Hello Neera,

I believe the following documents would be useful to your literature review.

Individual, Family, Community and        Societal Health
2.   The Health Care Sector's Response to Woman Abuse
3.   Understanding and Charting our Progress Towards the Prevention of Woman
Abuse
4.   Violence in Society: A Public Health Perspective

If you are interested in any of these resources, please send me your mailing
address.

Thanks,

Subject:  Women In Public Policy: Atlantic Community Based Initiatives




Women in Public Policy Initiative:

Hello,

We would like to invite you to contribute to the literature review we
are compiling as part of the Women in Public Policy initiative. The
literature review will pull together the "best practices" and "lessons
from the field" from Atlantic community-based equality-seeking women's
groups and individual women who have tried to affect change within
their communities and public policy.

Specifically, the review will look at:

? what approaches women have tried;
? which  ones have worked and which haven't and why is this;
? what barriers keep community-based women's groups and women active
in support of women's issues from influencing public policy in a
positive way;
? what barriers keeps women from making change within their
communities;
? what do the women see as needed for them to have more impact on
policy development and making, and ultimately making, change within
their communities.

We are looking for materials that you or your group may have
developed during projects that were aimed at influencing policy and
initiating change within your community.

Please contact either of us, Neera Datta or Pratima Devichand, if you
have any resources that will inform the literature review for this
initiative.

Thank you for taking the time to assist us in this endeavor.
