Inhalt: In dieser Evaluierung wird untersucht, inwieweit die Prozesse der deutschen bilateralen staatlichen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit geeignet sind, die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter in Post-Konflikt-Kontexten zu fördern. Hierzu wurden unter anderem Fallstudien in Kolumbien, Liberia, Pakistan und Sri Lanka durchgeführt. Die Evaluierung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Verfahren zum Gender-Mainstreaming grundsätzlich geeignet sind, die Förderung der Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter in Post-Konflikt-Kontexten zu verankern. Allerdings werden die Verfahren und die Analysetools in der Praxis selten so genutzt, dass der Gender-Konflikt-Nexus konsequent in den Vorhaben adressiert wird. Somit gehen Potenziale verloren, Wirkungen hinsichtlich der Geschlechtergleichstellung zu entfalten. Die Evaluierung entwickelt daher konkrete Empfehlungen, wie die Steuerung durch das BMZ sowie die Umsetzung durch die staatlichen Durchführungsorganisationen verbessert, die Strukturen und Prozesse der staatlichen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit weiterentwickelt sowie das notwendige Wissen und die relevanten Kompetenzen gestärkt werden können.

Inhalt: We examine the challenges faced by women for effective communication on social media. The majority of the data used in this study was primary, and it was gathered in the field using a questionnaire. The questionnaire utilized in this study was a written list of questions that had been carefully designed and selected to collect data. The questions were closed-ended and focused on women's issues and their use of social media. Cronbach alpha was used to test the dataset's validity, consistency, and reliability based on the obtained information. Cronbach's Alpha for all constructs or items was more significant than the minimum acceptable reliability coefficient of 0.5 to 0.9, indicating strong internal consistency.Furthermore, Cronbach's Alpha for all constructs was more than the minimal permissible reliability coefficient, indicating that they were valid and trustworthy and hence suitable for use. We notice that most respondents in this study reported that they had experienced social media harassment. Our findings show, in particular, that the majority of respondents in this study believe that women are usually overlooked when it comes to matters requiring social media opinions. We opined that information, education, and communication are empowering tools from the preceding. It is the challenge of women in leadership to dismantle the obstacles in the women's use of information media. No form of women empowerment will succeed until these challenges are met.

Inhalt: Objective: The study investigates how partner support affects different types of work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts in dual-earner couples divided by gender and parenthood. Background: In Germany, as in other Western Countries, interrole conflicts between work and family increase, especially within dual-earner couples. Only few studies focused on the effects of partner support on different types of these conflicts. Method: We use longitudinal data deriving from waves 6 to 10 of the German Family Panel (pairfam) to uncover the extent to which the perception of having a supportive partner reduces time- and strain-based work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts. We conduct longitudinal structural equation models based on information of 1,252 persons, which are full-time employed and live in a dual-earner relationship. Results: Whereas for men partner support helps reduce stress-based work-to-family conflicts, for women perceived partner support is not beneficial. Within a subsample of parents, the experience of work-to-family conflicts is likely irrespective of partner support. Overall, women’s family-to-work conflicts appear to be reduced by their partners’ support whereas for men this detrimental effect only applies in the case of stress-based family-to-work conflicts. Conclusion: To sum up the findings, the differences for men and women in the effect of partner support on different types of interrole conflicts indicate a still existing impact of traditional gender norms that connect femininity to house work and masculinity to employed work.

Affective Politics of Care during COVID-19: Feminist Views of Political Discourses and Intersectional Inequalities in Mali

Inhalt: Contrary to many African states’ restrictive COVID-19 measures in the first half of 2020, which had severe socio-economic and political effects, the Malian government appeared more moderate in its fight against the pandemic and even introduced social measures to alleviate the effects of COVID-19 (measures). However, increasing anti-government protests still culminated in a military coup in August 2020. In order to shed light on government commu-
nication during that time as one factor in this paradox, this article focuses on the politics of care constructed by the Malian political elite between March and August 2020. The article uses an affective-discursive approach to analyse government communications and contrasts them with a feminist view of associations, NGOs, and activists. It shows that postcolonial, capitalist, and gendered path dependencies have decreased opportunities for care from the
Malian state and increased the intersectional vulnerabilities of Malians to COVID-19 measures. In addition, the article demonstrates how the affective politics of domestic and international care that were maintained through the presidential discourse used securitisation and solidarity to construct subject positions that, however, incorporate rather than challenge the aforementioned inequalities.

Inhalt: Strategien zur Bewältigung der COVID-19-Pandemie haben Beschäftigte, darunter insbesondere Frauen und prekär Beschäftigte, in höchst ungleichem Ausmaß getroffen. Dieser Beitrag konstatiert eine Zuspitzung prekärer Arbeits- und Lebensverhältnisse infolge der Corona-Krise. Die Rezeption der Forschungsliteratur zu dem Thema dient der Kontextualisierung empirischer Befunde, die mittels Online-Umfrage der Arbeiterkammer Wien im Sommer 2020 erhoben wurden. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse sind: Von der Polarisierung der Erwerbsbevölkerung waren Frauen besonders betroffen. Die Doppel- und Mehrfachbelastungen prekärer Frauenarbeit hat sich verstärkt. Einer Retraditionalisierung von Geschlechterverhältnissen muss mit gezielten politischen Maßnahmen entgegengewirkt werden.

Educational attainment and gender differences in work-life balance for couples across Europe: a contextual perspective

Inhalt: The current article aims to explain the interrelationships between the educational attainment of individuals living in households with heterosexual partners, their work–life balance (WLB) and the macro-economic climate of the country they live in, using data from the European Social Survey. WLB is a complex concept, as it is not only determined by factors related to someone’s employment or domestic work and childcare responsibilities, but also by decisions informed by personal experiences and circumstances, subjective perceptions and preferences. Moreover, in households with cohabiting partners, this decision-making process involves certain compromises where financial incentives, interests, gender and power dynamics play an important role. Since educational attainment is positively related to labour market outcomes, such as employment and wages, while at the same time more women are participating in education and the labour market, the gender conflict on the division of work and time within households intensifies and traditional gender roles are challenged. WLB is at the heart of this conflict operating as a mechanism through which division of work and time is reconciled on the individual and household level. Results from the current article reveal great heterogeneity between the 17 European countries examined. Perhaps surprisingly, educational attainment can have a detrimental effect on the WLB of spouses and cohabiting partners, especially for women whose level of WLB seems also more sensitive to fluctuations of the macro-economic climate of the country they live in. However, there is an indication that when an economy goes into recession, higher education has a cushioning effect on female’s WLB compared to relatively better economic times.
