The present thesis develops around the topic of child custody removal among migratised families in Catalonia, Spain. Child custody removal is a common practice from Childcare: it takes place when the State assesses that the best interest of the minor is to remain a part of their family. In 2020, a group of mothers who currently live in Barcelona and have migrated from non-European countries starte

A shift to preventive healthcare could reverse this trend by focusing on improving the living habits of the population. Internet of Things technology has enabled tools
In this research I aimed for grasping an understanding of how community performance projects serve for building communities through bodily assemblies and affect. I conducted an ethnographic research based on two different performance projects in Malmö. I have used participant observation, embodied ethnography and semi-structured interviews as research methods. Doing so, I attempted to comprehend w
Dominant understandings of sexual consent are understood through a heteronormative and dichotomous lens: masculine/active/initiating sexual activity against feminine/passive/responding to sexual activity. Thus, to what extent do sexualities beyond heterosexuality challenge and disrupt this dichotomous framework? To what extent can these sexualities form alternative ways and practises of negotiatin
This theoretical paper will explore the limitations of denaturalization of gender, or more specifically the breakage of the link between maleness and masculinity. Using different examples of female masculinities, but focused on those coupled with lesbian desire, it will be argued that exposing performativity/unnaturalness of gender does not necessarily impact the gender binary - femininity/masculi
The personal is still political as heterosexual romantic relationships are permeated by gender power dynamics. Previous research has shown that men tend to exploit women’s love, appropriate their care, and not reciprocate. This study looks at the impact of feminist values on these established patterns in Switzerland, a country known for being one of the last in western Europe to give women the rig
Önskan att ta risk och analysera nyttan är en av de viktigaste aspekterna som kan beaktas i personliga beslut. Senare studier har visat att den egna uppfattningen om tid och personlighetsdrag påverkar uppfattningen av den upplevda nyttan. I denna studie användes ett frågeformulär av 162 frågor. Frågorna delades in i tre grupper: framtida beslutsscenarier, ett personlighetsformulär och ett formulärWillingness to take risk and analyzing the utility are one of the most important aspects that can be considered in personal decisions. Recent studies have shown that that one’s perception of time and personality traits influence on perception of utilities. In this study a questionnaire with 162 questions was used. Questions were divided into three groups: future decision scenarios, a personality i

This thesis focuses on the experiences of Christian women in the Netherlands regarding their religion, faith and daily lives – especially within the (envisioned) family. Through Bible study discussions and individual interviews, 11 women shared how they navigated the traditional systems at work within each of these spheres, how they negotiated their own understandings of each and how they would ch
Refugee women are particularly at risk of having their sexual and reproductive health and rights compromised due to a high unmet need for contraception. Through fifteen individual interviews in Pagirinya refugee settlement, Northern Uganda, this thesis documents the gendered structures regarding contraceptive usage among South Sudanese refugee women and how they negotiate these structures. The the
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how queer students in Danish upper-secondary schools expe- rience and navigate their school environments and how this is influenced by institutional practices. As such, this thesis adopts a dual perspective on queer students by investigating experiences of and agency within school environments, in the form of how they choose to respond to situations of dis-
Det akuta klimathot som mänskligheten står inför kräver insatser av hela det globala samfundet. Inom den internationella rätten hanteras utsläpp av växthusgaser genom en växelverkan mellan flera olika rättsområden. I ljuset av havens betydelse för planetens klimatreglering spelar den internationella havs-rätten och UNCLOS en viktig roll i att mildra klimatförändringarna. Med utgångspunkt i rättsdoThe urgency of the climate change crisis calls for global efforts. Mitigation of GHG-pollution within international law consists of the interaction of multiple legal areas. Given the importance of the oceans in climate regulation, the international law of the sea and UNCLOS are important in protecting the marine environment. By the use of the legal dogmatic method, the essay seeks to examine the o

Using a single-case study design, the analysis draws on trade data and official state visits as indicators of interdependence and trade-related cooperation. While nominal trade volumes have increased, relati
An exploration of alternative approaches to addressing gender-based violence/harms (GBV/H) as a phenomenon in Ireland and the UK, often articulated as a formation of ‘rape culture’ in its normalisation of these forms of harm and power dynamics, manifesting in social, political and legal spheres. In an attempt to tackle the root causes of GBV/H, this research examines the specific harms through a
The aim of this paper is to research how transitional justice programmes have to this day inadequately addressed gender-based violence by specifically examining the overall framework of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in its goal towards reconciliation as a case study. To gain a thorough analysis on how its framework impacted its inclusion of women’s experiences of conflic
Situated in the context of the global rise of the right and growing anti-feminist and anti-gender mobilization, this thesis explores the impacts of Jair Bolsonaro's right-wing populist government (2019-2022) on feminist activism in Brazil from an activist's perspective. It investigates the shifts and disruptions this government has entailed on three levels: in the realms of social public p
In Italy, ideas surrounding family and motherhood seem to be unveiled as myths rather than values. Despite the historical prominence of these notions within the national political and social agenda, the country's support to families and predominantly female caregivers remains severely inadequate. This insufficiency not only hinders progress in female employment – already one of the lowest in E
This auto-ethnographic study explores the impacts of evangelical purity culture (EPC) on women’s relationship with their body, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual experiences, and the underlying mechanisms that drive these impacts. This work aims to bridge the significant gap in academic literature on women’s lived experiences in EPC. It encourages a thoughtful examination of this culture while
This thesis explores the connection between gender identity and experiences of elections within the Italian sociopolitical context, focusing on the realities of trans* and gender non-conforming individuals.
