The second section analyzes gender within major societal domains, including violence, health, religion, and climate change, highlighting how gender inequities are reinforced or challenged across institutions. The third section presents region-specific case studies from India to Oceania, exploring how colonization, modernization, policy, and local traditions impact gender ideals and experiences. Additional topics addressed throughout the book include gender-based violence, intersectionality, the enduring impact of colonialism, the role of technology, and building resilience in marginalized communities.
Global Perspectives on Gender concludes by posing the question: Will gender become so fluid that it becomes increasingly irrelevant? Readers of all backgrounds, from scholars to students to practitioners, are invited to analyze present constructs to advance gender equity worldwide.
