Globally, women are facing social, economic, and cultural barriers
impeding their autonomy and agency. Accelerated women empowerment
programs often fail to attain their targets as envisaged by the
policymakers due to a variety of reasons, with the most prominent
being the deep-rooted cultural norms ingrained within society. In
the era of globalization, empowerment of women demands new
approaches and strategies that encourage the mainstreaming of
gender equality as a societal norm. The Handbook of Research on New
Dimensions of Gender Mainstreaming and Women Empowerment is a
critical scholarly publication that examines global gender issues
and new strategies for the promotion of women empowerment and
gender mainstreaming in various spheres of women's lives, including
education and ICT, economic participation, health and sexuality,
mental health, aging, law and judiciary, leadership, and decision
making. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all major gender
issues with novel ideas on gender mainstreaming being contributed
by men and women authors from multidisciplinary backgrounds. Gender
perspective and intersectional approach in the discourses make this
handbook a unique contribution to the scholarship of social
sciences and humanities. The book provides new theoretical inputs
and practical directions to academicians, sociologists, social
workers, psychologists, managers, lawyers, policy makers, and
government officials in their efforts at gender mainstreaming. With
a wide range of conceptual richness, this handbook is an excellent
reference guide to students and researchers in programs pertaining
to gender/women's studies, cultural studies, economics, sociology,
social work, medicine, law, and management.
