“…LGBT rights organisations and initiatives are not supported institutionally by the State and are subject to attacks. The downplaying and harassment have intensified over the past years, due to fostered political discourse against 'gender ideology', which is widespread in the CEE region and beyond (Korolczuk & Graff, 2018;Kováts, 2018;Rawłuszko, 2019). Recently, more explicit articulation of homophobia by state officials in many countries can be seen, while social attitudes are undergoing intensified polarisation.…”

Introduction The intersection of non-heterosexuality, gender, and disability became a prolific field of research among both queer, crip, and disability studies scholars, though focusing mainly on Western regions. In the paper discusses how women narrate their experiences in relation to ableist and heteronormative regimes in the context of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The case study of Poland, a country characterized by institutionalization, lack of individualized disability support, and state homophobia contributes to a growing body of research on non-western sexuality and disability studies. Methods We conducted interviews with 11 non-heterosexual disabled women living in Poland. Results By tackling care regimes, our analysis explores women’s experiences in the context of discursive confusions resulting from being at the intersection of often-contradictory local narrations on gender, disability, and sexuality. We identified three intertwined processes to understand how care regimes work in Poland: (1) the separateness between queer and disabled policies and discourses, (2) the coopting/obscuring of homosexual relations between women by category of care, and (3) familiarisation of care and its consequences for non-heterosexuality. Policy Implication We suggest that social support systems must better address the needs of non-heterosexual women with disabilities which are profoundly impacted by structural, political, and cultural constraints and possibilities.

“…O desenho institucional gera restrições que afetam em maior ou menor grau a presença das mulheres no primeiro escalão de governo. Rawłuszko (2019) considera que a necessidade de um primeiro-ministro de manter um voto de confi ança no parlamento em contraposição a maior estabilidade dos sistemas presidencialistas na preservação do mandato tende a permitir aos presidentes mais liberdade em fazer nomeações para o gabinete do que os primeiros-ministros.…”

O artigo analisa a igualdade de gênero em cargos ministeriais a partir do banco de dados da ONU sobre o recrutamento de mulheres para o primeiro escalão de governo. Nosso objetivo é medir o grau de prestígio das pastas considerando a classificação proposta por Escobar-Lemmon e Taylor-Robinson. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que a maior parte dos postos chefiados por mulheres sejam de baixa visibilidade. O resultado apontou que os ministérios mais relevantes continuam sendo comandados por homens e que as mulheres ocupam pastas temáticas de baixo prestígio.

“…Second, it sheds light on one of the most understudied aspects of women's descriptive representation -the characteristics of women promoted through gender quotas -thereby contributing to theories of women's representation and institutional change. Third, it seeks to connect evidence on women's descriptive representation in the local councils of Albania with larger debates on quota adoption in CEE -a region where gender backlash has been on the rise during recent years (Rawłuszko, 2019).…”

Electoral gender quotas are among the most contested policies worldwide. A common criticism is that quotas promote undeserving women and therefore undermine the meritocracy. Although criticism persists, paradoxically, it has rarely been subject to empirical testing in Central and Eastern European countries. The objective of the present study is to address this gap by examining the characteristics of a randomly selected sample of 410 representatives in the local councils of Albania. By comparing the councillors across demographic characteristics, political experience, and ties in politics, I show that quotas have promoted a diverse group of women, who, compared to men, are more educated, younger, and more likely to live in rural areas. While the practice of relying on family or kinship ties to advance in local politics is more common among women than among men, differences were not found between women promoted through gender quotas and their non-quota female colleagues. The present findings call into question the assumptions that surround gender quotas, suggesting greater use of evidence to challenge popular perceptions and beliefs.
