“…The study highlights the patriarchal power inequality in Banyankole society, where men are considered to have absolute authority over their families, and women are expected to submit to this authority. This concept of male dominance is not unique to the Banyankole but has been observed in many traditional societies worldwide (Choi et al, 2021;Pierik, 2022). The finding agrees with Wyrod (2008) that patriarchal powers remain prevalent amidst promotion of women's rights.…”

The study on social cultural practices and fertility behaviour among Banyankole families was carried out in Sheema Municipality, Sheema District, Uganda. The purpose of the study was to examine the reproductive related cultural practices prevalent among the Banyankole, determine the fertility motivators, examine the socio cultural influence on fertility bahaviour and determine the linkages between the socio-cultural practices and fertility behaviour among women and men living in Sheema Municipality. Participants were women and men aged 18 and above living in Sheema Municipality who identified themselves as belonging to the Banyankole ethnic group of Uganda. This paper presents cultural aspects shaping fertility experiences in the area especially enshrined within gender norms and conservative traditionalism of rites and rituals, superstition, perceived mortality risks, extended family system, and foster parenting. The article situates fertility behaviours within the emerging cultural transformational environment with increased education, urbanization and advanced technology. The Study concludes that socio-cultural practices have strong influence on proximate determinants of fertility and thus the resultant fertility behavioral outcomes.

“…Throughout this process, changes occur in the roles of women in the social structure and in power dynamics ( Hierro, 1994 ). Patriarchy refers to a comprehensive system that encompasses male dominance prevailing in every aspect of social life and the dominance established over women ( Pierik, 2022 ).

Gender inequality is a phenomenon that is particularly prevalent in the culinary profession and professional culinary within the tourism sector, especially affecting female employees. The current study is approached in the context of the patriarchal societal structure and the unique characteristics of gender in the labor market in Turkey. In this regard, this study focuses on the views and opinions regarding gender inequality of undergraduate students in gastronomy and culinary arts programs and, associate degree in vocational cooking programs who have previously worked and/or interned in the professional culinary within the tourism sector in Turkey. For this purpose, a quantitative research method has been employed in the study. In order to reveal detailed insights into participants’ evaluations, open-ended questions have also been included in the survey form. The quantitative findings from the study emphasized the importance of issues such as “the approach of managers,” “working hours,” and “promotion pathways” among the situations that cause gender inequality. The importance of “an equal and fair approach to employees,” and “being kind and considerate to staff” were highlighted as essential qualities for being a good leader/head chef. Important factors in supporting the career of female chefs were identified as “equal pay for equal work,” and “ensuring job safety.” Findings obtained from open-ended questions have revealed that female employees are more exposed to gender inequality in the profession. In this context, issues such as “unequal pay, promotion, and working conditions,” “harassment,” “lack of recognition for female employees in the professional culinary,” and “the effects of patriarchal norms” were highlighted. The study contains important findings that can contribute to increasing the representation of female employees in professional culinary within the tourism sector, improving the productivity and competitiveness of businesses, and addressing gender inequality in society.

Patriarchal culture continues to grow in modernity. Women’s struggles have been applied in various aspects and the digital space has now become a social space to break down the male hegemony. Bourdieu's habitus perspective was applied in this study aiming to see how social media becomes a practice environment for the reaffirmation of women as a class that wants to dispose of the social structures. In this case, virtual ethnographic method was applied from January 2022 to December 2022 to analyze the content of female Instagram users as wives and mothers. Social media has become a field in the habitus process. Field is a social space to produce and distribute meaning from the modern women who have individual, family, and social activities. In habitus process, the production and distribution of meaning is the cultural capital of the social media users. There has been patriarchal regression in social media.
