Book Description
In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.

This interdisciplinary volume opens an innovative space for critical discussion, and production of new imaginaries within, feminist scholarship, analysis and feminist politics, about what is and has been meant by, involved in, required of, and what it means to be, a “wife.” Contributions within this volume together critically explore and tease out, intersections, overlaps, and distinctions between the social categories of wife and mother, and the link, and separate, labours of wife-work and maternal caregiving labour. This volume brings together diverse critical perspectives through creative contributions, personal narratives, and scholarly works. Chapters discuss critical theorizing about roles, representations, identities, and work associated with being a “wife.”

[...] By facilitating sharing of information and best practices, the CCOHR ensures awareness of treaty obligations, including the views of treaty bodies, which can influence policy and program development, and in turn contribute to the implementation of the treaties. [...] The CCOHR also facilitates the preparation of Canada's reports to the UN on its implementation of human rights treaties and discussion of the concluding observations. [...] Canada has also integrated gender equality into its development cooperation with countries in conflict, post-conflict, and reconstruction, for example, support for victims of sexual violence, technical assistance in the area of gender equality, which resulted in the creation of family violence units in police forces and the establishment of women's shelters, and research on the involvement of girl.

[...] Scope of the problem in Québec and Canada The scope of the problem of children's exposure to domestic violence stems from the scope of the violence itself. [...] Statistics Canada's Violence Against Women Survey found that 52% of victims whose children were exposed to such violence feared for their life, while 61% were injured by their partner.7 Even though it is reassuring to note that women are more inclined to report incidents of domestic violence and to leave their spouse when they realize their children are exposed to this type of violence, the proble [...] Scope of the problem elsewhere On the basis of 48 population surveys conducted in various parts of the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) asserts that from 10% to 69% of women have been physically assaulted by an intimate male partner at some time in their life.17 As far as the exposure of children to domestic violence is concerned, WHO reports that 64% of abused women who took part in a s.
