Gender differences are unimportant as long as they do not result in gender inequality. However, it turns out that gender disparities have resulted in a variety of injustices, which affect both men and women. Gender inequality is a system and structure that affects both men and women equally. Because Islam is based on a relationship between Allah and individual women and men, the Qur'an's concept of Islam treats both women and men equally. According to Islamic normativity, a person's high and low quality is determined solely by his or her level of devotion to Allah. Humans are treated equally by God, who does not distinguish between them. God does not differentiate between men and women when it comes to the works he performs. Gender equity is a necessity for both men and women, according to Indonesian women researchers.

Abstract: The one of the crucial issues in the Islamic family law in Indonesia is the issue of gender equity including tug of love. It is caused by historical and empirical of Islamic family law which still put unequal status and unequal roles between men and women. That Islamic family law is law that has become the positive law or has become law and regulation in Indonesia. This article will discuss about the provision of tug of love dispute in Islamic family law in Indonesia, and the renewal of provision of tug of love dispute from a gender justice perspective. Based on the review and analysis can be concluded that the provision of tug of love dispute in Islamic family law in Indonesia (particularly Article 105 and 156 KHI) is not gender equitable and should be revised by adding the aspect of morality, aspect of health, the ability to educate and the ability to take care of children as the main parameter in determining the right parent who will possess the custody of the children.Abstrak: Salah satu persoalan krusial dalam hukum keluarga di Indonesia yang perlu mendapat pembaharuan dewasa ini adalah persoalan keadilan jender dalam hukum keluarga, termasuk hak asuh anak. Hal ini dikarenakan kenyataan historis-empiris hukum keluarga masih menempatkan status dan peran yang tidak setara antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Hukum keluarga yang dimaksud adalah hukum keluarga yang sudah menjadi hukum positif atau menjadi peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia. Artikel ini akan membahas tentang bagaimana ketentuan sengketa hak asuh anak dalam hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia, serta bagaimana pembaruan ketentuan sengketa hak asuh anak dalam perspektif keadilan jender. Berdasarkan kajian artikel ini, dapat disimpulkan; Pertama, ketentuan hukum tentang sengketa hak asuh anak yang diatur dalam pasal 105 dan 156 KHI tidak responsif jender. Kedua, aspek moralitas, kesehatan dan kemampuan mendidik dan memelihara anak tidak bisa dimonopoli oleh jenis kelamin tertentu akan tetapi semua aspek tersebut sama-sama bisa dimiliki baik oleh kaum perempuan (ibu) maupun oleh kaum laki-laki (bapak).

Differences in roles and functions between men and women or higher is known as gender differences that occur in society does not become a problem as long as these differences do not result in discrimination or injustice. Simple benchmarks or measurements that can be used to measure whether gender differences cause injustice or not. Gender is an inherent trait of men and women that is formed by social and cultural factors, so that some assumptions are born about individual social warfare in society. This study aims to describe gender injustice in the film verses of love. The approach used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach in the form of written words that are generated through dialogue on film. The data source is all the utterances spoken in the film narrative and the data are all utterances that contain gender injustice. The techniques used in data collection are listening techniques, transcription techniques, description techniques. And library study techniques. The results showed that in the film verses of love there are several gender injustices including: forms of marginalization, forms of subordination. And streotype forms.

This article uses data from India’s National Sample Survey (NSS), relating to respondents’ health outcomes between January and June 2014, to quantify a particular form of gender inequality: inequality in self-rated health (SRH) outcomes between men and women aged 60 years and above. In so doing, it makes five contributions to the existing literature. The first is in terms of analytical technique; this study contains a more detailed and nuanced exposition of the regression results than in previous studies. Second, it controls for environmental factors—like poor drainage, lack of toilets or ventilation in the kitchen—which might have adverse impact on health and, in particular, affect the health of women more than that of men. Third, it takes an account of interaction effects by which the effect of a variable on an elderly person’s SRH differed according to whether the person was male or female. Lastly, it examines whether SRH is correlated with objective health outcomes. In particular, this study answers two central questions: Did men and women, considered collectively, have significantly different likelihoods of ‘poor’ SRH between the different regions/income classes/social groups/education levels? Did men and women, considered separately, have significantly different likelihoods of a ‘poor’ SRH within a region/income class/social group/education level?

<p>Among the studies developed on gender differences in occupations, the theoretical glass ceiling approach has been used internationally to explain the occurrence of barriers that hinder and even prevent the professional growth of women and generate wage inequalities between men and women in the performance of similar functions. Given the above, the study aims to identify gender differences in the accounting profession analyzed from the perspective of the glass ceiling<em>.</em> The research methodology is descriptive, documentary and the approach is quantitative. Data were extracted from the Annual Social Information (RAIS), base year 2013. The investigated population are employees who work in accounting in companies located in southern Brazil. The results indicate that the professions of accounting auditor and accountant are performed, most often by male professionals. It was found that men have higher pay and a predominance of men in the accounting department of larger companies. We conclude that glass ceiling is present in the accounting profession, creating an invisible barrier to women's access to positions of greater evidence of the accounting profession.</p><p>Keywords:<em> </em>Glass Ceiling.

This study discusses that gender equality must be paired with justice and justice, between men and women must be equal and there must be no differences or contradictions. A normative study looking at it from the perspective of the following law is that submission will discuss the rights of a woman, everyone has equal rights without exception, and those rights have existed since man is in a supported reserve. Research methods using the normative juridical method by reviewing the literature and legislation, where the findings or results have met the requirements for the rights of everyone listed in the regulations of Law Number 39 of 1999, but viewed from the point of view seen sociological that in society assumes that gender equality can occur if each party considers to be responsible, their duties and roles. While the usefulness of this research provides benefits and participation of law enforcers, the community must not represent gender differences or injustice in the community, all people have the same rights, novelty in this study agrees and then gender in community life to prioritize and prioritize there will be the right to life, because that right is a very determined right granted to all people such as the right not to increase torture, get education, health, and eliminate the perception of gender inequality in any field or area of life, because everyone is the same and supports , in the field of law, and also government.

This paper tends to explore the various branches of the Feminist Jurisprudence and its inter-section with the other disciplines. To understand the socio-legal nuances involved in the concept of achieving a gender just framework there is a need to analyze the vast scholarly literature available on the subject. Therefore, an attempt has been made to conceptualize the problem of gender inequality existing between the relations of men and women in the Indian society. And finally connecting the scope of this analysis for building a contemporary understanding of the concept of Gender Justice paradigm in the Indian scenario. KEYWORDS: Feminist Jurisprudence, Gender, Gender-relations, Intersectionality, Gender Justice.

Gender inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. A core factor that feeds gender inequality is people’s gender ideology - a set of beliefs about the proper order of society in terms of the roles women and men should fill. We argue that gender ideology is shaped, in large parts, by the way people make sense of gender differences. Specifically, people often think of gender differences as expressions of a predetermined biology, and of men and women as different "kinds". We describe work suggesting that thinking of gender differences in this biological-essentialist way perpetuates a non-egalitarian gender ideology. We then review research that refutes the hypothesis that men and women are different "kinds" in terms of brain function, hormone levels, and personality characteristics. Next, we describe how the organization of the environment in a gender-binary manner, together with cognitive processes of categorization drive a biological-essentialist view of gender differences. We then describe the self-perpetuating relations, which we term the gender-binary cycle, between a biological-essentialist view of gender differences, a non-egalitarian gender ideology, and a binary organization of the environment along gender lines. Finally, we consider means of intervention at different points in this cycle.

Abstract Background Inequality in gender varies across social contexts, which may influence the health of both men and women. Based on theories of gender as a social system, we examine whether systematic gender inequality at the macro-level influences health of men and women. Method Using harmonized panel data from the Gateway to Global Aging Data in 23 high- and middle-income countries (N = 168 873), we estimate disability prevalence and incidence for men and women ages 55–89 (2000–2016). Within each country or geographic region, we also investigate gender differences in age gradients of the probability of disability onset. We, then, pool data from all countries and test the hypothesis that gender inequality increases the probability of disability onset. Results We found substantial cross-country variation in disability incidence rates, and this variation is greater for women than for men. Among ages 65–69, disability incidence rates ranged from 0.4 to 5.0 for men and from 0.5 to 9.4 for women. Our within-country analysis showed significant gender differences in age gradients of the probability of disability onset in the United States, Korea, Southern Europe, Mexico, and China, but not in Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe, England, and Israel. Testing hypothesized effects of gender inequality, we find that gender inequality is significantly associated with the probability of disability onset for women, but not for men. Conclusions Macro-level societal gender inequality is significantly associated with the probability of disability onset for women. Reducing and eliminating gender inequality is crucial to achieving good health for women.

Psychological stress, a subjective perception of an adverse environmental change, is a hallmark of modern society. Although psychological stress has previously been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), it is unclear whether stress influences cardiovascular risk differently in men versus women. Gender disparities exist in the prevalence of stress as well as in the prevalence and prognosis of CVD; therefore, associations between stress and CVD risk and mortality may vary by sex. The purpose of this review was to summarize the evidence from recent and landmark studies on gender differences in the associations of stress with CVD risk factors and end points and to highlight clinical and public health implications as well as future research directions in this field. Taken together, research to date indicates that while stress is associated with poorer cardiovascular health metrics in both men and women, the influence of stress on measures of glucose regulation and dyslipidemia and on overall CVD risk may be stronger among women. However, men may be more susceptible to the influence of stress on body adiposity, blood pressure, and CVD mortality. In terms of behavioral risk factors for CVD, associations between stress and diet quantity and quality appear to be stronger among women, but the influence of stress on sedentary behaviors and sleep may be stronger among men. Given that gender disparities exist in the prevalence of overall and different types of stress (eg, financial stress, caregiving stress, and occupational stress), future studies should decipher the potential differential associations between types of stress and cardiovascular risk among men and women to identify vulnerable populations and develop targeted interventions.

Research has shown that gender disparities exist in online communication. Understanding the factors that enable students to effectively communicate online and ultimately manage their own discussions has important learning and pedagogical implications. This study examined the communication and interactional processes of peer-directed online discussions. Gender disparities were found in communication styles and in the use of socio-emotional content. Men were expository whereas messages posted by women were of an epistolary nature. Women used socio-emotional content more than men. However, interactions, such as the extent to which men and women persisted in message threads as well as responded to one another, were comparable overall. Although not significant, women posted more messages of longer length but men received more replies to their messages. The findings have important pedagogical implications for educators who wish to engage students in peer-directed text-based asynchronous discussions.
