“…Burns, Schlozman & Verba, 2001;Taylor &Whittier, 1998;Scott, 1992). Despite the fact that CSOs are often presented as one of the most important vectors for civic participation, social cohesion and local development (Putnam, 1993), barring rare exceptions the issues of power and inequality in the logics operating at their core have failed to attract significant sociological attention (Flahault & Guardiola, 2009;Fillieule & Roux, 2009). The few researches that have been conducted into the gendered dimension of the separation and hierarchical organization of activities and responsibilities in CSOs point out a gendered division of responsibilities and activities, giving rise to a degree of male hierarchy and domination (Dunezat, 2009).…”

This article explores the gender dimension of young people participation in Tunisian civil society organizations (CSOs) that emerged largely after the 2011 "revolution". The main aims are, first, to provide information on the Tunisian context; second, to characterize this new activism marked by a large participation of young women; and, third, to identify whether there are elements typical of a gender division of positions, responsibilities and activism work. The Tunisian case is very interesting because political transitions are crucial moments for women's rights and associations. Based on two surveys, we put forward the hypothesis that inequality between men and women in the allocation of responsibilities will increase or decrease depending on the degree of gender inequality in the possession of skills and resources (educational, linguistic, socio-economic) and previous experiences of associative socialization. After outlining the national context, we find that the profiles, resources and socialization of activists are relatively homogeneous. However, while women and men gain access to positions of responsibility with some equality via elections to the executive bodies of CSOs, male leadership prevails in ad hoc activities that grant greater individual public recognition and leadership.

Drawing on a recent national survey, this article focuses on the female representation on executive committees in French voluntary associations. To begin with, we observe that this representation is very unequal according to the different officer positions. It is especially low among presidents while it is markedly higher among secretaries. Then, we study the relationship between the associations' attributes and the likelihood of women being appointed as executive committee members. Our investigation bears out some findings from previous studies on nonprofit female leadership. For instance, we show that the proportion of female officers is higher in organizations whose activities pertain to social service, health, and humanitarian sectors. It is lower in the oldest associations and it decreases as their geographical area of activity increases and as their budget becomes larger. But we also emphasize new results. First, the probabilities that women hold president, treasurer and secretary positions are highly correlated to each other. Second, the likelihood that associations have female presidents is higher in associations with few volunteers. We consider possible explanations for the latter result.Résumé S'appuyant sur une récente enquête nationale, cette étude s'intéresse à la représentation des femmes au sein des bureaux dans les associations françaises. Tout d'abord, nous constatons que cette représentation est très inégale selon le poste L. Prouteau (d'administratrice occupé. Elle est particulièrement faible pour les présidentes et sensiblement plus importante parmi les secrétaires. Nous étudions ensuite la relation entre les caractéristiques des associations et la probabilité pour les femmes d'être nommées en tant que membres du comité exécutif. Notre enquête confirme certains résultats de précédentes études sur l'exercice de responsabilités par les femmes dans le secteur non lucratif. Par exemple, nous montrons que la proportion de femmes administratrices est plus élevée au sein des organisations dont les activités se rapportent à des services sociaux et de santé, ainsi qu'au secteur humanitaire. Elle est plus faible dans les associations les plus anciennes et diminue à mesure que leur zone géographique d'activité s'étend et que leur budget est plus important. Nous mettons également en évidence de nouveaux résultats. Premièrement, les chances des femmes à occuper les postes de présidente, de trésorière et de secrétaire sont fortement liées entre elles. Deuxièmement, la probabilité que les associations aient des femmes présidentes est plus forte dans les associations composées de peu de bénévoles. Nous tentons d'expliquer ce dernier résultat.Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag konzentriert sich auf die Repräsentation von Frauen in Vorständen französischer gemeinnütziger Verbände, wobei er sich auf eine kürzlich durchgeführte landesweite Befragung stützt. Zunächst beobachten wir bei den unterschiedlichen Vorstandspositionen eine sehr ungleiche Repräsentation. Frauen führen sehr selten den Vorsitz, während sie jedoc...
