This paper aims at studying the translation of feminist themes in Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns by focusing on whether the translator has amplified or changed the ST, focusing on the contexts of two characters, Maryam and Laila. This paper investigates two translation approaches: Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Olga Castro's intersectional feminist and sociocultural transformation. The concept of gender, culture, and ideology in translation will be examined to reflect how the translator's linguistic choices figure out the depiction of gendered dynamics and feminist struggle. The goal of this paper's results is to show how much the translation can either support, question, or analyze the feminist presence in the source text. This will give you an idea of how translation can be used to bring feminist discourse to people from different cultures.

The article proposes the theoretical concept of “affective bridges” to describe “affective connection,” “solidarity practice,” or “political articulation” that elevates intersectionality within feminist and trans activisms in Turkey through its three elements: experience, movement, and discourse/action. It explores the emergence of affective bridges for bodily autonomy, against femicides and gender-based violence, as well as against the specific anti-gender backlash conditions created by anti-gender networked authoritarianism in Turkey. Turkey was chosen for the case study to build, establish, and demonstrate this concept, but the concept is intended to be applicable transnationally, particularly in countries where global political events have local ramifications and where such forms of intersectional solidarity, coalitions, and collaboration are needed.

Child-led tours alongside intersectional feminist theory and child standpoint theory provide promising methodological insights regarding meaningful engagement and research approaches with young children that can inform intersectoral pediatric healthcare practice and policy. However, research has paid little attention to the dynamics between children and adults during research and promising methods and theories that may mitigate asymmetrical relationships of power. The authors describe lessons learned from a child-led tour through the lens of an intersectional feminist, child standpoint theoretical orientation regarding child assent, power, and control. The strength of a child-led tour coupled with a reflexive intersectional, child standpoint theoretical orientation is that it can make explicit adult epistemological biases and the tensions between children’s and adult’s interactions and collaborations. Further, this framing may make medicalized and taken-for-granted scientific assumptions of childhood and children explicit and allow for the reimaging of children’s agency, power, and capacity for knowledge generation in situ. Child-led tours coupled with an adult researcher’s commitment to anti-oppressive practice through methodological accountability and frameworks have the promise of eliciting rich, embodied, sensorial data in pursuit of knowledge mobilization for and with children. Child-led tours as an ethnographic, qualitative interview method are proposed to be child-friendly, enabling meaningful knowledge gathering concerning children’s perspectives, ideas, and experiences. More research on the potential for a child-led tour combined with an intersectional, child standpoint praxis is needed to prevent tokenistic methodological strategies that reproduce asymmetrical power relations and dynamics.

Teaching undergraduate students about LGBTQ identities and family issues presents several challenges, or “opportunities,” which we address within personal, ecological, and historical contexts. We begin by articulating our positionality as scholars and instructors, and the feminist intersectional and queer lens that guides our research and pedagogy. We organize our presentation of contemporary teaching opportunities around three primary and interrelated topics: (a) teaching about LGBTQ issues with attention to intersectionality as a conceptual framework, (b) teaching about sexual orientation diversity and fluidity, and (c) teaching about gender diversity and transgender identities. We incorporate suggestions for educational practice throughout and recommend that instructors continually revise their teaching practices to reflect the changing technological and social landscape, thus maximizing opportunities for student engagement and learning.

In dominant western society, we tend to interpret the experiences of immigrant women as emancipation and liberation, rather than as the complex experiences of subjects acting within several hegemonic systems. While intersectional and transnational feminism led to questioning this view through the discussion of the challenges faced by immigrant women from developing countries, their counterparts from socialist countries have been largely ignored. To address this gap, this article focuses on the employment and social reproduction experiences of 11 white, professional, heterosexual, immigrant Jewish women from the former Soviet Union (FSU) who are now living in Toronto, Canada. The data used in this article was collected as part of a study on lived experiences of Jewish immigrant couples from FSU in Toronto. This study utilized intersectional feminist analysis as a theoretical framework and combined the qualitative methodologies of Testimonio and Oral History. This data suggests that, for these women, immigration had mixed outcomes. Although the material conditions of their lives may have changed, the traditional moral associations between femininity, domesticity, and maternity remained strong. Apparent heterosexual privilege both challenged and reinforced their subordination, in that it facilitated their access to Canadian education and professional jobs and promoted their social legitimacy/status, while also resulting in greater subordination at work and home where they had more tasks to fulfill than in premigration life. These findings challenge the monolithic representation of immigrant women’s experience and enhance our ability to generate a more comprehensive theory of those experiences.

The Strategist's Best Books About Asian American Identity, New York Magazine  The pioneering Asian American labor organizer and writer's vision for intersectional and anti-racist activism.   In this powerful, deeply humanistic book, Grace Lee Boggs, a legendary figure in the struggle for justice in America, shrewdly assesses the current crisis-political, economical, and environmental-and shows how to create the radical social change we need to confront new realities. A vibrant, inspirational force, Boggs has participated in all of the twentieth century's major social movements-for civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights, and more. She draws from seven decades of activist experience, and a rigorous commitment to critical thinking, to redefine \"revolution\" for our times.   From her home in Detroit, she reveals how hope and creativity are overcoming despair and decay within the most devastated urban communities. Her book is a manifesto for creating alternative modes of work, politics, and human interaction that will collectively constitute the next American Revolution-which is unraveling before our eyes.

This article focuses on the health impacts of the gender-based violence (GBV) experienced by migrant and refugee women (MRW) survivors in their migration/settlement journeys in Canada, and their challenges in accessing healthcare. Adopting a feminist and intersectional lens, I draw upon qualitative in-depth interviews with 48 migrant women conducted between 2020 and 2022. GBV is a frequent experience in the migration and (re)settlement journey and has wide-ranging and cross-secting emotional-psychological, socio-economic, physical, as well as sexual and reproductive health consequences which, in turn, impact settlement and integration and may increase vulnerability to further GBV as a result. Drawing upon a “social determinants of health” approach, I aim to understand the workings of barriers to healthcare access and help seeking for MRW survivors of GBV in Canada. The social determinants of health involve structural (e.g., legal, financial, linguistic, knowledge, healthcare access) barriers, mediated by gender, intersecting with various positionalities and identities. GBV unambiguously impacts on the health and well-being of all survivors, but the extent of harm varies significantly depending on the intersections of positions and identities of survivors. The migration context entails unique barriers to MRW help seeking and healthcare access as well as aggravates the impacts of other barriers on MRW. My objective is to show how GBV affects the health status of MRW survivors in Canada in the specific context of healthcare access and help-seeking barriers MRW face, conceptualized as risk factors for reproducing GBV.

Die Klimakrise trifft nicht alle gleich, ganz im Gegenteil. Sie unterscheidet nach race, Gender, geografischem Standort, soziökonomischem Hintergrund, Alter, körperlicher Einschränkung und vielen anderen Kategorien. Am Beispiel von Black, Indigenous und Women of Color (BIWoC) zeigt dieser Beitrag auf, dass einerseits eine besondere Betroffenheit marginalisierter Gruppen in Bezug auf die Klimakrise besteht und andererseits es genau BIWoC sind die nicht nur führende Rollen in der Klimabewegung einnehmen, sondern von deren spezialisiertem Wissen, basierend auf ihrer intersektionalen Unterdrückung, ihrem (Überlebens-)Kampf und ihrer Art Wissen zu produzieren und weiterzugeben, die Klimabewegung auf ungeahnte Weise lernen kann. Anders als häufig angenommen, ist die Klimabewegung im weiten Sinne nicht „zu weiß“, sondern es sind tatsächlich Black, Indigenous und People of Color, die diese Bewegung seit Jahrzehnten prägen. Es wird Zeit, dass sie die Anerkennung und Wertschätzung erhalten, die ihnen gebührt. Auf eine kurze Analyse der Ursprünge intersektionalen Feminismus in Schwarzen Feminismen und den Kämpfen Schwarzer Frauen folgen in diesem Beitrag theorie-basierte und durch Interviews mit BIWoC Klimaaktivistinnen gewonnene intersektional-feministische Guidelines für die Klimabewegung. Sie sind ein Angebot, um der Klimabewegung zu einer Vision zu verhelfen, in ihrem Protest die Verwobenheit und gegenseitige Bedingung globaler Herausforderungen zu berücksichtigen; anzuerkennen, dass diese unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen für marginalisierte Menschen haben und den Schutz von Menschen sowie der Umwelt gleichermaßen in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Um der Klimakrise die Stirn zu bieten, bedarf es einer radikalen Systemveränderung, Klimagerechtigkeit bildet die anzuwendende Strategie und Intersektionaler Feminismus liefert die Perspektive zur Umsetzung.

In this paper, we examine the role of Voluntary organizations (VO's) in combating the incidence of HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases among Female Sex Workers in Hyderabad and Secundrabad. These are twin cities in the newly formed state of Telangana state in the southwestern region of India, called the Deccan Plateau. We trace the evolution of VO's towards becoming agents of information and prevention of AIDS in the region. Our focus is on how VOs' interventions impact the prevention of HIV among female sex workers. The activities that contribute towards this aim are sexual health, counseling, medication and continuous health follow-ups. Using purposive sampling methods, we analyze the data quantitatively and qualitatively with the help of case studies with intersectional feminist theory.

The objective of this article is to identify the contributions of decolonial feminism to feminist disability studies, emphasizing the implications of considering ability as a colonial category, and the search for theoretical and methodological supports associated to the decolonization of times, spaces and ways of relating to disability. To do so, we briefly contextualize decolonial feminism. We then argue that ability is a colonial category and point to modernity as the genealogy of ableism. We conclude by highlighting elements that corroborate the importance that feminist disability studies dialog with decolonial feminism and the latter with the categories of ability and disability. Neste artigo, objetivamos identificar as contribuições do feminismo decolonial para os estudos feministas da deficiência, com destaque para as implicações de se considerar a capacidade como uma categoria colonial, e também para a busca de subsídios teórico-metodológicos alinhados com a decolonização dos tempos, espaços e formas de se relacionar com a deficiência. Para tanto, contextualizamos brevemente o feminismo decolonial. Em seguida, argumentamos que a capacidade é uma categoria colonial. Após, apontamos a modernidade como a genealogia do capacitismo. Finalizamos o texto destacando elementos que corroboram a relevância de os estudos feministas da deficiência dialogarem com o feminismo decolonial e este com as categorias capacidade e deficiência. En este artículo, pretendemos identificar las contribuciones del feminismo decolonial a los estudios feministas de la discapacidad, destacando las implicaciones de considerar la capacidad como una categoría colonial, así como a la búsqueda de subsidios teórico-metodológicos alineados con la descolonización de tiempos, espacios y modos. de relacionarse con la discapacidad. Para ello, contextualizamos brevemente el feminismo decolonial. A continuación, argumentamos que la capacidad es una categoría colonial. Posteriormente, apuntaremos a la modernidad como la genealogía del capacitismo. Concluimos el texto destacando elementos que corroboran la pertinencia de los estudios feministas sobre discapacidad dialogando con el feminismo decolonial y este con las categorías capacidad y discapacidad.
