In view of this, by using a comprehensive care index and mothers' time use data from a countrywide household survey, this research explores how mothers' time in various activities influences the effect of ‘care’ on rural Bangladeshi children's nutritional status. Based on multiple regression analysis, this study finds that although ‘care’ is a highly significant determinant of child nutrition; its effect varies considerably with mothers' working hour in different activities. In particular, the significance of care attenuates completely when mothers' workload in unpaid household work is accounted for. Thus, this research suggests that a given level of childcare exerts varying effects on child nutrition as mothers' work time varies in different activities. This finding has important policy relevance because rural women's unpaid workload has been intensified by agricultural and rural development initiatives over the past years in Bangladesh. Finally, this study concludes that unless mothers can be freed from excessive workloads, policy interventions intended at improving child nutrition may not become as successful as one would expect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103150"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513625","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}

Generating data from small group interviews with 49, 10–11-year-old girls in 2022, the research found a heterosexualised, ‘emphasised’, femininity to be a minority form, and introduces a hybrid femininity, consisting of traditional feminine and masculine qualities. This was the most common and valorised version and was also connected to the characteristics of an ‘idealised’ schoolgirl. Although hybrid forms have been applied to adolescent girls and women, they are under-theorised with pre-adolescents. Taking a social constructionist approach, the paper views femininities as being relational and argues they are temporal, situated, dynamic and fluid. Some girls could be ‘tomboys’ and ‘girly-girls’ without feeling any contradiction or fear of derogation. Unable to find a particular, dominant, form of femininity, there was also an absence of gender hierarchies. The paper suggests that neither a singular and dominant form, nor a steep hierarchy of femininities in every setting, is neither axiomatic nor inevitable, and that the gender landscape can be more even and less steep. The research also argues that schools can counter and change inequalities, particularly when children are actively involved in the process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103149"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513550","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 study explores how internal migration influences rural women's empowerment using longitudinal data from five waves of the China Family Panel Survey (2014–2022). We use fixed effects and instrumental variable methods to account for endogeneity concerns. Specifically, we exploit the staggered implementation of China's 2014 household registration (<em>hukou</em>) reform across provinces as an exogenous source of variation in migration opportunities. This reform, designed to relax internal migration restrictions and implemented in phases between 2014 and 2016, provides a quasi-natural experiment for identifying the causal impact of migration. Our findings reveal that internal migration significantly enhances rural women's labor market outcomes, autonomy in marital and fertility decisions, and political participation. The effects are particularly pronounced among women aged 16–35, those with medium to high skill levels, and those from low- to middle-income households. Additionally, we identify human capital accumulation and digital exposure as key mechanisms driving these empowering effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103152"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144480721","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}

Operating within a context marked by the AKP's conservative gender policies, secular feminist resistance, and rising global anti-gender discourse, Havle formulates an alternative vision that blends feminist ideals with Islamic values. Through its discourse, initiatives, and advocacy, Havle challenges both conservative and secular feminist interpretations of gender equality, leading to normative innovation.

According to a 2023 report, South Korea accounts for 53 % of the world's deepfake pornography. Since 2020–2021, deepfake technology has primarily been used to create and distribute pornography without consent, serving as a tool for controlling and humiliating women, violating their dignity and rights. The AI-generated sexual violence of South Korea has distinct features, for instance, the offenders aim to humiliate acquaintances through non-consensual and/or manipulated sexual content. Despite the groundwork laid by the South Korean #MeToo movements, I observe that most victims of deepfake pornography have mainly sought criminal justice rather than speaking out about their experiences as a part of digital testimony: this phenomenon can be conceptualized as a form of “Quiet Feminism” (Jung and Moon, 2024) in the era of everyday backlash against feminism. Unlike previous #MeToo movements, victims/survivors of AI-generated violence tend to withdraw from online spaces due to the fear of further violence through doxing, or the exposure of private identifiers such as name, home address, mobile phone number, workplace, and face. This doxing increases the likelihood of online and offline violence converging. Although the production and distribution of deepfake sexual content was criminalized in September 2024, the persistence of widespread deepfake sexual violence underscores the need for continued progress toward gender equality in South Korea.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144470020","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}

However, within academic discussion on the #MeToo movement, the role of workplace justice mechanisms for preventing and responding to sexual harassment remains under-explored. Understanding the potential and pitfalls of these mechanisms requires hearing the perspectives of those who have attempted to navigate them. Therefore, this article analyses workers' perspectives of employer initiatives to prevent and respond to sexual harassment using a case study of the film and television industry, the sector at the centre of the 2017 #MeToo movement. It draws on analysis of interview data from 18 people working or studying in the UK film and television industry who had experienced and/or spoken up about sexual harassment and violence at work since December 2017. Interviewees' accounts of employer responses to sexual harassment disclosures reveal that action was only taken in a minority of cases, amidst a reliance on informal approaches for addressing this issue. In addition, interviewees described new risks including employees being encouraged to speak out about harassment and abuse but then being punished or victimised by employers when they do so. Furthermore, mechanisms for prevention and response to sexual harassment were still, according to interviewees, lacking in many workplaces.</div><div>Overall, amidst ongoing revelations of sexualised abuses of power within the industry, these findings reveal how the renewed focus on sexual harassment since #MeToo continues to shape industry practices and working conditions, even while this progress is contested and uneven.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 103144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144322288","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}
