Ideas wall
- Community leaders and duty bearers are representations of social norms and can reinforce either positive or negative social norms.
- We expect change to come from political leadership and yet political leadership usually relies on/is enabled by change in society (“people’s permission”).
- Working with religious leaders should allow for immediate and sustainable change at individual and community level.
- Some traditions have been invented recently to justify gender-based violence.
- We must distinguish religion itself and the interpretation made of it.
- The rise in religious extremism is linked to an increase in violence against women and impacts women and their rights in general.
Strategies used by Oxfam in Pakistan:- Identify progressive local religious and political leaders.
- Create spaces for them to dialogue.
- Cultural barriers are always present.
- Expense of legal recourse = Alternate dispute resolution and interaction with court system
- Influence of the apostolic churches
- Women participate in NGOs and in the church: potentially parallel processes of empowerment and disempowerment
Interrogations- How to engage and influence religious leaders, especially with the difficulty to align the necessity of elimination gender-based violence and religious and social norms?
- How to address attitudes and norms dictated by religion and culture?
