Autor/in:
European Commission; Directorate-General for Research; Innovation
Quelle: Publications Office of the European Union, 2022.
Inhalt: To promote diversity in R&I and open its gender policy to intersections with other social characteristics, such as ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation, the European Commission supports the development of inclusive gender equality plans (GEPs) and policies, in line with the 2020 Communication on the new European Research Area (ERA) and ERA Policy Agenda 2022-2024. As part of these efforts, this report presents emerging practices and policies at EU and national levels to support the inclusion and equal opportunity of students, researchers and staff from diverse backgrounds in European R&I systems.
The European Union's international promotion of LGBTI rights : Promises and pitfalls
Autor/in:
Thiel, Markus
Quelle: London: Routledge, 2021.
Inhalt: "This book critically analyzes the European Union’s promotion of LGBTI rights in the international arena. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex rights are heavily contested across the globe, with over 70 countries criminalizing same-sex relations and at least 10 imposing the death penalty.
The book details how the EU, based on different member state positions, attempts to jointly formulate and implement guidelines for the external promotion of LGBTI rights. It also problematizes the various normative and policy-based Eurocentric prescriptions to further these rights. Drawing on an international political sociology framework infused with queer theoretical thought, the author investigates the apparent normative tensions emerging from Europe’s promotion of LGBTI rights as liberal human rights and the ensuing pushback by culturally and politically conservative states. He examines the compatibility of EU institutional and member states’ conceptions of LGBTI rights and the more general question of the EU’s normative agenda-setting power on the world stage. He then explores the external policy areas in which LGBTI rights promotion is formulated and diffused – namely in development and foreign aid, in enlargement and neighbourhood policies, and in other international organizations. In conclusion, the author suggests viewing the contention surrounding LGBTI rights within broader governance contexts, and thus reimagining rights promotion in a more holistic manner."

Inhalt: “This textbook provides students across Social Sciences, Humanities, Politics, and International Studies with an indepth understanding of the issues, policies, and strategies for addressing the symptoms and root causes of violence against women (VAW) in sub-Saharan Africa. This text uses the United Nations Security Council’s Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on Women, Peace and Security in Eastern and Southern Africa as a framework to present the causes and impacts of VAW and to trace the journey of sub-Saharan African countries toward gender equality. It also provides an overview of the policy and legislative frameworks that underpin the progress, challenges, and achievements of addressing VAW based on four key pillars: prevention, protection, participation, and relief and recovery. Chapters provide a wealth of knowledge, as the book draws on academic literature; national, regional, and international legislations; and data collected from field research, and makes use of end-of-chapter discussion questions and quick study guides.
Students will come away equipped with the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to address and fix VAW in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.”

Visualisierungen des Politischen : Homophobie und queere Protestkultur in Polen ab 1980
Autor/in:
Austermann, Julia
Quelle: transcript, 2021.
Inhalt: "Homophober Hass in Polen wird durch Plakate, Piktogramme, Graffiti und weitere Bildtypen nationalistischer, rechtsradikaler und katholisch-fundamentalistischer Bewegungen propagiert. Durch das Internet sowie Straßenproteste finden diese homophoben Bilder Verbreitung im digitalen und urbanen Raum. Damit haben sie fundamentalen Einfluss auf Polens visuelle Kultur. Julia Austermann erforscht diese polnischen Text- und Bildkonvolute vor und nach 1989, die Auskunft geben über Homophobie sowie deren Sichtbarmachung und Bekämpfung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Analyse der Produktion dieser Bilder, des Umgangs mit ihnen sowie die damit verbundenen Emotionalisierungstechniken. Aber auch die queeren Interventionen gegen Homophobie werden untersucht.“

Gender Inequality and Welfare States in Europe
Autor/in:
Daly, Mary
Quelle: Cheltenham, UK; Northampton, MA, USA: Edward Elgar Publishing, 2020.
Inhalt: Gender equality has been one of the defining projects of European welfarestates. It has proven an elusive goal, not just because of political opposition but also due to a lack of clarity in how to best frame equality and take account of family-related considerations. This wide-ranging book assembles the most pertinent literature and evidence to provide a critical understanding of how contemporary state policies engage with gender inequalities.

She Figures 2018 : Gender in Research and Innovation
Autor/in:
European Commission
Quelle: Luxembourg, 2019.
Inhalt: Equality between women and men is a core value of the European Union, enshrined in the European Treaties. The EU, through a large body of legislation, actively promotes gender equality in areas such as equal pay, work-life balance, health and safety at work, social security, access to goods and services, and protection from human trafficking, gender-based violence and other forms of gender-based crime. The EU is also equally committed to advancing gender equality in research and innovation. More specifically, gender equality and gender ‘mainstreaming’ (the integration of a gender perspective in the preparation and evaluation of policies) in academic research is one of the priorities for the European Research Area, and the promotion of both of these policies within research and innovation is among the aims of the EU’s framework programmes. In Horizon 2020, gender equality is both a ‘cross-cutting’ issue and the topic of the dedicated Work Programme ‘Science with and for Society’, which funds specific initiatives in support of the EU’s gender equality strategy. The ‘She Figures’ publication provides a range of indicators on gender equality in research and innovation at pan-European level. It aims to give an overview of the gender equality situation, using a wide range of indicators to examine the impact and effectiveness of policies implemented in this area.
