Feminism developed in Serbia through different periods - in the pre-communist period, feminist groups advocated for equality and moral codes but were largely ignored. During communism, feminist scholarship and critiques emerged and women gained rights like anti-nationalism and voting. As Yugoslavia broke apart in the 1990s due to war and "ethnic cleansing", feminist groups like Women for Peace and Mothers' Protest organized against violence while others like Women in Black memorialized victims through protest. Today, some feminist groups continue operating but searches for others found no current information.

Part of a four-part series funded by the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe that looks at Jewish life in east-central Europe since the collapse of communism, the Ukraine report calls for the development of a common organisational framework to bring together the various Jewish communities throughout the country; support from international foundations to enable the Jewish community to become less dependent on external sources of financial support; and a more inclusive policy on Jewish status issues given the high levels of intermarriage in the country.
In addition, the report stresses the need for enhancements in the field of Jewish education, with a particular emphasis on increasing the number of trained teachers and educators, and access to better quality Russian and Ukrainian-language educational materials. Given the extraordinary history of Jewish life in the country, the recommendations also push for the preservation of this heritage and the utilisation of it for community development purposes.
The report also explores the issue of antisemitism in Ukraine, and calls for the establishment of a centre to monitor antisemitic incidents, and to liaise with government, the police and security services to counter it.
The research was conducted by community activist and doctoral student Darina Privalko under the advice of Dr Betsy Gidwitz, a former Soviet-area specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Versions of the report are also available in Ukrainian and Russian.
Contains unique data by the research respondents - key players in creation of Jewish community life in Ukraine; as well as contact info of Jewish community organizations.

Women's emancipation: Women gained some degree of freedom from patriarchal control.
Reformation of Hinduism: An important part of the Renaissance was the reformation of Hinduism.
Introduction of scientific concepts: The English invasion introduced Indians to scientific concepts and liberalism.
Translation of Indian scriptures: European traders translated and revived Indian scriptures, such as the Vedas and epics.
The Indian Renaissance laid the foundation for a united and self-aware India, and contributed to the struggle for independence and the formation of a modern Indian nation.
Some leaders of the Indian Renaissance include Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Annie Besant, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Virchand Gandhi, and Baba Amte.

This document summarizes a presentation about women's involvement in the Solidarity movement in Poland during the communist era and the consequences after the transition to democracy. It notes that while women made up 45% of Solidarity members and played important underground roles, the movement and post-1989 government were male-dominated. After 1989, women faced economic deprivation, a rejection of feminism, and restrictions to abortion rights due to the restoration of patriarchal values and the influence of the Catholic Church. The presentation examines why women's contributions to overthrowing communism were not reflected in equal rights and representation after the change to democracy.
Aleksandra Kollontai was a prominent Bolshevik revolutionary and feminist in Russia in the early 20th century. She advocated for gender equality, women's rights, and socialist ideals. Some of her contributions include establishing International Women's Day and championing reproductive rights, paid maternity leave, and affordable childcare. As a diplomat, she was the world's first female ambassador and worked to strengthen relations between the Soviet Union and other countries. Kollontai's ideas and activism had a significant impact on feminist and socialist movements during her lifetime.
This document discusses the concept of "Early Modernity" and attempts to define its time period and key characteristics. It notes that while Renaissance writers saw themselves as modern, historians later separated "Early Modern" from the 19th century "Modern" period. Generally, Early Modernity refers to the 15th-18th centuries in Western Europe and other regions, marked by substantial changes including state formation, economic growth, social mobility, and cultural flourishing prior to industrialization and democratization. However, applying this concept is problematic for some societies.
This document summarizes the changing role of women in India throughout history. It discusses how women had a prominent position and equal status to men in ancient times, but their status declined during the medieval period under Muslim rule. However, some women still excelled in various fields. In modern independent India, women have achieved high political offices like President and Prime Minister, and now participate in all aspects of society and the economy. However, issues around women's education and economic development remain.
