Contemporary Feminisms in Social Work Practice explores feminism as
core to social work knowledge, practice and ethics. It demonstrates
how gender-neutral perspectives and practices obscure gender
discourses and power relations. It also shows feminist social work
practice can transform areas of social work not specifically
concerned with gender, through its emphasis on relationships and
power. Within and outside feminism, there is a growing assumption
that equality has been won and is readily available to all women.
However, women continue to dominate the ranks of the poor in
developed and developing countries around the world; male
perpetrated violence against women and children has not reduced;
women outnumber men by up to three to one in the diagnosis of
common mental health problems; and women continue to be severely
underrepresented in every realm of power, decision-making and
wealth. This worrying context draws attention to the ways gender
relations structure most of the problems faced by the women, men
and children in the day-to-day worlds in which social work
operates. Drawing together key contemporary thinking about feminism
and its place in social work, this international collection looks
at both core curriculum areas taught in social work programs and a
wide range of practice fields that involve key challenges and
opportunities for future feminist social work. This book is
suitable for all social work students and academics. It examines
the nuanced nature of power relationships in the everyday and areas
such as working with cross-cultural communities, mental health,
interpersonal violence and abuse, homelessness, child protection,
ageing, disability and sexuality.
