As the research went on, the central theoretical concepts were narrowed down to anti-essentialism and feminist intersectionality.\nThe use of strategic essentialism by harnessing the stereotypical notions of women\u2019s roles and their innate good qualities for the wider good is quite common. It is used by women\u2019s organisations in Zambia, internationally, and also in UN agencies working towards gender equality. However, using essentialist notions of gender in advocacy work can be risky because it might result in re- enforcing the already existing notions and stereotypes, and the potential political transformative power goes to waste and no change occurs.\nThe primary data consists of ten (10) semi-structured interviews, conducted in the Southern Province of Zambia in December 2006, three months after the Zambian tri-partite elections, and during my internship with Women for Change (WfC), a Zambian women\u2019s organisation. The secondary data collected and used were advocacy materials developed and used by WfC for the pre-electoral campaign \u201cVote for Women!\u201d, my field notes and four (4) semi-structured interviews with the key people of the Zambian Women\u2019s Movement, and co-coordinators of the electoral campaign. The data was analysed using thematic analysis; within the theoretical framework of anti-essentialism and intersectionality.\nThe findings of my research indicate that the use of strategic feminism quickly becomes counterproductive, and starts feeding back into the stereotypes, therefore having no transformative power. On the other hand, my study shows the importance of intersectionality for a more diverse and nuanced picture of the intersections of social divisions which in this study were identified as gender/ethnicity and gender/class. Through these intersections, the structures of patriarchy and inequality become visible.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Submitted by Paivi Vuorio (paelvuor@jyu.fi) on 2020-12-11T08:17:32Z\nNo. of bitstreams: 0", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "provenance", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-11T08:17:32Z (GMT).
