Navigating Gender Equality: Policies, Perceptions, and Political Dynamics

This panel examines approaches to gender equality in diverse political and cultural contexts. By exploring case studies from Turkey, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and India, papers explore how gender mainstreaming, policy construction, and societal beliefs shape gender equality initiatives. The papers also highlight the role of critical actors, environmental factors, and intersectionality in driving policy change and addressing gendered challenges in governance and social welfare.
