This book analyzes the effect of gender on policy-making in the
Jamaican Parliament, specifically regarding women-friendly
policies. So-called "women-friendly policies" are categorized as
those laws which seek to promote and protect women's rights and
equality and have some element addressing childcare, domestic
violence, sex offences, reproductive rights, sex discrimination,
property rights and family issues. It frames critical analysis of
bill sponsorship and the participation levels and verbal
contributions of legislators during floor debates on legislation
affecting women. Using a mixed method approach, the author gives
insight into how feminism is integrated into real-time public
policy discourse. The book begins with a brief overview of feminist
advocacy and activism and State feminism in Jamaica and an
introduction to the country's Parliamentary system. It then moves
to a theoretical discussion of feminist advocacy within public
policy debates. The next two chapters present a time series
analysis of bill introduction and floor debates on women's
interests and issues legislation from 1962 through 2017. The
concluding chapter ties up the research and provides
recommendations for moving forward. Combining feminist theory with
a detailed view of Jamaican Parliamentary procedure and debate,
this book will be useful to students and researchers interested in
feminist advocacy and activism, minority representation, democratic
governance, and women in politics.
