Injection: A Gender Swap Story (Gender Swap Stories)

Mr Gove added: "It became a sort of Mary Poppins bag into which different prime ministers will shove things in which they believe should be dealt with by the government nanny." As the families of abducted Israelis endure an agonising wait to see if their loved ones will be able to return, excitement is also growing for Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank that their imprisoned loved ones may also be coming home. Mr Gove says Boris Johnson "made clear" that his role was to "lead on preparations for Brexit, and in particular preparations for a potential no-deal scenario". Michael Gove said the Cabinet Office became a "Mary Poppins bag" of a department, where prime ministers would "shove" issues that didn't have a home elsewhere in Whitehall. The brief highlights a paradigm shift in the narrative on gender and climate change. While the specific vulnerabilities of women to climate impacts have intensified, there is also greater awareness of women’s unique strengths and crucial roles in adaptation efforts.

UN Climate Change underscores the importance of recognizing the differentiated impacts of climate change, while also leveraging the unique strengths and perspectives of diverse groups to build resilient and effective adaptation strategies. The minister said the department "acquired additional responsibilities" both before he took it on and during his tenure. Israel has vowed to restart its war effort, launched in response to the Hamas killings of 1,200 Israelis on 7 October, after the initial goal of 50 out of 238 hostages are released. Before this, he says it is a "feature" of the nature of government "that you can make observations about the weaknesses that you discern in other parts of government".Principal Nicholas Sampson said he had seen a doubling in interest in enrolments since the school announced its plans last year — from boys and girls. Within the government-run system, there are some brilliant single-sex schools that are still operating at capacity, doing really well and getting great results. The Minns government has made co-education a priority, by proposing to redraw intake boundaries so every child is in the catchment of a co-ed high school by 2027. Israel has a history of agreeing to asymmetric prisoner swaps: in 2011, Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, returned home after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip in exchange for 1,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails. Toys are one thing, but traits are also prone to gendered stereotyping. Parents of boys often talk about how they are more boisterous and enjoy rougher play, while girls are more gentle and meek. The evidence suggests otherwise.

Barker College, in Hornsby on Sydney's north shore, was the city's first independent school to move to a co-educational senior school in 1975. Many are held in administrative detention, which allows for pre-emptive arrest, on secret evidence, and six-month extendable stints in prison without charge or trial.According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society, 7,200 prisoners are being held by Israel, among them 88 women and 250 children aged 17 and under. The plight of prisoners is a key issue for Palestinians: at least four in 10 Palestinian men spend at least some time in their life in Israeli prisons. Ever since it was possible to identify biological sex from a scan, one of the first questions asked of prospective parents is whether they are having a boy or a girl. Before then, the shape and size of a bump has been used to guess the sex, despite there being no evidence this works. More subtle are the different words we use to describe boys and girls, even for the exact same behaviour. Throw gendered toys into the mix and this reinforces the subtle traits and hobbies that are already assigned to male and female. He said the transition had been a joy to watch — particularly as he saw boys push themselves academically to keep up with their newer peers. At this year’s UN Climate Change Conference, COP 28, UN Women will ensure that women and girls’ rights, abilities, and needs are taken into account in climate debates and incorporated into government policies.

Bhungroo, a gender-just climate solutions award-winning project, is a rainwater harvesting technology developed in Gujarat, India, supporting women in self-help groups respond to recurring droughts and floods that affect agricultural land. She was accused of causing further confusion in August 2020 by claiming the evidence on face coverings "is not very strong in either direction".

As countries look to transition their economies away from fossil fuel extraction and other harmful environmental practices, it will be essential to ensure that the benefits of these changes are fairly distributed, ensuring gender-responsive transitions that prioritize the rights of women. Studies also show that girls who are heavily into princesses are more concerned with their appearance and more likely to "self-objectify – so they think of themselves as a sexual object," says Maas. The girls that scored highest on "sexualised gender stereotypes" also downplayed traits associated with intelligence. Early on, both girls and boys have been shown to view attractiveness as " incompatible with intelligence and competence" a study found.

Referring to students by their surnames, for example. Or, for instance, is there a safe and comfortable place for boys and for girls to sit and talk?" Hugo Keith, counsel for the inquiry, begins his questioning of Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove with questions about his ministerial roles throughout the COVID pandemic. He claimed at an earlier part of the inquiry that preparation for Brexit helped the UK prepare for the COVID crisis. Ahead of COP 28, UN Women and partners—including the Offices of the President of COP 28, the UN Climate Change High Level Champion, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat, International Union for Conservation of Nature, and Women's Environment and Development Organization—will convene a conference to highlight the importance of gender-specific environment data and to ensure that leaders at COP 28 forge policies that take women and girls into account. It's therefore worth remembering why people are conditioned to think that boys are more boisterous and take note of the times this is not true. My daughter is certainly just as loud – if not more so – as her brother, while he also loves pretending to cook. While these are not necessarily representative examples, they also don't fit into our ideas of what boys and girls like. It would be easy for me to otherwise have highlighted my son's propensity to climb on everything and my daughter's preference for pink, glossing over the numerous times she plays with cars and he with dolls.

The ceasefire deal includes a clause stipulating that for every 10 hostages that come home safely, there will be an additional day in which fighting is paused, up to a total of 10 days, and three times as many Palestinians in Israeli jails released. In fact, studies show that our own expectations tend to frame how we view others and ourselves. Parents have attributed gender neutral angry faces as boys while happy and sad faces are labelled as girls. Mothers are more likely to emphasise their boys' physical attributes – even setting more adventurous targets for boys than for girls. They also over-estimate crawling abilities for their sons compared to daughters, despite there being no reported physical difference. So, people's own biases could be influencing their children, and so reinforcing these stereotypes. The YouGov poll of more than 2,000 adults also found that an estimated 8% of the population - around four million people - will be relying on credit to cover their costs over the festive period. When we consider physiological responses to situations that might invoke empathy, women and men actually respond the same, it's just that from an early age, women have been socialised to act upon this apparently feminine emotion more.
