This book offers a comprehensive view of global gender dynamics. The volume constructs gender as a nuanced reality that exists at every level of social interaction and creates social and institutional hierarchies. It explores the deep-seated prejudices, and stereotypes that shape gendered discourse. It brings together experiences and narratives from different domains and countries to comprehend broader social, economic, ritual and political forces that contribute to the perseverance of dated normative constructs and consequent gender marginalization. It explores how gendered gaze runs through literature, arts, corporates, governments, organizational management, gender pay gap, health care and health management, environment and climate change and ritual spaces. It scrutinizes eroding legitimacy of traditional women friendly institutions like matriliny and declining relevance of open prisons for women. The book also elucidates marginalization of women in mental health institutions and old age homes. It brings together diverse perspectives and experiences to map the global challenges and explore interventions like gender budgeting and policy changes. It examines intervention strategies undertaken by local voluntary organizations to mainstream third gender and marginalized sections of women. Contributors to the volume are eminent academics, administrators and activists from South Africa, Australia and India with decades of experience and contributions to gender issues. Foreword to the volume is written by eminent Gender Expert Prof. Carol Kulik, Bradely distinguished professor, University of South Australia.
