I found that women in co-management structures deliberately and willingly engage in gendered practices of <em>Ijjat</em> (honour) and <em>Purdah</em> (physical and spatial restrictions and segregation), showing reluctance in taking leadership positions, veiling, asserting themselves non-confrontationally and adopting silence. Drawing on the concept of instrumental agency (<span><span>Burke, 2012</span></span>), I focus on two strategies these women utilise: compliance with norms and self-muting. Their strategic choices elevate their place in their communities, enable them to secure access to credit, and enhance their status within their families and in public spheres. My findings show that women's use of norm compliance and self-muting empowers them individually but hampers collective gains and limits co-management functioning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103161"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144634407","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 ERicar project aimed to understand maternity needs through co-creating a prototype of an antenatal care community information resource with a group of these women in the North of England. The project consisting of eight participatory workshops with 11 women enabled an understanding of Roma women's needs in pregnancy, childbirth, and maternity services, and the sharing publicly available resources such as pregnancy apps. This led to the co-creation of a little booklet (zine) to meet their community needs. The women's pregnancy journeys covered several topics such as unplanned pregnancies, nausea and vomiting, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. Through all these, the main message they wished to convey was the need for women in the community to overcome the stigma of seeking help for their mental health. The aim of this article is to share the insights from our participatory approach of engaging with Roma women, harnessing their creative abilities from the telling of their pregnancy journeys. Our qualitative findings are presented with a focus on migration history with its effects of systemic racism, informed through the lens of intersectionality. In addition, we aim to demonstrate the potential of the resource that was developed to improve the community's access to antenatal care information resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144634404","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}

Based on in-depth interviews with ten women working in Jakarta's Sudirman and Kuningan districts, this phenomenological study showed that capitalist-driven urban structures and patriarchal norms constrained women's social interactions, rendering third places increasingly individualistic, utilitarian, and commercialized. Traditional gender roles further burden women with caregiving responsibilities, even in public settings. Women still adopt adaptive strategies despite the stated constraints, specifically reclaiming multifunctional physical spaces and extending their presence into digital third places such as social media, online forums, and messaging platforms to foster solidarity and professional growth. However, structural barriers, such as the dominance of commercial spaces, lack of safe public areas, and gendered mobility restrictions, continue to hinder full self-actualization. To transform third places into truly empowering environments, urban policy should prioritize gender-sensitive planning, invest in inclusive and non-commercial public spaces, and dismantle systemic inequalities that shape the city.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103167"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144634405","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}

Despite persistent gender inequality, a growing number of young South Korean men view themselves as victims of gender discrimination. This discontent—particularly prominent among men in their 20s and 30s (the “2030 men”)—has become a powerful electoral force, prompting mainstream parties to adopt anti-feminist rhetoric during the 2022 presidential election. I demonstrate that NMS plays a central role in organizing and amplifying this grievance through strategic framing that legitimizes male victimhood, demonizes feminism, and presents the group as moral defenders of “true” gender equality. By portraying feminists as an entrenched status quo and demanding the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, NMS frames gender politics as a zero-sum battle over fairness, freedom, and social order. Their emotional appeals emphasize self-sacrifice, underdog heroism, and the protection of future generations. Different from existing studies which analyze digital anti-feminism from follower sentiment in the manosphere, this study shifts the analytical focus to the framing strategies of an anti-feminist group. Based on a qualitative content analysis of 76 YouTube videos produced by NMS during South Korea's 2022 presidential election campaign period, this article reveals how influencer-led digital anti-feminist movements translate affective discontent into coordinated political action.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144632739","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}

Patterns of continuity and the changes in the imagery, symbolism, and written texts in these advertisements were examined. Results suggest shifting historical patterns that coalesce around: 1) the body parts focused on in the advertisements, with shifts from the underarms to the legs to pubic hair over time; 2) the messages to women about cleanliness, hygiene, and attractiveness, with a move from more overt descriptions of abjection to more subtle messages about sexuality and empowerment; 3) remarkable consistency of the virtues of whiteness, with notable lack of diversity about race, size, age, disability, and skin color; 4) changing norms of sexism, from treating women's body hair as a tainting (1920s–1950s) to seeing women as frivolous (1960s and 1970s) to overtly sexualizing women (1980s and 1990s) to selling neoliberal empowerment (2000s and beyond); and 5) limited forms of progress, particularly around expanding women's roles (e.g., athletes, working mothers).
