Sharing Practice: A Justice-doing approach to work with Men who use violence
While Gender Based Violence involves all genders this session centres on work with men who have used violence in relationship. This writing is framed on intersectional analysis leaning heavily on feminist bell hooks teachings that ‘Feminism is for everybody’.
This writing offers an approach that is overtly political and resists carceral logics and individuating violence, and moves towards not only personal accountability but actually transforming rape culture-which exists within a wider culture of violence. It addresses the tension of holding dignity and safety for women, transwomen and children at the centre while working to hold men responsible for their violence- while also maintaining the dignity and humanity of these men.
We will reflect on our own ethical stands for this work and illuminate our practices of holding these tensions centered on accountability. This session will be useful for everyone working to resist carceral logics in our work while centering people who are harmed and holding multiple centres that refuse to abandon people who have used violence.
