Abstract:
In Sub-Saharan Africa, two out of five children are malnourished and malnutrition causes almost half of the child deaths (45%). Mothers are the primary caretaker of children's health, but unfortunately, most of the mothers, are not empowered in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the role of mother’s empowerment in the reduction of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, and underweight) among children under five years of age in twenty-two Sub-Saharan African countries. Cross-sectional data from the most recent Demographic Health Survey (2011-2016) of twenty-two countries are used to analyze the relationship between mother's empowerment and child malnutrition through the binary logistic regression analysis. Results show that the countries with low empowerment, the prevalence of malnutrition is high. Mother empowerment is found to be a statistically significant predictor in reducing malnutrition. Mother’s education, body mass index, and age at first birth proved to be a strong predictor for reducing malnutrition. Household wealth index and household locality also have a statistically significant impact on the reduction of malnutrition. At the household level, malnutrition of children can be minimized by empowering boosting their self-esteem, self-confidence, economic resources, social resources, awareness and decision making.

Abstract:
SummaryIn contrast to the extensive knowledge on the association between women’s empowerment and the nutritional status of children under the age of five, relatively little is known about the influence of women’s empowerment on adolescents’ nutritional status. This study aimed to assess the association between women’s empowerment and gender inequalities in adolescent nutritional status. Data were from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) covering the period 1997 to 2015, and consisted of 16,683 observations from 13,396 adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 years born in 6781 families. Three indicators of women’s empowerment were used: mother’s education, mother’s bargaining power and mother’s working status. Multivariate linear regression with robust standard errors was used to examine whether and how these indicators of women’s empowerment influenced adolescent nutritional status. Interaction terms were added to analyse how the association between women’s empowerment and adolescent nutritional status differed by gender. The results showed that mother’s education and mother’s working status were significantly associated with adolescent nutritional status, particularly with height-for-age. Adolescents of well-educated mothers had a higher height-for-age while those who were raised by mothers with a blue-collar job had a lower height-for-age. Although no gender differences were found for height-for-age, gender differences for BMI-for-age were obvious, with boys having a lower BMI-for-age than girls. Interactions between indicators of mother’s empowerment and gender showed that the gender gap in BMI-for-age was smaller for adolescents of more educated mothers. However, further analyses of food consumption patterns showed that boys whose mothers were more educated consumed more fast food and had higher instant noodle consumption than girls, thus suggesting gender bias in new disguise.

The incidence of single-parent families has been rising continuously where the divorce has become a popular solution for people in seeking the final clarity towards the marriage problems. This figure is consistent with the current trend worldwide upon this topic of single mothers. An enormous increase in the number of single mothers due to divorce has become a reasonable approach for the people in seeking the final clarity towards the marriage problems. In Malaysia, single mothers can be classified as in two variables which are parental death and spousal separation or divorce; parenting is a tough job without a spouse helping in a child's development.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive under 5-year-old due to chronic malnutrition causing the children become too short for their age. The contribution of this research is to prevent and reduce stunting through Stunting Early Detection training. AIM: The objective of the current research is to develop a model for mother empowerment in preventing and intervention stunting in children through stunting early detection training. METHODS: Phase I is the development of a mother empowerment model in the prevention and intervention of stunting in children using a survey with a cross sectional design. Phase II is the implementation of the model using Quasi Experimental Nonrandomized Prepost Control Group Design. RESULTS: The results of the study obtained that mothers who had good characteristics increased their knowledge 0.423 (p = 0.000). Mothers who have good knowledge increase their mother commitment 0.230 (p = 0.004), mothers who have a good commitment reduce stunting in children 0.448 (p = 0.000), mothers who have good knowledge increase family support 0.236 (p = 0.040), and good family support reduces stunting 0.257 (p = 0.011). CONCLUSION: A new finding is the formation of a Mother Empowerment Model in the Prevention and Intervention of Stunting through Stunting Early Detection Training where mother commitment is the most influential factor.

Abstract:
Exclusive breastfeeding is very important for baby's growth and development. In 2015, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Bali Province still has not reached the expected target number. The motivation of a mother is crucial in giving exclusive breastfeeding for six months. One of the factors that influence the motivation of exclusive breastfeeding is the mother’s employment status. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the employment status of mothers with the motivation of exclusive breastfeeding. This study was a correlative study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 90 nursing mothers who had babies aged 0-6 months obtained by purposive sampling technique. Data collection was used a questionnaire. The chi-square test showed p value 0,003 (p < 0.05) which means that there was a relationship between the employment status of mothers with the motivation of exclusive breastfeeding. The results of this study is expected to be a picture for health workers to provide health promotion about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and to improve community empowerment in an effort to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers is expected to actively seek information about exclusive breastfeeding so that the mother's motivation in giving exclusive breastfeeding increases.

Abstract:
Introduction: The diagnosis of autistic disorder may impose stress on the child’s parents especially the mother of the baby. Raising a child with autistic disorder reduces parents' quality of life. This study examined the effect of group therapy using a cognitive approach on empowerment in the mothers of children with autistic disorder. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out with 80 mothers of children with the autistic disorder. They referred to Autism Society Rehabilitation Center in Tabriz, Iran. The mothers were randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was divided into 4 groups of 10, and each group participated in 10 sessions of group therapy using the cognitive approach. The control group received the routine care. Data were collected using the Family Empowerment Scale (FES) before the intervention and two months after the intervention. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics [t-test, χ2, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)] via the SPSS software. Results: The independent t-test showed that the means of total empowerment and its dimensions had no statistically significant differences before the intervention. However, after the intervention, such differences between the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.001); so that the mothers in the intervention group achieved higher scores on empowerment and its dimensions compared with the control group. Conclusion: Group therapy using the cognitive approach can be used by healthcare professionals in rehabilitation centers for empowering the mothers of children with autistic disorder.

Abstract:
Empowerment is often cited as a fundamental component of health promotion strategies. Anecdotes suggest that Save the Children's integrated nutrition project empowers local women and health volunteers. The aim of this research was to document the degree to which this is being accomplished. Using qualitative methodologies, we conducted a cross-sectional assessment to compare self-reported changes in identified empowerment domains among 17 program health volunteers and 20 mothers involved in a child nutrition intervention and among five Women's Union leaders and five mothers in a non-intervention comparison commune. Intervention mothers reported increased knowledge, confidence, and information sharing about child-care and feeding, while non-intervention mothers reported minimal changes in these domains. Both intervention health volunteers and non-intervention Women's Union leaders expressed improvements in knowledge, confidence, and relationships with community members. In this study we found that the relative increases in empowerment were greater for mothers than for health volunteers. Intervention mothers reported more sharing of information on child relationships with community members than Women's Union leaders. The increased information sharing has positive implications for spread of key messages to families that did not directly participate in intensive feeding and the sustainability of the intervention's impact. Future research should focus on developing culturally specific concepts of empowerment to better understand the effects of empowerment efforts. This study's identification of empowerment domains will inform future empowerment studies in Vietnam.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the level of a sense of empowerment among mothers and fathers of children with autism. The relationship between a sense of empowerment and socio-demographic variables characterising the respondents including the parents was also analysed. Among the participants, there were 74 parents of autistic children (39 mothers, 35 fathers), 77 parents of children with Down syndrome (40 mothers, 37 fathers) as well as 80 parents of typically developing children (40 mothers, 40 fathers). Two statistical tools, namely the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, were employed in this study. The results show a higher level of a sense of empowerment when it comes to the evaluation of own knowledge and competences in mothers of autistic children than in mothers of children with Down syndrome, contrary to fathers of autistic children whose level of a sense of empowerment is lower within the said scope compared with fathers of children with Down syndrome.

Abstract:
Mother’s Group is one of the basic groups for women empowerment. It has been functioning for women’s empowerment and social development. Mothers group has managed many skill development programs, income generating programs, literacy programs etc which helped them to make independent. Mother’s group, self-help groups (SHG) and community-based organizations (CBO) play a vital role towards women empowerment by providing vocational trainings, training for self-employment, protection for women and self-awareness programs. Thus, they are mainly concerned with the upliftment of the women in the society. Empowerment of women has been a topic discussed at length in recent times and many strategies have been implemented to address enhance women’s condition. This paper seeks to explore some measure that should be adopted in order to position rural women as equal players in entrepreneurship and economic development. This paper discusses upon the empowerment of rural women by means of self-help group or mother’s group and the advantages of such groups among the rural women.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenological aspect in the empowerment process of mothers of children with disabilities, and to determine if the coding categories used by Dunst & Trivette (1996) could be replicated. Three mothers of children with disabilities agreed to participate in the study. A semistructured interview was used to determine the specific events that lead to empowerment. Interviews were audio-taped and transcribed by the researcher. Fifteen coding categories and four majors themes of empowerment were identified. Triangulation was used to assure reliability and validity. The findings demonstrated that the coding stages of empowerment as outlined by Dunst & Trivette (1996) are reproducible, as well as the envisionment of the future for their children is the essence of empowerment for these mothers. Specific suggestions are made by which occupational therapists can facilitate the empowerment process of mothers who have children with disabilities.

Abstract:
In Benin, women in general and rural women in particular are central to the development and sustenance of the household, community, and society at large. Yet, often, they lack the agency, as a result of limited education, life skills, and resources, to contribute to community development, or the structures in place (laws, religious beliefs, policies, and institutions) limit women’s ability to participate in community development. As a result of their limited agency and the unequal structures in society, women in Benin have often been denied participation in decisions around education, health, economy, and agriculture. While women are key actors in all these sectors, they are often not represented sufficiently in the discussions that shape their lives. Women in Benin have collectively organized into associations to address these issues. Associations such as Mothers Associations (MAs) in Benin, have emerged with the specific purpose of improving the education of their daughters. MAs function under the umbrella of Parent Associations (PAs) to address issues of particular concern to girl students. While PAs have helped to improve basic education by putting pressure on school administrators and political leaders to address the quality of schools, these associations have been primarily male dominated, rarely identifying the specific barriers to education for girls. My dissertation has three main objectives: to assess how MAs in Benin have collectively mobilized to enhance the quality of education for schoolgirls; to determine whether MA activities and mobilization efforts have led to women’s empowerment and influence within their respective communities; and to examine whether MAs have had an impact on changing harmful social norms. Overall, the objective of this research is to examine how members of the MAs have used their collective agency to enhance gender equality within the school and community life. Through a critical feminist approach and applying a socio-ecological model, I examine the process in which African women have mobilized, collaborated, and advocated for girls’ education in ways that subtly undermine the harmful relations of power that govern their position in society.

Abstract:
Researchers have been increasingly interested in the tensions between paid work and unpaid work since the 1960s. Recently, the term ‘work/life balance’ has gained attention and even political interest, with the Australian Prime Minister, Mr John Howard, announcing it to be a “barbecue stopper” discussion item in 2003. Research has found that work/life conflict impacts upon businesses, families, individuals and communities in terms of lost production, increased health care demands and diminished quality of life. Despite the complexities of work/life balance being intensely interesting to researchers, few have considered the experiences of one of the most time-pressured and socially disadvantaged sub-cultural groups in society in regards to work/life balance: sole mothers. Sole mothers are often constrained by ‘multiple barriers’ and are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, social isolation and a decreased ability to cope with day-to-day pressures and stressors. Such issues affect an increasing number in Australian society as sole mothers have nearly trebled since 1971 and, it is estimated, are set to increase by a further 30% to 60% by the year 2021. This study aims to examine key life domains in the lives of a group of sole mothers to investigate whether the term work/life balance is a useful construct in understanding their lives and wellbeing. Study aims were achieved through utilising a research design aimed at producing grounded theory, enabling the challenging of currently held perceptions regarding work/life balance. At a theoretical level this study adopts social constructivism and feminism as base frameworks, supporting a four-phase data collection strategy which combines in-depth interviews and reflexive ethnography. The domains of paid work and unpaid work have typically featured strongly in regards to work/life balance and recent theorists propose that models should be extended to include health, financial resources, friendships and leisure as key factors. Findings in this study support this assertion, but go further in challenging and extending the debate on work/life balance in society. The findings of this study highlight the many constraints facing sole mothers, the complex nature of ‘balance’ in their lives and the strategies they employ to cope and juggle their many responsibilities. The external life domains suggested by work/life balance theorists all featured in the mothers’ balancing, each offering up constraints and/or opportunities for agency and empowerment. Additional themes of control, choice, sleep and life expectations also emerged strongly in relation to balance and wellbeing. These new themes highlight a view of balance which could be about either ‘juggling’ life domains or experiencing a subjective feeling, giving rise to the identification of two kinds of balance: outer and inner. This thesis proposes that outer balance is reliant upon external domains such as paid work and unpaid work as well as key relationships, financial resources, health and leisure. A sense of inner balance, reliant upon a subjective assessment of the attainment of outer balance in terms of one’s life expectations, was also a key aspect of these mothers’ experience. Inner balance is connected to the experience and attainment of choice and control. Leisure time provides opportunities for reflexivity, assisting in creating and maintaining a sense of self and guiding life decisions, offering opportunities for the attainment of both inner and outer balances. This holistic representation of balance challenges and broadens our understanding of the work/life balance debate by combining external and internal factors and by proposing that balance should not be an end unto itself but, instead, a means to an end: the attainment of a life worth living.

In the second chapter I analyse the effects of exploiting an innovative educational program implemented in Latin America on children’s cognitive and non-cognitive skills. Finally, in the third chapter of my thesis I look at the effects of this same program on women’s empowerment.

Abstract:
This study is concerned with how mothers, who have been referred to a children's centre for support with parenting, interpret their interactions with professionals including midwives, health visitors, social workers and family support workers. Previous studies have concentrated on unhelpful, "them and us" othering practices, this project aimed to consider mothers' interpretations of interactions, exploring verbal and non-verbal interactions as well as identifying what interactions with professionals that were helpful or not and why? To explore mothers' stories, I designed an arts based performance ethnographic methodology. Through the use of theme boards and stream of consciousness writing in a drama group context, text was collected over an eighteen month period from 16 mothers. Initial review, editing and distilling of text was carried out with participants, generating 18 scenes for a play performed together in front of a live audience. Text not used in the play was further analysed using narrative analysis and produced an overarching metaphor of a 'dance of compliance'. The dance explores images of mothers navigating steps of vulnerability, risk and compliance. Inhabiting the dance were many overlapping victimizing narratives exposing stories of parenting support presented as life enhancing in a context of scarcity. I found that the women kept dancing not because they were empowered but because the dance is obligatory, driven by the systematic production of unhelpful signs that come to constitute their reality. Theoretical perspective/s used in analysis highlight how children's centres could become a space for symbolic exchanges of support bringing into the light steps of fortitude and humanity. Recommendations for practice centre on the need for professionals to engage in empathic interactions whist always looking for opportunities for mothers to participate in the day to day activities of parenting support.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine how the work of NGOs can be beneficial for teenage mothers’ in the Philippines. We wanted to study why they sought support of an NGO and how their lives were impacted after they made contact with an NGO. Teenage pregnancy rates have been rising in the Philippines and mostly affect the young mothers negatively i.e. they often have to quit school and be financially dependent on their parents. They are a stigmatized group and to understand their situation you have to comprehend how the context in the Philippines comes to affect them.  The study was conducted using a qualitative inductive method. By using semi-structured interviews, we have collected our material by interviewing eight young mothers who were in contact with two different organizations.  The result of the study shows that the work of NGOs has a significant influence in improving the young mothers’ lives both mentally and physically. When becoming pregnant they get rejected by their social circle and are left on their own because they are viewed as a disgrace. To analyze our result, we have used stigmatization and empowerment as theoretical framework. The study has shown that the environment is crucial for the outcome of their lives and that the organizations’ play an important role in their lives to empower them to take action and start something new.

Abstract:
New immigrants to Canada are identified as a vulnerable population in mental health and, as a result, organizations are signaling the need to enhance their mental health supports. The research uses focus groups and questions based on the messaging of a Canadian school mental health program to understand how new immigrant mothers interpret and develop key aspects of their mental health literacy and how they attain parent empowerment. A thematic assessment of the knowledge, interpretation, action and decision-making of the study participants (n=7), all recent immigrants to Canada and mothers of high school students, shows that new immigrant mothers are prepared to follow a path towards mental health literacy. At the same time, however, there are barriers that can block progression towards mental health literacy for this audience. These findings are supported by three umbrella themes: the first main theme “home as haven” espouses maternal roles in mental health maintenance such as protector and communicator, the second main theme “knowledge versus suspicions of mental health and mental illness” represents informed views and support of mental illness and myths and illusions of mental illness, and the third main theme, “additional barriers to mental health literacy” includes the hardships of immigration and fear of knowledge. The study concludes that new immigrant mothers appreciate the importance of fostering mental health understanding and discussion with their children at the same time that they encounter obstacles to the advancement of their mental health literacy. This study is relevant to the field of communication in that it demonstrates the experience of new immigrant mothers as a secondary audience in mental health programming. As the caregivers of their children, they are in position to enforce the messages and health maintenance behaviours of a school-based mental health program aimed at adolescents.

Abstract:
AbstractSurrogacy is becoming a new cause for transnational feminism and the public debate is strongly influenced by the commodification and autonomy/choice frames used in other battles of feminism (abortion and prostitution). This chapter will discuss the scarce appeal of the defence of women from commodification in an individualistic society that legitimizes self-determination at any cost and self-objectification; it will also highlight female agency in choosing to participate in surrogacy, inviting to understand these decisions in light of some characteristics of contemporary society, including the imperative to individual choice as well as the human domination over nature through technology; in light of the limitations of women’s freedom during pregnancy for others, the claim of surrogacy as a space for expression of a woman’s autonomy will be questioned; the claim of surrogacy as empowerment will also be questioned, highlighting the negative impact on the social condition of women. Finally, it will be proposed to shift the focus of the debate from adults to children, and, in particular, to their separation at birth from the one they identify as mother: this removal, even if done without wanting to harm, could be framed as a form of violence.

Abstract:
The physical and psychological repercussions of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) against women are long-lasting and far-reaching, and it is by no accident that CRSV is now widely referred to as a “weapon of war.” Many women conceive a child as a result of CRSV, but due to long-standing customs and traditions in some conservative societies surrounding gender roles and sexuality, these mothers and children are highly stigmatized. Often in these situations, fleeing is the only option for them. Countries such as the Netherlands that host asylum seekers and refugees and provide psychological support are faced with the challenging task of addressing the intricate needs of mothers and children born of sexual violence. This chapter discusses the victimhood of these dyads, the challenges they face, and future directions for providing optimal care and treatment.

Abstract:
Health of the mothers is of prime concern for growth of any country, and their level of empowerment can be significantly related to the place of delivery selected for birth of a child. Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is an astute attempt towards safeguarding maternal health by Government of India under the flagship health programme, National Rural Health Mission, to promote institutional deliveries among the poor pregnant women. Safe deliveries at the institutions are an indicator of women empowerment and inclusive growth, which paves the way towards economic growth by securing the health and well-being of mothers in rural areas, thereby sustaining productive capacities of women. The chapter assesses the rise in proportion of institutional deliveries among JSY beneficiaries with increased awareness under JSY in Punjab, after carefully assessing the situation of maternal health prevailing in the world, India, and state of Punjab. Further, policy measures have been recommended to augment women's health and empowerment, an inclusive economic growth parameter of country's growth trajectory.

Abstract:
In the late 1960s, at the peak of the Puerto Rican- and Black-led community control movement, United Bronx Parents, an organization of mostly immigrant mothers, launched the city’s first sustained grassroots campaign to improve school lunch. This chapter explores the tenets of community control and the related movement of welfare rights to show how both informed the approach of parent organizers who staged the campaign and challenged New York City’s Board of Education to improve services to school-aged children. The chapter also shows how food became a tool of empowerment: the campaign helped parents move from blaming themselves to having a systemic understanding of their children’s disenfranchisement within a racist public school system. The campaign gave parent organizers the knowledge that they could solve problems more effectively than could school administrators.

Abstract:
Background: Heart Failure (HF) is a highly dysfunctional disease, with impact on the biopsychosocial dimensions of the patients. The worldwide progressive growth of HF incidence, caused by longer life expectancy, results in higher HF rehospitalization rates. HF patients’ rehospitalization is mostly a result of avoidable causes, including limitations in knowledge regarding HF self-care and impaired therapeutic adherence; therefore, the intervention of nurses is essential. Goals: To identify nursing interventions to address alterations in Basic Human Needs (BHN) and to promote relief of symptoms for HF patients as they transition from hospital to home, including follow-up care. Method: A systematic review in CINAHL and MEDLINE databases to answer the study question: In patients with HF, what nursing interventions help to improve BHN, promote relief of symptoms and aid the transition from hospital to home? Results: Nine studies were included. Nursing interventions focused on relief of symptoms during hospitalization to promote well-being and the individual’s health status. Preparing the patient’s transition from hospital to home earlier in their admission allows for the identification and adequate response to patient needs. Language adaptation during health education and a periodic follow-up were effective measures to promote independence in HF self-care and to reduce mortality and rehospitalization rates. Even though these interventions show positive results, they are not frequently used in clinical practice given a lack of specialized education about HF among healthcare professionals and empowerment culture, as well as an incapacity for adequate patient follow-up. Final Considerations: The nurse is responsible for helping the patient to develop skills to manage their symptoms (e.g., recognize relevant symptoms) and the therapeutic regimen; if successfully achieved, this promotes empowerment, thus reducing readmissions and promoting well-being.

Abstract:
Abstract Outsiders may wonder what Brazilian women’s lives are like here and who the women activists influencing human rights, female empowerment, and social change are. As in other countries, during the past few decades Brazilian women have revolted against patriarchy by raising their voices and creating social impact. This qualitative study, using secondary research, identifies Marielle Franco, Zilda Arns, Maria da Penha, Marta Vieira da Silva, and Dilma Rousseff as five empowered Brazilian women. Most came from humble origins - families that were examples of charity and struggled for rights, but all obtained degrees either in higher education or in their specialization. However, their origins did not determine social action. The driving force was their suffering from discrimination, specifically because they were women and, furthermore, because they occupied places that were previously reserved for white men. Almost all were persecuted, while others also suffered discrimination because of their skin color and ethnicity. Even so, being wives and mothers, all were excellent professionals, searching for success and achieving progress in their dedicated areas by creating social changes, especially in human rights for children and women. Those who are still alive continue the battle against the entrenched patriarchy in a predominantly macho society as they continue their strife for more progress. Finally, those committed to building an evolved, modern, inclusive, and respectful Brazilian society perceive the macho practices that prevail as inadequate and detrimental to women. As more and more women carry on in the fight for human rights, society will evolve. Keywords: Brazilian women, human rights, discrimination, women’s rights

Abstract:
" As part of our “What Is Just Tech?” series, we invited several social researchers–scholars, practitioners, artists, and activists—to respond to a simple yet fundamental question: “What is just technology?” This interview was conducted by Just Tech program officer Catalina Vallejo, who spoke with Diana J. Nucera, AKA Mother Cyborg, a multimedia artist, educator, and organizer based in Detroit, Michigan. Nucera (she/her) uses music, performance, DIY publishing, community-organizing tactics, and popular education methods to elevate collective technological consciousness and agency. Her art draws from and includes eleven years of community organizing work in Detroit. In their conversation, Vallejo and Nucera spoke about the history of independent media and the internet, the potential of media-making pedagogies for empowerment and social change, and being optimistic about opportunity in the midst of great challenges."
