 Ideas wall
Language/messaging- Terminology GBV vs VAWG - GBV can be more inclusive of different forms and groups
- Importance of language
- In countries, many simultaneous campaigns. Varied messages on VAWG confuses people
Complexity- There are some complexities in behaviour. Attitude and social norms which are context specific and change takes time - understand the process of change
- Continue to value, recognize and understand the complex nature of intersectionality in addressing VAWG/GBV
- Need to go beyond the concept of intersectional analysis and really look at the what divisions are important, like age
- For program planning, we have to remember one size does not fit all. There is not one, single pathway to change
- Agree with the messiness of intersectionality
- There are some complexities in behaviour, attitude and social norms which are context specific and changes take time - understand the pros and cons of change
- No singular direction-ing of norm change and intersectionality
- Continue to value, recognize and understand the complex nature of intersectionality in addressing VAWG/GBV
- Importance of research into causes of violence and intersectional factors
- interplay between norms specifically about VAWG and broader norms related to gender-equality and non-restrictive roles
- Linkages with other movements on other identities - need to explore more; sex workers is an example
Power- Focus must be on "battle" of power and culture
- Addressing VAW through the power lens - prevent broader violence
- Need to work with breaking the silence of women in elite classes or in powerful positions
- Haven't created spaces for elite women as survivors to engage. Questions about whether we should, but also big support.
- Ecological model can be a bit devoid of power analysis
- Violence is structured/rooted in institutions
- Duty bearers and legislation as representations of social norms and reinforce positive or negative social norms
Religion/tradition- Impact of challenging behaviours or traditional practices can lead to more severe consequences (because they feel the need to hide from)
- Societal norms and pressures (women MUST be married) it's so important for girls to marry, they seek out FGM even without parents' consent, so pressure not only family - faith influences attitudes
- Session on Changing social norms, religious leaders and intersectionality
- Mixture of culture and religion as a challenge to address attitudes and norms - how do we deal with that?
- Influence of apostolic churches
- Women who participate in NGOs and the church: potentially parallel processes of empowerment and disempowerment
- Invented traditions - so invent new ones
- Difference between religion and how we interpret it
Interrogations- Mixture of culture and religion as a challenge to address attitudes and norms - how do we deal with that?
- Intersectionality - how Oxfam can work on this?
- How to address taboos?
- How can feminist evaluation with an intersectional analysis influence, shape and challenge the dominant scientific model?
- How to incorporate the linkages of other forms of violence (ethnic) in our response?
- How do we live with intersectionality? Dialogues, recruitment, levels of employment and pay equity
- How do we decide which "norms" to replace so-called "harmful norms" with?
- How can we make intersectionality a lived experience and practice
- How to embrace uncomfortable spaces rather than silencing
