Social conflicts tend to take different forms. This article compares three demonstrations on issues of social justice in Italy: a traditional Labor Day demonstration, a march supporting a general strike called by the largest trade union CGIL (Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro, Italian General Confederation of Labour), and the EuroMayDay parade, representing a "new" type of movement. Focusing on conceptions of democracy among activists, the article stresses that the economic crisis is a crisis of representative democracy as well. Protestors on social justice and labor rights expressed extremely low levels of trust in government, parliament, and political parties; the lowest levels were found among younger participants. At the same time, this lack of trust is coupled with confidence in the capacity of the citizens-especially if organized at the international level -- to take the world into their hands. Despite high levels of distrust, demonstrators believe that one must strengthen all levels of government to be able to address social inequality -- politics must regain control over the market.

In addition to information on crime and incarceration rates, White-collar crime and the typical criminal, the discussion of minorities and public perceptions is set within a broader context including the issues of terrorism and human trafficking, where race and ethnicity are also vital to public perceptions. The manual is designed for junior colleges and four year colleges, including those offering distance-learning courses. It is a thought-provoking combination of facts and questions. The pedagogical focus is on collaborative, problem-based learning, with foundational support for the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Each chapter includes vignettes featuring the opinions of experts in the field relative to the chapter being covered. They are classic pedagogical tools that link theory with practice a good balance between theory and the real world. The simple, straightforward approach allows instructors to personalize their coverage of the material, and the text uses extremely effective pedagogical approaches. The Case Study/Critical Thinking issues-and-questions approach at the beginning of each chapter is another important feature that focuses on developing students soft skills. The objectives are clearly listed at the beginning of each chapter. Chapter resources and key terms are listed at the end of each chapter. The Controversy sections included in each chapter target analytical and critical skill development in students, not to mention application of a current issue, as does the In the news section which, while making reference and applying theory to current issues, forces students to apply theory and critically analyze issues. The author attempts, as much as possible, to rely on facts and figures here (deductive logic) rather than on sentiment. Since the ultimate goal is to encourage students to critique, analyze and formulate their own opinions, as much effort as was feasible possible was put into presenting both sides of each argument.

AbstractThere is a unanimous agreement among scholars that social equity scholarship is essential to the study of public administration. One area of weakness in the social equity literature is its inability to develop a theoretical understanding of the complexities of race, gender, and ethnicity. This viewpoint addresses the call of Pandey, Bearfield, and Hall (2022), arguing "concept of race in public administration remains woefully undertheorized" by exploring key tenets of Postcolonial theory. Postcolonial theory can bolster social equity literature by providing a much‐needed theoretical framework to systematically understand the marginalization and subordination of people of color for centuries through representation, production of knowledge, and power. The postcolonial theory also challenges the portrayal of all non‐White minorities as one collective hegemonic identity and, therefore, can provide a sound theoretical grounding to social equity scholarship.Evidence for Practice
There is a growing call among scholars and practitioners to conceptualize race in public administration using more complex historical foundations capturing nuances of gender, ethnicity, and skin‐tone rather than simplifying race as binary (White vs. non‐White).
Postcolonial theory provides a strong theoretical foundation to understand race and intersectional identity and provides a firm capacity to understand race relationships using the historical lens.
Postcolonial theory also provides insights into the exploitation and subjugation of colonial subjects (citizens once colonized by European empires) and how their identity is forever molded by the slave trade and exploitation of natural resources of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Finally, the postcolonial theory provides a strong parallel between the colonial representation of the colonized subjects as the "Other" and the portrayal of poor people from the global South as stereotypical and helpless and refugees and immigrants as dangerous or "bad hombres."

INTRODUCTION: HIV‐related risks may be exacerbated in humanitarian contexts. Uganda hosts 1.3 million refugees, of which 60% are aged under 18. There are knowledge gaps regarding HIV testing facilitators and barriers, including HIV and intersecting stigmas, among urban refugee youth. In response, we explored experiences and perspectives towards HIV testing strategies, including HIV self‐testing, with urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda. METHODS: We implemented a qualitative study with refugee cisgender youth aged 16 to 24 living in Kampala's informal settlements from February‐April 2019. We conducted five focus groups with refugee youth, including two with adolescent boys and young men, two with adolescent girls and young women and one with female sex workers. We also conducted five key informant (KI) interviews with government, non‐government and community refugee agencies and HIV service providers. We conducted thematic analyses to understand HIV testing experiences, perspectives and recommendations. RESULTS: Participants (n = 49) included young men (n = 17) and young women (n = 27) originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] (n = 29), Rwanda (n = 11), Burundi (n = 3) and Sudan (n = 1), in addition to five KI (gender: n = 3 women, n = 2 men; country of origin: n = 2 Rwanda, n = 2 Uganda, n = 1 DRC). Participant narratives revealed stigma drivers included fear of HIV infection; misinformation that HIV is a "Ugandan disease"; and blame and shame for sexual activity. Stigma facilitators included legal precarity regarding sex work, same‐sex practices and immigration status, alongside healthcare mistreatment and confidentiality concerns. Stigma experiences were attributed to the social devaluation of intersecting identities (sex work, youth, refugees, sexual minorities, people living with HIV, women). Participants expressed high interest in HIV self‐testing. They recommended HIV self‐testing implementation strategies to be peer supported and expressed concerns regarding sexual‐ and gender‐based ...

"Gay, bi, trans, and queer" chat and dating apps, since explicitly addressed to sexual categories, are inevitably permeated by "sex", even though this word rarely appears in the presentations of these applications. This omission is quite significant, since it establishes a strict code of interpretation and use for many of these apps, which usually promote a one-to-one heteronormative mode of interaction, in which sexuality, rather than a social bond, is intensively privatized and exclusive. The architecture of these apps deceptively seems to promote both the identity of the single user and the formation of communities through the possibility (and the necessity) of filling a series of categories. Actually, these categories and provided data, related to a mechanism of filters, combine to orient and standardize users' choices and, consequently, the sexual and social value of the users themselves. These apps, through the (self)exploitation of their users, establish a gentrification process of their virtual spaces to increase their rental value as platforms. In this circular mechanism, a recursive hierarchy between a platform and its users is traceable, as well as amongst the users themselves: racist, anti-feminine, transphobic and sierophobic behaviors are dissimulated and legitimated as mere personal tastes. Therefore, while performances of white masculinity are awarded at the prize of frustrating normalization, "trans" and broadly "queer" subjectivities, widely sponsored by the queerwashed pages of these apps, are in fact excluded. Through a semiotic analysis of Grindr and PlanetRomeo, two of the bigger gay apps, the aim of this work is to highlight the semiotic processes of translation of sexual minorities' collective instances into commodified profiles. A mechanism that reflects a broader heteronormative and neoliberal process of re-appropriation and assimilation of the difference.

All human beings have the right to live as human beings. Human rights are not conferred or given. They already exist in society. In spite of these international and national declaration and resolutions, human rights are violated in different countries all over the world. Human right of dalits and women in Bihar in general are normally violated by high castes and powerful communities to practice and exhibit patriarchy and Castism. But human rights of than dalits in general. There is a growing need to capture transgression of human rights of dalits , so that talent and potential of Dalits can be used for development of nation. The concept of human rights aims at protection of rights like right to life, liberty and property. These rights are attributed to human beings irrespective of class, caste, gender, colour and religion. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was unanimously adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10th 1948. The preamble of Indian constitution adequately empowers the central and state government to eliminate human rights violation in the country. Also In Bihar Dalits are facing the problems of identity crisis, deprivation, discrimination and atrocities. These marginalised groups are also identified and recognised as dalits, SC (scheduled castes), ST (scheduled Tribes), OBC (other backward castes), religious and linguistic minorities. Dalits are in worst position than dalits in general, In terms of sex ratio, wages, employment, occupation, assets, education, health, social mobility and political participation. Hence, it is important to discuss the status of dalits and various problems they face even after 67 years of independence. This article makes an attempt to discuss basic facts, issues and concerns related to dalit to suggest some alternatives to combat violation of their rights for social justice and equality. Explanation of relevant terms such as 'Dalit ; 'Dalitism; is given below to broaden understanding about the issue. Further, the vulnerable situation of dalits Human right situation in Bihar is also discussed in detail:-

At the time of writing, all three elements that are evoked in the title – emancipation and social inclusion of sexual minorities, labour and labour activism, and the idea and substance of "Europe" – are being invested by deep, long-term, and – to varied degrees – radical processes of social transformation. The meaning of words like "equality", "rights", "inclusion", and even "democracy" is as precarious and uncertain as are the lives of those European citizens who are marginalised by intersecting conditions of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and class – in a constellation of precarities that is both unifying and fragmented (fragmenting). Conflicts are played, in hidden or explicit ways, over material processes of redistribution as well as discursive practices that revolve around these words. Against this backdrop, and roughly ten years after the European Union provided an input for institutional commitment to the protection of LGBT* workers' rights with the Council Directive 2000/78/EC, the dissertation contrasts discourses on workplace equality for LGBT* persons produced by a plurality of actors, seeking to identify values, semantics, and agendas framing and informing organisations' views and showing how each actor has incorporated LGBT* rights into its own discourse, each time in a way that is functional to the construction and/or confirmation of its organisational identity: transnational union networks, by presenting LGBT* rights as a natural, neutral commitment within the framework of universal human rights protection; left-wing organisations, by collocating activism for LGBT* rights within a wider project of social emancipation that is for all the marginalised, yet is not neutral, but attached to specific values and opposed to specific political adversaries (the right-wing, the nationalists); business networks, by acknowledging diversity as a path to better performance and profits, thus encouraging inclusion and non-discrimination of "deserving" LGBT* workers.

Since the 1960s, the United States government has paid increasing attention to the rights of language minorities and to the need for greater civic and political integration of these groups. With the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the issuance of Executive Orders, and intervention by the federal judiciary, progress has been made in the realm of language access. State and local courts have likewise taken steps (albeit imperfectly) to provide interpretation and translation assistance to Limited English Proficient persons. Most recently, responding to both lack of services and inconsistent practices, the American Bar Association has set out national guidelines on the subject. As language access rises in importance – within the government as a whole, and the legal system in particular – law schools have begun to develop strategies to promote language access within the academy. These strategies serve multiple purposes: to prepare students to identify, and respond to, issues of language difference in the context of legal work; to ensure that the policies and practices of law schools comply with language access norms; and to foment student awareness and advocacy on language access, as a key social justice issue. Indeed, educating future lawyers involves not just teaching law students how to read a case, interview a client or draft a brief, it also includes introducing them to the numerous ways lawyers seek to participate in and improve the justice system. Promoting language access in the legal academy offers numerous opportunities to expose students to a diverse set of organizations and skills, and to a community of advocates who have engaged on these issues. This article describes some innovations and best practices relating to language access in the legal academy. It opens with a description of the salience of language access in the current political moment, noting recent demographic trends, and the political importance of language access. It discusses the contemporary salience of language access and the ...

"Drawing on recent cross-nationally comparative survey data of the Turkish and
Moroccan second generation in five European cities, this study examines the
patterns of identification with ethnic, religious, national and city identities. We
take a comparative perspective and analyse data from five cities (Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Antwerp, Brussels and Stockholm) that differ markedly in their policy
approach to the integration of immigrants, the socio-economic position of the
second generation and the political climate confronting ethnic and religious
minorities. The analysis focuses on the question of how the Turkish and
Moroccan second generation combines their ethnic and religious minority
identities with identification with the country and city of residence. As European
national identities are to a greater extent than is the case for US American
national identity implicitly tied to and appropriated by the national majority
group, we hypothesise that national identities will be non-inclusive of ethnic and
religious identification, thus resulting in a negative correlation between
Dutch/ Belgian/ Swedish identity on the one hand and Turkish/ Moroccan and
Muslim identities on the other. In contrast, we expect a positive correlation with
identification with the city of residence, as Europe's cities are more diverse in
terms of their population composition, have a more cosmopolitan outlook and are
to a lesser extent dominated by one group of the population than the nationstates
in which they are located. Secondly, we hypothesise that distinct
identification patterns will be related to the modes of incorporation of the second
generation, such that identity compatibility (i.e., positive associations between
ethnic and religious identities on the one hand and national and city identities on
the other) instead of identity conflict (i.e., negative associations) will be more
often found in more favourable contexts of reception." (author's abstract)
