Violences envers les femmes autour d'une naissance: Une étude dans une ville italienne.
No full textLes violences conjugales post-séparation et le devenir des femmes et des enfants
No full textL’article présente une analyse des connaissances sur le thème des violences conjugales après une séparation ou un divorce et de l’impact de ces violences sur la vie des femmes et des enfants. L’argumentation s’appuie sur une base de données internationale très riche qui montre la fréquence et la gravité de ces violences. Des recherches menées dans différents pays montrent aussi que ces violences restent peu visibles et que cette invisibilité est un obstacle majeur dans la protection des femmes et des enfants. Le texte analyse différents mécanismes d’occultation, comme le mythe des « fausses dénonciations » et discute de leur impact sur la perception sociale des violences conjugales post-séparation et sur la vie des victimes
The practice of protective legislation for pregnant workers in Italy
No full textProtective legislation for pregnant workers is well established in Italy; yet little is known about how it works in practice. In this article, I present the results of two studies, both carried out in an Italian town, Trieste, and concerned with the implementation of this regulation and with some of its social effects. Results show that women who are employed in the official labour market generally benefit from protective legislation, but that inequalities exist among them: Manual workers and those employed in the private sector are far less ''protected.'' Noneligible workers are not protected at all. Moreover, this regulation fails to protect women from domestic work; in some cases, it is even used to allow the future mother to fully assume her caring duties
Work and Health in Mothers of Young Children
No full textAlthough most mothers of young children work, we do not know much about the effect of this work on the mothers' health. The aim of this article is to review and discuss some of the findings on this subject, in order to understand whether paid and unpaid work are associated with mothers' health. Results from available studies show that, while employment tends to be associated with better physical and mental health in mothers, its effects are inconsistent when mothers of babies or young children are specifically examined. For physical health, employment is likely to have a negative effect for working-class mothers and a positive effect for middle-class ones. For mental health, the trend is unclear; mothers' psychological well-being is negatively affected, however, by the presence of one or more preschoolers, a lack of involvement by the husband, difficulties linked to child care, and the women's preferences concerning their professional status. Moreover, variables such as education, income, social class, housing, and marital status are likely to affect the health of mothers of young children, just as they affect the health of other women
Les conséquences des violences masculines sur la santé des femmes. Déni, réconnaissance et médicalization
No full textLa de-umanizzazione. Filo rosso nella violenza contro le donne.
No full textLo scopo di questo lavoro è di mostrare le relazioni complesse tra la de-umanizzazione delle donne e la violenza agita nei loro confronti. Parlare di de-umanizzazione implica una sottrazione, una limitazione rispetto a un’entità definita come umana. Prima di iniziare, è quindi lecito domandarsi se le donne siano veramente umane, se siano cioè considerate a tutti gli effetti altrettanto umane dell’altra metà dell’umanità, vale a dire degli uomini
