Different Dimensions Of Gender Security
Об электронной книге
If we say the term ‘Gender Security’, people generally think about ‘women security’. But actually, it can encompass all kind of insecurity issues of human beings, and can talk about transgender vulnerability, child insecurity, old age problems and other human security issues like health, income and education. Gender security should not be a purely feminist issue to be discussed. This book, Different Dimensions of Gender Security tries to see the vulnerabilities of mankind through gendered lenses. The topics covered here are Gender Security and Law; Gender Security and Governance; Gender Security & Labour Force; Gender Security and Sustainable Development; Global Agencies for Gender Security; Gender Security in Domestic Sphere; Child Security Threats: Recent Trends and Gender Security and Pandemic: Recent Trends. In the twenty-three articles, authors have discussed this issue vividly. I really thank all the authors from India, Bangladesh and Nepal for discussing different dimensions of gender security from South Asian perspective.
The goal of this Book is to improve the standards of the international community of academicians, researchers, scholars, and scientists by exposing them to the latest trends, developments, and challenges in the field. I hope that this collection of essays can become a benchmark for the future as well as spur new research agendas and projects that will put the region into a much-needed conversation on the different dimensions of gender security in contemporary world.
The volume is essential reading for social scientists, bureaucrats and non-governmental political activists interested in gender security. It will also appeal to public policy analysts and scholars who have yet to adopt the contribution of critical security and development studies in the analysis of different dimensions of gender security.
