The implementation of an anti-oppression approach in feminist agencies must deal with contradictory tensions within the model. Feminists imagine anti-oppression as a model of practice that deals with all structures of oppression. At the same time, feminist members of marginalized communities perceive that their particular form of oppression is not attended to in the model. The authors contend that one must understand anti-oppression practice within the historical and social conditions that create inequity and offer implications for practice. C ommunity-based social service agencies in Toronto have been affected by calls to integrate an anti-oppressive practice model that deals with the multiple oppressions experienced by women who have been marginalized. The demand for organizational change has come from practitioners, as well as from community members and agency funders (Barnoff, 2002). As a result, many social work agencies are engaging in some form of anti-oppressive practice. At the same time, agency personnel struggle to determine the precise nature of anti-oppression practice and how to integrate an anti-oppressive approach systemically within organizational systems (Barnoff, 2002).This article is based on research that investigated the processes that are associated with introducing anti-oppression models in organizational structures. Specifically, the study explored how practitioners in feminist social work agencies in Toronto have worked to implement anti-oppression frameworks in their organizational practices. A major goal of the project was to explore concrete organizational experiences to learn more about how to implement an anti-oppressive model effectively. The research also focused on the critical factors that help and hinder the introduction of anti-oppression frameworks into practice.In this article, we argue that the implementation of an anti-oppression approach that is focused on multiple oppressions in feminist agencies must deal with a contradictory tension within the model. Whereas feminists imagine anti-oppression in its ideal form as a model of practice that deals with all structures of oppression, members of marginalized communities perceive that their particular form of oppression is not attended to. Instead, these women view the introduction of an anti-oppression form of practice as a replication of the invisibility they have experienced in the past. In the first section of this article, we discuss the literature on anti-oppression practice. In the second section, we outline the

English Globalization impacts on all countries, adversely affecting developing countries such as India. Global and national standards for social work education should develop appropriate perspectives addressing the negative feelings of communities. The conception of 'self' as defined by the west needs to be seen in the context of communal relations of the east. French La mondialisation affecte toutes les nations, mais a un impact défavorable dans des pays en développement tels que l'Inde. Les normes mondiales et nationales de formation en travail social devraient développer des perspectives permettant d'en réduire les effets négatifs ressentis par les communautés. La conception du 'soi' (définie par l'occident) nécessite d'être vue dans le contexte des relations communales de l'orient. Spanish La globalización impacta a todos los países, afectado negativamente a naciones en desarrollo como la India. Los estÁndares globales y nacionales para la educación del Trabajo Social deberían desarrollar perspectivas para denunciar los efectos negativos que afectan a las comunidades. La concepción del "ser" (definida por el Occidente) necesita ser vista en el contexto de las relaciones comunales con el Oriente.
