Features: Gender theory is a Western feminist theory concerning the social status and role of women, with the aim of "promoting gender equality and justice, and achieving harmonious development between the two genders." This book is a collection on gender theory, divided into three sections: theoretical analysis, theoretical practice, and practical summary. Based on field investigations of the Naxi, Miao, Zhuang, and other ethnic groups in southwestern China, it records and reflects on the processes of action and research in recent years in the fields of gender system studies in minority communities, gender-sensitive technology development and dissemination, gender and population mobility, and gender training. This book serves as both a witness to the growth of non-governmental organizations in China and a crystallization of the personal efforts of the group members. We hope that the Yunnan GAD Group can renew itself daily, strive for greater heights, and make more contributions to the advancement and elevation of gender theory and practice in China.
