Gender needs. The roles of men and women in existing societies and institutions are generally different. Thus, their needs vary accordingly. Two types of needs are usually identified practical needs and strategic needs. Practical needs arise from the actual conditions which women and men experience because of the gender roles assigned to them in society. Strategic needs are the needs required to overcome the subordinate position of women to men in society, and relate to the empowerment of women. They vary according to the particular social, economic, and political context in which they are formulated.

  • Social Psychology
CONT

Thirty years ago, feminist psychology tended to emphasize a relatively narrow focus on sex and gender constructs, which were embedded in somewhat simplistic conceptualizations about the diversity of women. More recent models attend to the intersections among multiple identities(e. g. race, culture, sexual orientation), and set forth the need for a transnational perspective.

CONT

Voilà 30 ans, la psychologie féministe tendait à privilégier une vision relativement étroite axée sur des construits sexuels qu'encadraient des concepts plutôt simplistes de la diversité des femmes. Les modèles les plus récents intéressent les points de jonction des identités multiples (p. ex. race, culture, orientation sexuelle) et font valoir la nécessité d'une perspective transnationale.
