Stretching the Archives Toward a Global Women’s Film Heritage

Stretching the Archives Toward a Global Women’s Film Heritage | Women and Gender Studies | Scoop.it

The book is the result of two years of networking, workshops, and conferences that aimed to bring together scholars, archivists, and filmmakers. The focus was on addressing gaps in our shared histories, with a particular emphasis on feminist cultural memory and film heritage in the Global South. This book combines feminist and anti-colonial research, and through the network, women and individuals identifying as female from around the world came together to share passions, frustrations, knowledge, and experiences related to film archives and restoration projects. These projects have often neglected the work of women from the Global South. Recognizing that the intersection of the anti-colonial movement with second wave feminism and the rise of film studies in the seventies provided a rich framework, the authors collectively decided to focus on that era to find a workable methodology for their diverse approaches to film history.

Afghanistan three years on: resilience in the face of gender oppression

On 17 September 2024, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists hosted an event to highlight the plight of women and girls in Afghanistan, three years after the Taliban's return to de facto power. The evening’s speakers, who discussed the current situation and proposed paths forward, were:

Zahra Joya, an Afghan journalist living in London, and the editor-in-chief and founder of Rukhshana Media, a news agency reporting on the lives of women and girls in Afghanistan;

Sir Laurie Bristow, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Afghanistan from June to November 2021, and currently President of Hughes Hall, Cambridge University; and

Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, who is currently a visiting professor at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute in Sweden.

The conversation was moderated by Amie Ferris-Rotman, a British-American journalist based in London, currently the global news editor at New Lines Magazine. Manizha Talash, an Afghan breakdancer who competed in the 2024 Olympic Games for the Refugee Team, also addressed the audience. She made headlines after being disqualified for wrapping herself in a burqa bearing the message "Free Afghan Women."

Police Court Rota : women’s archiving and access to legal life in early twentieth-century England -

Police Court Rota : women’s archiving and access to legal life in early twentieth-century England - | Women and Gender Studies | Scoop.it

Lammasniemi, Laura (2024) Police Court Rota : women’s archiving and access to legal life in early twentieth-century England. Women's History Review, 33 (1). pp. 7-24. doi:10.1080/09612025.2023.2208407 ISSN 0961-2025.

The period of the early twentieth century is marked by an intense struggle on the part of women to gain access to professional careers and the public sphere. This paper contributes to a wider discourse on women’s professionalisation, by focusing specifically on women’s access to legal professions and the role archiving played in that process in the years preceding the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 in light of the Police Court Rota, run by the Association for Moral and Social Hygiene (AMSH). The members of the Rota acted as observers in criminal cases, interviewers, writers and activists at the time when women were formally excluded from courtrooms and legal life. The paper draws extensively from the archives of the AMSH and National Vigilance Association and argues that observations, legal record creation and archiving gave middle-class women volunteers access to legal professions and power, despite formal exclusions. These records and collections, in part, counter law’s missing archive on women and criminal justice. This paper examines what these counter archives tell us about exclusion of women from legal history and the role archiving played within women’s professionalisation, and in turn, how class and colonial bias manifested within that process of archive creation.

Measuring social norms for gender and development: Lessons and priorities

Measuring social norms for gender and development: Lessons and priorities | Women and Gender Studies | Scoop.it
This discussion paper reviews seven key examples of how social norms are being measured in efforts to achieve gender equality. Through this analysis, several cross-cutting shortcomings become evident, limiting the effectiveness of norms-based work in improving gender equality outcomes. The paper concludes by outlining components of a future framework for measuring social norms and gender equality, suggesting what should be measured, why, how, and by whom.
