lay-offs etc, or personal reasons such as having a meaningful occupation, to support the family, to earn money of their own, to be independent from men and strive for a better standard of living etc. Results from the second set of interviews indicate that the most important resource these women have used when establishing their businesses is class resources such as education and adequate training, different types of work experiences, human capital and in addition to this economic savings. For many of the women in this sample different structural reasons, like unemployment, lack of good job opportunities, discrimination on work places, merge with personal reasons such as strivings to achieve independence, being one’s own boss, to realize one’s plans and ambitions, when starting their business. Independent entrepreneurship is a good way for immigrant women to be integrated in working life especially if they start within certain branches. These are branches in which the women have appropriate university education or vocational training, previous work experience or which correspond to their personal interests. In addition immigrant women become more integrated if an education received abroad is treated as equivalent to the parallel Swedish education or degree. A further factor promoting integration is if they can fully exploit their capacities when developing their own businesses. These conditions help them to feel much more satisfaction in working life as women identify themselves with their actual profession and feel that they have found the “right place” for themselves in the society.

Abstract:

Entre 1945 et 1967, le Canada accueille une des plus importantes vagues d’immigration de son histoire : presque trois millions d'immigrants. À la même époque,la vie des femmes est souvent représentée comme immuable, jusqu'à leur éveil soudain à la fin des années1960. Il est pourtant difficile de croire qu'elles n'accordent aucune attention à l’arrivée de milliers d'immigrants chaque année. Leur vécu entre 1945 et 1967 est beaucoup plus complexe et nuancé que les représentations de leur apolitisme et de leurs préoccupations maternelles ne le laissent supposer.Cette thèse étudie le rôle de femmes – immigrantes,politiques, salariées, femmes au foyer, membres d'associations et de groupes minoritaires – dans l'évolution des politiques d'immigration entre 1945 et1967. Ces politiques offrent la possibilité de vérifier si,lorsqu'il s'agit d'un domaine considéré comme moins directement lié aux intérêts proprement dits des femmes, celles-ci s'y intéressent, trouvent des espaces pour en débattre, essaient de transmettre leurs avis aux décisionnaires et sont écoutées. Un engagement lié aux politiques d'immigration suggère un effort de la part des femmes pour sortir de la sphère privée, sphère assignée comme leur place principale et appropriée.Analyser le niveau d'implication des femmes dans les politiques d'immigration interroge les représentations et les assignations des femmes de l'époque ainsi que les tendances culturelles, les relations sociales et les jeux de pouvoir qui les produisent. Il permet d'autre part d’exposer les barrières érigées contre l'implication des femmes dans l'espace public politique et les discours qui les dirigent vers le foyer Between 1945 and 1967, Canada received one of the largest waves of immigrants in its history: nearly three million people. In contrast to this intense activity, the lives of women during that same period are often represented as being immutable – until their awakening in the late 1960s. It is difficult to imagine, however, that they paid little attention to the arrival of thousands of immigrants each year. In reality, the lived experience of women between 1945 and 1967 is much more complexand nuanced than the representations of their apoliticism and maternal essentialism suggest. This thesis studies the role of women - immigrants,politicians, professionals, housewives, members o fassociations and minority groups - in shaping immigration policy between 1945 and 1967. Examining a domain considered as being somewhat outside of' women's interests' offers the possibility of determining the true range of their interests, the spaces available to women for discussing and debating different issues and their means of conveying their views to decisionmakers.An engagement with immigration policy wouldsuggest an effort on their part to go beyond what isconsidered to be women's appropriate sphere.Analyzing the level of their involvement in immigration policy provides a method for interrogating the representations and socially assigned roles of women of the period as well as the social relations, power hierarchies and cultural tendencies that produce them.This analysis also promises to expose the barriers to women's involvement in the political public sphere and to deconstruct the discourses that circumscribe their actions

Abstract:

Ce mémoire porte sur la condition de la femme dans le premier roman de Faïza Guène: Kiffe kiffe demain (2004). Notre étude porte une attention particulière à la narratrice Doria et les autres personnages principaux originaires du Maghreb et vivant en banlieue parisienne. Le roman raconte la vie de Doria, une jeune adolescente française, issue de l’immigration maghrébine. La narratrice décrit les conditions difficiles des femmes maghrébines dans sa cité. Elle dépeint une image positive de la cité qui n’est pas celle de la criminalité, des préjugés et des stéréotypes. Le cadre théorique est basé sur les Gender studies ou « études féministes », mais aussi sur la situation de la population musulmane en France en général et la condition de la femme maghrébine musulmane en France en particulier. Nous avons choisi cinq thèmes-clés pour l’analyse afin de comprendre le rôle de la femme dans le roman: l’abandon, la famille, le mariage, le racisme et la discrimination ainsi que la banlieue parisienne. L’étude explique comment l’identité s’exprime à travers ces cinq thèmes. Nous pouvons dire que le roman Kiffe kiffe demain de Guène est féministe parce que la narratrice se bat pour les droits et les libertés des femmes maghrébines vivant en France. This thesis focuses on the condition of women in Faïza Guène's first novel: Kiffe kiffe demain (2004). Our study pays particular attention to the narrator Doria and the other main characters all from the Maghreb living in the suburbs of Paris. The novel tells the story of Doria, a young French teenager, born of Maghrebi immigration. The narrator describes the difficult conditions of Maghrebi women in her city. She portrays a positive image of the city that is not of crime, prejudice and stereotypes. The theoretical framework is based on Gender Studies, but also on the situation of the Muslim population in France in general and the condition of the Maghrebian Muslim woman in France in particular. We chose five key themes for the analysis to understand the role of women in the novel: abandonment, family, marriage, racism and discrimination, and the Parisian suburbs. The study clarifies how identity is expressed through these five themes. We can say that the Guène’s novel Kiffe kiffe demain is feminist because the narrator is fights for the rights and freedoms of Maghrebi women living in France.

Abstract:

L’objectif de ce travail est de faire une anthropologie de la violence au sein de couple marital composé d’une femme Noire et d’un homme Blanc. Malgré, les nombreuses lois votées ce fléau perdure et les réponses apportées à ces situations de couple varient selon les représentations que l’on se fait de ces femmes. Partant du constat que la couleur de peau détermine les réponses des institutions françaises, cette recherche s’appuie sur les récits de trois femmes Noires décrivant leur vie conjugale auprès d’hommes Blancs. Des vécus jalonnaient de violence qu’elles tentaient de dénoncer. Elles se sont heurtées à des institutions policières qui n’ont pas voulu les écouter The objective of this work is to an anthropology of violence within marital couples consists of a black woman and a white man. Despite the many laws passed this scourge continues the responses to these situations torque vary representations that we have of these women. Based on the observation that skin color determines the responses of French institutions, this research is based on narratives of three black women describing their married life with men whites.

Abstract:

Cette recherche se propose, à travers l'analyse du discours sur l'infortune de migrants turcs, recueilli dans le cadre d'une consultation interculturelle, d'étudier comment s'effectuent leurs constructions identitaires. L'infortune, en tant que moment de crise, s'avère particulièrement féconde pour percevoir comment s'élabore l'identité des migrants. Contrairement aux représentations habituelles qui conçoivent les communautés turques comme étant régies par de forts principes d'unification et de cohérence, dans le discours des infortunés, l'identité turque apparaît divisée. Elle se construit en référence à l'islam, au kémalisme mais aussi au champ préislamique et au domaine de la modernité. La question de l'impact de la construction communautaire globale sur les individus est ainsi posée. Entre conformité et opposition, les identités des migrants turcs apparaissent multiples. Ils jouent sur l'une ou l'autre de ces composantes selon les contraintes qu'ils rencontrent et selon leurs désirs. L'identité se constuit donc en fonction des déterminations sociales mais aussi en fonction de choix individuels conscients et inconscients.

Full text

Abstract:

En quittant l’Inde, les femmes fuient un système qui les opprime, un système qui nie leur humanité, un systèmerattaché à un texte sacré intitulé les lois de Manou. Cependant en effectuant cette immigration, des femmesindiennes ont pu s’émanciper et s’affirmer par-delà ces codes religieux qui niaient leur existence, qui lescantonnaient à un rôle servile et les éduquaient à n’être qu’une «bonne épouse », une sati. Or cette expérience del’immigration va remettre en cause cet hindouisme patriarcal pour ériger un hindouisme matriarcal plus enclin àvaloriser l’égalité des sexes et des classes sociales. Cette expérience du déracinement, cette perte de mémoire,cette immersion coloniale permettent aux femmes Indiennes de prendre en main leurs destins. Il en émerge lafigure de la « femme guerrière, la femme çakti, la femme d’action » qui n’est plus cantonnée à n’être qu’unemère ou une épouse mais une femme qui agit, qui se bat, une femme qui prend exemple sur les déesses qu’elleadore, représentative de la figure de la femme guerrière. Un processus artistique naît de ce fait migratoire, unprocessus basé sur l’identification de ces femmes aux déesses-mères, un processus qui peut être conçue commeune mimesis car il s’appuie sur les mythologies des déesses hindoues archaïques connue sous le nom de çakti. Ceprocessus mimétique permet aux femmes Indiennes de se libérer des voix de l’oppression, de cette tragédiepatriarcale. Cette figure indo-guadeloupéenne du XIXe siècle peut être affiliée à son altérité intime : les voixcontemporaines des Indiennes. Ces femmes prônent une révolution, dénoncent cette hégémonie patriarcale quine devraient plus subsister dans ce monde du « globalisme ». Ces voix féminines encouragent les initiativesféminines à lutter pour endiguer ce système qui nie leurs existences notamment dans l’Inde rurale actuelle While leaving India, women run away from a system that opresses them, a system that denies there humanity,a system linked to a sacred text called The laws of Manou. Meanwhile, by emigrating, Indian women managed toemancipate and assert themselves beyond the religious codes that denied their existences, that confined them to aservile role, that educated them to be only a « good wife », a sati. But this experience of emigration isquestionning this patriarcal hinduism to build a matriarcal hinduism more bound to valorise gender and socialclass equality. This experience of uprooting, this loss of memory, this colonial immersion, allows Indian womento handle their destiny. Yet is emerging the figure of the « warrior woman, the shakti woman, the actionwoman » who is no more confined to be only a mother or a spouse, but a woman who acts, who fights, a womanwho takes the goddesses she adores, representative of the figure of the warrior woman, as a model. An artisticalprocess is emerging from this migratory fact, a process based on the identification of those women with mother'sgoddesses, a process that can be concieved as a mimesis, because it is lying upon the mythologies of archaicalhindu goddesses known under the name of shakti. This mimetical process allows Indian women to break freefrom the voices of oppression, from this patriarcal tragedy. This Indo-Guadeloupean figure of the XIXth centurycan be affiliated to its intimate otherness : the contemporary voices of Indian women. These women advocate arevolution, denounce a patriarcal hegemony that shall not survive in this world of « globalism ». Those femalevoices encourage female initiatives to fight to hold back this system that denies their existences especially incontemporary rural India.”

First, it questions the existence of a feminist movement in Afghanistan, according to the meanings and Western theoretical tools. Then it analyzes themobilization of women from the elements that cause mobilization for social and political transformation to ensure women's rights: those that have a significant impact on society such as politics and economy of both countries which do not leave room for women to express themselves freely.

Abstract:

La Communauté française décide en concertation avec la Région bruxelloise et la Région wallonne, de financer un Centre d’Epidémiologie Périnatale (CEpiP). Les Communautés et Régions chargent le CEpiP de les assister dans la vérification, le remplissage et la correction des certificats concernant les naissances à partir du 1er janvier 2008. Le CEpiP est également chargé d’encoder les certificats bruxellois, les certificats wallons étant toujours encodés par un sous-traitant.Un problème souvent rencontré dans l’analyse des certificats de naissance est la présence de données manquantes. Des informations manquaient sur 64.0% des certificats bruxellois de janvier 2008 (situation de base). Le renforcement de l’enregistrement par le CEpiP durant l’année 2008 est lié à une diminution des informations manquantes sur les certificats initiaux (à la sortie des maternités et services d’état civil) après la première et la deuxième année d’enregistrement :20,8% et 19,5% des naissances en décembre 2008 et 2009 respectivement. Le taux résiduel de données manquantes après correction grâce aux listes envoyées aux maternités et services d’Etat civil est faible. En particulier, la nationalité d’origine des parents était souvent manquante, jusqu’à 35% à Bruxelles (données non publiées), et ce taux est passé à 2.6% en 2008 et 0.1% en 2009. Certaines données manquantes ne sont pas distribuées de façon équivalente selon la nationalité de la mère, même après correction. Les mères d’origine sub-saharienne ont les taux de remplissage les moins élevés. Enfin, le taux de mort-nés a augmenté par rapport aux données de 2007, au profit des mort-nés avant l’âge de 28 semaines, et suggère une amélioration de l’enregistrement suite au renforcement de l’information.Les données concernant l’indice de masse corporelle des patientes sont donc relevées depuis 2009 pour l’ensemble des mères qui accouchent en Belgique. L’obésité maternelle et l’immigration sont en augmentation en Belgique, et ont été rarement étudiées au travers d’études de population sur les certificats de naissance. Des études ont pourtant montré que ces mères étaient à risque de complications périnatales, comme la césarienne ou la mortalité périnatale. L’obésité et l’immigration ont en commun le fait qu’elles recouvrent des réalités médicales, sociales et relationnelles face au personnel soignant, qui les mettent à risque de complications périnatales.Des différences en termes de complications obstétricales et néonatales entre populations immigrantes et autochtones ont été observées en Belgique et dans d’autres pays, mais elles sont encore mal comprises. Dans un premier travail d’analyse, nous avons évalué les taux de mortalité périnatale chez les mères immigrantes, en fonction du fait qu’elles étaient naturalisées ou non.Le taux de mortalité périnatale est globalement plus élevé chez les mères immigrantes (8.6‰) que non-immigrantes (6.4‰).Le taux de mortalité périnatale est globalement plus élevé chez les mères non naturalisées (10.3‰) que chez les mères naturalisées (6.1‰).Le taux de mortalité périnatale varie selon l’origine des mères, mais dans chaque sous-groupe étudié, les mères non naturalisées ont un taux plus élevé de mortalité périnatale.Des études ont successivement montré davantage, ou moins de césariennes chez les mères immigrantes. Peu de facteurs confondants étaient généralement pris en compte. Dans un second travail d’analyse, nous avons comparé les taux de césarienne dans plusieurs sous-groupes de nationalités.Les taux de césarienne varient selon les sous-groupes de nationalités. Les mères originaires d’Afrique sub-saharienne ont un odds ratio ajusté pour la césarienne de 2.06 (1.62-2.63) en comparaison aux mères belges. L’odds ratio ajusté n’est plus statistiquement significatif après introduction des variables anthropométriques dans le modèle multivariable pour les mères d’Europe de l’Est, et après introduction des interventions médicales pour les mères du Maghreb.Peu d’études ont analysé la relation entre l’obésité maternelle et les complications néonatales, et la plupart de ces études n’ont pas ajusté leurs résultats pour plusieurs variables confondantes. Nous avons eu pour but dans un troisième travail d’analyse d’étudier la relation entre l’obésité maternelle et les paramètres néonatals, en tenant compte du type de travail (induit ou spontané) et du type d’accouchement (césarienne ou voie basse). Les enfants de mères obèses ont un excès de 38% d’admission en centre néonatal après ajustement pour toutes les caractéristiques du modèle multivariable (intervalle de confiance à 95% :1.22-1.56) ;les enfants de mères obèses en travail spontané et induit ont également un excès de risque de 45% (1.21-1.73) et 34% (1.10-1.63) respectivement, alors qu’après une césarienne programmée l’excès de risque est de 18% (0.86-1.63) et non statistiquement significatif.Les enfants de mères obèses ont un excès de 31% de taux d’Apgar à 1 minute inférieur à 7, après ajustement pour toutes les caractéristiques du modèle mutivariable (1.15-1.49) ;les enfants de mères obèses en travail spontané et induit ont également un excès de risque de 26% (1.04-1.52) et 38% (1.12-1.69) respectivement, alors qu’après une césarienne programmée l’excès de risque est de 50% (0.96-2.36) et non statistiquement significatif.In 2008, a Centre for Perinatal Epidemiology was created inter alia to assist the Health Departments of Brussels-Capital City Region and the French Community to check birth certificates. A problem repeatedly reported in birth certificate data is the presence of missing data. The purpose of this study is to assess the changes brought by the Centre in terms of completeness of data registration for the entire population and according to immigration status. Reinforcement of data collection was associated with a decrease of missing information. The residual missing data rate was very low. Education level and employment status were missing more often in immigrant mothers compared to Belgian natives both in 2008 and 2009. Mothers from Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest missing rate of socio-economic data. The stillbirth rate increased from 4.6‰ in 2007 to 8.2‰ in 2009. All twin pairs were identified, but early loss of a co-twin before 22 weeks was rarely reported.Differences in neonatal mortality among immigrants have been documented in Belgium and elsewhere, and these disparities are poorly understood. Our objective was to compare perinatal mortality rates in immigrant mothers according to citizenship status. Perinatal mortality rate varied according to the origin of the mother and her naturalization status: among immigrants, non-naturalized immigrants had a higher incidence of perinatal mortality (10.3‰) than their naturalized counterparts (6.1‰). In a country with a high frequency of naturalization, and universal access to health care, naturalized immigrant mothers experience less perinatal mortality than their not naturalized counterparts. Our second objective was to provide insight into the differential effect of immigration on cesarean section rates, using Robson classification. Cesarean section rates currently vary between Robson categories in immigrant subgroups. Immigrant mothers from Sub-Saharan Africa with a term, singleton infant in cephalic position, without previous cesarean section, appear to carry the highest burden.If it is well known that obesity increases morbidity for both mother and fetus and is associated with a variety of adverse reproductive outcomes, few studies have assessed the relation between obesity and neonatal outcomes. This is the aim of the last study, after taking into account type of labor and delivery, as well as social, medical and hospital characteristics in a population-based analysis. Neonatal admission to intensive care and low Apgar scores were more likely to occur in infants from obese mothers, both after spontaneous and Doctorat en Sciences médicales info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Abstract:

Although Moroccan female-initiated migration to Europe has captured the attention of scholars in various fields of study, the majority of these studies have focused on macro-level analysis of resettlement and integration patterns. These studies, however, have bypassed the subtle impact of the socio-cultural junction between Islamic ideals and Western values. The interchange of the socio-cultural values resulting from Moroccan female immigration to Spain have complicated the Moroccan system of honor and marriage, which has played a crucial part in defining gender roles, space, production and reproduction. Using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, oral histories, and focus groups, this study aims to examine the effects immigration to Spain have on honor and marriage for Moroccan immigrant women.

Abstract:

Female migration in South Africa has been on the increase over the years. This thesis attempts to look at the demographic and socio-economic factors that drive this increase using data from the Africa Centre Demographic Information System (ACDIS) during the period 2001 and 2008. Using data that provides for timing of events such as migration and births, the study analyses the time it took females to migrate. Migration was defined as having out-migrated the Demographic Surveillance Area (DSA) and never coming back. Migration levels were found to be high with 28 per cent of the females between 15-49 years of age out-migrating from the DSA. Models were created to explore the demographic and socio-economic factors controlling for other known determinant of migration. In the logistic regression, odds ratios showed that parity and childbearing status were important predicators of female migration. Females with four children were less likely to out-migrate the DSA (a 61 per cent less chance of migrating compared to females without children). Furthermore, pregnant females were not likely to migrate (a 45 per cent less chance of migrating compared to females who are not pregnant or breastfeeding). In a survival analysis, determinants of timing of migration showed that females with high parities had a higher survivorships to out-migration, compared to females who were pregnant. Hazard ratios also showed that females with four children are not likely to migrate compared to females with four children (a 7 per cent less hazard of migrating compared to females with no children). Age, marital status and educational attainment were also found to be predictors of female migration. Older females were less likely to migrate compared to younger females (females in the 44-49 age group had a 70 per cent less hazard of migrating compared to females in the 15-19 age group). Currently married and cohabiting females had a 29 per cent less hazard of migrating compared to never married females. Females with high educational attainment were more likely to migrate compared to females without education (an 18 per cent higher hazard of migrating compared to females without education). The timing of migration showed that pregnant females migrate after five years into the start of their pregnancy (date of conception). In conclusion, females with many children and females who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not likely to migrate. Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

The research goals include: First, discussing the overall situation of Tainan County new immigration females’ participation in studies and their adaptation to the environment. Second, exploring their different cases of learning participation. Third, discussing the different situations on livelihood adaptation in those female immigrants with learning participation. Fourth, exploring the relativity degree between the new immigration females’ learning participation and livelihood adaptation . Fifth, proposing related suggestions on policy and practice, according to the research conclusion, for learning participation and life adaptation of the new immigration feminine. This research uses the questionnaire survey procedure and takes the Tainan County new immigration feminine with learning participation as objests of study. Altogether sends out 440 questionnaires, receiving back 420 questionnaires, returns-ratio 95%, availability factor 99%. Uses spss to carry on the statistical analysis, by the number of times assignment, the percentage, the mean value, the standard deviation, independent sample method analysis processings and t examination, single factor variance analysis and Piersen accumulated rate related, obtaining the conclusion as follows: First, the Tainan County new immigration females participate in the learning activities in a great time disparity. They study language ability and parental duty mostly in elementary schools. Second, the Tainan County new immigration feminine in learning activities improve their Chinese literate ability most; their individual, family and social adaptation forward as well. Third, the Tainan County new immigration females attend learning plans mostly in basic adult education field; the longer the questionees stay in Taiwan, the more time they spent in learning. Fourth, the Tainan County new immigration feminine whose overall life adaptation outstand are those who have participated in basic adult educatin plans or family education growth group activities, or those who do not work outside of home. The questionees have not participated in elementary or middle night school education get better social adaptation. Fifth, the longer the learning participation, the better the life adaptation . With higher learning participation hours every week, Tainan County new immigration feminine’s individual, family,and social adaptation soars. Based on the research, the discovery and conclusion put forward proposals separately to the units which offer study plans for the Tainan County new immigration feminine, to the new immigrant family members, the government corelated units and the future researchers in this subject, for their reference.

MA (Sociology) Department of Sociology The study aimed to explore on the oral narratives of selected female migrants in South Africa. It was a case study of Thohoyandou in the Limpopo Province. Female migrants are faced with integration challenges such as political and socio-economic challenges. The study focused on reflecting on stories of selected female migrants who reside in Thohoyandou. The study was qualitative in nature and utilised a qualitative exploratory research design because it was aimed at exploring perceptions on oral narratives of selected female migrants. The researcher made use of non-probability sampling in the form of purposive sampling method and snowball. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Data was then sorted, coded, organised and indexed in a manner that made it easier for the researcher to interpret, analyse and present in content analysis. Text was summarised by checking key themes, phrases or passages that were used in a more detailed analysis. The process was guided by the original aim of the study. Findings of the study postulated that most female migrants came for economic reasons and discrimination is perceived to be an important barrier to integration. Other significant integration barriers include linguistic, educational, and institutional factors. Internal factors (social, cultural, and religious norms, immigrants' own opinions about themselves, lack of motivation and intergenerational mobility) are also serious barriers to integration.

Abstract:

This study examines the characteristics of female in-migrants to the capital, Kuala Lumpur as distinguished from total urbanward female migrants in Peninsular Malaysia. The observed pattern has common features with those of other capital cities in Southeast Asia, for example, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila. The majority of female migrants may be streamlined into two contrasting types: those young, single and poorly educated with high labour force participation in low status service occupations, and those with at least secondary level education who were either continuing their education or holding jobs of high occupational status. In Kuala Lumpur, the latter group was characterised by older, recent migrant women above 25 years of age, married and mostly teachers by profession. The study seeks to identify the more important correlates of female labour force differentials between migrants and non-movers, and in which it is found that migration status and ethnicity are significant factors to be reckoned with. It is clearly evident that female migrants in the urban labour force in Kuala Lumpur were more likely to be employed in the service sector when compared to non-movers who were of similar age, marital status and education characteristics. Also, in these aspects, migrants with a shorter duration of residence (recent migrants) were more dissimilar from non-movers than long-term migrants.

Among non-EU female immigrants, women from North Africa and the Middle East show the lowest convergence towards native EU-citizens’ labor force participation (LFP) levels. Are their traditional views on gender roles the reason for this phenomenon? In this paper, we analyze the effect of gender roles on the labor market assimilation of immigrant women in the EU using the European Social Survey. We find that all female immigrants assimilate towards natives, but women from more traditional source countries work roughly 4 pp less than women from less traditional source countries over the years of residence in the host country.

Abstract:

Female genital cutting/circumcision/mutilation (FGC) is found predominantly in the Sahel, Northern Africa, removing parts/all of the clitoris, labia minora and majora in girls. Cutting the highly innervated external genitalia may change sensory processing leading to chronic pain. Fourteen Somali women in the Greater Toronto Area (21-46, Type III FGC) completed qualitative, quantitative and psychophysical methods to evaluate pain. Interviews analyzed by interpretive phenomenology form the core method, examining circumcision stories and present, embodied life. The second Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire and quantitative sensory testing with a vulvalgesiometer form secondary components. Somali women with FGC have pain-filled stories about circumcision and daily life. Socio-cultural considerations are central for women to comprehend how their own bodies feel. SF-MPQ-2 indicates low intensity or no pain symptoms; however, many body regions were indicated. QST reveals low vulvar pressure-pain thresholds. Reports from three measures suggest that FGC may cause sensory changes including chronic pain.

碩士 國立高雄師範大學 成人教育研究所 106 Abstract Due to developing modern technology and the concept of global village, the transnational marriage phenomenon is becoming ever more prevalent, save for the changing methods. However, the marital immigration wave also changes according to the economic conditions of the countries involved. Back when Taiwan was leader of the four Asian dragons, marital immigration was wide scale to the point that the government and public couldn’t accommodate them all. Today, Taiwan’s economy is not what it used to be. Therefore, shouldn’t we investigate and see whether if those female foreigners already in Taiwan are set for the new life? After all, only by soundly settling them in can Taiwan enjoy a brighter future, isn’t that so? The study targets six female interpreters for Southeast-Asian immigrants at First Kaohsiung City Service Center of the National Immigration Agency. Document analyses and in-depth interviews were performed to understand transnational marriage immigrants’ adapting of Taiwanese life and culture. The researcher not only documented these six females’ life and culture adaptation experience, but also learned the predicament faced by female immigrants in Taiwan. Moreover, the study also examined the direction taken by the government as well as NGOs in care and guidance policies in addition to current developments in order to provide comprehensive suggestions for reforms. Partial conclusion points are as follows: I. Family economic condition is not interviewees’ main reason for marrying and immigrating to Taiwan. Pursuit of happiness and the willingness to take on challenges are the actual key factors. II. Interviewees predominantly married through “referral by friends and family”, followed by “agencies” and “freedom of romance”. III. Adapting to life in Taiwan has nothing to do with age. Those who have stayed in Taiwan for longer durations or are better educated adapt better. IV. Interviewees’ expressed that due to linguistic capacity and social atmosphere early on after arrival, they could not confidently pass on their entire native tongue or culture to their children. They also returned to their home country on an average of 1~2 times per year. However, the instances would reduce annually once children are born in addition to familial economic conditions, to once every 3~4 years. V. The government should be fair in recruiting of various new immigrant cultural performing groups. They should refrain from giving preferential treatment to certain groups. In addition, they should also consider transportation convenience as well as shuttle needs of new immigrants living in remote areas when determining locations for where the events would be held. Lastly, the research proposes suggestions according to experience acquired as result of the process.

Abstract:

Ce mémoire a étudié les perceptions de femmes haïtiennes vivant au Québec depuis moins de cinq ans de leurs relations sexuelles avec les hommes et de leurs rapports de couple. Après avoir opté pour une méthodologie de recherche qualitative, la théorie féministe intersectionnelle a été retenue comme cadre d’analyse. Des entretiens individuels semi-dirigés ont été menés auprès de 9 femmes haïtiennes, âgées de 18 à 60 ans et ayant immigré au Québec depuis moins de cinq ans. Les perceptions des femmes de la sexualité ont été appréhendées comme étant un ensemble de discours et de pratiques inter reliés, qui se construit dès l’enfance, et qui reproduit les types de rapports inégalitaires entre hommes et femmes qui existent dans la société haïtienne et dans leur couple. Ces rapports inégalitaires sont véhiculés entre les générations à travers la plupart des institutions sociales comme la famille, l’école, la culture, la législation. Ce processus de construction des perceptions de la sexualité est également influencé par des enjeux socio-économiques et de pouvoir. Les résultats de cette recherche permettent de disposer de données scientifiques sur la sexualité des femmes et les rapports de couple en Haïti et l’influence du processus migratoire. Ces résultats soulignent également la nécessité pour le travail social haïtien d’encourager le développement de l’empowerment économique des femmes et leur participation aux débats actuels de la société sur l’évolution de la condition féminine. The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of Haitian women that had immigrated to Quebec in the past five years, of their sexual relationships with men and the extent to which it is reflected in the different types of conjugal relationships. After choosing a qualitative research method, the intersectional feminist theory has been adopted for the analysis. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 9 Haitian women, aged 18 and 60 years and having immigrated to Quebec in the past five years. The women’s perceptions of sexual relationships have been reported as being a set of practices and discourses interrelated built since childhood and reproducing the unequal relationships between men and women that exist in the Haitian society and in the couples. These unequal relationships are transmitted through the generations and through most of the social institutions such as family, school, culture, laws. This process is also influenced by socio-economic and power issues. The results of this research give scientific data on women sexuality and couple relationships as well as the influence of immigration process. These results also emphasize the need for the Haitian social work to encourage the development of economic empowerment of women and their participation in current debates in society on the development of women. Memwa sa a vle etidye ki pèsepsyon fanm ayisyèn yo genyen de rapò seksyel yo ak gason, e nan ki mezi pèsepsyon sa yo repwodwi kalite relasyon ki egziste ant yomenm ak nèg yo. Rechèch la chwazi yon metodoloji kalitativ, apresa li kenbe teyori feminis entèseksyonèl kom kad ki pou pemet li analize done li yo. Rechèch la nenen 9 antrevi mwatye ouvè, mwatye fèmen ak 9 fanm ayisyèn, ki genyen ant 18 ak 60 lane, epi ki imigre nan pwovens kebèk, nan peyi Kanada depi mwens pase 5 lane. Dapre rezilta rechèch la, pèsepsyon medanm yo genyen de seksyalite yo tradwi pa yon pakèt pawòl ak yon pakèt abitid ki mare ansanm. Medanm yo komanse ranmase bagay sayo depilè yo te timoun lakay paran yo pou jiskaske yo vin granmoun lakay pa yo. Fason sa yo medanm yo konprann seksyalite a tou, se yon bagay ki soti nan relasyon fòskote ki egziste ant fanm ak gason, ni nan sosyete ayisyènn nan, ni nan relayon konjigal yo. Bagay sa yo transmèt de generasyon an generasyon gras ak lafanmi, lekol, lakilti, lwa peyia.
