The SIGI 2021 Regional Report for Africa provides regional analysis on how discriminatory social institutions, such as formal and informal laws, social norms and practices, continue to constrain women's empowerment and restrict their access to opportunities and rights. It gives new evidence on the impact of these discriminatory social institutions on three key dimensions of women's empowerment across the region: their physical integrity, their economic situation and their political voice, leadership and agency.

"This book focuses on the development of bilateral Jewish-Muslim relations in London and Amsterdam since the late-1980s. It offers a comparative analysis that considers both similarities and differences, drawing on historical, social scientific and religious studies perspectives. The authors address how Jewish-Muslim relations are related to the historical and contemporary context in which they are embedded, the social identity strategies Jews and Muslims and their institutions employ, and their perceived mutual positions in terms of identity and power. The first section reflects on the history and current profile of Jewish and Muslim communities in London and Amsterdam and the development of relations between Jews and Muslims in both cities. The second section engages with sources of conflict and cooperation. Four specific areas that cause tension are explored: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; antisemitism and Islamophobia; attacks by extremists; and the commemoration of wars and genocides. In addition to 'trigger events', what stands out is the influence of historical factors, public opinion, the 'mainstream' Christian churches and the media, along with the role of government. The volume will be of interest to scholars from fields including religious studies, interfaith studies, Jewish studies, Islamic studies, urban studies, European studies and social sciences as well as members of the communities concerned, other religious communities, journalists, politicians, and teachers who are interested in Jewish-Muslim relations"--

La question aujourd'hui suscite généralement des réponses amères, teintées de nostalgie : enfants gâtés par une civilisation du « tout, tout de suite », enfants rois survalorisés par les médias, enfants irrespectueux ou violents, promis à un avenir à coup sûr plus dur que celui des générations précédentes. Ce livre, à travers une approche pluridisciplinaire et internationale, le prouve à l'envi : les choses sont plus contrastées qu'il n'y paraît. La place de l'enfant a considérablement évolué dans l'histoire : la notion de « droits de l'enfant » - le droit à vivre une enfance digne de ce nom - est désormais acquise, ce qui n'empêche pas les violences nombreuses que nous leur faisons subir, ici ou ailleurs. Pourtant, à travers différents portraits singuliers (« adonaissants », individus à la recherche de leur identité, cybernautes ... ) on découvre, au fil des pages, des jeunes avides de nouvelles solidarités, attachés aux valeurs de la démocratie, prêts à s'engager pour la planète, curieux, adaptables et bien dans leur peau ... Alors, que devons-nous transmettre aux générations futures ? « Des racines et des ailes ! », conclut joliment cet ouvrage qui, sans esquiver les responsabilités des adultes, donne plutôt envie de connaître un avenir ... celui que nous préparent nos enfants.
