Racism and Colonial Violence in the Helping Professions

by Amanda Gebhard, Sheelah McLean, Verna St. Denis ...

When working with Indigenous people, the helping professions —education, social work, health care and justice — reinforce the colonial lie that Indigenous people need saving.

While domestic violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women’s experience, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace and state violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical ... Read more
