CAC 1 278 Part D – Discussing Status (35 min) CAC 1 1. Ask participants to discuss how it felt to be treated on the basis of a random assignment of status. 2. Discuss how the game can represent real life in our families and the community. 3. Emphasize that as a community we generally tend to assign women a lower status than men (as demonstrated in the previous exercise using gender lifelines). Ask who in their community holds the ‘high status cards’ and who has ‘low status cards’. Is this based on who they are as individuals or other things like sex, age, wealth, jobs, etc.? Ask participants: “Who holds the high status cards in the family?” Discuss the implications of their answers. 4. Emphasize that domestic violence is usually perpetrated by a person of higher status against a person of lower status, usually man to woman or adult to a child. 5. Discuss how domestic violence is a result of this difference in status. Tip This discussion is important because many people claim that poverty or alcohol causes domestic violence. Poverty, alcohol, and many other things often listed as causes may be contributing to domestic violence, but domestic violence is most often caused by a difference in status between women and men. Remind participants that domestic violence happens in families that are rich or poor in which men drink alcohol or don’t. These factors do not cause violence; instead, it is the lack of value and worth given to women. The idea that women experience domestic violence because society assigns low value and status to them is fundamental to how domestic violence will be approached in the community. 6. Explain that the purpose of the Project is to highlight the injustice of women’s low status and begin changing community attitudes and behaviours that maintain women’s low status. In this way, the promotion of women’s rights and equity in relationships is a crucial part of the work of preventing domestic violence. Activity 1.9 Causes of DV – role plays (2 hrs) Objective ■ Identify factors that lead to domestic violence. Women’s lower status in their intimate relationships is the root cause of domestic violence. Steps Part A – Preparation of Role-Plays (45 min) 1. Divide the participants into two groups. Ask each group to create a role-play that shows a situation where a man is abusing a woman. Ask participants to create the story using their own experiences or what they have seen in their own community. 2. Ask the first group to create a role-play from a woman’s perspective, addressing the following type of questions: ■ Who is she? Mobilising Communities to Prevent Domestic Violence
CAC 1 ■ What is her history? ■ Who supports her? ■ What do her parents say about the abuse? ■ What do people say to her when she is experiencing violence? 3. Ask the other group to create a role-play from the man’s perspective, addressing the following type of questions: ■ How did he become violent? ■ What made him violent? ■ What do people say to him when he is being violent? ■ How does he treat other people? ■ How does he feel when he is being violent? ■ What is his life like, beyond the incidence of violence? 4. It is important to emphasize the difference in perspectives from which the two groups are approaching the role-plays. Ask each group to truly imagine the perspective they are trying to portray. For example, the group role-playing the male perspective has to imagine what is going on inside the man they are portraying, not what they think he should do. 5. Encourage both groups to think of real people they know or have seen experiencing violence. Give the groups time to discuss, create, and practice their role-play before coming back into the main group. Part B – Role Play 1 (20 min) 1. Ask the first group, portraying the female perspective, to act out their role-play. 2. Ask the audience to identify factors that made the woman vulnerable to violence from her partner. The participants may suggest the following: ■ The woman’s community said nothing. ■ Her parents told her it was to be expected. ■ She was dependent on her husband for money. 3. Emphasize that, ultimately, the woman was vulnerable because the community assigned a low status to her and her worth as a human being. Emphasize also that the woman is not to blame for the violence committed against her. Part C – Break (15 min) Part D – Role Play 2 (20 min) 1. Ask the second group, portraying the male perspective, to act out their role-play. 2. Ask the audience to identify factors that contributed to the man being violent? The participants may suggest the following: ■ He felt entitled to do whatever he wanted to her. ■ He wanted to assert his authority where he could (i.e., over her). ■ He was angry and took it out on his wife. ■ Nobody stopped him. ■ He was drunk.
