Inhalt: Honours and awards bestowed by professional societies recognize and reward members who have advanced the goals and values of that society. All too often, however, awards reflect a small network of people who know about the awards and participate in the process. This network works wonderfully for the people lucky enough to be in it, but typically neglects the full range and breadth of scholarship and service within the society. We represent a combined 15+ years' experience on the honours' committee for a large professional society (the American Geophysical Union) and here offer strategies to increase the representation of honourees. Women represented less than 20 % of awardees when we first became committee members in 2008; women represented 50 % of awardees in 2019. There is still much to do to ensure that members from other typically under-represented groups (non-US members, members from under-represented races/ethnicities) are truly represented and honoured for outstanding science and service. We recommend forming canvassing committees that will scour the literature, conferences, and membership lists for appropriate and otherwise overlooked nominees; providing implicit bias training to selection committees; and ensuring selection committees focus on the criteria for the award rather than non-pertinent, often personal, information, as well as additional strategies that allow us to recognize our worthy colleagues.
Status ranking and gender inequality : A cross-country experimental comparison

Inhalt: This article examines the (differential) effects of status ranking on men’s and women’s performance. It first recognizes that status ranking might be implicit or explicit. Then, it theoretically studies and predicts the gender effects of both types of status ranking and how these effects might vary with culture. Finally, an empirical analysis is presented based on conducting the same experimental design in three culturally different countries, i.e., Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. The experimental results provide evidence that both the type of status ranking and culture matter. When status ranking is explicit, strong gender differences in performance are observed. In more masculine and competitive environments like the Italian and the Spanish, women perform significantly worse than men. Importantly however, cultural beliefs about gender are not sufficient to drive gender differences when these beliefs are the basis for implicitly inferred status ranking among men and women. It appears that more is needed for gender inequality to kick in than an implicit inference from status characteristics.
Inhalt: Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) poses severe threats to women's health and rights. This study investigates the role of country context and gender equality in shaping individual perceptions of the severity of IPVAW. Multilevel logistic regression analyses of a Eurobarometer survey on attitudes toward IPVAW from 27 EU states showed that male gender, young age, low education, low self-assessed social position and particularly perceiving IPVAW as uncommon were associated with perceiving IPVAW as less severe. The likelihood of perceiving IPVAW as less severe was higher in countries with low gender equality. Between-country variance accounted for 14% of the variability, while country-level gender equality accounted for 22% of the between-country variance. We conclude that efforts toward strengthening perceptions of IPVAW as a severe issue should focus on awareness-raising and on increasing country-level gender equality.

Inhalt: Sex, gender and sexual orientation are diverse, as are the ways of living associated with them. The extent to which people can live a free and self-determined life according to their own body, gender, sexuality and way of life influences their social resources, opportunities for participation and discrimination and has an influence on their life situation and health. A narrative review of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) health was conducted including international and German reviews, meta-analyses and population-based studies. The focus of this article is the legal, social and medical recognition as well as health status of LGBTI people in Germany. While the legal framework in Germany for homosexual and bisexual people has gradually improved, many civil society stakeholders have pointed to major deficits in the medical and legal recognition of transgender and intersex people. In addition, scientific findings frequently have not yet found its way into medical practice to an adequate extent. Available data on LGBTI health indicate a need for action in the areas of mental health and health care provision. However, due to a lack of comprehensive data, conclusions cannot be drawn on the general health situation and health resources of LGBTI people. For the concrete planning and implementation of measures as well as the differentiated portrayal of the situation in Germany, the databases must be expanded, not least via population-representative surveys.

Inhalt: Ausgehend von den vielfältigen Debatten um Quoten und weitere Gleichstellungsmaßnahmen zur Erhöhung des Anteils unterrepräsentierter Gruppen in den Parlamenten untersucht der Beitrag die Einstellungen der Bürger*innen in Deutschland zu diesen Maßnahmen für Frauen und Personen mit Migrationshintergrund. Insgesamt befürwortet nur eine Minderheit Quoten, wobei insbesondere gesetzliche Quoten und Maßnahmen für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund nur eine sehr geringe Unterstützung erfahren. Frauen und Anhänger*innen linker Parteien unterstützen signifikant häufiger positive Maßnahmen. Die Verbesserung der deskriptiven Repräsentation im Parlament wird von den Befragten als wichtigster Grund für die Unterstützung von Maßnahmen genannt.
