Tournage de film porno, «Ginette se meurt d’ennui». Prostituée armée dans les toilettes d’une chambre de motel. Miroirs léchés. Vaginoplastie juste au bon moment «pour se cacher ailleurs qu’au cimetière ou en prison». Viol d’un adolescent. Party BDSM. Manucure. Drogue mortelle. «Personne ne peut abuser d’elle, c’est déjà fait.» Abîmées et vengeresses, les «fées mal tournées» rendent les coups. Dans la rue, au bar, à l’hôpital, à la shop de tatouage, elles rassemblent leurs voix discordantes pour devenir inévitables, pour déranger l’ordre qui les gruge. «Nous docteurs, sorcières et assassines, nous voulons répandre la conscience / comme une malaria fiévreuse et addictive.» Au cœur de Danseuses-mamelouk, Josée Yvon réunit sa milice : trois textes, masses composites de vers et de bouts de récits, cris de guerre, dédales de sens, affection féroce, «une grosse étreinte dans page». «Car l’abus est notre seul espoir de prospérité et de jouissance.»

The COVID-19 pandemic, originated in China, has affected millions of people worldwide, leading to various situations such as psychological disorders and diseases that affect people’s physical and mental health, and disrupt their quality of life. Objective. To analyze stress levels during social distancing due to COVID-19 by gender and to determine the moderating effect of adaptability to the situation. Method. The study is cross-sectional and quantitative, with a descriptive-correlational scope. The sample consisted of 1,173 Mexican subjects (522 males [44.5%] and 651 females [22.5%]) with an average age of 25.99 years (DT = 11.19; range = 12 - 77 years). Adaptability and perceived stress were measured, obtaining reliability from appropriate instruments. Results. The results indicated that the greater the number of weeks of social distancing, the higher the perceived level of stress. Also, the better people adapt to social distancing, the less stress occurs. Women were observed to have higher levels of stress compared to men. Discussion and conclusion. The findings highlight the importance of adaptability to the stressful situation of the pandemic, because the effect of severe stress on women largely disappears when there is a high level of adaptability to the event.

Shows how reproductive justice organizations' collaborative work across racial lines provides a compelling model for other groups to successfully influence change Patricia Zavella experienced firsthand the trials and judgments imposed on a working professional mother of color: her own commitment to academia was questioned during her pregnancy, as she was shamed for having children "too young." And when she finally achieved her professorship, she felt out of place as one of the few female faculty members with children. These experiences sparked Zavella's interest in the movement for reproductive justice. In this book, she draws on five years of ethnographic research to explore collaborations among women of color engaged in reproductive justice activism. While there are numerous organizations focused on reproductive justice, most are racially specific, such as the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum and Black Women for Wellness. Yet Zavella reveals that many of these organizations have built coalitions among themselves, sharing resources and supporting each other through different campaigns and struggles. While the coalitions are often regional-or even national-the organizations themselves remain racially or ethnically specific, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for the women involved. Zavella argues that these organizations provide a compelling model for negotiating across differences within constituencies. In the context of the war on women's reproductive rights and its disproportionate effect on women of color, and increased legal violence toward immigrants, The Movement for Reproductive Justice demonstrates that a truly intersectional movement built on grassroots organizing, culture shift work, and policy advocating can offer visions of strength, resiliency, and dignity for all.
