Women, Vulnerabilities and Welfare Service Systems
О овој е-књизи
Divided into three parts:
- Welfare service systems (not) responding to vulnerable situations of women
- Women’s encounters with the welfare service system
- Contradictions of informal support
this book considers the experiences and encounters with the service system of women in poverty, homeless women, women with substance use problems, women sentenced of crime, girls and young women in care, and refugees and asylum-seeking women.
Drawing upon research and critical discussions from Finland, Canada, Israel, Slovenia, Spain and the UK, this book provides new empirical findings and critical insights, and a valuable resource for the academics and students in social work, social policy, sociology and gender studies, but also for policy makers and professionals in social and health care.
