Gender Role As A Mediating Factor In Gender Pay Equity Analysis, Jillian Ann Girard

The gender wage gap has been persistent despite the introduction of new laws designed to address the disparity.

Intrastate Armed Conflict And Peacebuilding In Nepal: An Assessment Of The Political And Economic Agency Of Women, Gyanu Gautam Luintel
Dissertations and Theses

While they endure the same effects of the conflict as the rest of the population, they also become targets of gender-based violence. However, women can also be active agents of armed conflict and perpetrate violence. Therefore, political and scientific communities at the national and international levels are now increasingly interested in …
