Literature review on LILACS and MEDLINE databases was conducted in April 2013 with the descriptors: “domestic violence” and “women’s health”, on a 1994-2012 timeframe. Statistics characterization and content theme analysis of the scientific production were developed. Results showed that the assessment is permeated by institutional limitation and an approach strictly clinical that makes identification and diagnosis of violence difficult, reinforcing invisibility in health care. Professional assessment is influenced by socio-cultural and the naturalization of the phenomena, which is not considered a public health issue. Technical knowledge is insufficient, making the possibility of promoting violence cycle rupture difficult. However, we envisage reception as a possibility to assess female demands. We conclude the need to include the theme in health undergraduate courses and also the urgency of this learning experience to support a multidisciplinary and intersectoral work web. Thus, rethinking assessment as a way of (re)organizing how health care is structured in order to compose an assessment web to women and guarantee reception of their demands is needed. Else, constructing competence allied to coping public policy to the problem and guaranteeing a human and full assistance will stay only on the academic field, constituting itself as a limit on protecting life of these women and their families.展开更多

The GMD government promoted the New Life Movement to rectify the morals and conduct of civil servants and the general public for the purpose of building a modern nation-state at minimum cost. Although the New Life Movement is best known for employing urban middle-class centric approaches to reform, its Women＇s AdvisoW Council （WAC） carried the moderr）izing project to China＇s rural interior, where tbe GMD was previously bereft of access to local society. Although the WAC prioritized the mobilization of rural women for the war effort, its endeavors transcended the confinement of ＂women＇s work＂ and were instrumental in bridging the central government and local authorities, bringing the state into rural households.展开更多

The model,funded by the U.S. March of Dimes Foundation and entitled the 'March of Dimes Global Network for Maternal and Infant Health(GNMIH)' ,allows developing country experts to more easily share their knowledge,experience,skills and materials in ways that can improve women's,maternal,newborn and child health in lower-income countries. This report begins with a brief description of the March of Dimes and its Global Programs which oversees the GNMIH. It then discusses the structure of the GNMIH,with an emphasis on the benefits and challenges of working within the network,and concludes with a brief description of the acti-vities of network members.展开更多
