Steps<br />
Part A – Creating Mock Advocacy Plans (1 hour)<br />
1. Explain that in this activity participants will develop a hypothetical advocacy plan to prevent<br />
violence against women.<br />
2. Divide the participants into two groups.<br />
3. Ask the participants to imagine that they have decided to advocate for preventing violence in their<br />
community:<br />
■ Where would they begin?<br />
■ What institutions would they target?<br />
■ What individuals would they try to influence?<br />
■ How would they try to do it?<br />
4. Ask them to write a step-by-step plan for their ideas (e.g., a ten-step plan that lays out each step in<br />
a logical order).<br />
5. Ask each group to present their work and discuss their ideas. Ask open-ended questions to<br />
broaden participants’ understanding of the importance of working to change the community’s<br />
perceptions of women and of influencing the attitudes of their peers. Emphasize that advocacy is<br />
about persuading and inspiring others to take action. This involves convincing others and<br />
proposing practical, achievable alternatives.<br />
Part B – Planning for Advocacy (1 hour)<br />
1. Ask the participants to form small groups with other participants in their workplace/community. Ask<br />
them to take a few minutes to discuss how they could apply what they have learned in this activity<br />
to advocate for prevention of violence against women in their workplace/community.<br />
2. Ask each group to share their thoughts.<br />
Activity 3.15 Revisiting Action Plans (1 hrs)<br />
Objective<br />
■ Review and update Action Plans based on what participants have learned in this workshop.<br />
Steps<br />
1. Ask participants to think about all the discussions and activities during this workshop and to write<br />
down some of the key things they feel they have learned. Emphasize their discussion about<br />
advocacy on Day 1 (Activity 3.4).<br />
2. Ask participants to identify three specific things that they will do in their work/community/sector,<br />
based on what they learned.<br />
3. Ask them to look at their Action Plans, assess what changes they will make to it, and how they will<br />
build in new activities that reflects the aims of the phase. In their Action Plans, they should also<br />
apply what they have learned from this workshop and from their work since the last workshop.<br />
