Testing the sexually abused-sexual abuser hypothesis: A prospective longitudinal birth cohort study. Child Abuse & Neglect, 51, 144– 153. The data and analysis presented in this chapter are taken from a larger research project that examines “everyday” experiences of discrimination, abuse, and hate crime targeting transgender people ( Colliver et al., 2019). Ethical approval was received from Kingston University in November 2016. The data used within this chapter formed part of a larger online element of the research project that explored the ways in which transgender people were constructed in an online context in relation to videos that focused on “gender-neutral” toilets. The dataset consisted of 1,756 comments posted by YouTube users on 10 randomly-sampled videos that were identified using the search term “gender-neutral toilets.”

Polyvictimization in the Lives of North American Female University/College Students: The Contribution of Technology-Facilitated Abuse Chapter 5 In March 2023, Womankind joined the other six organisations in the AWESOME consortium – EWDNA, FIDA Kenya, FOWODE, NUWODU, SWDA, WCC – to carry out joint advocacy at CSW67. Together, we held an event: Rural Girls’ and Women’s Feminist Movement Strengthening. Our partners shared their experiences of working with rural women from Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, from an intersectional feminist movement strengthening perspective with a global audience in the room. This article examines how the term ‘gender’ found its way into development and explores the consequences of the transposition of an activist analytical category onto the world of aid. It points out the simplifications and slogans that have accompanied its ‘mainstreaming’ and challenges the assumptions on which these ideas have come to depend. It argues for a renewed focus on analysing and transforming unequal and unjust power relations. We heard some fantastic examples of building a positive culture, not just in the workplace but also in communities across the UK’. Birgit from Santander said: allocating a social protection allowance for single women and sexual minorities, especially those who were the mothers of girls, which helped to reduce the number of female feticides.At times, similar rhetoric is drawn upon by YouTube users that have historically been invoked in the construction of homosexuality and heterosexuality (see e.g., Baker, 2004; Perone, 2014). In this sense, we are not witnessing anything new or innovative, rather a recycling of socially recognizable motifs in the construction of cisgender people as victims. It also becomes evident throughout this chapter that claims of victim status highlight how the construction of “the self” as a victim is often achieved within a collective framework, in which entire communities are positioned as victims, emphasizing the otherness of the minority group. It is argued that claiming a victim position is key in successfully opposing the implementation of gender-neutral toilets, while simultaneously deflecting claims of transphobia, bigotry, and hatred. The term “cisgender” describes a person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. The use and implications of this term have been contested as a result of the enforcement of another socially constructed binary ( Jamel, 2018). Despite the complexities associated with this term, it is used within this chapter as a useful identity marker and to challenge dominant representations of both cisgender and trans people. These challenges persist at a time when many companies, particularly in North America and Europe, are pursuing an arsenal of measures aimed at easing women’s progress through the organization. Such measures include efforts to make appraisals objective and unbiased; the adoption of diversity targets; greater flexibility in remote working; smoother transitions before, during, and after maternity leave; and executive coaching for high-potential vice presidents. Of the 235 European companies we surveyed recently, for instance, more than 60 percent told us they have at least 20 gender diversity initiatives in place.

Influencing the Agenda - Womankind Worldwide

Understand and articulate better what it takes to make a real difference to the relations of power that euphemistic talk about ‘gender equality’ obscures. Additionally, we awarded a strategic out of cycle Her Voice Fund grant to SVRI for Womankind to co-sponsor the Forum. This sponsorship contributed towards the attendance of 86 delegates working on violence against women and violence against children, including emerging scholars, practitioners, and activists who would not otherwise be able to attend. This added to the programme, by including issues such as disability access, LGBTQI+ rights, indigenous rights, and others. Holding the UK government to account Here at Lloyds Banking Group we were proud to be the first FTSE 100 Company to publically announce targets for our female and BAME senior colleagues, and look forward to working with partners from WIBF, Digital Leaders and beyond to continue to drive the Inclusion and Diversity Agenda. It was brilliant to unite people from both competing and complementary organisations coming together to support each other to push for progress for the UK. This is something we must do more of; see each other as sources of support rather than competition. A key part of establishing a “victim identity” is constructing a suitable offender. This is established in all of the comments presented above. In the first comment, the LGBTQI community is constructed as bullies. This comment is homogenizing, in that the comment does not function to differentiate between groups of people. As such, a clear offender is constructed. Widely accepted tropes surround the “abused” becoming the “abuser” is drawn upon to construct LGBTQI people, and “liberal” people more broadly as offending against cisgender, conservative people. Although largely accepted, these claims have been proven to be unfounded ( Leach, Stewart, & Smallbone, 2016). The final two comments construct LGBTQI communities as irritating, boisterous, and demanding. The use of the phrase “no negotiations” functions to construct these communities as unfair and unresponsive to compromise. In addition, the use of the word “violating” serves to construct a clear incident of victimization that cisgender communities experience. Through implication, this constructs cisgender communities as victims of this unfairness, building up their identity as “victims.” Similar findings have been found in the study of men's rights movements, in which women who are perceived to be feminist are constructed as vicious and aggressive ( Coston & Kimmel, 2013). In studies of the men's rights movements, men as the dominant group are often framed as in need of protection from women ( Girard, 2009). A similar rhetoric was found in these data in which cisgender people are constructed as needing protection, and a “safe space” away from transgender people. The End of the World Participant in ‘Ruler Heart’, a visual arts project about sexual harassment “I am really pleased that we have supported this guide for children and young people as well and I hope that it will encourage you to take action and do something creative to make positive changes that will benefit you. I am sure that this will be a major step towards our goal of ultimately eradicating violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence.”

Davidson, 2007 Davidson, M. ( 2007). Seeking refuge under the umbrella: Inclusion, exclusion, and organizing within the category Transgender. Sexuality Research and Social Policy, 4( 4), 60– 80. In Europe, many executives tell us that the momentum for change took hold only when the top team made its commitment visible—for example, by appointing women to senior positions or taking measures to ensure that they were considered for certain jobs. Sponsorship is (and always has been) a critical part of an executive’s path to the top. HR leaders tell us that these relationships are hard to institutionalize and that formal programs have mixed success. But we find it significant that one company did much better when the CEO and the diversity leader personally took charge of the sponsorship program, selected a group of high-potential women, and invited them to spend significant time with the top team. Women in the program really got to know the CEO and senior-team members, and vice versa, and most have since moved up the management ladder. Managing—and cultivating—the pipeline AGA is a vibrant community of sex and gender diverse individuals, their families, friends and allies. We hold regular community gatherings with some events being open to the broader public. What we believe On the other hand, it can shift the spotlight away from structural issues of social and economic justice onto the self-improving individual, dislocating the ‘gender agenda’ from the concern with the relational dimensions of power. examples of how creative methods and pedagogy, such as storytelling, crafting, movement or music, enables practitioners to become more aware of what matters to childrenAt Gore we believe that diversity of all kinds—gender, race, cultural identity—invariably drives better business outcomes from our teams, whether we’re working on new products, sales, or manufacturing processes. Our starting point has been to raise awareness of those benefits. Shift the frame from unhelpful presumptions to a closer analysis of the power relations that create and sustain social injustice. The term “transgender” has been defined in a number of different ways, offering different levels of inclusivity of identities, experiences, and expressions that fall outside contemporary Western gender binaries ( Davidson, 2007). In this chapter, the terms “transgender” and “trans” will be used interchangeably and are defined as denoting: The role of choice in transgender people's lives functions to decrease the “worthiness” of them as victims, as they are constructed as freely choosing to be in this particular position. The use of the phrase “a transgender” also functions to dehumanize transgender people, contributing to their inauthenticity as victims. In the three comments above, cisgender people are constructed as “victims” of advancing transgender equality. Similar techniques have been found in a study of “white victimhood” in which white people are threatened by racial equality movements ( Wilkins, Hirsch, Kaiser, & Inkles; 2017). Coyle, 2016 Coyle, A.
