    2014
    Co-Authors: Raashida Gull
    Abstract:

    Based on the belief that men and women are inher ently of equal worth Feminist Movement emerged to achieve this equality between women and men because most societies privilege men as a group. Since its emergence Feminist Movement has radically transformed women’s lives in the process witnessing shifts in the form of waves, each wave dealing with different issues. It is in this context that the present paper attempts to giv e an overview of the conditions in response to which Feminist Movement emerged and also trace the evolution witnessed by it in the course of fulfilling the inequality gap between men and women. New debates and issues are emerging in the course of evolution of the Feminist Movement. The paper makes an attempt to present a picture of how these debates and issues are shaping the women’s Movement.

  • Recognising Men’s Violence as Political: An Analysis of the Swedish Feminist Movement and Its Interaction with the State
    2013
    Co-Authors: Stuart Miller
    Abstract:

    Sweden is a country which is often praised for its commitment to gender equality, as expressed through its high female parliamentary representation and its adoption of measures such as the criminalisation of sex purchase. What many forget, however, is the role of the Feminist Movement in bringing this about and the large degree of resistance which it has often faced from the Swedish political establishment. In this thesis, I explore the struggle of the new (or “second wave”) Feminist Movement, from its emergence in 1968 until the end of the 1990s, to break down the traditional division between public and private and to have male violence, in its many forms, recognised as a political and structural issue. From a radical Feminist theoretical perspective, I carry out two historical case studies that help to illuminate this process, one looking at the Feminist Movement’s struggle against the Sexual Crimes Investigation and the other at the activities of the women’s shelter Movement over several decades. Finally, I analyse the state’s apparent willingness in the 1990s to, for the first time, take measures based on a Feminist understanding and analysis of male violence and to depart somewhat from the principle of gender neutrality. I consider what some of the reasons for this might be and how much of a role can be attributed to the Feminist Movement as an independent political actor.
