Interrogations
It's important to be mindful of the terms we use when considering violence against both girls and boys
- GBV vs. VAWG – GBV can be more inclusive of different forms & groups
- GBV has multiple definitions and there's the risk/threat of being de-politicised and not addressing VAWG
Some points were raised about work with boys (in the overall context of Men & Masculinities work)
- What is the role of biology? Are boys born a certain way? (Physical energy, etc) But they are also informed by social groups and boys receive messages
- Challenge of finding true or “meaningful engagement” with men and boys – must socialize these groups
- Whether boys or girls, their learning in family and faith environments needs to be considered and addressed. For instance, girls may seek out FGM because of societal and faith-driven norms, attitudes, and pressures them (e.g., they must marry and therefore must have FGM)
How do we build women’s/girls’ agency to say NO to violence?
Ideas for reaching youth
- mass media, social media (includes edutainment, pop culture)
- F2F/direct media - eg theatre
