The status of women in business and trade in China
Vladovičová, Lenka ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Klosová, Anna (referee)
This bachelors thesis deals with the status of women in Chinese society, as well as in business and commercial matters. The overall approach to women is closely linked to traditional values of Confucianism, which is an important part of everyday life of ordinary Chinese. However these unseemly traditions from Chinese history still exist. A large percentage of women are struggling with various forms of discrimination, in their education process or in personal career. Working conditions for women are often worse than for men who are still more preferred in the Chinese society. Contributed to many factors, starting from China's strict one-child policy to family status, when a man is seen as the head of the family making livelihood not only for his wife and children but also for his parents. This work focuses on the alarming level of living of Chinese women, mostly in the villages, where they live in very poor family conditions, they have minimum access to education and zero possibility to build a career. At the end of my work I described one case of successful Chinese women -- an entrepreneur, who managed to fulfill her dream of her own company. The methodology of this thesis is based on an analysis of literature and my own experience. Personally, I took part in the exhibition China Fish 2010 in Beijing that made my view on this issue wider.

Gender aspects of African Development
Kolcunová, Petra ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
Trade liberalization has different impacts on groups of individuals in the society. Some of them improve their situation, the other ones get worse. Due to the existing gender inequali-ties the distribution of benefits from trade liberalization between women and men is dis-proportional. The paper indentifies main areas, in which are the gender inequalities the most significant. African women are limited in their access to education, productive resources and to technologies, but also to the means of financing. These limits prevent women from full participation in trade and therefore also in economic growth of the country. The creation of new jobs in export-oriented sectors presents the main contribution of trade liberalization for African women. The income they are getting form those jobs are usually used to finance the education and health care for children, that is why their quality of life may improve. The paper concentrates on the reciprocal relation between liberalization and gender equality, which is demonstrated on the status of women in trade and in export-oriented sectors.

Representation of the women in the politics: the case study of The Czech Republic
Pozlovská, Zuzana ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
The thesis is about the representation of the women in the politics, especially in The Czech Republic. The goal is to answer on the question, if this approach depends on the position of the political party on the ideological left-right spectrum. First the thesis is focused on the development of the women's position in the society since the 18th century and on the women's right struggle within feminism. The second part of thesis presents the methods, which support the women's political activity. The last capture analyzes the approach to the women in politics of seven political parties, which won the seat in the Chamber of Deputies in Parliament of The Czech Republic in the years 2006 and 2010. It compares their approach to policy of equal gender representation in the party's documents and in the reality. The result of the analysis is that the power of the party is more important than its position on left-right spectrum in the approach to women. The more powerful party is the less opportunities have the women in politics.

Development of gender´s policy in the area of Evropean Union and its prediction
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Magdalena
Gender equality is a very important social value, which has a long-lasting tradition in European Union and it is a necessary condition for the achievement of its goals. This thesis deals with the topic of women representation in politics, particularly in European Parliament and national parliaments in European Union. The fact that women have found their way into European Parliament is evident. In 1979 only 17% of all parliament members were women and nowadays they represent more than one third of all members of the Parliament ? 35%. The representation of women in national parliaments is lower than in European Parliament and it differs in particular countries. In 2000 the representation of women in national politics reached 18,3 %. Throughout various periods no decline has been registered and in 2010 the representation of women in national politics reached 23,6 %. The comparison of the development of the representation of women in politics according to the state systems is interesting. Concerning national parliaments, the best results have been achieved in European kingdoms. The optional partial quotas are employed to increase the representation of women in politics within the frame of European Union. The long-term goals have been set to indicate further development and criteria that should have been achieved. The present idea is to reach at least 25% representation of women in national parliaments in all member states.

Counseling for women in climacteric.
GALLASOVÁ, Martina
Climacterium is a period of the woman´s life when it comes, little by little, to the loss of the ovary function. The begin of this period is different with individual women and may be affected by some factors, as for instance by experienced illnesses, nourishment condition or by family disposition. Symptomatology of the diseases connected with climactorium may be various, but it need not appear with all women to the full extent. Therefore, the consulting service is very important for the women in the period of climacterium. A woman well informed about the possible menopausal symptoms, about medical or alternative possibilities concerning the influence of undesirable menopausal diseases and also the precautionary programmes preventing the development of heavy illnesses will be better prepared for the coming climacterium and will be able to live this period of life in equanimity and piece. The theoretic part of the work provides basic information about the problems of climacterium. It deals with the explication of the term climacterium, its individual phases, with etiopatogenesis and endocrinology of menopause, with symptomatology, diagnostics, therapy and with the style of life in the climacterium period. In the practical part, the informedness level of women concerning the climacterium problems was examined.

The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore
MEZEROVÁ, Veronika
As the title itself suggests, the bachelor´s work called The Sonnenfels´ weekly moral women´s magazine Theresie und Eleonore pursues a weekly moral magazine Theresie und Eleonore issued in 1767, 1773 and 1784. Its author Joseph von Sonnenfels was a jurist of the Enlightenment, a reformer and an intellectual. Theresie und Eleonore is one of his lesser-known magazines which was considered a women´s magazine and describing the women´s world. The main characters are named after Sonnenfels´ wife and her sister Eleonore. Initially the magazine had been regarded as a work of two women - the main characters. Later, Sonnenfels owned up to his work. The constituent parts of my work are the author of the magazine, the form of particular copies and the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship. His life and work is set into the cultural context of his time and Theresie und Eleonore is shown as a typical example of the Enlightenment era. The following chapter concentrates on particular editions of the magazine which was published three times in three slightly different editions in the 18th century. The chapter examines the forms of individual issues and their differences. The last part of my work pursues the Sonnenfels´ fictitious authorship which is especially interesting in the fact that the authors were supposedly women. The particular elements of the fictitious authorship are analysed in the order as they were set by Sonnenfels. It concerns the fictitious characters, letters and narration.
