Understanding Gender. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Understanding Gender

This book explores gender as a socio-cultural construct shaped by historical, religious, and institutional forces in Arab contexts. Traces the evolution of gender concepts, from ancient civilizations and philosophical roots to modern feminist movements, highlighting how societal norms—not biology—define roles and inequalities between men and women. It emphasizes that gender justice and equality are essential for human development and sustainable progress, advocating for reforms in education, law, and cultural attitudes.Examines Islam’s perspective on gender, clarifying that the religion inherently supports equality and dignity for both sexes, though traditional interpretations have often restricted women’s roles. The work calls for a reexamination of socialization agents such as family, school, religion, and media, which perpetuate stereotypes, urging a transformation toward inclusive education and empowerment. Ultimately, it presents gender equality as a cultural necessity for social justice, not a Western import, but a universal foundation for societal advancement.
