Dealing with Gender-based violence at Universities : an example from the Faculty of Law of Charles University
Andreska, Zuzana ; Friedel, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of addressing gender-based violence in the academic environment at the institutional level as an emerging agenda of university administration. Gender-based violence takes various forms, ranging from normalized verbal expressions based on gender stereotypes (psychological violence), gender-based discrimination (economic violence), sexual harassment to sexual coercion or rape (sexualized violence). As such, gender-based violence constitutes an obstacle to the fulfilment of the functions of universities and has an increased negative impact on access to education for marginalised groups of students. Using a case study method, this paper examines what solutions to gender-based violence have been adopted at the Faculty of Law of Charles University as of June 2022 and how the institutional solutions are reflected by those involved in their development. The theoretical contribution of the analysis of the process of institutional norm creation through the perspective of socio-legal studies and feminist critique of law lies in the identification of several types of resistances to fulfilling the obligation to create a safe learning and working environment by regulating gender-based violence as a type of undesirable social behaviour through internal regulations. These are...

Fajmonová, Veronika ; Huck, Averil ; Andreska, Zuzana ; Dvořáčková, Jana ; Linková, Marcela ; Struzińska, K. ; Strid, S. ; Hearn, J. ; Husu, L. ; Allori, A. ; Wuiame, N.
The objective of this report is to establish a European baseline of policies in place to combat Gender-Based Violence (GBV) at the legal, policy level and the level of research funding organisations (RFO), as a fixed point of reference for future comparisons, by assessing existing laws and policies at the national and RFO levels in 27 countries in the EU. This is accompanied by analyses of four Associated Countries (Iceland, Serbia, Turkey, UK) and two Third Countries (Canada, USA) that were selected for comparison and as examples of existing practices. The analysis focuses specifically on dedicated legal and policy frameworks focused specifically on universities and research organisations, in order to map the special efforts made by national and regional authorities and RFOs to combat GBV at these specific institutions beyond generic anti-discrimination legislation and labour law protections.\n
Community property - illusion or reality? The allowance model through the eyes of women
Andreska, Zuzana ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
This diploma thesis concerns the issue of economic autonomy of women in marriage in light of the legal institute of community property. The thesis touches upon the relationship between reproductive and productive labour in today's society and its impact on economic autonomy of women. Using the method of feminist in-depth interview, the author analyses the phenomena of allowance system, which is related to the women's exit from the labour market. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the economic autonomy of women through uncovering of mechanisms of the emergence, sustaining and rationalisation of the allowance system. The thesis' contribution stems from its analysis of the functioning of allowance system, which is specific for the control men have over family finances. As such, the allowance system deviates from the imperative of solidarity between spouses, which is legally embedded in the institute of community property. The conclusion of the thesis is that the perception of family as a solidary institution which functions on the basis of altruism is an example of ignorance of power hierarchy within families. As a result of this conclusion it is necessary to solve economic autonomy of women on the level of the society as a whole, not on the family level, by making reproductive and productive...
