2. Second generation – approach empirical situations with 'gendered lenses'. → develop own
research program. - 5Structural ViolenceThe violence done to people when their basic need are not met.
- 6Myth of ProtectionWidespread myth of men as protectors and women as protected. Myth that men fight wars to protect the vulnerable, usually women and children. Women's presumed status as innocent civilians makes it harder for them, by defining them as protected without regard for their actual safety.
- 7Double/Triple BurdenWomen carry most of the responsibility for household labour and unpaid community work. → unremunerated(unpaid) labour has rarely been a concern of economic analysis.
