“…Further connecting my research topic to the literature, I looked at programs that centered specific ethnic communities as a platform to look at how it could benefit communities to have services that acknowledge their histories of oppression of specific groups (Fotheringham & Tomlinson, 2009;Matsuoka, 2015;McDowell, 2004). I will first discuss Latinx identity (Ali & Toner, 2005;Carranza, 2007;Poran, 2002).…”

“…I will then look at sexual violence and survivors though a critical lens (Baird & Jenkins, 2003;Barrick et al, 2012;Davidson et al, 2014;Garcia-Linares et al, 2005;Hossain et al (2014). Finally, I will examine articles that suggest cultural competency in service delivery (Fotheringham & Tomlinson, 2009;Matsuoka, 2015;McDowell, 2004).…”

“…The final theme in relation to the findings in the literature was looking into program delivery and cultural competency. When searching for articles and research on cultural-specific services, the theme of cultural competency kept coming up (Fotheringham & Tomlinson, 2009;Matsuoka, 2015;McDowell, 2004). Throughout the articles, there was no critique of "multiculturalism", and how that is a concept that masks the issues of racism in Canada, to portray unity.…”

This narrative qualitative research study explores the experiences of Latinx women working with sexual violence in the Latinx community. It explores the stories and showcases the testimonios of two women who have worked in the field of sexual violence within the Latinx community in Toronto, Ontario for many years. Both participants shared similar stories, as well as different experiences with their own individual lenses. The theoretical framework draws from a critical race feminism theory as well as Latinx feminism, creating a mestizaje of theory. A narrative approach was used to collect data, along with an arts-based portion to honour traditional methods of knowledge sharing and expression. Data analysis included a thematic analysis to further look into the themes that emerged from the findings. Implications for future social work research and practice under an anti-oppressive lens are discussed in the conclusion.

“…We may highlight the current studies being conducted among indigenous populations in North America (38), and some research among indigenous Brazilian (39) and Chilean (40) populations. However, the empirical evidence that predominates about ethnic minorities tends to deal with migratory processes; that is, how migrant minorities age in developed countries (35,37,41).…”

Objective: The aim of this research was to analyse the association between successful aging (SA) and subjective well-being (SWB) in different domains. Method: The study is quantitative and cross-sectional, with a sample consisting of 800 older people, including 569 indigenous (Aymara and Mapuche) participants living in northern and southern Chile. Results: Domains associated with SA are satisfaction with health, satisfaction with social relationships, satisfaction with future security, and satisfaction with spiritual and religious experiences. SA is also positively associated with being a woman, being young, and not being indigenous. Conclusion: The research has two main practical implications. First, SWB domains may be incorporated into socio-health interventions as they relate to elements that can be changed or improved (health, social inclusion, security, and beliefs). Second, this study suggests a situation of risk among older indigenous Chileans, confirming the premise that the life paths of indigenous Chileans at social risk give rise to a more socially unequal old age with; therefore, it is important to analyse positive aspects that promote better old age.

“…In this way strengths-based perspectives can still be used in contexts of structural inequality, such as extreme poverty, where 'overcoming adversity' seems 'out of reach' of individuals, and requires collective coordinated action for sustainable change (Hutchinson, 2014). Strengthsbased research which includes a critical perspective will motivate strengths-based policy and practice to go beyond individualised responses and to challenge ingrained power structures that impact on the strengths of individuals, families and communities (Matsuoka, 2015).…”

Unintended pregnancy amongst young women in Mozambique is associated with many 'problems' and 'poor outcomes'; yet little is known about how young women, their family and communities actually respond to these problems. Qualitative research on the coping strategies used by young mothers under 20 years of age in response to conflictual relationships, poor material provision, poor health and poor educational access in Mozambique is presented. Data was constructed through 21 semi-structured narrative interviews with young mothers (16-19 years old) from two regions (urban/south and rural/north) on their experience of coping with unintended pregnancy. Thematic data analysis to identify coping strategies was completed using Nvivo 7. The majority of strategies identified were 'relational' in nature highlighting the importance of developing interventions which strengthen naturally occurring strategies used by women, their families and communities. The findings are used to illustrate the role of strength-based research in developing policy and practice, particularly in relation to community development and groups considered unable to 'cope' or 'get on'. It is also important to ensure strengths-based approaches are used to tackle structural inequalities and strengthen organisational resources, despite this being a strong critique levied at strength-based interventions.
