      <title>Women theologizing: the Kenyan case</title>
      <link>https://thesis.eur.nl/pub/55194/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 1987 00:00:01 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Mwau, A.&lt;/div&gt;
The preaching and theologizing of ideas of justice, equality, freedom&#13;
and grace in the Catholic Institutional Church has been caught up in&#13;
systematic behavioural patterns, which have developed around the&#13;
concept of women being subordinate. This is clearly seen in the&#13;
church's ideology on women and the apparatus used to perpetuate this&#13;
ideology.&#13;
This research paper will try to analyse the root of women's subordinate&#13;
position in the church and how the Bible has been translated&#13;
to suit the patriarchal, hierarchal and rigid state of the Catholic&#13;
Institutional Church.&#13;
Yomen in the church are acknowledged as the backbone and are central&#13;
to the upkeep of the church in Africa. But they are always behind&#13;
the scenes or left out. Yomen theologizing is a move of women in the&#13;
church working to reject all patriarchal crusts, that have denied&#13;
women's full participation in the church. Y.I.N.D.O.Y. (Yomen in&#13;
National Development of Yomen) a training programme for women leaders&#13;
in Kenya, is one example of women trying to theologize.&#13;
This paper focusses on the question: to what extent has Y.I.N.D.O.Y.&#13;
empowered women to look critically at their situation and take critical&#13;
actions?</description>

A category that will be very useful for this analysis is "Andean&#13;
world" which delineates the geographical and historical amplitude characteristic of the sociocultural universe I want to comprise. 'The Andean' is defined as a distinctive cosmovision structured by some elements with a long historical stay; these elements are characteristic of populations that existed and still exist in the geographic area around the central part of the Andean Mountains.</description>

That there should be a balance between the needs of nature conservation and the needs of people is now widely recognised and accepted by conservationists. This gradual recognition has come about as a result of increased and persistent amount of pressure of people on protected natural resources •. The&#13;
positive result of this process has been a recognition among nature conservationists that the success of protecting reserves/park areas depends ultimately on the support of the people that are directly affected by them (Kamstra, 1994). As such in Uganda strategies have been laid by both&#13;
government and international environmental conservation organisations to ensure that the iocal people not only participate in managing the protection of these rese·rves but also share the benefits accruing from there.</description>

It was only over the last two decades, that is with the declaration&#13;
of the United Nations International decade for women in 1975, with its official themes of equality, development, and peace that women emerge as a distinct category in the development discourse and women's issues were brought to the forefront of government, academic, and activist concerns. The extent and value of women' 5 contribution in development began to be gradually recognized and various efforts were made to integrate women into mainstream development coined as Women in Development (WID). In the developing countries" especially those dependent on foreign aid for their development&#13;
efforts the initiative to bring women in development was basically donor driven and the pressure from the United Nations, which were influenced by the international women's movement.</description>

      <title>Locating power in polyandry: sexuality and property regimes in gender relations in the Nepal Tibet frontier households</title>

Polyandry is a fonll of marriage in which a single woman shares multiple men as husbands at a time. In fraternal polyandry, all the brothers in one generation share a common wife. I The practice of polyandry has been reported in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Tibet. Exceptionally, it has also been reported in the Amazon forest of northwest Brazil (Peters and Hunt, 1975). The existing literature on polyandry typically highlights mainly three reasons that account its practice: culture, demography and resources. The first argument claims that polyandry responds to the prolonged absence of males in the&#13;
family - a phenomenon observed commonly in all polyandrous societies (Gough, 1959; Prince Peter, 1955). So polyandry is perceived as a security measure for the rest of the&#13;
family members because it keeps many males within a family so that one could stay at&#13;
home (Berreman, 1962; Kapadia, 1955). Others argue that polyandry is partly a way of getting rid of the pressure of a "heavy bride price" by avoiding many marriages (Majumdar, 1955). Polyandry is also interpreted as a practice that saves households from risks of friction and fission (Leach, 1955), since more marriage means diverse economic interests within a family, which might pose threats to the unity of the household.</description>

The strategy of the Government of Kenya and the Danish development policy emphasizes the strengthening of the role of women in the development process, making equal participation of women an integral part of development assistance in an&#13;
effort to promote social, humanitarian and democratic ideals. This growing realization of the impact of gender in the development process has infonned the project documents of Government of Kenya, Danida funded projects in the fonn of broad policy statements.</description>

Since the 1970's a global restructuring of capitalist production and investment has taken place and this can be seen to have wide-scale gender impact in migration trends. According to 1996&#13;
ILO Report there is a feminization of international labor migration, which is one of the most striking economic and social phenomena of recent times. Through migration , many women&#13;
seek other opportunities to break away from their oppressive local conditions. &#13;
Within this migratory movement, many migrant women become involved -with or without consent -in the traffic in persons. This is a global phenomenon 1 that should be understood as a broad and international problem which covers diverse forms of exploitation, commerce and human rights violations, within a range of sectors where migrant women work in asprostitution, domestic service, entertainment, marriage and informal work.</description>
