Women's Aid as an international endeavour, 1971-1993.

这个项目探索了英国妇女援助的产生和实践的跨国层面。成立妇女援助组织，通过提供咨询和庇护所来应对家庭暴力，迄今仅被作为一项国家努力加以探讨，但这项运动是由国际对话和当地对需要的反应所推动的。通过调查活动家的思想和实践以及服务使用者的经验，这个项目将把英国的妇女援助运动置于一个跨国的背景下，并确定种族对理解这一重要的女权主义项目的重要性。

This project explores the transnational dimensions of the emergence and practice of Women's Aid in Britain. The founding of Women's Aid as a response to domestic violence through the provision of advice and shelters, has hitherto been explored only as a national endeavour but the movement was informed by international conversations as well as local responses to need. By investigating the ideologies and practices of activists and the experiences of service-users, this project will position the Women's Aid movement in Britain within a transnational context and identify the saliency of race to an understanding of this important feminist project.
