Inhalt: The issue of gender justice has drawn the attention of gender scholars as does gender equality a justice or civilization. Because of this, the paper examined women and gender equality justice or civilization. In discussing these gender issues, several documents, reports, newspapers, magazines, archives, articles, journals, among others, were systematically reviewed to support the argument. Two theories were used in supporting the argument. These are Islamic Feminist and Liberal Feminist theories. The assumptions of these theories centered on gender equality and gender justice in society. The study found that gender equality is not civilization but justice. This is of the fact that both men and women are born equal and need equal justice for the development of the nation. The paper recommended that men and women should be given equal opportunity in all aspects of life in order to ensure gender justice. Parents and religious leaders should adhere to the principles of gender equality for the betterment of society.

Inhalt: "Nearly for half a century women's advancement in the workplace has been in a debate. Women’s under-represented in higher education institutions and universities across the globe, and especially in the most powerful or influential posts, is well established. Despite gender equality commitments and women's educational attainment, still, they are underrepresented. Regions and countries may vary in term of culture, achievements and development, but barriers for women's representation in academia are surprisingly similar in many regions. It is found that there are several barriers which women might be experiencing in academia ranging from personal, organizational to societal." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: One of the fundamental values of the constitutional order in the Republic of Macedonia is the principle of equality which guarantees the equal rights regardless of the gender. The recognition and the promotion of the gender equal opportunities are a necessary precondition for democratic development. In the past 24 years of the independence, the political parties in the Republic of Macedonia passed through various stages and changes, which include the attitudes of the parties towards women issues. This paper will research the capacity of the main political parties in the Macedonian bloc, SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE, to develop, adopt and implement gender sensitive policies. The research will be based on the analysis of the election programs regarding the Parliamentary elections in 1990, 2002 and2011. The analysis will cover the development of the gender sensitivity in the election programs of SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE for the period of two decades.

Inhalt: Discrimination against women based on the fact that they are women is a deeply rooted practice in all societies. However, the level of discrimination varies greatly with the level of development of the given society and strongly influences and vice versa it is influenced by the status of women in a given society. Addressing this gender-based discrimination is a difficult task because it is closely linked to the concept of equality, and state’s action and inactions. The article establishes that the States parties’ obligation is to ensure that there is no direct or indirect discrimination against women in their laws, sanctions, and other remedies and those women are protected against discrimination in the public, as well as, in the private spheres.

Inhalt: "Die ländliche Entwicklungspolitik hat in Österreich seit dem EU-Beitritt 1995 eine politische und monetäre Aufwertung erfahren. In der laufenden Förderperiode (2007 bis 2013) stehen diesem Politikbereich rd. 8 Mrd. Euro zur Verfügung. Im folgenden Beitrag wird diskutiert, inwieweit die ländliche Entwicklungspolitik und ihre Förderinstrumente mehr Verteilungsgerechtigkeit, Chancengleichheit und Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern im ländlichen Raum herbeiführen können. Am Beispiel des geschlechterpolitischen Ansatzes 'Gender Mainstreaming', der die Einbindung der Chancengleichheit von Frauen und Männern in sämtliche politische Konzepte und Maßnahmen der Europäischen Union vorsieht, wird dargestellt, wie dieses Instrument im Bereich der ländlichen Entwicklung ein- und umgesetzt worden ist und welche Auswirkungen es bisher auf die Weiterentwicklung der Geschlechterverhältnisse im ländlichen Raum gehabt hat und in Zukunft haben kann."

Inhalt: "Since the accession of Austria to the European Union in 1995, rural development policies have become increasingly important, both in political and in financial aspects. In the current program period (2007-2013), 8 billion Euro will be spent on rural policy measures in Austria. This article analyzes, to which extent rural development policy and its instruments have the potential of transforming the gender-relations in favor of more equality. Considering the strategy of 'gender mainstreaming', interested in implementing gender equality in all political concepts and measures of the European Union, it will be discussed, how comprehensively this strategy has been realized in the rural development policies of Austria and which impacts it had and possibly will have for the progressive promotion of gender-relations in the rural areas."

Reform von oben: die DFG wagt einen neuen Anlauf Richtung Gleichstellung

Inhalt: "Wie soll die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern an den Hochschulen künftig vorangetrieben
werden? Die Mehrheit der Mitglieder der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft hat dazu Gleichstellungsstandards vereinbart, die beispielsweise darauf abzielen, den Anteil von Professorinnen zu steigern. Der Zeitpunkt ist zwar günstig, doch Anlass für zu viel Euphorie besteht noch nicht – denn wenn alte Leitbilder durch neue ersetzt werden sollen, ist mit Widerständen zu rechnen." [Autorenreferat]
Inhalt: "How should universities promote gender equality so that both genders have equal rights at every
level in the future? The majority of the members of the German Research Foundation (DFG) have agreed to a standard of equality which aims at – for example – increasing the number of female professors. Even though this happens at a favourable moment, there is no reason for too much excitement – if old principles are overcome, resistance is to be expected." [author's abstract]

Geschlecht - die überschätzte Dimension sozialer Ungleichheit: zentrale Herausforderungen liegen anderswo
Titelübersetzung:Gender - the overestimated dimension of social inequality: main challenges lie elsewhere

Inhalt: "Die Industriegesellschaft war eine patriarchalisch geprägte Männergesellschaft, die Frauen den Zugang zu privilegierten Positionen versperrte. Post-industrielle Dienstleistungsgesellschaften werden hingegen zunehmend zu Frauengesellschaften, in denen geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede an Bedeutung verlieren. Seit den 1960er Jahren haben sich die Geschlechterverhältnisse stärker verändert als in den 100 Jahren zuvor. Diese stille Revolution findet in aktuellen Gleichheitsdiskursen zu wenig Berücksichtigung. Ungleichheitsforscher und Gleichstellungsbeauftragte sollten ihr Augenmerk stärker auf die zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Tage richten: das Fortdauern von Klassenunterschieden sowie die prekäre Integration von Migrantenkindern im Bildungswesen." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Industrial societies were predominantly male societies which blocked women from access to privileged positions. Present-day post-industrial service economies increasingly become female societies in which gender-specific inequalities lose salience, having undergone more profound changes since the 1960s than in the hundred previous years. Contemporary policy discourses do not yet adequately reflect this silent revolution and should focus more on two central challenges to social integration, i.e. class-related inequalities and the integration of immigrant children into our systems of higher learning."
