Dear Members of End-violence, Warmest wishes for a healthy, fulfilling 2002!
This week, we would like to continue our discussion of Violence Against Women in Post-conflict Situations, which we began before the holidays. Post-conflict societies face unique opportunities and challenges for those wishing to end violence against women. They often struggle with a legacy of intense violence, in which women were specific targets. Yet there is also a chance to change old values and behaviors that were oppressive and abusive to women. Based on your knowledge and experience, what do you believe are 3-4 CRITICAL ACTIONS needed to reduce, eliminate, and manage the post- conflict consequences of violence against women? Are there specific programmes you recommend for post-conflict societies? We would also like to suggest agenda topics for the coming weeks. Kindly note that next week we would like to build on the topic you have begun: Changing Male Behavior. PROPOSED AGENDA January 7 - 18, 2002: Changing Male Behaviour January 21 - February 1, 2002: Sexual Assault Post February 1 (to be finalised in response to members' suggestions): * Economics * Culture * Politics and legal issues * Community Action * Youth * Prevention * Media and technology We look forward to learning from you regarding specific actions that should be taken, and supported, in post-conflict societies. We also welcome your suggestions regarding the agenda for the coming months.
