  • Vprašanje materinstva v teoriji in paksi feminističnega socialnega dela v ženski svetovalnici = Motherhood issue in feminist social work theory and practice in women's counselling project
    Urek, Mojca, 1966-
    The paper presents a non-governmental women's psycho-social project, "Women's counselling service", which has been established in Ljubljana and ran by women-volunteers since 1993. Their work is based ... on the feminist perspective which brings a new dimension into counselling. Focusing on motherhood, the author suggests some possibilities offered by the feminist theoretical framework. She presents the issue of motherhood through relation between womenand nature: in our society it is very well known which "natural" spaces belong to women and what happens if a singular woman finds herself in the space to which she doesn't belong. The author proves that women can experiencean extremely emphasised and glorified notion of motherhood as a pressure, which can have an important impact on their decisions, regardless whether they wish to have children or not. The author also shows how the reduction of the category of "the woman" to the category of "the mother" can effect women's mental health. She suggests a few ways by which the feministic oriented social practices can answer a singular woman's needs toward her stronger empowerment, bigger autonomy, widening of the choices and opening up possibilities for new identity positions.
