Discourses on women's Suffrage in Chile 1865-1949
Historia (Santiago), 2006Co-Authors: Javiera Errázuriz TagleAbstract:Womens Suffrage was not a subject that interested women only but involved all sectors of national political life, becoming a milestone of Chilean political history. This work analyzes feminine and masculine speeches over the subject since the end of the 19 th century until midst 20th century (1865-1949). We can verify that the vote of women became a matter of real importance for feminine organizations when they realized that, without participating in the political sphere, little could be done for their civil vindications. In that sense, the feminine discourse evolves from a clear rejection of Suffrage, expressed around 1865 in the El eco de las Senoras de Santiago, to its passionate vindication, in the 1930's and 1940's. The masculine discourse also evolves from silence (which can be considered as a refusal to discuss the subject) along the 19 th century and the first decades of the 20 th , to an unanimous acceptance around the decade of 1940, when the problem of Womens Suffrage seems to be threatening Chilean democratic image by excluding half of the population from politics for gender reasons. This is why we consider that the speeches are important sources of analysis, since theyallow the analysis of the evolution of Chilean society in that period. The arguments favoring or rejecting Womens Suffrage show us certain points of view about the world, women and politics in the Chile on those years, points of view to be redefined and thought over in light of the modernization and democratization processes.

Der Kampf um politische Partizipation! : dargestellt anhand der rechtshistorischen Entwicklung des Frauenwahlrechts in Österreich und in der Schweiz
2013Co-Authors: Scheucher Anna-lisaAbstract:Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Ausschluss von Frauen bei Wahlen und dem langen Weg zur Erreichung dieses Rechts.Angefangen bei der Französischen Revolution, wo Frauen das erste Mal aufstanden um für das Frauenwahlrecht zu kämpfen, über die Anfänge der Frauenbewegung im 19.Jahrhundert bis hin zum Suffragismus. Dann wird die Einführung des Frauenwahlrechts weltweit besprochen: Vom Vorreiter Neuseeland, das als erster Staat der Welt das Frauenwahlrecht 1893 einführte, über Finnland, das 1906 in Europa den Anfang machte, bis hin zu den Staaten, die sich nach den beiden Weltkriegen zum Frauenwahlrecht durchringen konnten.Besonderes Augenmerk wird dann auf die Einführung des Wahlrechts für Frauen in Österreich und der Schweiz gelegt. Zunächst wird die Entwicklung hin zu einem Frauenwahlrecht in diesen beiden Ländern beschrieben, die sehr unterschiedlich ausfiel. In Österreich konnten die Frauen bereits 1919 bei der Nationalratswahl mitentscheiden. In der Schweiz mussten sie sich ein wenig länger gedulden. Dort kam es erst 1971 zum Durchbruch. Damit war die Schweiz eines der letzten Länder Europas, das den Frauen dieses essentielle Recht gewährte. Der Kanton Appenzell Innerrhoden verweigerte den Frauen sogar bis 1990 die Teilnahme an der Landsgemeinde. Erst ein Entscheid des Bundesgerichts zwang diesen Kanton zur Einführung des Frauenstimmrechts.Weiters wird die derzeitige politische Situation von Frauen in diesen beiden Ländern geklärt. Es geht um die Frage, wie stark die Frauen seit der Einführung des Frauenwahlrechts im Parlament und in den Regierungen vertreten sind.Abschließend werden die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen der Einführung des Stimmrechts für Frauen in diesen beiden Ländern herausgearbeitet. Es geht hauptsächlich darum, wie es in der Schweiz so viel länger dauern konnte als in Österreich. Des Weiteren wird die politische Partizipation von Frauen seit der Einführung des Frauenwahlrechts in diesen beiden Ländern verglichen.This thesis deals with the exclusion of women from elections and their long struggle to get the right to vote. The first part gives an overview of the introduction of the female Suffrage worldwide.Starting at the French Revolution where women stood up for the first time to demand the right to vote, to the beginning of the Womens movement in the 19th century, up to the Womens Suffrage movement.Then the introduction of female Suffrage worldwide is discussed: From the pioneer country New Zealand, that introduced Womens Suffrage as the first country worldwide in 1893, to Finland, that was the first European country to give its women the right to vote in 1906. Most European countries came through after the First or the Second World War. Switzerland is an exception to this pattern.Special attention in this thesis is paid to the introduction of Womens Suffrage in Austria and Switzerland. First, the history towards Womens Suffrage in these two countries is discussed, which was very different indeed. In Austria women were able to vote for the first time in 1919 at the National Council elections. In Switzerland they had to wait a lot longer: National Womens Suffrage was only introduced in 1971. Switzerland was one of the last countries in Europe to grant women this essential right. The canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden even refused Womens Suffrage until 1990. Only a decision of the Federal Court forced the canton to introduce women's Suffrage on the cantonal level.Finally, the similarities and differences between the introduction of voting rights for women in these two countries are worked out. The main question is, why it took Switzerland so much longer than Austria to introduce Womens Suffrage. Furthermore, the political participation of women since the introduction of women's Suffrage in these two countries is compared.vorgelegt von Anna-Lisa ScheucherAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Dipl.-Arb., 2013(VLID)23409

Sex education and population policies
Demos (Mexico City Mexico), 1991Co-Authors: Rodriguez GAbstract:Controversy about sex education programs has hampered sustained actin or curricular extension in Mexico beyond programs directly related to demographic policies. The 1st sex education in Mexico perhaps dated back to 1908 when physicians and other health professionals inspired by the eugenics movement offered sex education to prevent venereal diseases and maternal and/infant mortality. A 2nd attempt occurred in 1916 in the context of the Womens Suffrage movement. The 2 perspectives were integrated in a sex education project in 1933 as part of the program of "revolutionary education" legitimized by the progressive and modernizing government of the time. Conservative groups including some parents associations and religious organizations insisted on their exclusive right to provide sex education and in following decades they opposed social programs related to primary health care and Womens rights. In the 1960 the introduction to Mexico of modern contraceptives and the questioning by young people of virginity and the double standard of sexual morality were not aided by any formal program of sex education in Mexico. In the early 1970s the need to transform fertility patterns led to establishment of formal sex education programs at the national level. The focus was on reproduction and demographic aspects. Most students were exposed to classes and textbooks covering puberty human reproduction contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. The intense activity of the early years did not continue in the subsequent program but currently the threat of AIDS and economic and social pressures are prompting a new political will in favor of sex education. Sex education is seen as the main strategy for AIDS prevention programs. Homosexual groups are demonstrating a new political pressure as civil organizations integrated into a new sector demanding sex education. At the same time population policies are assuming a predominant position in official discourse as a means of facing social and economic needs. New programs are under study for the rural populations and adolescents who are not well covered by existing family planning programs. A national sex survey found that there had been some advances in sex education with almost half of respondents stating they had received information on sexuality and contraception from teachers or written materials. Curriculum adjustments are being made in sex education at the basic and intermediate levels within the program of Educational modernization. Content covering development of affective and personal relations and prevention of AIDS is being added. A new unit on Adolescent Sexuality is also planned to cover sexual identity and expression and the control and abuse of sexual impulses.
