It unequivocally asserts that social justice is an inseparable component of human rights of Women in India and without it human rights would be empty and meaningless. Equality in basic liberties, equality of opportunity for advancement and Positive Discrimination in favour of women ensure social justice and human rights. Human rights of a Woman means her liberation from the traditional oppressive Bonds and discrimination, improvement in the concept of self and she in relation to the Environment and the people around her. It means a matter of provision of social justice in relation to resources, organization, socio-economic and Political opportunities of a woman. In her milieu, human rights expect a change in the Perception and the value characteristics of Indian culture. The rural, tribal and slum women, during the Freedom Movement, joined Hands with Mahatma Gandhi to fight against colonialism and feudalism. But the independent India not only ignored them completely, but also exploited them by refusing to Honour their dignity and rights. A Democracy that fails to take the Poor and oppressed women as an important constituent of the nation building endeavour is Gender insensitive. So, human rights of women require continuing understanding of women`s needs in different situations and dimension. In this context, development of women expects the articulation of social justice and promotion of human rights. The present volume is highly provocative and illuminating. It contains come of the clearest analyses on social justice to women and their human rights. It is a significant work and makes serious contributions to Law, Human Rights, Social Welfare, Social Work, Sociology, Participatory Research and Public Administration. Academics, researchers, Legal pundits, activist, social thinkers and social workers find this volume constructive and inspiring.

A heroine of the Civil Rights Movement tells the remarkable story of her life, her work, and what it means to be both black and a woman. Dorothy Height marched at civil rights rallies, sat through tense White House meetings, and witnessed every major victory in the struggle for racial equality. Yet as the sole woman among powerful, charismatic men, someone whose personal ambition was secondary to her passion for her cause, she has received little mainstream recognition--until now. In her memoir, Dr. Height, at ninety-one, reflects on a life of service and leadership. We witness her childhood encounters with racism and the thrill of New York college life during the Harlem Renaissance. We see her protest against lynchings. We sit with her onstage as Martin Luther King Jr. delivers his "I Have a Dream" speech. We meet people she knew intimately: W. E. B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary McLeod Bethune, Langston Hughes, and many others. And we watch as she leads the National Council of Negro Women for forty-one years, her diplomatic counsel sought by U. S. Presidents from Eisenhower to Clinton. After the battles of the 1960s, Dr. Height concentrates on troubled black communities, on issues like poverty, teen pregnancy and black family values. In 1994, her efforts are officially recognized. With Rosa Parks, she receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. From Wikipedia: "Dorothy Irene Height (March 24, 1912 April 20, 2010) was an American administrator, educator, and social activist. She was the president of the National Council of Negro Women for forty years, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004....Height started working as a caseworker with the New York City Welfare Department and, at the age of twenty-five, she began a career as a civil rights activist when she joined the National Council of Negro Women. She fought for equal rights for both African Americans and women, and in 1944 she joined the national staff of the YWCA. In 1957, Height was named president of the National Council of Negro Women, a position she held until 1997. During the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Height organized "Wednesdays in Mississippi", which brought together black and white women from the North and South to create a dialogue of understanding. American leaders regularly took her counsel and Height also encouraged President Dwight D. Eisenhower to desegregate schools and President Lyndon B. Johnson to appoint African American women to positions in government. Height served on a number of committees, including as a consultant on African affairs to the Secretary of State, the President's Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped, and the President's Committee on the Status of Women. In 1974, Height was named to the National Council for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, which published The Belmont Report, a response to the infamous "Tuskegee Syphilis Study" and an international ethical touchstone for researchers to this day., PublicAffairs, 2003, 3, New York: The Free Press, 1996.

Thirty years have passed since the signing of the armistice that ended the Korean War on July 27, 1953. Yet, in the opinion of the DAV, veterans of the Korean War have not received the due measure of honor they've earned through valor and great sacrifice. The issues of the war, its veterans, and movement toward recognition of those veterans are discussed in this issue of the DAV Magazine.

The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is an organization created by the United States Congress for disabled military veterans of the United States Armed Forces that helps them and their families. In the aftermath of World War I, disabled veterans in the United States found themselves seriously disadvantaged, with little governmental support. Many of these veterans were blind, deaf, or mentally ill when they returned from the frontlines. An astonishing 204,000 Americans in uniform were wounded during the war. The idea to form the Disabled American Veterans arose at a Christmas party in 1919 hosted by Cincinnati Superior Court Judge Robert Marx, a U.S. Army Captain and War World I veteran who had been injured in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in November 1918. Although it had been functional for some months by that time, the Disabled American Veterans of the World War (DAVWW) was officially created on September 25, 1920, at its first National Caucus, in Hamilton County Memorial Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio.[2] While touring across the U.S. as part of the election campaign of James M. Cox, Judge Marx publicized the new organization, which quickly expanded. It held its first national convention in Detroit, Michigan on June 27, 1921, at which time Marx was appointed the first national commander. In 1922, a women's auxiliary organization was founded. The DAVWW continued working through the Great Depression to secure the welfare of disabled veterans, although their efforts were troubled by fundraising challenges and the desire of the public to put the World War behind them. In the midst of these troubled years, DAVWW was issued a federal charter by Congress, on June 17, 1932. The demands of World War II required the urgent expansion of the organization, which officially changed its name to Disabled American Veterans to recognize the impact of the new war. In 1941, DAV launched a direct mail campaign, distributing "IdentoTags", miniature license plates which could be attached to a keyring with instructions that lost keys should be mailed to the DAVWW, who would return them to the owners. In 1944, the DAV began offering a National Service Officer Training Program at American University in Washington, the first step of education that completed with a two-year mentorship program. In 1945, the DAV expanded the Idento Tag program and brought the manufacturing in-house, eventually purchasing complete ownership of the program in 1950. The program proved long-lasting and highly successful, both in bringing in donations and employing veterans in manufacture. By 1952, 350 people were employed in the endeavor, which brought in over $2 million a year in donations. Meanwhile, the number of disabled veterans had been increased by the Korean War. The DAV rallied around the veterans of the Vietnam War and also focused heavily on working for prisoners of war and missing in action. Vietnam veterans soon filled the diminished ranks of the National Service Officers., Disabled American Veterans, 2.5, Encounter Books, 2016. New. Progressive Racism is about the transformation of the civil rights movement from a cause opposing racismthe denigration of individuals on the basis of their skin color - into a movement endorsing race preferences and privileges for select groups based on their skin color It describes the tragic changes of this cause under the leadership of racial extortionists like Al Sharpton, who took a movement in support of American pluralism and turned it into a movement governed by a lynch mob mentality in which white Americans are regarded as guilty before the fact and African Americans are regarded as innocent even when the facts prove them guilty, even when their crimes are committed against other African AmericansThe author of Progressive Racism, David Horowitz, is a witness to these events and betrayals Horowitz was a participant in the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and in 2001 led a national campaign against a proposal for "slavery reparations" that would have required Hispanic, Asian and other Americans who had no role in slavery to pay reparations to African Americans who were never slavesProgressive Racism examines how the term "racism" has been drained of its original meaning and is now used as a weapon to bludgeon opponents into silence It describes how the so-called civil rights movement has become an oppressor of African Americans by supporting a failed school system that blights the lives of millions of African American children and a welfare system that has destroyed the black family and created a "underclass" dependent on government charity It is an indictment of the hypocrisy that today governs discourse on race issues, so that a lynch mob in Ferguson, Missouri seeking to hang a police officer because he was white can be described as a civil rights protest and be supported by the first African American president of the United States, Encounter Books, 2016, 6, Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1943.

Summary; Although the number of people under twenty years of age in the United States rose from 17 million in 1860 to 47.6 million in 1930, the percentage of them in the total population declined sharply during the same seventy years from 51 percent to 38 percent. This declining proportion of children and young people to adults did not lessen concern for their welfare. On the contrary, as they became relatively less numerous, the young became in a way more visible, and their needs were more easily recognized.This second of three volumes that trace the history of the nation's changing provisions for its youth covers the period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the New Deal. These were years rich in innovations which, although not fully realized, represented substantial advances in the welfare, education, and health of children. Much of the philanthropic energy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries went into the provision of special facilities for children, who had formerly been treated in the same way as adults. State, and in some eases, federal legislation attempted to safeguard children against premature, excessive, and dangerous labor; sought to protect them against abuse. neglect, immorality, disease, and unsanitary surroundings: and compelled them to spend more time in school. The first White House Conference on the Care of Dependent and Neglected Children was convened by Theodore Roosevelt in 1909, and in 1912 the United States Children's Bureau was established. This single most important development in public provision for children during the early twentieth century signified the acceptance by the federal government of responsibility for promoting the health and welfare of the young.In this two--book volume, major topics like the legal status of children, child health, and education have been broken down into specific areas so that the items of specialized concern are easily accessible. Some of the nearly 100 topics covered include birth control and abortion, the mothers' aid movement, theories and studies of juvenile delinquency, the progressive attack on child labor, and the child labor amendment. The Children's Bureau, the development of pediatric thought, the fight against infant mortality, child health and the Depression, the origin and development of the public high school, and the education of children of minority groups are also treated.The text includes both published and unpublished, private and public documents. It is augmented with selected contemporary illustrations. Subjects; Child welfare — United States — History. Welfare services for children — United States, (1600-) — Readings. History.

The Battle for Welfare Rights tells, for the first time, the complete story of a movement that profoundly affected the meaning of citizenship and the social contract in the United States., 6, Are "animal welfare" supporters indistinguishable from the animal exploiters they oppose? Do reformist measures reaffirm the underlying principles that make animal exploitation possible in the first place? In this provocative book, Gary L. Francione argues that the modern animal rights movement has become indistinguishable from a century-old concern with the welfare of animals that in no way prevents them from being exploited.Francione maintains that advocating humane treatment of animals retains a sense of them as instrumental to human ends. When they are considered dispensable property, he says, they are left fundamentally without "rights." Until the seventies, Francione claims, this was the paradigm within which the Animal Rights Movement operated, as demonstrated by laws such as the Federal Humane Slaughter Act of 1958.In this wide-ranging book, Francione takes the reader through the philosophical and intellectual debates surrounding animal welfare to make clear the difference between animal rights and animal welfare. Through case studies such as campaigns against animal shelters, animal laboratories, and the wearing of fur, Francione demonstrates the selectiveness and confusion inherent in reformist programs that target fur, for example, but leave wool and leather alone.The solution to this dilemma, Francione argues, is not in a liberal position that espouses the humane treatment of animals, but in a more radical acceptance of the fundamental inalienability of animal rights, Temple University Press, 1996-09, 6, Paperback / softback.

"The plight of animals in China has attracted intense interest in recent times. Speculation about the origins of COVID-19 has sparked curiosity about how animals are treated, traded and consumed in China today. In Animal Welfare in China, Peter Li explores the key animal welfare challenges facing China now, including animal agriculture, bear farming, and the trade and consumption of exotic wildlife, dog meat, and other controversial products. He considers how Chinese policymakers have approached these issues and speaks with activists from China's growing animal rights movement. Li also offers an overview of the history of animal welfare in China, from ancient times through the enormous changes of the 20th and 21st centuries. Some practices that are today described as 'traditional', he argues, are in fact quite recent developments, reflecting the contemporary pursuit of economic growth rather than long-standing cultural traditions. Based on years of fieldwork and analysis, Animal Welfare in China makes a compelling case for a more nuanced and evidence-based approach to these complex issues."

While traditional welfare efforts have waned, a new style of social policy implementation has emerged dramatically in recent decades. The new style is reflected in a panoply of Community Economic Development (ced) initiatives-efforts led by locally-based organizations to develop housing, jobs, and business opportunities in low-income neighborhoods. In this book William H. Simon provides the first comprehensive examination of the evolution of Community Economic Development, complete with an analysis of its operating premises and strategies. He describes the profusion of new institutional forms that have arisen from the movement, amalgamations that cut across conventional distinctions-such as those between private and public-and that encompass the efforts of nonprofits, cooperatives, churches, business corporations, and public agencies. Combining local political mobilization with entrepreneurial initiative and electoral accountability with market competition, this phenomenon has catalyzed new forms of property rights designed to motivate investment and civic participation while curbing the dangers of speculation and middle-class flight. With its examination of many localities and its appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of the prevailing approach to Community Economic Development, this book will be a valuable resource for local housing, job, and business development officials; community activists; and students of law, business, and social policy., 2001, 0, Chicago, IL: Henry Regnery Company, 1964.

From WIkipedia: "Barry Morris Goldwater (January 2, 1909 May 29, 1998) was a businessman and five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953 65, 1969 87) and the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 1964 election. An articulate and charismatic figure during the first half of the 1960s, he was known as "Mr. Conservative". Goldwater is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. He also had a substantial impact on the libertarian movement. Goldwater rejected the legacy of the New Deal and fought through the conservative coalition against the New Deal coalition. He mobilized a large conservative constituency to win the hard-fought Republican primaries. Goldwater's right-wing campaign platform ultimately failed to gain the support of the electorate[3] and he lost the 1964 presidential election to incumbent Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson by one of the largest landslides in history, bringing down many Republican candidates as well. The Johnson campaign and other critics painted him as a reactionary, while supporters praised his crusades against the Soviet Union, labor unions, and the welfare state. His defeat allowed Johnson and the Democrats in Congress to pass the Great Society programs, but the defeat of so many older Republicans in 1964 also cleared the way for a younger generation of American conservatives to mobilize. Goldwater was much less active as a national leader of conservatives after 1964; his supporters mostly rallied behind Ronald Reagan, who became governor of California in 1967 and the 40th President of the United States in 1981. Goldwater returned to the Senate in 1969, and specialized in defense policy, bringing to the table his experience as a senior officer in the Air Force Reserve. In 1974, as an elder statesman of the party, Goldwater successfully urged President Richard Nixon to resign when evidence of a cover-up in the Watergate scandal became overwhelming and impeachment was imminent. By the 1980s, the increasing influence of the Christian right on the Republican Party so conflicted with Goldwater's views that he became a vocal opponent of the religious right on issues such as abortion, gay rights, and the role of religion in public life. A significant accomplishment in his career was the passage of the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, which restructured the higher levels of the Pentagon by increasing the power of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to direct military action." From an obituary posted on-line: "Edwin McDowell, a reporter for The New York Times for 26 years who also wrote three novels and a biography, died on Tuesday at his home in Bronxville, N.Y. He was 72. The cause was complications of Alzheimer s disease, said his son, Edwin. Edwin Stewart McDowell was born on May 13, 1935, in Somers Point, N.J.; joined the Marine Corps at 17 and emerged a master sergeant; and graduated from Temple University. While working for The Arizona Republic, he wrote Barry Goldwater: Portrait of an Arizonan, in 1964. He then worked for The Wall Street Journal. At The Times, from which he retired in 2004, his beats included book publishing, business travel and real estate. Mr. McDowell s novels were Three Cheers and a Tiger (1966), To Keep Our Honor Clean (1980) and The Lost World (1988).", Henry Regnery Company, 1964, 2.5, New York University Press, 2010.

Peter Brimelow (born 13 October 1947) is a British-born American magazine editor, writer, columnist, and former journalist. From 1978-80, he was an aide to Senator Orrin Hatch. In 1980, Brimelow moved to New York, working for Barron's Magazine and Fortune. He was the senior editor of Forbes magazine from 1986 to 2002. He is the founder of the webzine VDARE, which has been described as a white supremacist web-site, a description rejected by Brimelow. Brimelow was previously a writer and editor at the National Review, and columnist for Dow Jones' MarketWatch. Brimelow founded the Center for American Unity in 1999 and served as its first president. He describes himself as a paleoconservative. Brimelow has also been described as a leader within the alt-right movement. The author focuses debate on immigration policy, and contends that the United States cannot assimilate the current wave of immigration, and that multiculturalism is a danger to the United States. Derived from a Kirkus review: A potent attack on immigration. He's not against immigration in principle, but in practice; analyzing demographic data, he suggests that the post-1965 Great Wave of immigration is having a much greater impact than First Great Wave of the early 20th century because the Anglo-American birthrate is so much lower now. His suggestion that immigrants actually cost more than they help the economy is persuasive, and he notes tellingly that the growth of the Hispanic population, given current affirmative-action policies, will especially impact black Americans. It's undeniable that the Immigration Act of 1965, which allowed ``family reunification,'' encouraged the immigration of numerous unskilled workers and has led to unforeseen effects- -including ethnically based organized crime and a decline in public health. His recommendations: The US should retake its porous borders, favor skilled immigrants over family reunification, deny all payments to illegal immigrants, and perhaps even impose a moratorium on immigration., Random House, 1995, 3, New York: W.
