ABSTRACT Facebook has recently gained popularity among young, digitally literate and predominantly urban Pakistanis. Such social networking sites allow users the freedom to express themselves using usernames, visuals and topics of their own choice. In this article, I examine how Pakistani Facebook users mobilize such resources in their identity work. Using Multimodal Discourse Analysis, I investigate how Pakistani women construct their gender identities on Facebook using visual and linguistic resources. The results revealed the significant impact of Facebook on the socio-cultural and linguistic norms of discourse in Pakistan that enables women to challenge established communication models while they simultaneously reinforce traditional gender models.

ABSTRACT Vietnamese immigrant women in Taiwan often encounter difficulties in being “good mothers,” compared to their local counterparts. Their mothering is stigmatized and they are represented as “alien wombs” or are said to be “unfit” for reproductive roles. This has negative impact on the next generation of children of mixed ethnicity. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 16 Vietnamese immigrant women married to Taiwanese men, we used a feminist perspective on mothering to explore intimacy as experienced within unhappy marital lives. We found that to become “good mothers” in the eyes of the society they now live in, such women try to build harmonious familial relationships with family members. They do this by attempting to change people’s negative ideas and images regarding them and doing whatever they can for their families and society. We conclude that these women use intimacy with their children as a strategy for being respected as mothers in Taiwan, the country in which they now live.

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the discourse of girlhood in Indonesia in the narratives of unmarried pregnant girls, based on ethnographic research in Yogyakarta. Given cultural taboos regarding these girls such instances are kept hidden. I seek to explain problems regarding teenage pregnancy here, with a focus on the experiences of pregnant girls to reveal how gender norms operate against them with respect to romantic relationships, dropping out of school, early marriage, and sexual violence. Further, this paper sees the paradox of gender and sexuality in post-reformation Indonesia. Although the discussion on teenage pregnancy and girlhood has become part of public discourse, there is a need for an alternative gender sensitive approach.

ABSTRACT Using the Harvard Analytical Framework (HAF), we analyze the role of farmers (male and female) in the Special Purpose Forest Area of Parungpanjang, Indonesia. Primary data for this study were collected through interviews and focus group discussions with male and female farmers at the research site in September 2019. This shows that female farmers participate in all dimensions of productive, reproductive, and socio-political activities, including aspects of control, while male farmers tend to limit their participation only to productive and socio-political activities. It confirms the findings of earlier research that there is no significant gender difference between the roles of female and male farmers in terms of natural resource management and control in Southeast Asia. However, one problem remains: the Special Purpose Forest Area of Parungpanjang has not given official registration rights to female farmers. By presenting their voices, we suggest the need for the strengthening of gender-responsive policies such as granting registration rights to female farmers to access and use land and conduct gender awareness programs among male farmers.

ABSTRACT The ‘sandwich generation’ is a unique familial position and refers to persons who are expected to care simultaneously for children and older adults in extended families. The non-availability of information about women of this cohort in leading government sources of data and their invisibility in the care work discourse led me to investigate their condition. Data for three census years—1990, 2000, 2010—in the National Capital Region of the Philippines were processed using Stata, a statistical software, to analyze patterns in the numbers and demographic characteristics of these women. The number of such women has grown steadily in 20 years. Female household heads in the sandwich generation are typically middle aged, without partners or spouses, college graduates and homeowners. Female family members in the sandwich generation are typically 30–35 years old, legally married, college graduates, and living in their own homes. By categorizing sex into male and female and not recognizing gender identity and sexual orientation, censuses are largely gender blind. Expanding this research to the entire Philippines and other low-income countries, including LGBTQI persons, and recognizing their unpaid care work may open channels for inclusive global recognition of the sandwich generation and lead to their emancipation and equality.

ABSTRACT Breasts are a symbol of femininity, sexuality and maternity and therefore play a role in the way breast cancer is perceived by society. Goffman in 1963 sees stigma such as arising out of disease, by noting that people with socially undesirable characteristics have “spoiled identity” that leads to social discrimination and devaluation. This qualitative feminist ethnographic study explores understanding of breast cancer in a patriarchal setup and the stigma arising out of it. Here I use the six dimensions of stigma as a theoretical framework, as defined by Jones, Scott and Markus. After approval of an ethics committee, 37 research participants (22 patients who had undergone mastectomy and 15 caregivers) were included in the study sample. The data collected via in-depth interviews/focus group discussions was examined thematically. The emerging themes included concepts of shame, self-disclosure of serious illness, loss of breast/s, maternal symbol, beauty, femininity, adjusting to a “new identity,” alopecia and the overburdened caregiver. It is seen that breast cancer poses a threat to femininity as it leads to a distortion of beauty ideals and disrupts the domestic roles of women as housewives and mothers which stigmatizes them and they have to make multiple efforts to restore themselves physically and mentally.

ABSTRACT This study draws on qualitative data about gendered vulnerabilities and resilience in situations of urban flooding in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, India. Women in informal urban spaces comprise marginalized groups who face greater risks in times of disaster owing to their inferior socioeconomic status and the hazardous geographical space they occupy. This study provides insights into the lived experiences of women in such spaces that are shaped by unequal gender relations and flooding. Women's narratives are analyzed and presented as part of my research findings. Unequal gender relations, combined with socioeconomic disadvantage, are important factors for their vulnerability and limited resilience. The perspectives of urban disadvantaged women, which have been long ignored, need to be actively integrated into disaster risk reduction planning. The implications of a gendered approach to disaster risk reduction by prioritizing the empowerment of urban disadvantaged women is discussed and suggested.

ABSTRACT Sonyeosang (“comfort women” memorials) have become symbols of the memory war between Korea and Japan. Amidst heated nationalistic competition, the main battleground of this memory war is the U.S. This study observes how Kim Hak-sun, a victim of military sexual slavery by Japan, decided to speak out after meeting an atomic bomb victim in 1991. Focusing on this meeting, I argue that the amnesia in East Asia regarding comfort women should be seen as a result of a systematic plan to build Pax Americana. Rather than complacently celebrating the Sonyeosang installation movement, which is now taking place actively across the world as a form of transnational memory activism, we should continue to call for a radical and active critique of the huge paradox of the East Asian peace regime that led to amnesia.

ABSTRACT In China, the definition of domestic violence is usually limited to direct physical and mental harm to family members. About a quarter of Chinese families have been reportedly affected by domestic violence to different degrees, with most victims being women who have lacked effective legal protection for a long time. In response, Chinese feminists advocated the implementation of the Anti-domestic Violence Law (ADVL). Through judicial reforms, the Supreme Court of China has urged local courts at all levels to establish Family Law Divisions so that they can implement the provisions of ADVL better. However, due to compromises made before it was finalized and the restrictions of the Chinese legal system, its effectiveness is still limited, making it difficult for Chinese female victims of domestic violence to obtain sufficient support from the courts. The process Chinese feminists have undertaken to put forward their ideas regarding this Law has only just begun.
