Exploring Gender Stereotypes

Book Cover

Dear readers, before you read chapters of this book, I think you should know the genesis of this book. This book contains fourteen articles, written by twenty-two scholars and academicians. Articles are trying to explore how we see Gender Stereotypes in society, culture, media and politics. All authors tried to explore the concept on different dimensions.
Editor, Dr. Amrita first came up with this idea almost one year ago. She already published some books on “Women Security” and pursuing research on different women security issues for longtime. But she questions always, “why people still equate women with gender”. Here comes ‘gender’ stereotypes. In social science writings or academic discussions, people always equate with women issues with gender issues and issues of male and transgender got neglected. That’s why she teamed with another erudite and energetic male researcher, Mr. Manoj Kumar, who is currently working in IIHSG, and started the book editing process.
I hope you all will enjoy reading this book as you will find diversified issues from diversified authors from different regions, age group and social group, touching topics like the Nexus of Human Security and the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic: Gendering European Union Security Strategies; Silenced Voices: Women, Conflict and Sexual Violence in International Law; Gender Stereotyping of AI Powered Humanoid Robot in Indian Hindi Cinema & Hollywood: A Case Study; Breaking the Mold: Women’s Struggle for Political Voice In India; The Experiences of Transitional Aged LGBTQ+ Youth in the Era of Covid 19: A Systematic Review; Women, Political Process and Grassroot Politics in Jharkhand: A Comparative Study of Rural and Urban Women; Alive on the Thrilling Marginal: Social Exclusion of Transgender People; Towards Gender Security: Understanding and Addressing Violence; Analyzing Perceptions of Educated People on Gender Stereotypes seen in Advertisements and Media; Gender Narratives: Navigating Stereotypes and Biases; Experiences of Marginalization among Gender Non- Conforming People; The Sex role Stereotyping and gender in John Fowles- The French Lieutenant’s Women; Culture, Religion, State and Bodies of Women; and Sociology of Gender. Titles of the paper prove that this book is successful in presenting a holistic view in front e readers.
The volume is essential reading for social scientists, bureaucrats and non-governmental political activists interested in gender identity and 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 gender.

Riddle of Employment Opportunities for Rural Women in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

Book Cover

In the 21st century, even after more than two decades have passed, the challenge of work division persists. Even if participation in work is achieved, the main cause of economic oppression seems to be unequal wages based on gender. For rural Indian women, the complexity generated during employment creates more problems than the availability of job opportunities itself. If these complexities are examined impartially, it's not just about unequal wages; rather, numerous factors emerge on social, political, religious, gender, and traditional bases that complicate their access to available opportunities and hinder easy living. Understanding these enigmas of employment, the subtle level of work performed by rural women is attempted to be explained in this book through detailed analysis. For this purpose, a survey and interview of women from various villages in the development block of Devkali in the Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh have been conducted. The effort to comprehend this reality with clarity has been carried out in different phases. In the inaugural chapter, an in-depth exploration of rural working women is undertaken, delving into their introduction and conceptual framework. This sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of their experiences and challenges. The second chapter delves into the extensive body of literature surrounding employment opportunities for rural women, offering a meticulous analysis that unravels the complexities of their professional landscape. This rigorous examination illuminates key trends and patterns. Chapter three provides a panoramic view of the study area, offering insights into its historical and geophysical background. By contextualizing the region, a deeper understanding of the dynamics shaping the employment landscape for rural women emerges. Moving forward, the fourth chapter meticulously scrutinizes the myriad obstacles and fluctuations that impact employment opportunities for rural women. Through a discerning lens, this chapter dissects the challenges that these women encounter on their professional journey. Chapter Five navigates the intricate terrain of familial dynamics and societal attitudes toward women's workforce participation. By shedding light on these multifaceted aspects, a nuanced understanding of the broader ecosystem in which rural women operate is attained. In the ensuing chapter, the focus shifts to the formidable barriers posed by entrenched traditional values, virility, and patriarchal hegemony. These entrenched forces pose significant challenges to the advancement of rural women in the workforce, making this chapter a critical exploration of the prevailing socio-cultural context. The final chapter turns its attention towards wages, work performance, and the imperative work of safeguarding the rights of rural working women. By dissecting these crucial facets, this chapter seeks to fortify the foundations upon which the empowerment of rural women in the workforce stands.

Book Cover

This book is based on the M. Phil. Dissertation on "Problems and Prospects of Sino-Bangladesh Bilateral Relations: An Analysis", submitted to the Department of Political Science at Dhaka University for the M.Phil. in Political Science degree. This study highlighted the existing problems and prospects of bilateral relations of Bangladesh and China in terms of different issues like Rohingya repatriation, Maritime Silk Route, etc. Although many studies have been conducted on this topic, none have brought attention to the problems with foreign policy in relation to development issues as this one has. This study identified the reality of international politics in different spheres of their lives that can assist the government in formulating policy to develop more vibrant relations. The study will be helpful to the decision-maker in determining the best course of action for developing the Sino-Bangladesh issue and understanding the requirements for its resolution. The study will also benefit diplomats and policymakers because they will be able to recognize their priorities, and at the very least, solve them on an individual basis. The purpose of the present study is to contribute to an understanding of the current Sino-Bangladesh relationship and to explore the new dimension of Sino-Bangladesh foreign relationship. The study proceeds with the following objectives –
1. To explore the new empirical sights into political drivers in the further development of the Sino- Bangladesh bilateral relation.
2. To examine international relations and geopolitical theories like Realism, Mahan’s Sea Power.
3. To understand the opportunities of Look East Policy.
4. To review Bangladesh-China economic diplomacy
5. To analyze the current posture of Bangladesh-China defense relationship.
