What does it exactly mean? How is it different from Social Work otherwise? On the occasion of March 8, I would like to explain what it signifies. Patriarchy is a social malaise that breeds inequality of sexes. There are good and bad men. There are good and bad women too. A good man may be pitted against a bad woman. The issue here is not about the goodness or badness of human beings. What is so special about &#8216;feminist&#8217; interventions in systems? Here, there is no place for, &#8216;aadmi hai&#8230;karte hai&#8230;galti ho jaati hai&#8217;. One thing is clear from the very beginning.&nbsp;<strong>There is no place for violence against a woman<\/strong>&#8230;no matter what the provocation. Feminist interventionists believe that everyone can change. A man can change. The goal of the intervention is to&nbsp;<strong>stop the violence<\/strong>. A feminist social worker knows that the mother-in-law or the step-mother is not the enemy. As of now, the police is a male-dominated preaching service. Under Indian social conditions, the police are nowhere even close to the unarmed benevolent British Bobby. The association of a social worker with police work against domestic and other violence against women is a necessary partnership. The social worker\/interventionist can be a man or woman.S\/he has to keep the &#8216;violated&#8217; woman as the priority focus. Feminist intervention is a process in an environment of trust and safety that enable a distressed woman to learn and explore her options and understand and manage her own problems. Feminist intervention is a process of empowering a woman to understand her own capabilities to lead a&nbsp;<strong>violence-free life.<\/strong><em>&#8211;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>by Papri Sri Raman<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vitasta&#8217;s new book,&nbsp;Multi-Agency Response To Violence Against Women, has a provocative subtitle, &#8216;Feminist Social Work with the Police system&#8217;.
