Back in 2008, David Fidler coined the term ‘the gender paradox’, which he described in the following terms: ‘We perceive that problems concerning women’s health . . . are growing at the same time that gender-informed analysis of global health issues has become more pervasive’ (Fidler, 2008: 148). He goes on to describe an inverted triangle within global health where there are numerous standards related to women’s health, but little incorporation of these into organizational practices or national implementation, and even less evidence of improved health outcomes for women. The response to COVID-19 has taken the gender paradox to a new level. We see unprecedent attention to the gendered effects of pandemics, in terms of not only health effects, but also the disproportionate social and economic impacts on women, yet little progress in rectifying these inequities (Harman, 2021). In this brief comment, I share two examples of how the gender paradox plays out in policy spaces – both global (the World Health Organization (WHO)) and national (Canada) – and then reflect on what can be learned in order to overcome barriers to transformative change. The WHO is mandated by the International Health Regulations to lead and coordinate responses to Public Health Emergencies of International Concern. While not an implementing organization, WHO provides technical guidance and holds normative power in its ability to set standards and champion agendas within global health; as such, its leadership in promoting gender-sensitive health responses is paramount (Wenham and Davies, 2021). The WHO has demonstrated some follow through on its commitments to mainstream gender (adopted in its Gender Strategy in 2008 and continued in the 13th General Programme of Work 2019–2023) in its COVID-19 response. In May 2020, it released a Gender and COVID advocacy brief and issued guidance on monitoring the unintended consequences of public health lockdowns, including gender-based violence and access to sexual and reproductive healthcare (WHO, 2020). Partially in response to pressure from organizations like Women in Global Health, as well as feminist advocates within and outside the organization, WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus met with civil society organizations, in September 2020, and
早在2008年,大卫·菲德勒(David Fidler)就创造了“性别悖论”一词,他用以下术语来描述:“我们认为,与女性健康有关的问题……与此同时,对全球健康问题进行的性别分析也越来越普遍" (Fidler, 2008: 148)。他接着描述了全球卫生中的一个倒三角,其中有许多与妇女健康有关的标准,但很少将这些标准纳入组织实践或国家实施,妇女健康结果得到改善的证据更少。COVID-19的应对措施将性别悖论推向了一个新的高度。我们看到,不仅在健康影响方面,而且在对妇女的不成比例的社会和经济影响方面,流行病对性别的影响受到前所未有的关注,但在纠正这些不平等方面进展甚微(Harman, 2021年)。在这篇简短的评论中,我将分享两个例子,说明性别悖论如何在政策空间中发挥作用——全球(世界卫生组织(世卫组织))和国家(加拿大)——然后反思可以学到什么,以克服变革的障碍。根据《国际卫生条例》,世卫组织负责领导和协调应对国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。世卫组织虽然不是一个实施组织,但它提供技术指导,并在全球卫生领域制定标准和倡导议程方面拥有规范性权力;因此,其在促进对性别问题敏感的卫生对策方面的领导作用至关重要(Wenham和Davies, 2021年)。世卫组织在应对2019冠状病毒病方面,已在一定程度上兑现了其对主流性别问题的承诺(2008年《性别战略》通过,并在《2019-2023年第十三个工作总规划》中得到延续)。2020年5月,世卫组织发布了一份性别与COVID宣传简报,并发布了关于监测公共卫生封锁的意外后果的指南,包括基于性别的暴力以及获得性保健和生殖保健的机会(世卫组织,2020年)。部分是为了应对来自妇女参与全球卫生等组织以及本组织内外女权主义倡导者的压力,世卫组织总干事谭德塞博士于2020年9月会见了民间社会组织

A gendered UBI proposal for the new Chilean constitution (or why being a surfer is not the same as being a caregiver) 智利新宪法的全民基本收入性别提案(或者为什么冲浪者和看护者不一样)

Chile has become the first country in the world where an equal number of men and women will draft the new Constitution due a parity law that was passed in March 2020. In addition, this historic opportunity will take place during one of the worst health pandemics in recorded history, COVID-19, which has revealed deep gender inequalities. The new Chilean Constitution, drafted with gender parity, will have a unique opportunity to grant a right to a universal basic income (UBI), which has been targeted to address some of the worst consequences of the pandemic: the increase in poverty, unemployment, and vulnerability of women. This article reviews the theories developed to justify a UBI and the feminist critics who argue that not all UBI is equally advantageous to women. The misconception that a ‘morally neutral’ model is sufficient and women-friendly disregards the way in which it encourages stereotypes that feminists have fought for centuries. We argue for the development of public policies with a gender focus, especially the right to a ‘gendered UBI’. This means a UBI that meets two basic requirements: first, that every citizen or resident be guaranteed the same amount of income from birth; second, that caregivers be provided with management rights to turn the UBI into a compensatory income that can also promote changes in gender roles, encouraging men to become caregivers.
由于2020年3月通过了一项平等法,智利成为世界上第一个男女人数相等的国家起草新宪法。此外,这一历史性机遇将发生在有记录以来最严重的卫生大流行之一COVID-19期间,它揭示了严重的性别不平等。在性别平等的基础上起草的智利新宪法将有一个独特的机会授予全民基本收入的权利,其目标是解决这一流行病的一些最严重后果:贫困、失业和妇女脆弱性的增加。本文回顾了为证明全民基本收入的合理性而发展的理论,以及女权主义批评者,他们认为并非所有的全民基本收入都对女性同样有利。“道德中立”的模式就足够了,而且对女性友好,这种误解忽视了女权主义者几个世纪以来一直反对的刻板印象。我们主张制定以性别为重点的公共政策,特别是“性别化的全民基本收入”的权利。这意味着全民基本收入要满足两个基本要求:第一,保证每个公民或居民从出生起就获得相同的收入;第二,为照顾者提供管理权,将全民基本收入变成一种补偿性收入,这种收入也可以促进性别角色的变化,鼓励男性成为照顾者。

What is (successfully) “social” in global social policy and how does it diffuse? 在全球社会政策中,什么是(成功的)“社会”?它是如何扩散的?

Dear GSP readers, This issue consists of eight articles, a Forum entitled “COVID-19: Lessons for genderresponsive recovery and transformation” and a Digest covering the fields of global social governance, global social policies (redistribution, regulation, rights), health, employment and work, social protection, education, environment, migration and gender, but with an ongoing emphasis on the Covid-19 pandemic. As usual, this editorial briefly presents the discussions and contributions to this issue, but also hints at a number of recently published books in the field. The insights and discussions from our last issue (GSP 21.3) – a special issue on Covid-19 – are continued in the GSP Forum edited by Sarah Cook and Silke Staab, as well as in an article by Zuñiga-Fajuri et al., with a particular focus on gendered and feminist perspectives. The Forum contains short reflections by feminist researchers and advocates from civil society, academia, and intergovernmental agencies. They explore the role feminist activism and ‘policy entrepreneurship’ has played in responding to crisis and driving a more forward-looking gender transformative agenda. Among the insights we get from these contributions are the following: Covid-19 has highlighted gender impacts and inequalities in relation not only to the pandemic but also the crises arising from various measures to prevent the virus from spreading. Activism on genderrelated needs and rights rapidly intensified at the start of the pandemic, drawing on existing evidence and transnational networks. Particularly interesting are the considerations of what transformative, sustainable gender-sensitive policies could be like, linking feminist arguments about care and the environment. In a related vein, the chapter by Warria Ajwang’ in “The Palgrave Handbook of Global Social Problems” (Baikady et al., 2021) describes Covid-19 as a “catalyst for transformative socio-political activism for accountability and justice”. It highlights the potential of the regularization of migrant work for accessing social rights (irrespective of residence, gender, and status). That fits well with the GSP Digest’s comment on the new 1079099 GSP0010.1177/14680181221079099Global Social PolicyKaasch editorial2022
亲爱的普惠制读者,本期共有八篇文章,一个题为“新冠肺炎:性别响应性复苏和转型的教训”的论坛和一个涵盖全球社会治理、全球社会政策(再分配、监管、权利)、健康、就业和工作、社会保护、教育、环境、移民和性别等领域的摘要,但同时持续强调新冠肺炎大流行。和往常一样,这篇社论简要介绍了对这一问题的讨论和贡献,但也暗示了该领域最近出版的一些书籍。Sarah Cook和Silke Staab编辑的《普惠制论坛》以及Zuñiga-Fajuri等人的一篇文章继续介绍了我们上一期(普惠制21.3)——关于新冠肺炎的特刊——的见解和讨论,特别关注性别和女权主义观点。论坛包含了来自民间社会、学术界和政府间机构的女权主义研究人员和倡导者的简短思考。他们探讨了女权主义激进主义和“政策创业”在应对危机和推动更具前瞻性的性别变革议程方面所发挥的作用。我们从这些贡献中得到的见解如下:新冠肺炎突出了性别影响和不平等,不仅与疫情有关,还与防止病毒传播的各种措施引起的危机有关。在新冠疫情开始时,利用现有证据和跨国网络,关于性别相关需求和权利的活动迅速加剧。特别有趣的是,考虑到变革性、可持续的性别敏感政策可能是什么样的,将女权主义关于护理和环境的论点联系起来。与此相关的是,Warria Ajwang在《全球社会问题帕尔格雷夫手册》(Baikady et al.,2021)中的章节将新冠肺炎描述为“促进问责制和正义的变革性社会政治行动的催化剂”。它强调了移民工作正规化对获得社会权利(不分居住地、性别和地位)的潜力。这与《普惠制文摘》对新的1079099 GSP0010.1177/14680181221079099全球社会政策Kaasch社论2022的评论非常吻合

Building back better? Rethinking gender and recovery in the time of COVID-19 重建得更好?新冠肺炎时代的性别与康复反思
IF 1.5 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-04-01 DOI: 10.1177/14680181221079087
Kaira Zoe Alburo-Cañete
Amid growing concerns regarding how the COVID-19 crisis is derailing the important gains made in advancing gender equality and women empowerment over the years, calls to integrate gender perspectives in ‘building back better’ from the pandemic have been heightened (Azcona et al., 2021; OHCHR, 2021). These calls are not new but have been a staple of discourses around recovery and reconstruction across different contexts marked by disaster, conflict and other forms of crises. Popularised by former US President Bill Clinton in his capacity as UN Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery, ‘build back better’ has since been a normative principle adopted by the international humanitarian community (Clinton, 2006). It denotes creating a new state of normalcy: that is, rebuilding is no longer thought of as bouncing back but bouncing forward to a new and improved state. What a ‘better’ transformation looks like is of course a matter of interpretation and is highly contentious. In this article, I focus on how gender figures in imaginations of building a ‘better’ post-pandemic future. To do so, I draw on insights from previous research on women’s experiences of postdisaster reconstruction in the Philippines after typhoon Haiyan (Alburo-Cañete, 2021a, 2021b) and highlight opportunities and challenges in achieving the transformation desired in attempts to rebuild from the pandemic, focussing on the notion of care.
随着人们越来越担心新冠肺炎危机如何破坏多年来在促进性别平等和赋予妇女权力方面取得的重要成果,将性别观点纳入从疫情中“重建得更好”的呼声越来越高(Azcona et al.,2021;人权高专办,2021)。这些呼吁并不新鲜,但一直是以灾难、冲突和其他形式危机为标志的不同背景下围绕复苏和重建的主要讨论。美国前总统比尔·克林顿以联合国海啸灾后恢复特使的身份广受欢迎,“重建得更好”已成为国际人道主义界采用的规范原则(克林顿,2006年)。它意味着创造一种新的常态:也就是说,重建不再被认为是反弹,而是向前反弹到一个新的、改善的状态。“更好”的转变看起来是什么样子当然是一个解释问题,并且极具争议。在这篇文章中,我关注的是在建设一个“更美好”的后疫情未来的想象中,性别是如何塑造的。为此,我借鉴了之前对台风“海燕”(Alburo Cañete,2021a、2021b)后菲律宾妇女灾后重建经历的研究的见解,并强调了实现从疫情中重建所需转变的机遇和挑战,重点关注护理的概念。

The International Labour Organisation as nodal player on the pitch of networked governance: Shifting the goalposts for migrant workers in Qatar 国际劳工组织(ilo)作为网络化治理球场上的节点参与者:改变卡塔尔移民工人的门柱
IF 1.5 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-31 DOI: 10.1177/14680181211065240
N. Piper
This article assesses the role of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as a player within the multi-actor sphere of global migration governance. The aim is to analyse the ILO’s leadership within this sphere that is characterised by shifting dynamics between rules-based and rights-based approaches as a result of the multiplication of actors and, given its normative predisposition, the effects on the ILO’s ability to advance migrant workers’ labour rights. The article is premised on the assumption that the promotion of a rights-based approach to labour migration via the ILO’s decent work agenda depends upon the presence of effective and proactive governing institutions as well as appropriate regulation. Contemporary scholarship highlights the importance of organisational networks across multiple sites and levels of policy making in order to achieve change. The situation of the highly precarious migrant workforce involved in the construction of the physical infrastructure for the Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar demonstrates the particular challenges posed by an unfavourable institutional environment. This leads to the argument that stratified organisational networks at the intersection of various institutional nodes are required to keep shifting the goalpost – and the ILO is one such node. The conception of global governance as nodal provides an understanding of how such networks can generate multi-directional and concerted action across various organisational actors and over time, contributing to the advancement of migrants’ labour rights.
本文评估了国际劳工组织(ILO)在全球移民治理的多参与者领域中的作用。其目的是分析国际劳工组织在这一领域的领导地位,其特点是,由于行为者的增多,基于规则的方法和基于权利的方法之间的动态变化,以及鉴于其规范倾向,对国际劳工组织促进移民工人劳动权利的能力的影响。这篇文章的前提是,通过国际劳工组织的体面工作议程,促进以权利为基础的劳工移徙方法取决于有效和积极的管理机构以及适当的监管。当代学术强调了跨多个地点和政策制定层面的组织网络的重要性,以实现变革。参与2022年卡塔尔世界杯足球赛有形基础设施建设的高度不稳定的移民劳动力的情况表明,不利的体制环境带来了特殊的挑战。这导致了这样一种论点,即需要在各种机构节点的交叉点上建立分层的组织网络来不断改变目标——而国际劳工组织就是这样一个节点。全球治理作为节点的概念使我们了解了这种网络如何在不同的组织行动者之间产生多方向和协调一致的行动,并随着时间的推移,为促进移民的劳工权利做出贡献。

Assembling an international social protection for the migrant: Juridical categorization in ILO migration standards, 1919–1939 对移民的国际社会保护:1919-1939年国际劳工组织移民标准中的法律分类

This article applies a history of knowledge perspective to interwar International Labour Organization (ILO) efforts to produce generalized international instruments for governing migrant labor. The historical analysis explores what it meant in the interwar context to devise ‘an international common law of the emigrant’. It focuses particular attention on the process through which juridical techniques formalized a distinction between ‘migration for employment’ and ‘migratory movements of indigenous workers’. Foregrounding the constructed nature of these categories highlights the underlying race-based notions that informed interwar ILO standard-setting frameworks. More broadly, tracing the knowledge-making processes through which seemingly objective categorical distinctions have been constructed and reconstructed opens space for questioning and potentially rethinking the functionally differentiated normative frameworks through which global policymaking approaches human mobility today.
本文将知识史视角应用于两次世界大战期间国际劳工组织(ILO)制定管理移民劳工的通用国际文书的努力。历史分析探讨了在两次世界大战的背景下,制定“移民国际普通法”意味着什么。它特别关注司法技术正式区分“为就业而移徙”和“土著工人的移徙流动”的过程。这些类别的构建性质突出了为两次世界大战之间的国际劳工组织标准制定框架提供信息的基于种族的基本概念。更广泛地说,追溯构建和重建看似客观的分类区别的知识创造过程,为质疑和可能重新思考当今全球政策制定所采用的功能差异化规范框架开辟了空间。

Following a moving target on a global scale: Gender data collection during COVID-19 跟踪全球范围内的移动目标:COVID-19期间的性别数据收集
IF 1.5 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-24 DOI: 10.1177/14680181221079088

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, feminists in academia, international organizations and civil society were quick to predict that its impact on gender equality would be detrimental (Alon et al., 2020; UN Secretary General, 2020; Wenham et al., 2020). To make their case, they first drew on evidence and lessons from previous crises, but then moved swiftly to collect, analyze and disseminate real-time data—both quantitative and qualitative. This “groundswell of expert activism” (Harman, 2021: 617) was driven by the purposeful and often innovative action of committed gender equality advocates across institutional spaces. Between March 2020 and March 2021, for example, UN Women conducted rapid gender assessments in over 50 countries, collecting gender data on the impact of COVID19 on employment, unpaid care, mental and physical health, and access to government relief through specially designed surveys.1 These and other impact data left no doubt about the gendered fallout of the pandemic, but were governments heeding these insights to inform their response and recovery efforts? Being able to answer this question seemed critical to shape the global policy discourse and hold national governments to account. By May 2020, however, not one of the global policy trackers that monitored government responses to the pandemic included a gender perspective. Public health trackers— such as the WHO COVID-19 Health System Monitor2—focused squarely on first order responses, ignoring measures to address second-order effects such as increasing rates of domestic violence or limited access to sexual and reproductive health services. Meanwhile, trackers monitoring the economic and social policy response—including the ILO’s Social Protection Monitor,3 the World Bank’s Real Time Review of Social Protection and Jobs Responses4 or the IMF’s macroeconomic response tracker5—provided no indication of whether and how countries were responding to large-scale job losses in feminized sectors, women’s heightened poverty risk and rising unpaid care
随着新冠肺炎疫情的爆发,学术界、国际组织和民间社会的女权主义者很快预测,其对性别平等的影响将是有害的(Alon等人,2020;联合国秘书长,2020;Wenham等人,2020)。为了证明自己的观点,他们首先借鉴了以往危机的证据和教训,但随后迅速采取行动,收集、分析和传播实时数据,包括定量和定性数据。这种“专家激进主义的浪潮”(Harman,2021:617)是由坚定的性别平等倡导者在机构空间采取的有目的且往往是创新的行动推动的。例如,在2020年3月至2021年3月期间,妇女署在50多个国家进行了快速性别评估,通过专门设计的调查收集了关于新冠肺炎对就业、无偿护理、身心健康以及获得政府救济的影响的性别数据19,但各国政府是否注意到了这些见解,从而为其应对和恢复工作提供了信息?能够回答这个问题似乎对塑造全球政策话语和追究各国政府的责任至关重要。然而,到2020年5月,监测政府应对疫情的全球政策跟踪机构中没有一个包含性别观点。公共卫生跟踪机构,如世界卫生组织新冠肺炎卫生系统监测机构2,完全专注于一级应对措施,忽视了解决二级影响的措施,如家庭暴力率上升或获得性和生殖健康服务的机会有限。与此同时,监测经济和社会政策反应的追踪机构——包括国际劳工组织的《社会保护监测》、3世界银行的《社会保障和就业反应实时审查》4或国际货币基金组织的宏观经济反应追踪机构5——没有提供任何迹象表明各国是否以及如何应对女性化部门的大规模失业,妇女贫困风险增加和无偿护理增加

Seizing the opportunity to do things differently: Feminist ideas, policies and actors in UN Women’s ‘Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice’ 抓住机会以不同的方式做事:联合国妇女署“可持续发展和社会正义的女权主义计划”中的女权主义思想、政策和行动者

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic early in 2020, we have heard global leaders, public intellectuals and civil society activists speaking of a crisis that requires not just "building back better" but rather a radical reconstruction of the pre-pandemic world. Among these, the United Nations Secretary General has called for a "New global Deal" and a "New social contract" rooted in global solidarity.
自2020年初2019冠状病毒病大流行开始以来,我们听到全球领导人、公共知识分子和民间社会活动人士谈到,这场危机不仅需要“重建得更好”,还需要彻底重建大流行前的世界。其中,联合国秘书长呼吁以全球团结为基础的“全球新政”和“新社会契约”。

Pandemic, informality and women’s work: Redefining social protection priorities at WIEGO 大流行病、非正式行为和妇女工作:重新确定WIEGO的社会保护优先事项

From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Labour Office (ILO) projected that 1.6 billion of the 2 billion workers in the informal economy would be among the most severely affected. Social protection systems designed for labour markets characterized by formal employment struggled to provide relief and support to these workers as the global pandemic took hold. It is against this backdrop that WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing) - a research, advocacy and policy network aimed at improving the livelihoods of workers in the informal economy - deepened its engagement in global social protection policy debates.
从新冠肺炎大流行一开始,国际劳工局(劳工组织)就预测,非正规经济的20亿工人中有16亿人将受到最严重的影响。随着全球疫情的蔓延,为以正式就业为特征的劳动力市场设计的社会保护系统难以为这些工人提供救济和支持。正是在这种背景下,WIEGO(非正规就业妇女:全球化和组织化)——一个旨在改善非正规经济工人生计的研究、宣传和政策网络——加深了其对全球社会保护政策辩论的参与。
