Inhalt: The recent refugee crisis in Europe has become a prominent human security issues that continues to receive international attention. The main debate has been on the accommodation of refugees in European countries and the issues that arise from the sudden influx of people into those countries. Camps were established with limited time and information to prepare, leading to issues within these temporary living arrangements. Conditions are worse for women refugees, who suffer similarly to the men but have higher rates of insecurity. This paper attempts to argue for greater protection for women refugees. To do so, it will describe women refugees’ conditions and needs and relate them to an enforced moral responsibility. It argues for more attention to be given to women refugees with specific conditions, those who have been marginalized in most refugee policies. The main argument is that better protection for and empowerment of women refugees is urgently needed due to their own conditions and needs alongside the moral obligations to take care of children and the elderly. To do so, policies have to consult the specific needs of women. An important step towards this effort is to develop further and more detailed classification of women and their specific needs: women refugees’ needs are not merely determined by their own conditions but also the conditions of those they are responsible for.

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: Objectives: To know the contribution that groups of pregnant women have upon building knowledge about the process of parturition. Methods: A descriptive-exploratory study, with ten women who participated of groups of pregnant women. The semi-structured interviews were recorded and transcribed. The analysis was based upon thematic analysis, after approval by the Research Ethics Committee-CAAE 20722913.7.DO00.5317. Results: From the analysis of the transcripts emerged the themes: Labor and delivery from the perspective of women who participated in the groups of pregnant women; and Childbirth Humanization and Birth: Knowledge vs. Experience. Conclusion: The group of pregnant women allows women to prepare for the delivery process, as an information and exchange experiences with other participants and health professionals provide input for their choices, and thus, knowledge is built on a reciprocal basis, in a trusting and learning environment.

Inhalt: Objective: To identify the prevalence and the profile of pregnant women victims of physical violence. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional study, conducted with 105 pregnant women followed in four Family Health Units at the city of Jequié, Bahia. The data were collected through questionnaires from the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS); Tolerance, Annoyed, Cut down and eye opener (T-ACE) and sociodemographic. Results: The prevalence of pregnant women who suffered physical violence was 2,9%. These were 21-26 years of age, race/ skin color black (black and brown) and suffered aggression on the head predominantly by the partner who used alcohol. Conclusion: The prevalence of pregnant women victims of violence was not high, but it is an issue that causes many negative impacts on the woman's and baby's health. Thus from the profile of the women surveyed, it is recommended that specific actions could be carried out in order to at least minimize the occurrence of this problem.

Inhalt: Objective: To know women’s health behavior and their reason to seek for care in an emergency service.
Methods: Descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study done with 18 women who were attended in a
municipal emergency unit in the northwest of Paraná. These data were collected in November of 2015 with
a semi-structured interview and subjected to content analysis, in thematic modality. Results: Two empirical
categories were identified: “Women behaviors before health complications” shows that the initial conduct of
women in situations of illness is self-medication and postponement to seek health services; and “reasons to seek
emergency care service”, which shows that the demand for this level of service is driven by the perception of
better resolution, effectiveness and agility, as well as proximity to home. Conclusion: It is common for women
to delay seeking treatment because of gender-related responsibilities, and when they do it, they prefer to choose
more resolute services.

Beeinflussen berufstypische Arbeitszeitmerkmale die Unterbrechungsdauer von Frauen? Eine längsschnittliche Analyse der Bedeutung beruflicher Merkmale für die Berufsrückkehr von Müttern in Deutschland

Inhalt: "Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob berufstypische Arbeitszeitmerkmale die Erwerbsunterbrechungsdauer von Frauen nach der Familiengründung beeinflussen und welche Bedeutung berufstypische Arbeitszeitmerkmale für Frauen mit unterschiedlichem Bildungsniveau haben. Dazu wurden die Längsschnittdaten der Erwachsenenkohorte des Nationalen Bildungspanels über ein Daten-Linkage mit aggregierten Berufsdaten aus dem Mikrozensus angereichert. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Analysen zeigen, dass sich berufstypische Arbeitszeiten neben Individualmerkmalen signifikant auf die Berufsrückkehr von Müttern auswirken. Für hochqualifizierte Frauen erwiesen sich lediglich die für einen Beruf typischen Überstunden als einflussreich. Dieses Ergebnis deutet darauf hin, dass die Rückkehr von Akademikerinnen aufgrund von höheren Opportunitätskosten und womöglich auch einer höhere Erwerbsneigung durch die arbeitszeitlichen Gegebenheiten im Austrittberuf kaum tangiert ist. Für mittel- und insbesondere geringqualifizierte Frauen sind jedoch andere Faktoren, nämlich die Arbeitszeitlänge, die Verbreitung von Heimarbeit und - für beruflich nicht qualifizierte Frauen - auch die Verbreitung von Nacht- und Wochenendarbeit relevant. Insgesamt legen unsere Ergebnisse nahe, dass berufstypische Arbeitszeiten insbesondere für die Unterbrechungsdauer von geringgebildeten Müttern eine bedeutende Rolle spielen." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article analyses how occupation-specific hours of employment influence the employment interruptions of women after family formation, and whether employment hours have an impact on different educational groups. This study uses detailed longitudinal data from the German National Educational Panel Study and aggregated occupational data from the Microcensus. Our results show how occupation-specific employment hours, even after controlling for individual characteristics, significantly influence the employment interruptions of mothers. The interruption duration of women with tertiary education is solely influenced by the amount of overtime working hours associated with specific occupations. This result indicates that the return-to-work of tertiary educated women remain mostly unaffected by their hours of employment, and likely to be attributed to both elevated opportunity costs and higher career orientations. Whilst medium and less educated women reduce their time-out from their occupation when the working hours are short and working from home is possible. Atypical employment hours, such as night-shift or weekend work, are found to be exclusively relevant for less educated women. Overall, our results demonstrate that hours of employment play an important role for the employment continuity of women without a tertiary education." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Der Beitrag kritisiert die Art und Weise, in der die gegenwärtige, westliche Ontologie des Designs konstruiert ist, und lotet dabei aus, wie diese das Verständnis von weiblicher Kreativität formt und auf diese Weise das Leben von Frauen beeinflusst. Ausgehend von der persönlichen Erfahrung, Designstudentinnen auszubilden, zielt der Beitrag darauf, die vielfältigen Formen eines seinem Wesen nach unsichtbaren patriarchalen und zugleich kapitalistischen Wertesystems aufzudecken und aufzuzeigen, wie dieses uns - mithilfe von für die Designpraxis essentiellen Prozessen der Verkörperung - als Designer*innen prägt. Zugleich zielt der Beitrag auf eine 'De-Designation' (de-design) unserer Ontologie als Designerinnen mithilfe feministischer Epistemologien und Praxen, die Fragen des durch Design initiierten Wandels in einem Stadium der kritischen Plastizität enthalten, nicht zuletzt durch die Bezugnahme auf soziopolitische, sozioökonomische und ökologische Ethiken, in denen das Problem ver-geschlechtlichter Ausschlüsse zentral verhandelt wird." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article critiques the way in which contemporary western design ontology is constructed, why this affects conceptions of female creative practice and how this impacts on women’s lives. Starting with a personal account of educating female designers, the article aims to unpack the different ways in which ontologically invisible patriarchal and capitalist value systems act on us as designers, aided by processes of embodiment which are essential to design practice. It calls for the 'dedesigning' of our ontology as designers through feminist epistemologies and practices which keep questions about transformations, futured by design, in a state of critical plasticity by attending to sociopolitical, socio-economical and ecological ethics whilst keeping issues of gender exclusion at its core."

Inhalt: Objective: To understand the factors that influence the process of choosing the type of delivery, from the perception of mothers. Methods: This is a qualitative and descriptive research, held at the Women's Hospital Midwife Maria Correia, Mossoró/RN. A total of 14 mothers were interviewed. Data were analyzed according to the Collective Subject Discourse technique. The study was submitted to the Ethics Committee in Research of Universidade Potiguar approved under the number CAAE: 38520214.0.0000.5296. Results: Women's desire a birth delivery without complications and fast recovery. The influences of the "fear of pain" and individual experiences and other women for choosing the type of delivery are significant. Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of access to prenatal quality actions that provide safe choices, clarifying doubts and future mother's wishes, reassuringly for delivery.
