Abstract:
Every Society has its natural thing   both man and woman on equal lines, as human beings. Unfortunately, in that society the relations between men and women are not equal. Men are considered in social, economic and political as dominated and strong where women are considered as weak and dependent to their opposite sex. History of mankind says that in ancient period, women had enjoyed equal status and prestige on par with men in all walks of life. In medieval period, throughout the word, religion dominated the state, and subjugated the women to men and religion. In modern period, with the

Abstract:
The factors that determined the peculiarities of the social status of women in Ancient Sparta have been identified and analysed. It has been demonstrated that the establishment of community control over private life, namely: strict regulation of marriage and family relations, the compulsory nature of specific general education, which started for girls at the age of eight and lasted until marriage, determined that the national interests of women became a priority and dominated family values. It has been found that in Sparta, as in other polities of ancient Greece, childbearing was considered th

Abstract:
Nowadays, the image of the woman assimilates all valences, from the submissive and depreciated woman to the independent, dominant or the powerful woman. For a very long time, the imperative power of traditions provided a framed image of the status and roles associated with each gender, obviously favoring the male status. The social evolution of the last decades has caused the force of tradition to consistently lose its power and the gap between the male and the female status to shrink and, in certain communities, even reverse the power ratio.

Since the founding of the country, Chinas system of guaranteeing womens employment has become increasingly sophisticated.

Across three studies, we tested the hypothesis that women exhibit greater jealousy and mate guarding toward women who are in the high (vs. low) fertility phase of their cycle. Women who imagined their partner with a woman pictured at high fertility reported more jealousy than women who imagined their partner with a woman pictured at low fertility (Studies 1 and 2). A meta-analysis across studies manipulating fertility status of the pictured woman found a significant effect of fertility status on both jealousy and mate guarding.

This thesis covers the status of, and attitude to, the woman in Islam, as reflected by the literature of the Hadith. All previous works which have dealt with the status of the woman in Islam have attempted to cover vast areas and aspect ranging from the pre-Islamic era to our present time. However, no single work has ever been devoted to the position of woman as depicted in Muslim tradition. Since the amount of material collected is so vast, it seems to the author that even a general survey of the status of woman from pre-Isalmic times to our present day, is beyond the scope of this research,

Abstract:
Social accountability is becoming integral to the government of Cambodia’s reform agenda as a new approach to promote and empower citizens’ collective voice to demand accountability from state officials for improved public services. International donors and non-government organisations have initiated and implemented various tools of social accountability in Cambodia. This study examines three recent examples of social accountability initiatives in health, education and clean water.

Abstract:
Violence Against Women (VAW) and girls can take many forms globally, from the absence of personal agency to sexual violence and domestic abuse. 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.

This is often due to political barriers around exclusion by host g
