Delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution: Enablers and Barriers
The social work profession recognises the value of trauma-informed care for women with multiple disadvantage. For women involved in street-based prostitution this is mostly descriptive in nature with limited practice-based investigation. Guided by the principles of qualitative feminist research, this article explores the enablers and barriers in delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution. Semi-structured in…
Acceptance, obedience and resistance: Children's perceptions of street trading in Nigeria
Street trading is an under‐researched form of child labour. This study explores experiences of children aged 10–15 in Nigeria, using interviews and focus groups. Children largely accepted the need to contribute economically to the family, as well as their own school expenses. Trading was demanding, and there were hidden costs, such as reduced school attendance, but an emphasis on obedience made challenge difficult. Children felt resistance, but k…
Social Movements, Political Change and Support for Refugees: Implications for Social Work Practice in the UK
In recent years, the numbers of refugees and migrants moving across borders has been unprecedented, with more than 68.5 million people around the world leaving their countries as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations. Their journeys are perilous, crossing dangerous waters, often leading to death of family members. Upon arrival in Europe they continue to struggle, often living in detention-like conditions, unable …
Transnational Homemaking Practices: Identity, Belonging and Informal Learning
In the context of increased diversity, mobility and migration, as people change residence and break the connections of origin, family and childhood, which conventionally provide a link between place and identity, it is important to understand the challenges of constructing a plausible narrative of personal history and continuity that can provide a connection to place. Drawing on symbolic interactionism, as a theoretical framework, in which realit…
Towards Strategic Sisterhood on Balanced Terms: Recognition, Participation, Inclusion and Solidarity
‘The women’s movement’ has never been a unified movement, be it at transnational, national, regional or local levels of mobilisation and activism, as women’s interests have diverged and women have mobilised within different groups and organisations emphasising a plethora of issues, strategies and claims. The diversity of women’s movements offers women of various backgrounds and locations a sense of belonging as well as political representation th…
Political Opportunities and Violence against Women
How have women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom attempted to influence gender policy, and how have they succeeded? The citation above is one example of a ‘verdict’, a conditionally excited opinion. In order to grasp how women’s movement actors perceive and assess the policy influence of their activism, we have been inspired by approaches that emphasise political institutions, framing processes and discourses (McAdam et al. 1996…
Seeking Policy Impact
In this chapter we explore women’s movements’ efforts to change public policies in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom. Influencing government is not necessarily women’s organisations’ most urgent raison d’être,1 and yet, to challenge public policy is sometimes central to their aims. This was the case after the fall of Franco in 1975, when the feminist movements in Spain mobilised to re-establish women’s autonomy and rights in private and public…
Citizenship, Recognition and Justice
Modern democracies are based on the principle of self-determination, which implies that all citizens are entitled to have a voice, ‘to not only be subject but the author of its laws’ (Benhabib 2004: 20). The right to have a voice does not, however, necessarily imply equal rights in practice, nor does citizenship include all adults. Women’s rights are restricted in various ways, and so are the citizenship rights of refugees, asylum seekers, indige…
Women’s Movements, Gender Equality, Citizenship and Ethnic Diversity in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom
This book examines how relations between ethnic ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ women’s organisations1 in contemporary women’s movements, as well as relations between women’s movements and governments in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom, have developed and are being talked about by women’s movement activists. Our focus on these relations originates from an interest in the mobilisation of white, Black, migrant, indigenous, national and ethnic minori…
Women’s Movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom
Due to their origin in different historical and socio-political contexts, women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom vary in terms of the timing of their emergence, the issues they have focused on, the timing of their claims-making, their capability to impact upon policymaking and their access to women’s and gender policy agencies. At the same time, women’s movements in these three countries share several characteristics, such as t…
Conclusion
Feminist theories of citizenship consider recognition, participation, inclusion and belonging as important aspects of citizenship practices. Women’s movements themselves provide arenas in which citizenship is lived and negotiated, and the demands voiced by women’s movements involve struggles over understandings and practices of citizenship. In this book we have examined practiced, or lived, citizenship in two contexts: firstly, within women’s mov…
Researching Women’s Movements
This book explores the demands and practices which have emerged from ‘second wave’ women’s movements from the late 1960s and onwards by focusing on relations between majoritised and minoritised women’s movement organisations, and on relations between women’s movement organisations and the state. We have chosen Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom — countries with very different migration histories and gender regimes — as empirical contexts for ou…

In addition to the references cited in each article, below are some other sources relevant to the topics covered by the preceding articles. Although most refer to domestic policy measures, a few offer a more comparative, international perspective.

Youth Culture and Citizenship in Multicultural Britain
Across Europe and the western world debates on multiculturalism are shaping national and local policies on citizenship. How to reconcile the tensions between minority rights, cultural difference and the universal notion of citizenship in different nation states has become a central focus when considering how the inclusion of ethnic minority groups is being managed. At the heart of these discussions are concerns about the young and the processes o…
Poverty, Women and Child Health in Rural Romania: Uninformed Choice or Lack of Services
This article explores the barriers that poor rural women encounter in the process of accessing health care for themselves and for their children in Romania. The literature shows that although the availability of health, sanitation and other social services is important in determining child health outcomes, its interaction with household characteristics determines the actual outcomes. Specifically, my aim is to document the pathways through which …
