Abstract

ABSTRACT After completing Clean India Mission’s first phase, the government declared the campaign a success and set out plans to implement the second phase. However, emerging evidence has questioned the claim’s validity as open defecation remains a reality in the country. Acknowledging the well-established link between sanitation and gender, this study has looked into the campaign through a gender lens. Based on a discourse analysis, it critically examines the implementation phase of the campaign by analyzing how the mission developed treatises about women’s group identity, pursued women’s empowerment, and created gender-sensitive messaging. This study concludes that the campaign did not pursue its gendered objectives properly; from the policy level to the implementation, the campaign failed to – i) address existing differences within different groups of women in rural India and ii) disseminate gender-sensitive messaging. Although the campaign created some foundations for women’s empowerment, there remains untapped potential.

“清洁印度”任务在农村地区执行的批判性分析:性别视角

在完成清洁印度任务的第一阶段后，政府宣布该运动取得了成功，并制定了实施第二阶段的计划。然而，新出现的证据对这种说法的有效性提出了质疑，因为露天排便在该国仍然存在。认识到卫生设施与性别之间已确立的联系，本研究从性别角度审视了这一运动。在话语分析的基础上，它通过分析特派团如何发展关于妇女群体认同的论文，追求妇女赋权，并创造性别敏感的信息，批判性地审视了运动的实施阶段。这项研究的结论是，该运动没有适当地追求其性别目标;从政策层面到执行，该运动未能- i)解决印度农村不同妇女群体内部存在的差异，ii)传播对性别问题敏感的信息。尽管该运动为赋予妇女权力奠定了一些基础，但仍有未开发的潜力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
