Womanhood and Poverty:
Implications, Experiences, Emotions
1st Global Meeting
Call for Participation 2017
A Human Rights and Active Citizenship Project
Friday 7th April - Sunday 9th April 2017
Lisbon, Portugal
"Poverty has a woman's face"
- Tahira Abdullah
According to United Nations' WomenWatch, the great majority of the over one
billion people struggling with severe poverty across the globe are women.
This unequal division of wealth - or in this case, lack thereof - among
genders is known as the feminization of poverty. A combination of factors
ranging from traditional gender norms, practices and stereotypes to legal
barriers preventing women from acquiring wealth in their own name are
constantly working towards keeping women statistically poorer than men.
This situation is quite evident in some developing countries, where female
citizens often have (sometimes formally) restricted access to education and
to the labour market, being confined to unpaid domestic and caregiving work
and thus highly reliant on men for their survival and prosperity. However,
the feminization of poverty also affects developed states, due to issues
such as wage gaps, single motherhood or underpaid and undervalued feminized
labour sectors.
But what does this female-faced poverty really mean? What does it mean to
society as a whole that half of its members make up most of its poor? What
does it mean to women everywhere that they are born with a higher risk of
becoming poor? What does it mean for the children born and raised by
mothers struggling with poverty? And most of all, what does it mean to be a
woman and poor?
In an attempt to find some answers to these questions and many others, we
invite proposals and presentations from a wide variety of professionals,
such as feminist and human rights researchers and activists, members of
relevant NGOs, poverty researchers, sociologists and social scientists,
psychologists, historians, anthropologists, public administrators and
public policy makers, lawyers, educators, social workers, healthcare
professionals, economists, members of the business sector, human resources
experts, artists, writers, performers, storytellers and more.
Possible presentation topics include (but are not limited to):
Defining and measuring the feminization of poverty.
Establishing implications of the feminization of poverty on micro and/or
macro level.
Discussing the causes that lead to unequal distribution of wealth and
resources among genders.
Questioning and critically analyzing the concept of feminization of
poverty.
Presenting the situation of women struggling with poverty in specific parts
of the world.
Providing possible solutions to reduce poverty among women.
Evaluating existing legal framework and/or public policies that affect
women's material situation.
Analyzing the possible connections between gender, ethnicity/ sexual
orientation/ age and poverty.
Perspectives on poverty and access to education for women.
Identifying survival mechanisms (emotional, psychological, political,
economical, cultural, etc ) that help women cope with poverty.
Interpreting how is poverty perceived different by a woman or a man. Is
poverty shaped by gender norms?
Exploring the specific emotions and experiences of women struggling with
(past or present) poverty.
Depicting women's transitions to/from poverty and the emotions and
experiences specific to this journey.
Analyzing the relationship between women, emotions and money and how
finances can shape their realities and social status.
Qualitative approaches to poverty: How and what do poor women dream in life
and what are their struggles regarding the limits that poverty can create
in shaping a future.
Generating new interdisciplinary links between poverty and romantic
relationships. Is poverty affecting the capacity of love? Is poverty in a
couple connected to violence?
Discussing the emotional/ psychological effects that poverty can have on a
person's life and if there are significant differences between genders.
Women, poverty and depression. The psychological struggles and effects of
poverty.
Single mothers and their efforts to raise and educate children. What can we
learn from them and what political/ social/ economical changes are needed
to be made.
The invisible faces of poverty: women and low self esteem.
Analyzing the differences between young/ old women and poverty. How age is
affecting women's economical life (in your community/ country).
