This research explores reasons why congregations in Paarl community are not involved, as faith based organizations (FBO's), with the support of female adolescent victims of sexual abuse. The researcher conducts a literature review concerning the developmental phase of adolescence and issues regarding sexuality that emerge from this phase. The researcher discusses the nature and effects of sexual abuse and statistics regarding this abuse. Different church leaderships' statements regarding the prevalence of sexual abuse are also viewed. Based on the literature study, empirical research is conducted to explore why congregations in Paarl are not involved as FBO's with the support of adolescent female victims of sexual abuse. The researcher uses basic individual interviews with several leaders of congregations in Paarl to gather the data needed. Lastly, the data is analyzed and discussed. Based on this discussion, the researcher offers some guidelines for congregations to become more involved as FBO's with adolescent female victims of sexual abuse. / Social Work / M.Diac.(Direction: Youth Work)

89 7. RESUMÉ The thesis is focused on the life of Jewish community in Prague, on the background of post-Holocaust and post-communist Europe. In the first part, the reader is introduced into the historical and sociological views on Jewish identity, with an emphasis on Central Europe and Prague in particular. The main part of the thesis is divided in separate chapters, each dedicated to one of the contemporary Jewish congregations in Prague. A special attention is given to the Jewish Community of Prague (Kehila Prag, or ŽOP). The other congregations analyzed in the thesis are Chabad Prague (part of Hasidic movement Chabad Lubavitch), Bejt Simcha and Jewish Liberal Union (both liberal/progressive), Bejt Praha and Masorti Prague (both conservative). Since the current situation of the communities has been poorly covered in relevant literature, our main sources of knowledge have been the internet pages of individual congregations, legal documents (statutes, articles of association), and periodicals issued by some of the communities. The question "Who is a Jew" is central in searching for the Jewish identities. The answers vary across the congregations (according to their nature - orthodox, conservative, liberal), with ŽOP being the most problematic. The orthodox Kehila Prag has founded its membership policies on...

A travers le concordat et les Articles organiques l’État contrôle l’Église. En revanche, les congrégations bénéficient d’une certaine autonomie. En effet, grâce à la tolérance des pouvoirs publics pendant une bonne partie du XIXe siècle, elles se sont affranchies pour la plupart de la législation existante, dont l’application est peu à peu tombée en désuétude. A partir de 1879, les Républicains majoritaires au Parlement, veulent promouvoir les valeurs républicaines dont, à leur sens, la plus importante d’entre elles : la laïcité. Tous les politiques ont conscience de la nécessité d’octroyer une liberté d’association la plus large possible en préservant les libertés individuelles. Le principal obstacle réside dans les congrégations qui aliènent ces libertés par des vœux. Comment les inclure dans une loi d’ensemble tout en contrôlant étroitement leurs activités ? Que leur reproche-t-on ? D’une part, en raison de leur prosélytisme teinté de conservatisme, les congrégations sont soupçonnées de mettre en péril l’existence de la République naissante par leur action dans l’enseignement et tout particulièrement l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur supposé former l’élite de la nation. D’autre part, elles accaparent des biens à travers la constitution d’une mainmorte supposée très conséquente. Pendant trente ans, les nombreux gouvernements successifs tentent de légaliser le droit d’association avec une forme de reconnaissance réglementée des congrégations à travers de nombreux projets et propositions de lois qui n’aboutissent pas avant la fin du siècle. La loi du premier juillet 1901 est donc la conclusion d’un long processus d’élaboration qui conduit à une loi de liberté accolée à une loi d’exception qui exclut les congrégations religieuses du droit commun très libéral applicable aux associations civiles. / Through the Concordat and the Articles of the organic law, the Sate keeps the Church under control. In return, the congregations have the benefit of a certain autonomy. In fact, thanks to the tolerance of the authorities during a large part of the 19th century, the congregations are liberated from the majority of existing legislation, which gradually fell into disuse. From the year 1879, the Republicans, representing the majority in Parliament, want to promote the republican values, among which according to them, the most important is secularity All the politicians are aware of the necessity of granting the widest possible freedom of association, while preserving individual liberties. The main obstacle to this lies with the congregations who alienate these liberties because of the monastic vows. How to include them in a general law yet keep a tight control of their activities ? What are they blamed for ? On the one hand, because of their proselytism tinged with conservatism, congregations are suspected to put in peril the newly born Republic due to their action in education, especially in secondary classes and superior ones expected to form the elite of the nation. On the other hand, they monopolize goods by establishing a probably important mortmain. For thirty years, the successive governments tried to legalize the right of association with a type of controlled recognition of the congregations via many projects and propositions of laws which led to something only at the end of the century. The law passed on the first of July 1901, is thus the conclusion of a long process of elaboration which led to a law of freedom coupled with an exception which excludes religious congregations from very the liberal common law applied to civil associations.

A separação física de homens e mulheres no interior das prisões públicas, embora experimentasse tentativas de aplicação, só foi nacionalmente regulamentada com o Código Penal de 1940. Entre as penitenciárias criadas a partir do Código figura o Presídio de Mulheres do Estado de São Paulo. Inaugurado em 1942, o estabelecimento permaneceu sob a gestão da Congregação de Nossa Senhora da Caridade do Bom Pastor de Angers até 1977. A mesma Congregação administrou, também, o Presídio Feminino de Tremembé, desde sua inauguração em 1963 até o advento da gestão laica, em 1980. A partir de investigação bibliográfica associada à intensa e ampla pesquisa documental em arquivos nacionais e internacionais, o presente trabalho vem a contribuir para a elucidação dos percursos legislativos e institucionais do encarceramento feminino identificando sujeitos históricos e seus papéis no quadro político-penal. Para tal, o texto traz a identificação e localização de um extenso aparato documental composto por fontes inéditas. Além disso, o trabalho identifica e propõe uma cronologia legislativa a respeito da execução penal no estado de São Paulo e em território nacional; e descortina a trajetória institucional da congregação do Bom Pastor, das origens à sua contratação para a administração prisional feminina no estado de São Paulo, analisando sua atuação. / The physical separation of men and women inside public prisons, although attempted to apply, was only nationally regulated with the Penal Code of 1940.

The same Congregation also administered the Tremembé Women\'s Prison, from its inauguration in 1963 until the advent of secular management, In 1980. Based on bibliographical research associated with intense and extensive documentary research in national and international archives, the present work contributes to the elucidation of the legislative and institutional paths of female imprisonment, identifying historical subjects and their roles in the political-penal framework. For this, the text brings the identification and location of an extensive documentary apparatus composed of unpublished sources. In addition, the work identifies and proposes a legislative chronology regarding criminal execution in the state of São Paulo and in national territory; And reveals the institutional trajectory of the Good Shepherd congregation, from its origins to its hiring for the female prison administration in the state of São Paulo, analyzing its performance.
