Working with Women of Color: An Empowerment Perspective
Abstract
Women of color—black, Latina, Asian American, and Native American—constitute a large proportion of most social work caseloads. Yet the unique needs of women of color have rarely been presented in the social work literature. Research has established that their struggle with the double burden of racism and sexism exacts a toll on their mental health and restricts their opportunities. Social workers must deal with both the psychological effects of powerlessness and the concrete problems in their clients' lives. The concepts and techniques of empowerment, which focus on issues of power imbalance and on helping clients to gain the power to affect their social conditions, can form an effective basis for working with women of color. The author identified a specific set of principles of empowering practice for women of color.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
