Depuis plusieurs années, professionnels et chercheurs s’attaquent au problème de la maltraitance, plus particulièrement en direction de l’enfant battu. Ce n’est que de façon très récente que le thème des abus sexuels à enfant est devenu un thème prioritaire. Après d’autres pays occidentaux, on a cherché en France à évaluer l’importance de ce problème, sa gravité et son éventuelle prévention. L’analyse critique des travaux anglo-saxons présentée par Marcela Montès de Oca, prend ici toute son importance pour attirer l’attention du chercheur sur les biais méthodologiques et la difficulté à définir l’abus sexuel. C. Ydraut montre, dans l’extrait qu’elle présente de ses travaux, les rapports entre la prohibition de l’inceste et les mythes et contes qui en traitent. Enfin, au moment où les pouvoirs publics engagent une campagne de prévention des abus sexuels à l’égard des enfants, la médiatisation de ce problème devant être étudiée : c’est ce qu’a fait Anne Markowitz. Elle saisit à travers les articles de presse la perception radicalement différente du grand public selon que l’abus sexuel est exercé sur l’enfant dans ou hors de sa famille.

"'Gender Matters' is a manual aimed to assist educators and youth leaders work on issues of gender and gender-based violence with young people. This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women’s movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970–81). It considers women’s art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s – Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva – forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May ’68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.
