Esta tesis reflexiona en torno a cómo reconstruyen la vida mujeres colombianas en situación de refugio en Ecuador. El trabajo reúne observaciones etnográficas, críticas teóricas así como un análisis sobre la situación de las mujeres colombianas refugiadas o que buscan estar en situación de refugio en el Ecuador, principalmente aquellas que se han asentado en la ciudad de Quito. El propósito es superar la visión del refugiado/a como un “otro”, para pasar a concebirlo como un sujeto fluido e involucrado activamente en la producción de su subjetividad.

Como consecuencia de la III Conferencia Internacional de la Mujer (Nairobi, 1985) los Estados asistentes se comprometieron a crear espacios institucionales encargados de implementar políticas públicas tendientes a la eliminación de la discriminación contra las Mujeres. Mendoza no fue una excepción.

La problemática central que planteo en esta investigación es que los discursos de género de las personas que laboran para el estado pueden influir en la construcción de identidades de género que ayuden a ratificar o a modificar estereotipos discriminatorios. Las visiones hegemónicas de cómo “deben” ser los sujetos son transmitidas en una relación educacional desde las instancias de poder a la sociedad civil (Gramsci, 1971: 350); entre estas instancias se encuentran: el estado, la iglesia, el sistema educativo y los medios de comunicación.

En este trabajo se presentan las concepciones y prácticas de los mayas tseltaletik de Bachajón, Chiapas, México, en torno al o’tan (corazón), como un concepto recurrente en la comunicación oral en el idioma tseltal. Al profundizar en la reflexión de este tema, empezamos a ver cómo o’tan (corazón) no es una sola palabra que permite la comunicación diaria de la gente, sino un concepto de vida que da cuenta de una manera particular de ver, entender, sentir y actuar en el mundo. De mostrar esto es de lo que trata esta tesis.

Transparency International’s experience shows clear links between the issues of land governance, women’s rights, corruption and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These links are especially prevalent in lower-income countries, where people’s reliance on their land is greatest, and land governance and women’s rights are often weak – as highlighted in our 2018 resource book Women, Land and Corruption. 

In Tanzania, several women employees at a court began to fall ill one after the other. What would normally be overlooked as an innocuous seasonal virus proved to be fatal – the women had been infected with HIV. It was eventually discovered that the court clerk who supervised the women had forced them to sleep with him if they wanted to receive their pay for working overtime. He was HIV positive.

Whether in the halls of American universities or on the streets of cities around the world, “sextortion,” or the abuse of power in which a sexual bribe is coerced, is a common but underreported phenomenon. The 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference hosted a panel on the troubling phenomenon, an aspect of corruption that is too often overlooked in the anti-corruption movement.

This guide presents a people-centred gender approach to increase and improve the provision of goods and services from agriculture, forestry and fisheries in a sustainable manner while reducing rural poverty.

Then, it presents some available participatory tools to support planning of gender-responsive territorial development.

Programs that seek to increase women’s participation in marketing activities related to the principal household economic activity must involve men if they are to be successful. In this paper we analyze take-up of a project that sought to increase women’s involvement in sugarcane marketing and sales by encouraging the registration of a sugarcane block contract in the wife’s name. We find that men who are more educated and live in households with higher wealth and expenditures are more likely to agree to the registration.

As climate change makes precipitation shocks more common, policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in protecting food systems and nutrition outcomes from the damaging effects of droughts and floods (Wheeler and von Braun, 2013). Increasing the resilience of nutrition and food security outcomes is especially critical throughout agrarian parts of the developing world, where human subsistence and well-being are directly affected by local rainfall.
