| 0:00:00 | i mean |
|---|
| 0:00:05 | my name is character model and i ministers your professor and the department of prevention |
|---|
| 0:00:09 | incubating help at the george washington university school of public health |
|---|
| 0:00:14 | my work in gender based violence spans over twenty years |
|---|
| 0:00:18 | and i would characterise the as action based research |
|---|
| 0:00:22 | in that i use the tools and the skills the public health and taking multiple |
|---|
| 0:00:27 | perspectives and different discipline in looking at the issue of gender based violence |
|---|
| 0:00:32 | and make no mistake gender based violence is a public health issue |
|---|
| 0:00:37 | it is not localised it is an epidemic |
|---|
| 0:00:40 | actually it's a pandemic |
|---|
| 0:00:43 | it affects many people |
|---|
| 0:00:44 | men women rolls royce communities worldwide |
|---|
| 0:00:50 | and it |
|---|
| 0:00:50 | is well documented the health the fax |
|---|
| 0:00:53 | that gender based violence can have |
|---|
| 0:00:56 | and our current thinking |
|---|
| 0:00:57 | all gender based violence |
|---|
| 0:01:00 | needs work |
|---|
| 0:01:01 | we tend to take an individual perspective |
|---|
| 0:01:03 | and to make people shameful and it being their responsibility to make change and that's |
|---|
| 0:01:10 | this has to change |
|---|
| 0:01:12 | so looking at putting the world the public health and gender based violence together reasoning |
|---|
| 0:01:16 | to the project i want to share with you today |
|---|
| 0:01:19 | and that is project of this project voices |
|---|
| 0:01:22 | which is a community academic partner show that looks at gender based violence among immigrant |
|---|
| 0:01:28 | latinos in washington d c |
|---|
| 0:01:31 | immigrant like to you know is make up the fastest growing segment of our population |
|---|
| 0:01:34 | yet have not been given the public health attention that pages are |
|---|
| 0:01:38 | so putting together this clearly academic partnership right from the start |
|---|
| 0:01:43 | we put in a grammar that make sure that each partner had half of the |
|---|
| 0:01:47 | funds |
|---|
| 0:01:48 | and that we train commuting members in research how to conduct interviews had to recruit |
|---|
| 0:01:54 | ask questions that a gender based violence so they also had the capacity to do |
|---|
| 0:01:59 | more projects after this one was done |
|---|
| 0:02:02 | so in our first phase of our project we talked one and one with members |
|---|
| 0:02:07 | of the community |
|---|
| 0:02:08 | men women boys and girls |
|---|
| 0:02:11 | that gender based violence what is it the their perspectives we looked at it from |
|---|
| 0:02:16 | home country experiences immigration experiences |
|---|
| 0:02:20 | but family |
|---|
| 0:02:21 | personal |
|---|
| 0:02:23 | be they social norms and experiences we also a about forty different types of gender |
|---|
| 0:02:29 | based violence |
|---|
| 0:02:30 | and the effect that those forms of violence had on health and wellbeing |
|---|
| 0:02:35 | from interviews we created a survey that we then want to gain a more broader |
|---|
| 0:02:41 | clearly perception of gender based violence and the actions that we could take to prevent |
|---|
| 0:02:46 | so we developed a survey that we gave to six hundred community members |
|---|
| 0:02:50 | but this was a little different and how we implemented that we actually did a |
|---|
| 0:02:55 | computer based survey where |
|---|
| 0:02:58 | people look to the screen and only they could see what was on that screen |
|---|
| 0:03:03 | the interview was also they could hear the questions through their headphones either english or |
|---|
| 0:03:10 | in spanish by the speaker and the screen was a touchscreen |
|---|
| 0:03:14 | and that way people didn't know what questions will be announced and we didn't necessarily |
|---|
| 0:03:19 | need to have highly rates of literacy to complete the interview |
|---|
| 0:03:24 | and what we found from all of these stories that we collected is that there |
|---|
| 0:03:29 | is a lot of stress in this community there's a gender based violence that is |
|---|
| 0:03:35 | occurring among men and women voicing cross people just don't talk about |
|---|
| 0:03:40 | but for this project what we're noticing is that there is a dialogue people are |
|---|
| 0:03:44 | talking about it then we are currently analysing all of these stories in working with |
|---|
| 0:03:48 | really members the meters |
|---|
| 0:03:51 | she this dialogue going so that we can talk with people talk with numbers of |
|---|
| 0:03:56 | the could really talk with q t champions so that we can create |
|---|
| 0:04:00 | so through these people's voices working together and only by working together can we hope |
|---|
| 0:04:07 | to foster the development of innovative programs and strategies that we can one day ultimately |
|---|
| 0:04:14 | prevent gender baseline |
|---|
