Neste artigo, lançarei mão do conceito de Resistência como uma rede de insurreições problematizada por mulheres artistas urbanas da cena de Fortaleza-CE. A categoria Resistência tornou-se uma borda temática apre(e)ndida a partir de narrativas dessas artistas (protagonistas de ações que passei a chamar de poéticas de dipnoico) durante processo de pesquisa que vem dialogando com discussões tecidas por Suely Rolnik (2018).Palavras-chave: Mulheres; Resistência; Insurreição; Narrativas; Poéticas.AbstractIn this article, I will use the concept of Resistance as a network of insurgencies problematized by women urban artists from the Fortaleza-CE scene. The Resistance category became a thematic differential learned and apprehended  from the narratives of these artists (protagonists of actions that I started to call dipnoic poetics) during a research process that has been dialoguing with discussions made by Suely Rolnik (2018).Keywords: Women; Resistance; Insurrection; Narratives; Poetic.

This multi-jail study examines the behavioral health needs and service use in a sample of 3,787 individuals in jail, to compare women in rural jails to their gender and geography counterparts (that is rural men, urban women, and urban men). Compared to urban women (17.9%, n = 677), rural men (18.2%, n = 690), and urban men (56.1%; n = 2,132), rural women (7.6%, n = 288) had significantly higher odds of serious mental illness and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Rural woman were nearly 30 times more likely to receive jail-based mental health services; however, a discrepancy between screened mental health need (43.1%, n = 124) and jail-identified mental health need (8.4%, n = 24) shows rural women are severely under-identified compared to their gender/geography counterparts. These findings have implications for the changing nature of jail populations and suggests the need to improve behavioral health identification methods.

Missing Women

AbstractWith the advent of modern technology for fetal sex determination, selective abortion is found to be responsible for a significant number of “missing women” in countries like China and India. Using a competing risk hazard model, we investigate whether son preference translates into selective abortion and accounts for any of the “missing women” in Bangladesh. Data suggest that son preference leads to shorter birth intervals if previous births are girls. For example, if the first birth is a girl, the odds of having another child each quarter is about 15% higher and the birth interval is about 2 months shorter for more educated urban women in recent years (1990–2011). However, there is no evidence that selective abortion contributes to missing women in Bangladesh.
