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

这个项目探讨了英国妇女援助的出现和实践的跨国维度。妇女援助组织的成立是为了通过提供咨询和庇护所来应对家庭暴力，迄今为止，人们只把它作为一项全国性的努力加以探讨，但国际对话以及当地对需要的反应为该运动提供了信息。通过调查活动家的意识形态和实践以及服务使用者的经历，本项目将把英国的妇女援助运动置于跨国背景下，并确定种族对理解这一重要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.
