Book Description
The Managed Body productively complicates ‘menstrual hygiene management’ (MHM)—a growing social movement to support menstruating girls in the Global South. Bobel offers an invested critique of the complicated discourses of MHM including its conceptual and practical links with the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) development sector, human rights and ‘the girling of development.’ Drawing on analysis of in-depth interviews, participant observations and the digital materials of NGOs and social businesses, Bobel shows how MHM frames problems and solutions to capture attention and direct resources to this highly-tabooed topic. She asserts that MHM organizations often inadvertently rely upon weak evidence and spectacularized representations to make the claim of a ‘hygienic crisis’ that authorizes rescue. And, she argues, the largely product-based solutions that follow fail to challenge the social construction of the menstrual body as dirty and in need of concealment. While cast as fundamental to preserving girls’ dignity, MHM prioritizes ‘technological fixes’ that teach girls to discipline their developing bodies vis a vis consumer culture, a move that actually accommodates more than it resists the core problem of menstrual stigma.

Book Description
The constitutional and legislative framework within the Southern African Development Community provides a positive institutional environment to ensure mainstreaming gender concerns. However, the translation and implementation of the gender perspective is at times lacking. Both agenda setting as an instrument of change management and reorganisation procedures are not used enough in the fields of economy, organisation and health. These three areas are crucial partly due to their interconnectivity and also because of their vital importance to the successful sustainable development of SADC nation. This volume results from the findings of a conference hosted by the Institute of Women and Gender Studies, Kiel, and the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies, Pretoria.

Book Description
Women around the world are dealing with hormone and menstrual problems; evidence linking high levels of menstrual distress to harmful health effects continues to emerge. Premenstrual, or late luteal, menstrual misery is quite frequent, with many women reporting physiological and psychological symptoms linked with it. Additionally, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle have been linked to a variety of unpleasant mental and physical symptoms. Further study on the many challenges and health concerns associated with menstrual and premenstrual distress is required to provide women with appropriate support and treatment. Perspectives on Coping Strategies for Menstrual and Premenstrual Distress sheds light on the various distress tolerance approaches and coping strategies during menstrual and premenstrual phases and highlights some of the contemporary issues and problems faced by women in today’s era. Covering key topics such as alternative medicine, stressors, menstrual health, and cognitive coping, this reference work is ideal for healthcare professionals, nurses, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Drawing on research and micro-level studies of the implementation of gender and human rights principles and laws in Africa, Europe and Asia, this comparative text addresses the failure to deliver projected human rights benefits and protections to individuals on the ground, at state, regional and international levels. Together, the chapters constitute a concerted effort to build a responsive human rights approach ?from below and within'.
