“…The eight inclusion articles elaborate on the factors supporting and hindering women's career aspirations in Asia, which the researcher divides into four types of factors, namely internal enabler factors, external enabler factors, internal barrier factors, and external barrier factors. There are eight articles that mention internal enabler factors, which consist of selfefficacy (Raj et al, 2019;Cairns & Dickson, 2021), career orientation (Raj et al, 2019;Somaiah et al, 2020;Cairns & Dickson, 2021;Martins et al, 2022, Sellami et al, 2023, ability and knowledge (Raj et al, 2019;Grace & Eng, 2020;Cairns & Dickson, 2021), the need to be useful (Martins et al, 2022;Almukhambetova et al, 2023), the desire for family cohesion (Somaiah et al, 2020), and quality marriage prospects expectations (Husain, 2021;Martins et al, 2022).…”

“…The people of Assam, India, hold a cultural value that girls who are highly educated and successful in their careers will improve the image and dignity of the family, which will also increase girls' hopes for quality marriage prospects (Husain, 2021). In addition, research by Martins et al (2022) also shows something similar, that one of the factors motivating students in Pakistan to pursue a career in medicine is the prospect of a better marriage (Martins et al, 2022).…”

Women in Asia still experiencing difficulties in flourishing their career aspirations optimally due to strong cultural perspectives. This systematic literature review aims to explore the factors that influence Asian women’s career aspirations in various cultural settings. PRISMA 2018 was used in this study. Through Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springer, and Ebsco Host databases, we found eight articles that met the inclusion criteria after passing the article selection. This study resulted women’s career aspirations in Asia are influenced by internal enabler factors (including self-efficacy, career orientation, abilities and knowledge, need for usefulness, desire for family cohesion, and marriage prospects expectation), external enabler factors (including education, social support, contextual support, and cultural support), internal barrier factors (including fear of marriage prospects, beliefs on choice restrictions, and awareness of domestic roles), and external barrier factors (including social pressure, gender stereotype, peer conformity, financial hardship, and career consequences). Future research to examine women’s career aspirations in the wider cultural setting of various countries in Asia is needed.

“…Arab society is generally more conservative and also more collectivist, although in recent years it has undergone numerous changes, including greater emphasis on the individual advancement together with a gradual distancing from the collective and its values (Al-Malki et al, 2012). Nevertheless, Arab society remains traditional and conservative (Hussain, 2020) As far as sex education is concerned, in Arab society, parents are responsible for inculcating in their children the norms of proper sexual conduct. Parents, however, are not as open with their children on this topic as parents in the Jewish community typically are (Sigad & Tener, 2022; Sinai & Shehade, 2019).…”

A Qualitative Examination of School Counselors’ Experiences of Sextortion Cases of Female Students in Israel

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sextortion (a portmanteau of “sexual” and “extortion”) is a relatively new phenomenon of sexual exploitation, which occurs when a person threatens another with the distribution of sexual content on the Internet, to obtain more pictures or videos, money, or have some other demand met. The current study examined how school counselors in Israel perceive the phenomenon of online sextortion. To this end, we conducted a qualitative study based on 20 semi-structured in-depth interviews with school counselors working in middle schools and high schools in Israel, who treated adolescent girls blackmailed over the Internet on sexual grounds. Findings indicate that the school counselors had difficulty in identifying and defining the cases they treated as instances of sextortion, and that in their view the harm was slight. Findings also indicate that school counselors associated the causes of sextortion with the victims and their backgrounds. We found differences between the Arab and secular and national-religious state education in the way Jewish counselors treated the victims and involved additional actors such as the victim’s parents and the police. This underscores the importance of providing educational staff with adequate knowledge and tools that are culturally suited to the victims.

“…Such discourses undermine the cause of gender equality; a top priority alongside education, embedded in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. Hussain (2020) argues that both education and gender equality in India are mediated through an idealised middle class through the concept of 'respectable femininity'. This pervasive ideology often represents Muslims as a homogenous group driven only by their religious identity and portrayed as oppositional to women's empowerment.…”

The articles in this themed issue explore global educational experiences that embrace various cultures, traditions, religions and identities. Collectively this work offers valuable insights into unexplored areas of research, illuminating issues that intersect across race, ethnicity and gender. The significance of these studies lies in the solutions, centred on social justice, that reflect resistance, activism and innovation harnessed in response to the problems discussed. This collection helps to bridge the divide between north and south in the academic world, demonstrating that answers to educational inequalities can be found in models for transformation both within and beyond the western hemisphere.
