Abortion rights and Roe v Wade
This paper draws together the work of three leading social work academics to look at the question of abortion and a woman’s right to chose in the context of the recent Roe V Wade reversal in the United States
Abortion and Citizenship Rights in a Devolved Region of the UK
The 1998 Belfast Agreement seemed to promise women in Northern Ireland equality. This article examines the extent to which that promise has been met by exploring abortion rights in the region. It situates abortion within a citizens’ rights framework. The article explores the interconnectedness of civil, political and social rights and the implications of an inability to vindicate any aspect of those rights
Devolution in Northern Ireland
This paper examines social policy developments in Northern Ireland since the May 2011 election. In many areas of social policy Northern Ireland lags behind other regions of the UK, the results of decades of neglect of economic and social policy, and years of conflict. The mandatory coalition established under devolution presents particular challenges for policy making but there had been optimism that devolved structures would be more responsive t…
The Making of an Outsider
The young people who are the focus of this article grow up in communities ravaged by poverty and conflict. School is where they spend most of their time, but their experience of school is, generally, not motivating and increases their feelings of social exclusion; almost one in ten young people whose family depends on benefits leaves school with no educational qualifications and the future they see is bleak. Small wonder, then, that so many suffe…
That child is smart because he’s rich’
There is little information about, and understanding of, how children from families living in poverty experience school, as opposed to children from better‐off families. This paper is based on the views of children aged 5–11 in schools across Northern Ireland, UK. It argues that family poverty impacts on every aspect of a child’s experience of school from the earliest years of primary school and, therefore, that policy interventions to improve ed…
They are not looking at the cost of living’
This article argues that the UK government has failed in its duty to guarantee ‘an adequate income and resources to live in human dignity’ (EC, 2002, p 27) for all. The evidence provided is qualitative, from a study of mothers and young people in the most disadvantaged parts of Northern Ireland. Mothers, particularly those on benefits, found it very difficult to provide food and warmth. They also indicated that income adequacy had an impact on th…
Devolution, direct rule and neo-liberal reconstruction in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is a deeply unequal society emerging from war. The anticipated ‘peace dividend’ has not materialized for people living in poverty who were also most affected by the conflict. The devolved administration in Northern Ireland 2000–2 was constrained in its response to social exclusion by Treasury rules. This paper argues that attempts under devolution to develop new public services and more publicly oriented Public–Private Partnershi…
Child Poverty in Northern Ireland
Levels of child poverty in Northern Ireland are high; 32 per cent of children live in households whose only income derives from benefits, compared with 19 per cent of children in Britain living in families totally dependent on benefits. Unemployment, low pay, a higher cost of living, low levels of public services, including childcare and support services for people with disabilities, slightly larger families and a lack of access by poorer women t…
Young People's Participation in a New Northern Ireland Society
This article examines the extent to which young people are given the opportunity to contribute to the rebuilding of Northern Irish society in the postconflict situation. It recounts the conflict's effects on the lives of children and young people and evidence that suggests that young people have not felt part of the political process in the past. We then examine arguments about citizenship for children and young people using a children's rights p…
