It further investigates whether independent directors moderate this relationship. For the analysis, panel data is used from 104 BSE Dollex-listed firms over a twelve-year period (2011−2023). Firm performance was assessed using accounting-based measures (ROA and ROE) and market-based measures (Tobins Q and MBV). Multiple regression models were applied to test direct and moderating effects. The study reveals that female directors are negatively associated with ROA but show no significant link with ROE. When independent directors act as moderators, this negative relationship with accounting performance weakens significantly. For market-based measures, female representation is positively related to Tobin's Q, while the association with MBV becomes insignificant after the inclusion of independent directors as moderators. The findings highlight that the existence of independent directors helps to mitigate the adverse relationship between the presence of women directors and firm performance. These findings of the study advances agency and resource dependency theories by showing that independent directors reduce agency costs and enhance resource access linked to gender diversity. Moreover, this is a pioneering endeavour to examine the association between gender diversity and firm performance with the moderating influence of independent directors after the decade-long mandatory appointment of women and independent directors to boards in India. These findings pose important implications for government, lawmakers, corporations, academia, and society. Finally, the robustness of the results has been confirmed through alternative model specifications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 103223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper extends the scope of state feminism by incorporating the role of media, analysing the gender and sexual norms articulated by state-controlled newspapers and social media in their representations of queer women, in order to understand how different media advance or undermine gender equality. Drawing on materials from state-owned newspapers and Weibo over a six-year period (April 13, 2018 – April 13, 2024), the findings show that the conditional visibility of queer women in state-controlled newspapers reflects a compromised form of state feminism, permitted only when serving Party–state interests by reinforcing heteronormativity and nationalist logics. In contrast, Weibo provides a space where queer women's visibility is subject to negotiation. We propose the concepts of normalisation and low-risk activism to capture how queer women activists on Weibo exercise bounded agency to promote gender and sexual diversity and to raise awareness of gender-based violence.

A multistage sampling technique was employed to select 673 residents, ensuring a diverse and representative sample for analysis. The study revealed low satisfaction levels among respondents concerning the current state of GEWE, suggesting a gap between policy intentions and on-the-ground realities. Additionally, a robust positive correlation was found between GEWE and SSUD in Dhaka, a relationship consistently confirmed through various statistical tests. Expert interviews further highlighted the importance of addressing seven key GEWE indicators to foster more inclusive and sustainable urban development. This study's findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and government agencies, emphasizing the need to integrate GEWE into urban development frameworks. The research underscores the critical role of GEWE in achieving SSUD in Dhaka and other rapidly urbanizing cities within developing countries.

The research develops a novel Violence Against Women Corporate Impact Index (VAW-CII), utilizing data from global indicators to quantitatively assess the prevalence of VAW and its influence on corporate governance and ESG outcomes.

The results show that higher levels of VAW weaken the positive effects of gender diversity on ESG performance. This suggests that societal marginalization of women, as reflected in VAW, undermines their ability to contribute effectively to corporate governance and ESG strategies. Business leaders and policymakers should recognize the impact of societal violence on gender diversity and ESG performance, implementing reforms that address both internal and external gender inequalities to promote more inclusive and effective corporate governance. The study highlights the importance of addressing broader societal issues, such as VAW, to foster gender equality in corporate leadership and improve ESG performance.

The results reveal two distinct phases: an initial surge of mass mobilization, characterized by large-scale collective and psychological empowerment, and a subsequent protracted phase of disempowerment. The decline in the OSK's capacity for sustained action is correlated with escalating state repression, which systematically depleted the movement's human, material, social-organizational, and moral resources. This resource erosion progressively undermined participants' psychological agency and constricted the movement's strategic choices. The study concludes that the gendered dynamics of democratic backsliding paradoxically function as both a catalyst for initial mobilization, by intensifying grievances, and an impediment to sustained resistance, by systematically dismantling the essential conditions for collective action and eroding the psychological resilience and agency of participants. Democratic backsliding constitutes an adaptive assault on the social and psychological infrastructure of civic action, systematically narrowing political opportunities and uncovering the inherent precarity of sustained resistance in increasingly authoritarian environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 103217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed a qualitative research methodology by conducting in-depth interviews with Pashtun women who shared their first-hand experiences regarding violence as well as cultural practices and strategies for resistance amid patriarchal influences. The study findings demonstrated that Pashtunwali values underpin gender-based violence and gender inequality alongside the subordination of women, which deeply affect women during their entire lives. Traditional justice systems (jirgas), together with the formal legal system, maintain dual functions while failing to shield women from abuse because Pashtun society maintains deep-rooted patriarchal values. The purposeful combination of legal system changes and cultural restructuring alongside gender-aware policies represents essential methods to manage GBV appropriately. The research expands current knowledge regarding cultural norms and gender violence because it details the complicated relationship between gender-based practices and patriarchal traditions with legal institutions. Stakeholders need to implement a multi-tiered strategy to fight GBV that integrates the transformation of laws and the development of gender-sensitive guidelines and educational programs that work to combat entrenched cultural elements endorsing violence.

Results show instances of sexual misconduct most commonly, with the most prevalent categories from the taxonomy being explicit comments; soliciting sexual acts; and asking personal questions. With respect to sexual assault, the most common categories from the taxonomy were non-consensual touching of a non-sexual body part; attempted touching of a non-sexual body part; and non-consensual touching of a sexual body part.
