This chapter traces constructions of gendered and sexualized difference in the Thai imperial formation by examining the more intimate matters of the conflict. These include discourses regarding rape and romantic relationships, the establishment of female paramilitary units to police Patani women, and military support for women's groups in the South. The focus of concern for the Thai military is not ultimately the daughter but the respectability of the family. The seduction of the daughter risks sullying the image of the imperial family and putting into question the father's masculine ability to protect; worse, the sexualized intrusion threatens the body politic because the undesired union might yield unwanted offspring. The “mission of 'guarding our daughter'” consequently aims at policing her sexuality in order to restore both the paternal authority of the Thai state over the southern provinces and the respectful order that regulates the rightful reproduction of the imperial formation.

Alcohol Prohibition

The body of women in India’s northeast is both racialized and gendered as the region continues to be constructed through the binaries of post-colonial sate-society conflicts and often treated as the ‘other’ of the nation state. A conflict centric approach however has mostly focused on women’s interventions in the society from the perspective of their ‘peace making’ capacities and thus obscuring some other significant roles performed historically by organized women power in the region: activities that predate and, in fact, in some crucial ways influence their gradual mobilization towards the role of peace making. Some of the prominent women led social movements that began in the decades of 1970s and 1980s around the issue of alcohol prohibition had gradually transformed into movements taking up issues of human rights violations and peace negotiations besides others. In this context it is interesting to look into the instances of anti-alcohol or prohibitionist protests undertaken by women in India’s northeast, specially focusing on prominent women’s groups in the states of Manipur and Nagaland, that points at the complex roles played by women’s groups in crafting a public space for the women to articulate their opinion in these societies even when they face challenges from within and without and come to terms with the dilemmas of having to take some difficult position both against the state and the community.

AbstractWomen’s activism within various ethnic groups in Nigeria dates back to the pre-colonial era, with notable heroic leaders, like Moremi of Ife, Amina of Zaria, Emotan of Benin, Funmilayo Kuti, Margaret Ekpo and many others. The participation of Nigerian women in the Beijing Conference of 1995 led to a stronger voice for women in the political landscape. Several women’s rights groups have sprung up in the country over the years. Notable among them are the Federation of Nigerian Women’s Societies (FNWS), Women in Nigeria (WIN), Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND) and Female in Nigeria (FIN). However, majority have failed to actualize significant political, social or economic growth. This paper examines the challenges and factors leading to their inability to live up to people’s expectations. Guided by patriarchy and liberal feminism theories, this paper utilizes both historical and descriptive methods to examine these factors. The paper argues that a lack of solidarity among women’s groups, financial constraints, unfavourable political and social practices led to the inability of women’s groups in Nigeria to live up to the envisaged expectations. The paper concludes that, for women’s activist groups to survive in Nigeria, a quiet but significant social revolution is necessary among women. Government should also formulate and implement policies that will empower women politically, economically and socially.
