Resumo − Este trabalho decorre da pesquisa (recente e em curso) intitulada Mulheres na linha de frente, que faz uma articulação entre violência estatal e violência de gênero às práticas de tortura perpetradas no período da ditadura civil-militar no Brasil (1964-1985), no âmbito do estado do Rio de Janeiro. No decorrer desse estudo, foram encontrados dados que possibilitam situar o Serviço Social na história – apesar de não ser seu objeto privilegiado. Assim, a partir de evidências reveladas pelo campo da Justiça de Transição pode-se melhor avaliar a participação de assistentes sociais nos movimentos de resistência desse período da formação social brasileira, a partir de um corpus documental identificado pelas Comissões de Verdade, Memória e Reparação. Palavras-Chave: Serviço Social; história; justiça de transição; movimento social.   Abstract − This work stems from a recent (and ongoing) research entitled Women on the front line, which links state violence and gender violence to torture practices perpetrated during the period of the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985), in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In the course of this study, data have been found that make it possible to situate social work in history – although not as its privileged subject. Thus, from evidence revealed by the field of transitional justice, it is possible to evaluate better the participation of social workers in the resistance movements of this period of social formation in Brazil, based on a documentary corpus identified by the Commissions of Truth, Memory and Reparation. Keywords: social work; history; transitional justice; social movements.

All Our Trials: Prisons, Policing, and the Feminist Fight to End Violence is a history of grassroots activism by, for, and about incarcerated domestic violence survivors, criminalized rape resisters, and dissident women prisoners in the 1970s and early 1980s. Across the country, in and outside of prisons, radical women participated in collective actions that insisted on the interconnections between interpersonal violence against women and the racial and gender violence of policing and imprisonment. These organizing efforts generated an anticarceral feminist politics that was defined by a critique of state violence; an understanding of race, gender, class, and sexuality as mutually constructed systems of power and meaning; and a practice of coalition-based organizing. Drawing on an array of archival sources as well as first-person narratives, the book traces the political activities, ideas, and influence of this activist current. All Our Trials demonstrates how it shaped broader debates about the root causes of and remedies for violence against women as well as played a decisive role in the making of a prison abolition movement.

Resumo: As mulheres vivenciam a cultura patriarcal em casa, no trabalho, nas relações familiares, de amizade e profissionais. Mas como essa cultura está presente nos espaços de privação de liberdade? Como se dão as relações interpessoais e institucionais nessas instituições? Essas questões foram a base para a produção deste artigo que tem como objetivo principal realizar uma discussão sobre a percepção de mulheres que atuam em espaços de privação de liberdade sobre situações de violência e opressão de gênero vivenciadas no cotidiano profissional. Os escritos aqui apresentados originam-se de uma pesquisa realizada, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, que investigou a presença ou não de formas de violência e discriminação no cotidiano profissional a partir da percepção de mulheres trabalhadoras que atuam no sistema de privação de liberdade. A pesquisa é de caráter qualitativo, sendo a entrevista aberta ou etnográfica o principal instrumento de coleta de dados. Foram realizadas entrevistas com quatro mulheres que trabalham (ou já trabalharam) como professoras, pedagogas e assistentes sociais nesses espaços. Dentre os resultados observados, destacam-se os relatos de situações de opressão e violência de gênero, vivenciadas no cotidiano do trabalho. Palavras-Chave: Privação de liberdade. Mulheres trabalhadoras. Gênero. Educação. WORKING WOMEN’S VOICE: EDUCATION AND GENDER RELATIONS IN LIBERTY DEPRIVATION PLACESAbstract: Women experience patriarchal culture at home, at work, in family relationships, friendship and work. But how is that culture present in liberty deprivation places? How do interpersonal relationships work in these institutions?These questions were the basis of this article whose main purpose is to discuss the perceptions that women who work in places of liberty deprivation have about violence situations and gender oppression faced on their daily work. The writings presented here originated from a survey conducted in the State of Rio de Janeiro, investigating forms of violence and presence or absence of discrimination in daily work from perspectives of women working in liberty deprivation system. This is a qualitative research, with an open or ethnographic interview as the main instrument of data collection. Interviews were conducted with four women working (or that had worked) as teachers, social workers or pedagogues in these places. Among the results found, there were reports of oppresion situations and gender violence experienced in their daily work.Keywords: Liberty deprivation. Working women. Gender. Education.

Political Praxis

Reporting on the development of an ongoing qualitative research project with clients of midwifery care in New Brunswick, Canada, this article details the ways that methodology is complexly interwoven with political praxis. Working through the development of this project, this article models one way to enact politically engaged feminist research at each stage of the research process, from developing the research question, through research design, data collection, analysis, and theory generation. In the process, three core principles of feminist research methodologies are extended: co-construction of knowledge, researcher reflexivity, and reciprocal relationships in research. This research is caught up in and responds to a fraught political context where supports for reproductive healthcare are limited, and midwifery, abortion, and gender-affirming care are all framed as “fringe” services that exceed the austerity budget of the province. Participants engaged in this study with a clear understanding of this political terrain and approached interviews as an opportunity to share their experiences, and to advocate for the continuation and expansion of midwifery and related services in the province. Through the research process, it has become evident that midwifery must be understood as part of the struggle toward reproductive justice in this province. These reflections will direct further stages of the project, including ongoing research and dissemination.

Coloniality of White Feminism and Its Transphobia: A Comment on Burt

Epistemological Framework

In this comment, I challenge Burt’s colonial epistemological framework in her theorizations of sex, gender, and transness. Drawing upon anti-racist, decolonial, and trans of color feminisms, I argue that transphobia is inherent to white feminisms due to its roots in colonialism. Heteropatriarchy and cisnormativity are products of colonialism, and feminists who espouse transphobic discourses invariably reproduce colonial and white supremacist frameworks of patriarchy and gender violence.

The Relationship

Background: Several risk factors have been identified for postpartum hemorrhage, one of which being the duration of the third stage of labour. This stage refers to the interval between the expulsion of the fetus to the expulsion of the placenta. Some bleeding occurs in this stage due to the separation of the placenta Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the length of the third stage of labour. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 women hospitalized for vaginal birth were selected via convenience sampling. The study data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 26.41 (6.26) years. Investigation of the relationship between the study variables and the time of placental separation indicated that a minute increase in the length of membranes rupture caused a 0.003minute decrease in the time of placental separation. However, this time increased by 2.75, 6.68, and 2.86 minutes in the individuals without the history of abortion, those with the history of stillbirth, and those who had not received hyoscine, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis indicated that suffering from preeclampsia or hypertension, history of stillbirth, not receiving hyoscine, and not receiving misoprostol increased the length of the third stage by 4.40, 8.55, 2.38, and 6.04 minutes, respectively. Conclusion: Suffering from preeclampsia and having the history of stillbirth increased and using hyoscine and misoprostol decreased the length of the third stage of labour. However, no significant relationship was found between the length of the third stage of labour and mother’s age, gestational age, parity, mother’s body mass index, mother’s chronic disorders, history of manual placenta removal, length of the first and second stages, membranes rupture, induction, amount of oxytocin after delivery, and infant’s weight and gender.

The Dame Eileen Younghusband Lecture is presented every two years at the joint world conferences of international social work. In 2016 it was presented in Seoul and was based on the conference theme ‘promoting the dignity and worth of people’. The lecture includes a review of heroes, legal, political and social successes, and challenges for sexual and gender minorities around the world. It challenges the binary of gender and sexuality. The privilege of social work is to choose either to challenge or to reproduce oppression based on sexuality and gender, and protect the dignity and worth of all peoples.

Current Potential

This article will stretch the boundaries of the interdisciplinary lens to consider the history of and current potential for the arts to enhance, advance, and amplify individual, family, and community social change goals of the social work profession. To begin, consider the following questions: What would inspire artists and social workers to intentionally work together to reveal new strengths, energy, and capacity in the areas we care about? What do the arts have to teach the profession of social work and vice versa? How have the arts already played a role in the profession, and what has impaired social work’s ability to make greater use of the strengths associated with the arts? How have other professions (public health, psychology, education, and others) incorporated partnerships with the arts? This article concludes with a call to action to advance the potential of the arts in coordination with social work and related disciplines.
