However, behind the Taliban's power, female journalists in Afghanistan have their own challenges because their rights as women in that country are limited. Since the transfer of power, women journalists in Afghanistan have been threatened, as has been reported in various media.

And Gender

Irrespective of their contribution, women in Ethiopia have been facing issues like violence, gender-based discrimination, access to education and training, lack of basic human rights protection, and others. Girls' enrollment in education at all levels is much lower than boys. Female education is hampered mainly by the sexual division of labor, which confines girls to household activities. In addition, women have been suffering from gender-based violence under the guise of tradition and culture but condoned by society. In response to these problems, the Government of Ethiopia adopted relevant instruments pertaining to gender including the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), The Beijing Platform for Action, The Ethiopian Constitution, and various other policies and establishing the national machinery for addressing gender issues. However, several challenges still exist in the realization of women's rights. Therefore, all the respect and protection given for human rights should also be given to women because women's rights are human rights.

The issue of gender equality in Indonesia has been widely discussed, especially by the younger generations who are starting to become aware of the disadvantages of male domination. However, these discussions in the government sphere are only a ploy to gain a reputation for favouring women’s rights. Thus despite the 30% quota for the parliamentary elections, the number of women in the legislative assembly never reached the target. The construction theory in the field of International Relations considers the discourse on gender equality to be closely related to the formation of social facts that occur in the community. The anachronistic idea that women’s roles should solely comprise cooking fulfilling their husband sexual desires is unfortunately still entrenched in Indonesian culture. Using qualitative-deductive research methods, this study demonstrates that the Patriarchal system as a cultural heritage from ancient times is still adopted today. This is proven by the small number of women sitting in the power of the legislative body. Keywords: Gender, Legislature, Politic, women’s rights

Abstract That societies should be gender-equal is a prevailing normative ideal to which states at the very least pay lip service. The UAE as a highly globalised state that aspires to a superior status has not stood outside of these dynamics. Whereas in the decades since independence in 1971 women’s rights were emphasised as a sign of the country’s progress, nowadays, the UAE government portrays women’s rights as being advanced to such an extent that they are setting up a new gender empowerment benchmark for the Middle Eastern region. Additionally, the UAE has also proclaimed the goal of becoming one of the top 25 gender-equal states in the world by 2021. I suggest that these official proclamations are indicative of a signalling strategy whose aim is to advocate to an international audience that the UAE deserves a status higher than it currently holds. Based on Larson and Svechenko’s interpretation of social identity theory, I claim that the UAE’s strategy is one of social creativity. It rests on creating a new value – the Emirati standard of gender equality – within the Arab group. The former is operationalised through, on the one hand, ‘teaching to the test’ tactics in the area of women’s political participation, a field that can be easily regulated by the government. And on the other, on overemphasising the professional deeds of a small group of high-achieving women. In the latter case, as the numbers of females in employment are rather low, the government elects to call attention to women in specific and unconventional positions so as to lend greater credence to the existence of their own superior standard of gender equality within the Arab region.

Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memberikan penjelasan terkait bentuk-bentuk perlindungan hukum hak-hak pekerja perempuan pasca revisi Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja. Adapun fenomena yang ada pasca pengesahan Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Cipta Kerja oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat pada tanggal 05 Oktober 2020 adalah terdapat berbagai penolakan masyarakat terhadap Omnibus Law tersebut. Salah satu alasan penolakan masyarakat yang mendorong aksi demokrasi di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Adapun salah satu persoalan yang menjadi isu yang ditolak oleh masyarakat melalui demonstrasi tersebut adalah penghapusan hak-hak perempuan. Jenis Penelitian yang digunakan dalam menulis artikel ini adalah jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Melalui kajian normatif, Peneliti bermaksud untuk melakukan kajian perlindungan hukum bagi hak-hak pekerja perempuan pasca revisi undang-undang ketenagakerjaan dalam pengesahan Rancangan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja. Sebagai hasil kajian, peneliti menemukan bahwa hak-hak yang menjadi obyek demonstrasi masyarakat tidak seluruhnya benar. Adapun penyebaran informasi-informasi tidak tepat secara massif dan terstruktur menyebabkan pemahaman yang keliru di masyarakat. Sehingga terjadi demonstrasi penolakan terhadap Omnibus Law yang salah satu pembahasannya adalah perlindungan pekerja perempuan dalam Klaster Ketenagakerjaan. Meskipun penegasan penegakan hak-hak perempuan seharusnya ditegaskan kembali dalam revisi undang-undang tersebut, seperti keharusan pemberian hak-hak pekerja perempuan pada Usaha Kecil dan Mikro yang cukup sering terabaikan.   The purpose of writing this article is to provide a related explanation of forms of legal protection for women workers after revision of Law Number 13 Year 2003 Concerning Employment in Law Number 11 Year 2020 About Job Creation. As for the existing phenomena after the ratification of the Draft Law on Job Creation by the government on October 5, 2020, there have been various public objections to the omnibus law. One of the reasons for the community’s refusal to encourage democratic action in the various region in Indonesia. One of the issues that became an issue that was rejected by the community through the demonstration was the elimination of women’s rights. The type of research used in writing this article is a type of normative legal research. Though a normative study, the researcher intends to conduct a study of legal protection for the rights of women workers after the revision of the labor law in the ratification of the Work Creation Regulation. As a result of the study, the researcher found that the rights that were the object of community demonstration were not entirely correct. Meanwhile, the massive and structured dissemination of inaccurate information has lead to a misunderstanding in society. So there was a demonstration against the omnibus law, one of which was discussed was the protection of women workers in the employment cluster. Although the affirmation of women’s rights should be reaffirmed in the revision of the law, such as the necessity of grant the right of women workers at Small and Micro Enterprises which is quite often neglected.

Using Data

AbstractOf the 45 Muslim majority countries in the world, 42 have signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. While this does indeed signal a motive to improve women's rights, there is wide disparity in terms of which countries expand rights and which do not. Social science literature suggests that in addition to economic factors like wealth and oil resources, or political factors like the quality of democracy in the country, Islamic culture may be at odds with the Western conception of women's rights. We posit that Muslim countries are unique in this regard due to religious pressures that often conflict with conventional measures of human rights. Using data from the Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights Dataset and the Religion and State Project, we find that Muslim countries that restrict the influence of fundamentalist religion in the government and population improve women's economic and social rights.

Since the emergence of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, the situation of Afghan women has been a prominent issue in media and policy. This chapter analyzes the complex and contested role of women’s rights in Afghanistan since the US military-led intervention. Beginning with a review of justifications for the intervention—based in part on the situation of Afghan women—the chapter details and critiques the legislative and constitutional changes brought about by the intervention and the subsequent backlash against increased freedoms. As the international community shifted to prioritize security and stability over women’s rights, it illustrates the abandonment of Afghan women in favor of the possibility of negotiations with the Taliban. The chapter calls for greater involvement of women in peace processes and a genuine commitment to women’s rights by both the government and the international community. It closes with recommendations for other countries in transition.

The Impact

This article analyzes how Iranian women have become legal actors and unofficial source of law in the Islamic republic of Iran, compelling the government to align on universal women’s rights standards. Iranian women have initiated and supported amendments, bills and reforms to enhance their rights and to work towards the implementation of universal women’s rights standards. The path they have opted for to reform Iranian law is original from many viewpoints: firstly, the reform of Iranian law takes place from the bottom to the top of the society as it is carried out by civil society; then women activists and groups support the reform of methods of interpretation of Islamic legal sources in order to see the emergence of more human rights-orientated interpretations of Islamic law: Eventually to reach their aim of conciliation between Iranian law, Islamic law and universal women’s rights, Iranian women have drawn their inspirations for a reformed Iranian law from many legal sources, giving a practical meaning to the notion of legal pluralism.

Status Of Women

The article is devoted to the main problems in overcoming the gaps in women’s rights and establishing the principle of equality of the sexes in Russia in the 19th and 20th century. Historically, the legal status of women in Russia covered only marriage, family and inheritance relations. However, during the period covered by this article, the legislator ensured the political rights of women and recognized women as independent subjects of public law. The problem of the legal status of women in Russia has recently acquired not only theoretical, but also practical significance. The study of this problem was carried out relying not only on scientific articles, but also on legal sources and historical documents, such as the Collection of laws and orders of the government of Saint-Petersburg, Decree of the Provisional Government of July 20 1917 etc. The author comes to the conclusion that the evolutionary path of women’s rights in Russia had its own identity, while taking into account the experience and legislative practice of other countries.

Answering to local expectations and the need for a reliant partner for the US Army in the fight against ISIS, a Kurdish-based de facto autonomous territory emerged in Northern Syria, which later turned into a multicultural entity. The characteristically leftist political, social, and economic changes implemented by the new regime differ considerably from the government models practised in the region; however, they also trigger significant criticism. Although in 2018 and 2019, the entity suffered important losses in territory due to the geopolitical interests of Russia, the US, and Turkey, the Au-tonomous Administration of North and East Syria still could be a solid pillar in Syria’s future. This is not only due to its strategic and military importance, but also because the political system could provide, nevertheless, after some changes, an alternative for the Middle East in terms of multicultural governance, women’s rights and society-building based on mutual respect.
