The profiles provide demographic data and trends per Arab country for the period 1980-2050, and could serve as a reference for researchers conducting demographic research as well as social research with a population dimension. The key demographic indicators presented in the profiles include population size, including urban and rural populations, population growth rate, life expectancy at birth, infant mortality rate, under-five mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio, contraceptive prevalence, fertility rate, dependency ratios and population age structure. This is in addition to data on the international migrant stock, remittances, refugee population, internally displaced persons and education and youth unemployment.

Reparations programs seeking to provide for victims of gross and systematic human rights violations are becoming an increasingly frequent feature of transitional and post-conflict processes. Given that women represent a very large proportion of the victims of these conflicts and the authoritarianism generating them, and that women arguably experience conflicts in a distinct manner, it makes sense to examine whether reparations programs can be designed to redress women more fairly and efficiently and seek to subvert gender hierarchies that often antecede the conflict.

This is an adolescent friendly booklet about the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995). It includes a summary of what is included in the Declaration and what this means for the Arab Region. Chapter IV of the Declaration talks about the girl child and this booklet provides an overview of what promises are made there and the progress towards these promises in the Arab Region in 2019 - 25 years since the Declaration was signed.

Feminist theory and research on the sociology of human reproduction have historically been bound together as each has developed. Yet recently sociologists of reproduction and 'women's health' have lost sight of core debates in feminist theory. They still tend to work with the assumption that feminism is an internally coherent body of thought, despite the emergence of significant intemal divisions since the mid-1980s. In this paper we evaluate the challenge that feminist poststructuralism poses to prior conceptualisations of gender in the context of reproductive health through a critique of sociological work in this area from the 1970s and 1980s. We conclude with a critical exploration of the new insights that might emerge from a post-structuralist 'deconstruction' of gender in the context of human reproduction.

This document presents Gender Studies Institute, Kabul University with Cooperation of UNDP and UNESCO. The report highlights the presence of gender-based violence (GBV) in three of Afghanistan’s educational institutes (Universities of Kabul, Balkh and Herat), giving a succinct overview of the prevalence of GBV as well as recommendations to reduce and prevent its occurrence. Gender based violence, and in particular sexual violence, is a serious, life-threatening protection issue, primarily affecting women and children. Like in many other countries worldwide, gender-based violence is prevalent in Afghanistan, and often stems from power inequalities and symmetries in society
