Identify the philosophical attitudes and perspectives that have led to either the support or lack of understanding for and marginalizing of this group.
Women have faced many challenges that do not generally apply to men, including violence and abuse, low relative wages, unequal opportunities in the workplace, insufficient prenatal and general health care, and a lack of emotional and financial support for single-parenting. Progress along these lines has sometimes been slow due to discriminatory attitudes against: women in general (sexism, or objectification leads to abuse), women in the workplace, women who have children when unmarried, birth control and abortion, and low-income women.
In addition, some critics claim that both liberalism and conservatism can be hurtful to women and children:
"Liberalism approaches people as individuals and is leery of any policies, but especially those with government money attached, that seek to advantage people because of their membership of a group. As a result, liberalism tends to oppose affirmative action program, government largesse for maternity leave, childcare and parenting. Conservatives tend to be supportive of policies that help women as mothers, but much less so of policies that help women in any other role.

In addition, women and children are protected in France by universal public day care, medical insurance, family allowances, and "federally mandated maternity leave" (Hanratty, 1994). Other researchers have suggested policies that force all jobs to be available to women, force equal wages, implement government-subsidized day care, and offer sufficient training programs for gainful employment to single mothers (Antonopoulos, 2010).

Gender-Specific Therapy for Women Prisoners RESEARCH QUESTION AND JUSTIFICATION On average, women make up about 7% of the total federal and state incarcerated population in the United States. This has increased since the 1980s due to stricter and more severe laws that focus on recreational drug use, a lack of community programs, and fewer treatment centers available for outpatients (Zaitow and Thomas, eds., 2003).
