ASHA (akreditovaný aktivista v oblasti sociálního zdraví) na pomezí státu. Posílení postavení žen a kultury: tematický přehled
Roč.10,č.2(2019)
Cílem příspěvku je zdůraznit roli státu v posílení postavení žen ve společnosti. Zaměřuje se na komunitní zdravotnice ASHA, což jsou akreditované aktivistky v oblasti sociálního zdraví (Accredited Social Health Status Activist). Článek přináší tematický přehled založený na roli a statutu ASHA jakožto členky neo-liberálního orgánu a zároveň státního zaměstnance pod trvalým dohledem, a mimo to ženy zakotvené v pevné hierarchii byrokracie. Příspěvek je založen na literární rešerši a přehledu zásadních výzkumů provedených v oblasti role a statutu komunitních zdravotníků v různých oblastech světa. Zabývá se představou ASHA jako spojníku a zároveň kontrastu mezi pozicemi aktivisty a zaměstnance, což přináší námět pro studium průniků mezi státem, kulturou a pohlavím.
