Abstract:
This paper seeks to interpret the concept of intersectional female oppression as depicted in Chimamanda Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus of 2003. The novel revolves around Achike’s family and addresses the theme of violence, oppression, gender and freedom which led to it receiving the Hurston-Wright legacy award in 2004 and Commonwealth writers’ price in 2005. Kimberle Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality on female oppression and the way it distinguishes itself from other approaches on female oppression offers a useful framework to examine and understand the multifaceted and interconnected nature

ABSTRACT This article illustrates a framework for intersectional music analysis that is based on four domains of oppression understood by Patricia Hill Collins as the matrix of domination. Arising from black feminist thought, intersectionality responds to intersecting oppressions imposed upon individuals. An intersectional perspective illuminates multiple layers of identity by attending to issues of race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, and other factors. By transferring Collins’s matrix of domination to cultural contexts, we can understand how intersectionality applies to the cultural form

Abstract:
Ecofeminism was formally proposed in the 1970s and widely applied to sociology, religion, and political science, and plenty of other disciplines. Indeed, some visionary female writers applied ecofeminism theory to literary writing as early as the Victorian period, with the awakening of female thought. Jane Eyre, a classic work of the period, explores the connection between nature and female consciousness and reveals the tragedy of men mutilating and oppressing women and nature in the 19th century. The novel depicts men's dominance and oppression of nature and women in a way that subverts binar

The present study is aimed to review of the development of feminist critical discourse in Pakistani context.

This article provides a review of the dual version of female oppression in Pakistani context i.e. religious and cultural. The very first perception of women oppression in Pakistan by the western world is wrong as Pakistan as an Islamic ideological state does not oppress women rather guarantees their equal rights.

Abstract:
Eco-feminism is a movement and an ideology against the oppression of nature and females. It shows a link between nature and females that are exploited and oppressed by males in the world. It discovers that the position of the nature and women is similar and both are treated as submissive and subservient subjects. It is related to masculine domination in the society. Historically, it appeared as a great political movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the west. It was Francoise d'Eaubonne who first developed the term ecological feminism in 1972 discussing that the destruction of the plan

While literature on intersectionality proliferates, mention of anarchafeminism, which is a feminist tradition that focuses on the intersectional nature of female oppression, is scarce to say the least. This feminist strand of anarchism has largely been neglected both within feminism and the left. I argue that anarchafeminism is a particularly timely form of feminism because it is able to articulate a feminism free of essentialism. Furthermore, I argue that an ontology of the transindividual is the best possible philosophical ally for this project.

"This article discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the particular case of a controversial Dove campaign for Real Beauty (CFRB) and its role in the production and consumption of contemporary popular meanings of empowerment, social change, and female beauty in global consumer culture.

The analysis replaces the oversimplifying approaches to the ethics of CSR with a com

Abstract:
The broken gender lens, based on androcentrism, gendered polariza­tion and biological essentialism, are considered one of the most significant challenges for today’s world. Views about powerfulness of men and insig­nifi­cance of women as a second sex have been entrenched in social institutions of various countries, ethno-cultural ways of life, and human minds since ancient times when monotheism took prevalence over polytheism. The equality of male and female deities in pagan beliefs stayed in the past. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam made radical changes in views about men’s and women’s roles

To better understand how VAW affects women in the Middle East in particular, this policy brief addresses various instances of violence against Kurdish women in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). A particular focus is given to forced/arranged marriages, honour-based violence, and female genital mutilation, which form a ‘patriarchal trifecta’ of oppression: a phenomenon that the author has identified and researched extensively.
