▼ Métis Peoples comprise over a third of the Indigenous population in Canada while experiencing major gaps in
access to culturally safe health services. These gaps are problematic given the severe disparities in health determinants and outcomes that Métis Peoples experience, compared to the non-Indigenous Canadian population. To address the Métis health service gap, this qualitative study applied a conversational method to follow up with a subgroup of Métis
women who participated in the Our Health Counts Toronto longitudinal cohort. Guided by a Decolonizing Praxis woven with Indigenous Feminist Theory, conversations explored Métis women’s perspectives on identity and their experiences with health and social services in Toronto. The three manuscripts presented in this dissertation expose the multitude of barriers Métis
women face when trying to
access services in Toronto.
In the first manuscript, Métis
women share about the influence of patriarchy in health and social services in Toronto. This included men dominating policies regarding Métis identity; cultural mentors crossing barriers; physicians who were judgmental and sexually violent; and being forced to advocate for basic services. This manuscript highlights the need for Métis
women to be re-centered in positions of leadership.
The second manuscript reveals the experiences with racism and discrimination that Métis
women face when trying to
access health and social services in Toronto. This included witnessing, absorbing, and facing racism, feeling unwelcomed, and experiencing lateral violence. This manuscript underscores the urgency and importance of understanding and addressing racism as a determinant of Métis Peoples’ health.
The third manuscript provides recommendations by Métis
women to improve
access to health and social services in Toronto for the Métis community. This included having a Métis presence within services; culturally relevant design; Métis specific and/or informed services; welcoming reception; and service providers with an understanding of Indigenous Peoples’ histories and complexities.
This research illustrates the multitude of barriers that Métis
women have experienced when trying to
access health and social services in Toronto. At the same time, this research demonstrates that Métis
women hold practical solutions to develop culturally-specific, appropriate, and effective health programs and services for Métis Peoples in Toronto.

▼ The impetus for conducting this research is near and dear to my heart along with desiring to make a change for the better. In conducting interviews of Nigerian
women's experiences, struggles and accessibility to secondary education, the research shows significant barriers to secondary education in their narrative experiences that their male counterparts do not experience. Specifically, the experiences of these selected Nigerian
women who have shared their aspirations, goals and accomplishments through narrative form can be generalized to the
women of Nigeria as a whole. The cultural background is an overwhelming obstacle which, although seems to be slowly eroding, the
women still must deal with imbued beliefs that "a woman's place is in the home" and therefore not entitled to
access higher education. The Nigerian
women, therefore, face various challenges in their endeavors to pursue higher education.
Qualitative research by means of interviews was used to generate details of the Nigerian
women's struggles, determination and their resilience despite the overwhelming sacrifices that they made. The reason as to why only
women were chosen is due to the fact that cultural, religious and societal mechanisms affect
women in Nigeria to a much greater degree than men. Equal
access and acceptance of that concept are integral in helping Nigerian
women secure educational
access for all Nigerian
women in the future.
Quantitative research was obtained by using a survey instrument distributed to Nigerian
women obtained their advanced degrees and others who are still pursuing their higher education. A total of approximately 300 surveys were distributed with 278 respondents for a response rate of 93%. The survey sought to examine Nigerian
women's struggles as they pursue higher education, the challenges they face, the support they gain through these struggles, the issues they go through, and their needs, motivational factors, encouragement factors, the role of religion, the impact of obtaining a higher education, and the impact of shaping strategic government policies towards
women's educational awareness, and empowerment of
women both in the family and society at large.

▼ Women constitute around half of the total world population but unfortunately this is not commensurate with the number of enterprises owned and managed by women. Various reasons have been given for this difference with the main one being that women entrepreneurs are unable to access as much credit facilities to grow and expand their businesses accordingly. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing access to credit facilities by women entrepreneurs in Kisii town, Kisii County. The study was guided by objectives such as influence of lending conditions, cost of credit, and role of credit servicing history as well as influence of information access on credit facilities by women entrepreneurs in Kisii town. Clearly these are factors at play that hinder women from accessing credit facilities to enable them run small and medium enterprises successfully hence contribute effectively to the much needed economic growth and development of their communities. Study delimitations ranged from women entrepreneurs in the wholesale businesses, fast food vendors, second hand cloth vendors, and production as well as hotel entrepreneurs. These women entrepreneurs compromised the target population of 2,230 enterprises licensed to carry out businesses by the Kisii county business licensing board. Survey research design was used to collect data from the target population. Validity and reliability of the instruments was ensured by test, retest techniques, while permission to collect data was granted by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. Data was analyzed by use of percentages and frequencies. The study found that certain demographic characteristics encouraged aggressive entrepreneurial skills and of pursuit of credit facilities. Women both married and widowed were better placed to take initiatives for aggressive mobilization of business funds from commercial lending institutions, probably fueled by family financial demands and being sole breadwinners in the latter cases. The level of education revealed glaring academic challenges amongst the women entrepreneurs as the results indicated 40.5% as being below certificate education, while 37.74% had certificate, diploma at 17.92% whilst degree holders only managed 0.377%. Such statistics indicate that women entrepreneurs were unlikely to obtain requisite business operation strategies bordering on credit access for business investment. Similarly, the study variable of cost of credit revealed that women entrepreneurs often felt the prohibitive cost of credit with 78.3% strongly agreeing that cost of credit in form of prevailing interest rates deterred their access to credit. Therefore, there is an urgent need to tailor special interest rates to the more vulnerable groups in the communities. Lending conditions imposed on the women entrepreneurs were rigid and rigorous and this ended up forcing them to resort short term loans ranging from minimal amounts of 10,000 to 50,000. These could hardly address the financial requirements of modern businesses which…

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess the determinants of access to credit by women entrepreneurs in TOI market, Nairobi County. The study was guided by the following research question: what are determinants of access to credit by women entrepreneurs in Nairobi. The research design was descriptive survey study in nature since it focused on more than one woman enterprises and it also focused on the status quo, in addition to describing the level of access by women entrepreneurs in Toi market. The target population of the study was the women entrepreneurs at TOI market. A sample of 40 stalls was selected from the Toi market traders whose stalls are located in section A and B using the random sampling technique. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected using a questionnaire that consisted of both open ended and close ended questions. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and results presented in frequency tables to show how the responses for the various questions posed to the respondents. The data was then analyzed in terms of descriptive statistics like frequencies, means and percentages. Results indicated that several factors determined the access of credit by women entrepreneurs. These factors include age of business, size of business, level of education, capital invested, financial records and risk preference. All factors had a significant effect on access to credit and hence indicated that there was a low level of access to credit. The study concludes that women had low access to credit from the banks. It was also possible to conclude that the access to credit by women and the performance of women SMEs significantly differs from that of men because men are favored than the women. It was also possible to conclude that age of business, size of business, level of education, age and capital invested influence the level of access to credit by women from banks. The study recommended that measures such as finance training, education and ownership of resources such as land and property be emphasized and women encouraged to take the various available opportunities. This is because such measures would increase their level of credit access.

▼ The study aims to provide an analysis of the experience of Indonesian women in accessing resources (which are available in various spaces, particularly in the family law system and the criminal law system) and to what extent the available resources become a powerful means for these women to access justice. The findings of the research, thus, is expected to reflect an examination of how power is exercised in and through various spaces; and how the spaces (and their boundaries) are defined, defended, and contested based on the Indonesian women’s perspectives and identities. The research presented in the thesis used a qualitative methodology. There were 18 respondents recruited from two groups: first, 14 Indonesian women from Semarang, Central Java (Indonesia); second, four Indonesian women from Sydney and suburbs, New South Wales (Australia). The findings have demonstrated that regardless of their identities, Indonesian women victims in this study have pursued their access to the justice system through accessing resources and by going from one resource to another, from one space to another, and from one legislative framework to another, in which each of these elements has its own power to be contested. The experiences of Indonesian women victims of domestic violence in Indonesia have demonstrated that the negative responses mainly come from the police sector. The presence of bribery, corruption, and often a ‘friendship’ between the police involved and the perpetrator (and/or identification with his situation rather than that of the woman) became the primary cause of such a lack genuine assistance to the women in their attempt to access justice. The Family Law system, either in part or simultaneously (or serially) through several avenues, was approached by the respondents regardless of the response from the Criminal Justice System. However, respondents in Indonesia must first consider their identities (such as religion, whether a wife of state employee, and the reason for filling for divorce) before accessing the Family Law, because the legislation which is provided by the state differs according to those factors. This is very different from the experience of countries such as Australia which because of the basically secular nature of its legislation has a far more universally applicable approach to marriage and divorce. In Indonesia, women who fail to consider their various identities (religion, even husband’s employment) will probably lose in regard to what in theory are their rights in the context of domestic violence.

▼ Women play an important role in food security. Growing, processing, purchasing, preparing and
serving food to their families is a common and distinctive relationship they have to food in most
societies in the world. They also play a critical role in food security. Yet, studies show that
women are the most vulnerable to household food insecurity. At the heart of women’s
differential vulnerability to household food insecurity is their lack of ownership of the means of
food production, mainly land. Food is grown on land and
access to land for productive purposes
is vital for food security, especially for
women who have little other means of securing food
aside from performing subsistence farming for household food security. Thus, analyzing
women
experiences of accessing land and productive resources, and the manner in which such
access
shapes their empowerment and ability to achieve household food security is important. In this
dissertation, women’s empowerment refers to a process where
women gain the ability to make
strategic life choices; I take the position that for
women to be empowered, their
access to
resources, individual capacities and agency must be improved. Thus, this dissertation aims to
examine the lived experiences of female farmers in Stellenbosch in terms of
access to land and
productive resources, and the implications this kind of
access has for women’s empowerment
and household food security.

▼ Exploration of the Decision-Making Process to Access and Utilize Healthcare in Women VeteransCorinne A. Lee, PhD, MSN, RNDirector: Janice Agazio, PhD, CRNP, RN, FAANP, FAANPrevious research described the barriers that women veterans (WVs) encounter during their decision-making to access and utilize healthcare services (Hamilton et al. 2013; Haskell, 2011& Washington et al. 2011).The decision-making process for accessing and utilizing healthcare in VA and non-VA health systems by women veterans is not described in the literature. Using Strauss et al., 1998 (1998) approach to grounded theory and embedding the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) to assess for decisional conflict, this study explored how and why women veterans decide to access and utilize healthcare. A purposive sample of women veterans (n = 26) was recruited through women veteran service organizations. Twenty-six semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted. The G.R.I.T. Theory of Decision-Making by Women Veterans, (grit, resilience, insight, and trust) emerged from the data as an explanatory theory with five major themes: being vulnerable, navigating the system, digging deep, managing my life as a veteran, and encountering barriers. The core concept, having inner resolve, reflects the foundation through which women veterans rely on for decision-making. Together the categories and core concept evoked grit. According to the GRIT theory, having inner resolve is central to finding strength while vulnerable, navigating the web of healthcare, continuing to dig deep while managing the role as a woman veteran in a civilian world, and mitigating barriers to accessing and utilizing healthcare. Results from administration of the DCS indicated that decisional conflict does not affect their decision to access and utilize healthcare. The GRIT theory has broad implications. Interprofessional education led by schools of nursing that includes veteran centric curriculum content will assist healthcare providers (HCPs) to understand the unique and specific needs of women veterans. Nurses and HCPs who interact with women veterans may recognize the inner resolve and grit in this population and leverage it to facilitate healthcare decision-making. Future studies to expand on the theoretical components of the G.R.I.T. theory are warranted to continue the explanation of how the inner resolve of women veterans can be enriched.

women leaders encountered in the workplace when interacting with men, the emerged themes were men's role,
women leader's double bind, and
women leaders' feminine characteristics. The result of interacting with
women revealed,
women leaders being enemies of other
women, supportive, or situational actions. Additional findings were discussed. Moreover, some implications and recommendations for further research were discussed.

▼ The purpose of this study was to reveal the ways in which first-generation
women in Tanzania explained their success in pursuing a university education despite cultural and social obstacles. Such obstacles include social policies, socio-cultural factors, and academic factors. A review of the literature revealed that issues such as patriarchy, proximity to schools, teenage pregnancy, domestic roles, religion, and initiation rituals serve as hurdles for
women who seek to reach tertiary education. Ethnography was used to capture a deep slice of the
women's background and educational experiences.

▼ This thesis explores the lives of Maasai women today in general, and in particular as seen through the lens of one woman, and her social network in Kajiado County, southern Kenya. By using a storytelling approach, I let the women’s own vivid stories, thoughts and priorities stay in focus. While the women’s stories reveal personal details in their lives, I argue that their stories also broaden the perspective of what it is to be a Maasai woman today. Inspired by a framework of multispecies relations, especially the concept of relatedness, I look at the relationships – to both humans and non-humans – which shapes the women's lives, possibilities, decisions, and concerns. As I explore the women's more-than-human worlds, the agency of cows, goats, sheep, and even flies are acknowledged. In combination with inspiration from the framework of feminist political ecology – especially the concepts of resource access and displacement – I bridge understandings about how multispecies relations affect the women, with reflections on education and working situations, and matters of land. With this thesis, I wish to contribute to and broaden the literature and often stereotyped image of what it is to be a Maasai, especially a Maasai woman.

▼ This thesis presents a study of the micro dynamics of labour market segmentation, through an exploration of occupational variations in the differentiated patterns of mothers employment mobility. The study seeks an answer to the question: How do Australian mothers retain occupational
access within a segmented labour market? While Australia has comparatively high rates of part-time employment internationally, not all Australian mothers
access part-time work as a means of maintaining labour force attachment during periods of care responsibility. One third of employed mothers, with responsibility for a child under 16 years of age, work full-time. In contrast, for mothers who do
access part-time work, the interlinking patterns of working hours, employment mode and occupational mobility often make altering working hours alone difficult. This study draws on a theoretical framework examining the interplay between choice and constraint at the individual level, exploring the occupational variations in enablements and barriers that mothers navigate in order to maintain both employment and occupational
access. The thesis presents a longitudinal analysis of 5 waves of data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia (HILDA) Survey (2001 2005), presenting two integrated studies. The first study examines the shape of employment, that is the pattern of norms relating to the terms and conditions of employment, including hours and location of work and contract mode; and how that shape varies both in appearance and strength for 64 occupations in the Australian labour market. The second study explores variations across 64 occupations in the patterns of navigation of Australian mothers between 2001 and 2005. This study explores the micro dynamics of employment mobility at the individual level, illustrating the impact of the shape of employment in both constraining and enabling the avenues of choice available to mothers attempting to combine work and care. Based on the empirical evidence in these studies, I argue that how a mother navigates her employment
access is enabled and constrained by the shape of employment accessibility - the pattern and strength of occupational norms defining the available forms and modes of employment allowing occupational engagement.

▼ A qualitative feminist study was conducted to explore the
access barriers to three reproductive health care services: prenatal care, postnatal care, and screening for cervical cancer, experienced by
women refugee claimants in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The study was informed by social constructionist epistemology and antiracist and intersectional perspectives, and focused on the social, political, economic, and historical contexts of the participants lives and their experiences with migration and the Canadian health care system.
Sixteen
women refugee claimants and 6 service providers were interviewed individually. The study explored how the systems, structures, and policies of Canadian society shaped refugee claimants womens use of these services, or lack thereof, and shaped their everyday life experiences. The research findings indicated that the study participants immigration status, lack of health coverage, living arrangements, absence of service provider support, degree of health care knowledge, discrimination, and having suffered pain, discomfort, or trauma in the past impacted their use or lack of use of prenatal care, postnatal care, and cancer screening services. An intersectional analysis revealed that the gendered and racialized immigration and integration policies, and neoliberal ideologies and practices intersected to locate the participants in racialized and disadvantaged situations as the other wherein
access to these services became challenging.
Women refugee claimants
access to these and other reproductive healthcare services needs to be understood beyond the attempts to know their cultural health beliefs and practices, and beyond the neoliberal ideas of self-care, individual responsibility, and culturally sensitive care. Equitable
access to healthcare cannot be ensured without resisting these womens racialized position as the other while addressing the social, political, historical, and structural inequities in Canadian society. To ensure barrier-free, full health care coverage to
women refugee claimants, as well as other refugee claimants and immigrants, social inequities need to be addressed coupled with instituting broader structural changes federally and provincially in policies, funding, procedures, and practices.

▼ Domestic violence is often framed solely as a cultural
and marginal problem within our society, despite its far-reaching
impact on women from all racial backgrounds. Developing awareness
for those affected necessitates reaching common ground on our
thinking about abuse in ethno-cultural communities and how society
can respond to this problem. Domestic violence exists in the South
Asian community but continues to remain largely unaddressed due to
it being underreported. This thesis focuses specifically on
interviews conducted with South Asian immigrant women in Edmonton,
Alberta, from December 2010 to April 2011. The seven participants
disclose not only how abuse was experienced, but also their
challenges in reporting and gaining access to services. The
overarching power imbalance theory provides insight into the
participants’ perceptions. Recommendations about the
resources/services are offered to reduce the imbalances of power
that exist.
Subjects/Keywords: South Asian immigrant women; challenges in reporting; domestic violence; cultural competency; abuse; access to services

▼ Worldwide, entrepreneurship is seen as one of the most important solutions to unemployment, poverty and low economic growth. The creation of new ventures and the growth of existing businesses are vital contributing factors to any economy. Women outnumber male entrepreneurs, which have led to a renewed focus on gender entrepreneurship and the development of appropriate interventions for gender–specific groups across the globe. In South Africa, women make up just less than 50% of the entrepreneurial population. There is therefore, considerable scope to improve the number of women entrepreneurs in the economy and the level at which they operate. Literature review in this study highlighted that female business ownership is concentrated primarily in the service industries where businesses are relatively smaller in terms of employment and revenue, as opposed to the technology, construction and manufacturing sectors. Women entrepreneurs want to expand their businesses as much as male entrepreneurs but women have a hard time in obtaining external financing and credibility as business owners.
The objective of the study was to explore white and black women entrepreneurs in the Carletonville and Soweto areas and to provide practical recommendations to ensure successful women entrepreneurship in the country.
This study had a total of 58 black and white women entrepreneurs that were motivated by factors like the need for independence, confidence in the product/service offered, self– fulfillment and the need for a challenge into owning a business. A typical woman entrepreneur in this study is between the ages 40 to 59 years, is married with an average of one to two children. The woman entrepreneur is fairly educated with an education level of matric and a diploma. But her business is micro or very small with an annual turnover of R50 000 to R500 000.
Participating women entrepreneurs are faced with obstacles such as inequality of access to credit, awareness and access to business support, risk averse, lack of
focused women entrepreneurship policies from regional municipalities and government, lack of education and training in their business start–up phase. They are faced with obstacles such as awareness / access to business support, gaining acceptance and respect of people, liquidity and other financial problems and lack of timely business information in running their businesses.
Women entrepreneurs in this study declared that they need support on factors such as business advice, information, counselling, mentoring, marketing support and women entrepreneurship specific based policies to enhance women entrepreneurship in the areas of Soweto and Carletonville.
The study also conducted t–tests to compare white and black women entrepreneurs in the Carletonville and Soweto areas. The t–tests focused on motivational factors to self– employment, obstacles to business start–up and obstacles faced in current business operations.
The t–test in this study revealed that black women entrepreneurs rated the following motivating factors: desire…

▼ Background/Aim: Historical evidences indicate that maternal health care by a skilled birth attendant is one of the key strategies for maternal survival. However, the rate of maternity care utilisation and reduction of maternal death is very low in Nigeria. This study was designed to investigate factors influencing access to emergency obstetric care with a view to guiding programmatic efforts targeted at overcoming these barriers and also contribute to health reforms in Nigeria. Hence, the need to understand factors influencing access to emergency obstetric care in Nigeria using the Socio-ecological Model (SEM) and Gender and Development (GAD) to identify associated factors operating at different levels. Methods: A mixed method was employed for this study. Data collection used questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Questionnaires were distributed to 330 respondents of which 318 of them were retrieved and qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted for 6 participants. Data collection were done using a sequential approach. The study was conducted in one of the tertiary health facilities in Nigeria from January-April, 2015, amongst mothers aged 15-45 years meeting the study inclusion criteria. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used in analysing the quantitative data. Bivariate and logistic regressions were conducted for the quantitative data whilst a qualitative content analysis was done for the qualitative data. Results: The study established that education, income level, costs associated with seeking care, distance and time taken to travel were significantly associated with maternity healthcare services utilisation. Quality of service, staff attitude and women's autonomy showed consistent significant association with maternal health care utilisation. Conclusions: The study concludes that; costs of treatment, distance and time, income level, staff attitude and women's autonomy were critical in determining women utilisation of maternity care services. Recommendation: As an outcome of this research, best practice framework has been developed. The framework presents a coherent and systematic approach for achieving sustainable MH by providing a roadmap for instituting measures at the policy, health facility, community and at the individual levels, taking into account factors that are likely to promote or impede the achievement of sustainable MH.

▼ This thesis examines the
access that low-income
women of color have to home birth in New Mexico through qualitative research with home birth providers, New Mexico Licensed Midwives. New Mexican
women and families have been birthing their children in homes and community settings for generations. In contemporary New Mexico, pregnant
women can birth at home, in a free-standing birth center, or in a hospital setting.
This thesis seeks to explore: 1) The central tenets of home birth, as explained by Licensed Midwives; 2) The factors that impact
access to home birth in New Mexico as perceived by Licensed Midwives; 3) The framing language used by Licensed Midwives to describe potential clients in relationship to the outreach strategies used by Licensed Midwives to build their practices; and 4) Why or why not Licensed Midwives choose to accept Medicaid as a form of payment for home birth services and Licensed Midwife feedback on the Medicaid Birthing Options Program. Through exploration of these themes, this thesis includes recommended strategic directions for positively impacting
access to home birth for low-income
women of color in New Mexico.

▼ Honduras has some of the worst health outcomes for
women and children in the Americas. Despite major improvements over
the past 25 years, the country still lags behind neighboring
countries and regional averages. To address this disparity,
Honduras is slowly rolling out national health system
decentralization by delegating decision-making authority to the
municipal level in select municipalities throughout the country. It
is theorized that local ownership over the health system will
improve healthcare
access by customizing the health system to
better meet the needs of each community. The selective rollout of
decentralization in Honduras provides a natural experiment to
evaluate the impact on healthcare
access.Pre-and post-intervention
secondary health survey data and primary semi-structured interview
data were used to conduct a mixed methods analysis.
Difference-in-differences analyses show improvement in healthcare
access over time for
women and children, but limited improvement
attributable to the effect of decentralization. However,
qualitative analyses point toward improvement in healthcare
access
under decentralization. The diverging results may be due to
external factors, and/or a national-level prioritization of the
health of
women and children regardless of decentralization
status.

▼ This qualitative study is focused on understanding the why, what, when and how of maternal care utilization at Kawempe Health Centre (KHC), one of the biggest governmental run health centers in Kampala, Uganda. KHC lies in Kawempe division, one of Kampala’s five divisions and probably also the poorest. KHC was chosen with the help of The Liverpool-Mulago Partnership for Women’s and Children’s Health (LMP), an organization that tries to reduce the high maternal mortality rate in Uganda by providing governmental run health centres such as KHC with necessary equipment, skills and expertise. KHC is one of the governmental run health centers supported by LMP that has to cope with many problems ranging from unmotivated staff to lack of medicine, equipment and an ambulance. Yet, maternal deaths cannot solely be reduced by providing health centers with the necessary means- a better understanding of the personal situation of users of maternal care is also needed to provide care that fits the expectations and needs of its users. Therefore, this study tries to explain which factors are of influence on the utilization of maternal care.
The focus lies on local
women that are pregnant and make use of antenatal care and
women that have just given birth and make use of postnatal care at KHC. By letting 40
women tell their story, a better insight into the way in which utilization of maternal care is being shaped, has been provided. Central to the interviews are the socioeconomic and cultural background of the
women; the accessibility and quality of care and the perceptions of these
women on the care provided to them. These three topics are drawn from the
Access model of Peters et al.(2008) which has functioned as an analytical model to study the different components of health-seeking behavior of local
women at KHC. Therefore, other actors have also been drawn into this study. As the situation at KHC is poor, staff members have also been interviewed and incorporated to understand their side of the story. Their perceptions and opinions on the problems surrounding the provision of maternal care help to put the stories of the users in perspective. Further, community leaders and experts in the field of (maternal) care and health have also been interviewed to put the way in which maternal care at KHC is used and provided in a broader perspective.

▼ Introdução: Atualmente, o parto é visto como procedimento hospitalar, que quando humanizado, visa proporcionar processo de parturição seguro e confortável para a mãe e o bebê. Objetivo: Apreender as percepções, experiências e expectativas de gestantes quanto ao tipo de parto, no início e término da gestação e desenvolver estratégia educativa que favoreça a promoção do parto vaginal. Método: Utilizou-se abordagem qualitativa, adotando-se, como referencial teórico de análise de dados, os pressupostos da Humanização da Assistência Obstétrica, e o referencial metodológico do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre outubro de 2015 e maio de 2016, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com 15 gestantes, em dois momentos: o primeiro, antes da 20ª semana de gestação e o segundo, após a 35ª semana. A questão norteadora utilizada foi: Fale sobre o tipo de parto que você deseja (na primeira entrevista) e, para a segunda entrevista repetiu-se esta e foram incluídas outras duas questões: Você mudou de ideia? Por quê? Resultados: As 15 participantes tinham média de idade de 27,5 anos, variando entre 18 e 37 anos; nove mulheres eram primigestas, três haviam sofrido um aborto e três realizaram cesárea em gestação anterior. Com relação à gestação atual, 13 gestantes realizaram atendimento pré-natal no serviço público, em unidades básicas de saúde e duas, no setor de saúde suplementar, em consultórios médicos privados. Todas as gestantes tinham companheiro e mais de oito anos de aprovação escolar; predominantemente eram donas de casa. Apresentam-se os dados obtidos em quatro temas: 1. Vantagens do parto vaginal sobre a cesárea; 2. Medo e Imprevisibilidade do parto vaginal; 3. Importância do médico na definição do tipo de parto e 4. Influência da família e amigos na escolha do tipo de parto. Considerações finais: À partir dos discursos, evidencia-se o conhecimento das gestantes acerca dos benefícios do parto vaginal em relação à cesariana, entretanto, emergiram destes discursos, forças contrárias em relação ao primeiro, conforme a evolução da gestação. Produto do Mestrado Profissional: A partir das principais dúvidas sobre gravidez, parto e puerpério apresentadas pelas gestantes foram desenvolvidos cartões explicativos, com conteúdo claro e conciso, a serem utilizados em atividades educativas, como um jogo de perguntas e respostas, tendo por referência, os Manuais Técnicos do Ministério da Saúde.
Introduction: Currently, childbirth is seen as a hospital procedure, which when hu-manized, aims to provide a safe and comfortable parturition process for the mother and the baby. Objective: To understand the perceptions, experiences and expecta-tions of pregnant women regarding the type of delivery at the beginning and end of pregnancy and to develop an educational strategy that favors the promotion of vagi-nal delivery. Method: A qualitative approach was adopted, adopting, as a theoretical reference of data analysis, the assumptions of the Humanization of Obstetric Care, and the methodological reference of…

▼ The goal of this research study is to gain an understanding of the unique first year experiences of five minority
women in pursuit of engineering degrees at a Predominantly White Institution (PWI). The three-essay dissertation examines two research questions specifically, 1) As African American girls in urban communities overcome challenging circumstances to succeed in math and science in high school, what experiences do they report as motivating them to pursue engineering at a selective predominantly white institution (PWI)? and 2) What is the role of family, school and community networks in gaining college
access and their choice of major?
The three-essay dissertation addresses these questions by examining the academic trajectory and illuminating the first person narrative experiences of the African American
women, all of whom attend the same PWI. The papers will individually and collectively provide insight into the experiences of the five students, exploring issues of college
access and choice of major. The first essay examines the pre-college and summer bridge experiences of the five students in preparation for their first year of study and the social and cultural influences from their urban community. A second essay focuses on the high school to college transition of the five students, and the challenges they face as they traverse two very different worlds, leaving predominantly minority communities to attend a PWI. The
women identify challenges they experienced during this transition as they traverse multiple contexts. The focus of the third and final essay is a case study of the one student, who remained in engineering after the first year. The case study methodology provides the researcher an opportunity to triangulate several data sources in order to gain a detailed understanding of the student’s experiences of persistence in contrast to the four other
women, who left the field of engineering. The researcher examines their social and cultural networks and the complexities of race and gender in a field where minorities and
women have been historically under-represented. The findings suggest that the young
women were guided onto an engineering college pathway, by the social and cultural resources found in their own urban communities.
The findings are expected to guide future more expansive research and invoke discussion among practitioners in student and academic affairs about institutional interventions to support college diversity, student engagement and the retention of African American
women in engineering.

▼ Women play significant roles in the household food security in most developing countries.
However, they are constrained by many socio-economic and institutional factors. In the light
of this, this study assessed the role of
women in the agro-pastoral household food security
compared to what men do in Erer woreda. It also assessed the factors that are related and
those that constrained women’s role in household food security.
To realize these objectives the study used both qualitative and quantitative methods in four
rural representative villages of this food economic zone. The study found out the income
generated from non-domestic activities and hence the purchasing power of households to be
crucial in household food security in the woreda. In this respect, the data verified
women in
the woreda to play significant roles in the household food security.
Women engage into various food processing activities in the households. Furthermore,
women participate in the different crop and livestock production activities. Particularly,
women dominate in the livestock production management. Similarly,
women out weigh in
both crop and livestock products marketing than men. More importantly,
women contribute
more income than men to the households. In consequence,
women spend their individual
incomes primarily on the households food needs and on children’s health while men spend
half of their income on personal needs.

However, there are several factors that limit women’s roles in the household food security in
the woreda. Primarily,
women have little control over critical household productive resources.
xiii
Furthermore, they have poor
access to institutional support such as training, technology and
credit facilities. Similarly, they have poor decision-making power in the household mainly
over income.
On the other hand, the negative perceptions of the larger community about women’s roles are
caused by socio-economic and cultural factors. Over and above, in promoting their roles in
the household food security
women are constrained by several socio-economic factors. These
are mainly lack of capital, absence of transport, market, and workload and water shortage
among others. In a nutshell, the
women in the woreda are the basis to the household food
security. Therefore, in order to improve the household food security and up-grade women’s
roles in this regard the prevailing problems in the woreda need concerted efforts to be
considered in gender approach from all concerned bodies.

▼ Women with disabilities are marginalised in many aspects of societal participation. The
majority of
women with disabilities in Zambia do not have
access to education and this has
placed them amongst the poorest of people in the country. The study focuses on the
experiences of
women with physical disabilities and investigates the challenges they
encounter in accessing education at tertiary level. The study comes at a time when the fight
for gender equality has gained momentum and aims at promoting economic participation for
all members of society without discrimination on the basis of sex or disability. The study
engaged ten participants from a tertiary institution in Kamwala, Lusaka. I conducted a
feminist qualitative research, which focused on the experiences of 19-30 year old female
students with physical disabilities. I used semi-structured interviews in order to collect the
data and drew on a qualitative thematic analysis to analyse the data. All standard ethical
procedures were adhered to, including anonymity and confidentiality with respect to
participants. The results of the study revealed that
women with disabilities were often
'othered' due to myths and misconceptions that surrounded disability especially in the
African- traditional context. The study also revealed that families played a very important
role in ensuring that
women and young girls with disabilities had a strong self-image, strong
self-esteem and a strong sense of self and ensuring that they felt included within the homes
and especially when accessing education. The study further revealed that where family
support was lacking, participants faced challenges in accessing education compared to
participants who received such support. More so, that educational opportunities in Zambia are
generally gendered with more males than females in the education system, across the multiple
levels.
Access to the tertiary level for this group of
women is compromised because
challenges in accessing education start at the lower levels and have spill over effects in to the
higher levels of education. Financial challenges experienced by
women with disabilities and
their families also led to fewer
women with disabilities being able to participate in schooling.
This is because where there were limited resources within the family,
women, and girls with
disabilities getting an education was not an option.

▼ BACKGROUND: Women in Pakistan experience a high prevalence of depression; yet make negligible use of mental health services. Information about the barriers and facilitators to mental health services for women is scarce. The present study explored the barriers and facilitators in accessing mental health services and potential strategies to increase the access for women in Karachi.
METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted with the help of 78 interviews. Women from primary care were screened for depression and thirty in-depth interviews were conducted with those who were not accessing mental health services. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted with women accessing mental health services for depression at mental health clinics. Nineteen key informant interviews were conducted with various stakeholders. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded for thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Themes elicited were categorized into family and household, health services, and socio-cultural levels. At family and household level, lack of awareness, normalization of depression, lack of empowerment, burden of looking after children and threats of divorce discouraged women from seeking professional care. Stigma, discouragement to seek mental health care and religious interpretations of depression were reported as broader socio-cultural issues, driving many to visit faith healers instead. Gaps in medical education, general practitioners’ case overload, and poor quality of health care, gender bias, poor resource allocation and dearth of referral systems were highlighted as barriers at health services level.
For facilitators themes of awareness, concern for children, the severity of the symptoms, family support, receiving a referral, affordability and organizational support were identified as factors that enabled women to access services. Both women and key-informants suggested that providing community-based interventions could be a viable option to increase the access.
CONCLUSION: Study findings suggest that providing mental health services in communities, and reforming medical education through the training of health workers can improve access to mental health services for women. An intervention is proposed to provide mental health services through community based lady health workers in Karachi. This may provide more accessible, and potentially cost effective, mental health services to better address the mental health needs of the population.

Access to Justice for Young Refugee Women in Nakivale Refugee Settlement : A Human Rights-Based Approach.

▼ This thesis investigates young refugee women’s experience of the process of seeking access to justice for cases of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Nakivale refugee settlement in Uganda. A Human Rights-based Approach (HRBA) is chosen as an analytical framework to help conceptualise access to justice and to recognise Uganda’s commitment to refugees. A qualitative explanatory approach follows the narrative of Burundian and Congolese women. Findings show that Nakivale refugee settlement has an overwhelming demand for legal services and support. Refugee women can raise a claim for justice through the established administrative structures in place within the settlement. All refugee women were aware of their entitlements to a remedy and on the process of reporting SGBV. Yet, the analysis shows that none of the SGBV-survivors of rape or sexual exploitation was able to have access to justice. Several barriers were brought forward, such as corruption among refugee welfare committees; limited staff and resources among partner organisations; a bureaucratic referral system; poor police investigations and an inability to persecute perpetrators. The consequences without effective and timely remedies led the interviewed women into further poverty and a continuation of violence and abuse. This thesis concludes that Refugee Welfare Committees have to be attributed to some sort of compensation as validation for their work as justice providers to mitigate corruption among their leaders. Further research is encouraged to look into possibilities of extending the mandate and training for Refugee Welfare Committees, for refugee-based structures to be able to handle cases of SGBV.

▼ ABSTRACT
This study investigated the information seeking behaviour of Zambian women entrepreneurs, specifically focusing on their information needs, information sources, barriers to information access, and usage of information and communication technologies (ICTs). For conceptual framework, the social network approach, Chatman’s Information Poverty theory, and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) were used to examine and understand the various characteristics of Zambian women entrepreneurs’ information seeking behaviour. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, five key questions were asked on the women’s information needs, information sources, barriers to information access, women’s level of knowledge and skills in the use of technology, and on women’s social network networks. The research involved two data collection techniques: 1) a questionnaire which was administered to 300 women business owners; and 2) qualitative inquiry consisting of in-depth interviews with 25 participants who had also completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire made it possible to collect data on various thematic areas of the study. The findings of the study show that most Zambian women business owners need information on market opportunities, information on sources of raw materials, funding sources, and information on government programs. The results of the study also show that family, friends, and acquaintances are some of women’s major sources of information. Others are tradeshows, internet, workshops and seminars. Other findings of the study indicate that the level of knowledge and use of information and communication technologies among Zambian women entrepreneurs is very low. The majority of them lack computer skills and have limited knowledge of computer applications. Results of the study also reveal that women entrepreneurs face numerous barriers to information access. Some of the barriers cited are lack of financial resources, high cost of ICTs, poor networks, non-availability of current information, poor government policies, and lack of information skills among women business owners. The study recommends that the Zambian government, the private sector and other stakeholders take measures to provide entrepreneurial support to Zambian women business owners, especially as would improve their business environment for entrepreneurial success and for the economic development of the country.

▼ During armed conflicts,
women experience more abuses than their male counterpart. Besides, the disruption of national security systems resulting form the social and political troubles, exposes
women to more violation of their human rights in the postconflict setting. During the last decade, the international community has employed noteworthy efforts to protect
women from the effects of armed conflicts, and to ensure the prosecution of violators of women’s rights in post-conflict situations. This included inter alia, the adoption of binding treaties calling for protection of
women against sexual and gender based violence(GBV), and the creation of an international Criminal Court and International tribunals to prosecute persons for the most serious crimes of international concern, including sexual and gender violence. During the armed conflict that occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) between 1996 and 2003, a significant number of GBV acts were committed against
women. Reports and statistical data from humanitarian organisations working in the DRC indicated an increase of GBV acts against
women after the official cessation of the conflict. Moreover, reports indicated the emergence of GBV acts against
women in areas that did not witness such acts during the conflict. The research paper interrogates, from a criminal justice angle, the response given to GBV acts perpetrated against
women in the post-conflict setting. Furthermore, the research questions the
access of
women to justice and interrogates the challenges bedevilling this
access at the national and international level. In addition, the research formulates recommendations aimed at enhancing the
access of
women survivor of GBV to justice, and for an effective prosecution of perpetrators of such acts.

▼ The UN Refugee Agency reports that 70.8 million people have been forcibly displaced at the end of 2018. Canada has a long history of accepting refugees and is the second largest resettlement country in the world. While refugees arrive to safety and protection in Canada, language, socio-economic barriers, and cultural differences contribute to struggles. The effects of war, family separation, displacement and long travel may pose more stresses on
women, particularly when overlapping with pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for children. Considering the recent influx of refugees, particularly from Syria, it is important to understand how Manitoba is addressing the mental health needs of Syrian refugee
women.
The objectives of this study were to 1) conduct a literature review on the mental healthcare needs and barriers in accessing services by refugee
women in the Canadian context; 2) explore the perspectives of Syrian Refugee
women on how they experience mental health and the healthcare system in Winnipeg; 3) explore the perspectives of service providers and decision-makers on how refugee
women experience mental health and
access healthcare services in Winnipeg; and 4) provide policy recommendations to improve mental healthcare services in Manitoba based on the research findings.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Syrian refugee
women and service providers/decision makers in Winnipeg. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis and coded for themes aided by NVivo 12 software. The findings presented in two broad
subject areas – barriers in accessing mental healthcare services and strategies to improve mental healthcare services for refugee
women in Winnipeg.
Most cited barriers by refugee
women were language, weather, employment and income level, stigma and system navigation. The service providers mentioned stigma, and lack of resources to provide culturally competent care. Collaboration among agencies, leadership at all levels, and education for both refugee
women and service providers were also mentioned. This study recommends that service providers use guidelines developed by UNHCR in providing culturally competent care, decision makers take leadership roles in implementing better collaboration among agencies, the employers be open in hiring refugees, and educational initiatives for the broader society to ensure that refugees feel welcomed and included.
