Global Social Work 2021 Midterm Question 2:

Imagine you were going to lead a parent support group in a country DIFFERENT than your own. How would you use Global social work principles that Healey describes to plan how to go about it? What content would you aim to address to promote parenting that does not encourage violence, using the ideas from readings from the class about child development and family relationships? You can include topics such as avoiding practices such as child trafficking, female genital mutilation and stigmatizing youth based on LGBTQ status.

 

Global Social Work 20201, Midterm Question 1.     Read the following Nobel prize speech by Wangari Maathai:

 

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2004/maathai/26050-wangari-maathai-nobel-lecture-2004/

You can also see at that website her speech and an interview she had, and the website for the movement she founded in Kenya: https://www.greenbeltmovement.org/who-we-are

 

Now consider our readings about poverty and the social and economic oppression of women. Use the readings and your own thoughts to understand how the Green Belt movement simultaneously mitigated environmental degradation, poverty, and the social and economic oppression of women.

Global Social Work Midterm Question 2

Choose one of the forms that discrimination against women takes around the world, in it's national context, and briefly describe a social work intervention to mitigate it -- an intervention that exists or that you would create given the readings.
