| DRAFT - Domestic violence in quarantine |
INITIATIVES / DEMANDS
(concrete pirate care and bottom-up practices, both emerging and pre-existing)
AWARENESS AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES The Chilean feminist collective Red Chilena contra la Violencia Hacia las Mujeres launched a series of resources under the Twitter hashtag #enrednoscuidamos. These resources aim to create awareness on the systemic quality of domestic violence and offer as well practical information.
PREVENTIVE INITIATIVES In the Argentinian region of Neuquén exists since 2018 the Dispositivo de Atención a Varones (DAV). They work with male offenders (when there is already a denounce) to prevent relapse, trying to deconstruct their notions of masculinity and power within their families. As developed in this article - SPA, the center offers therapy for closed groups, where they work around the topics of paternity, sexuality, violence, etc. A critical aspect they address is the notion of property over other members of the family (partner, children). They also confront ideas of individual and personal senses of the law with current legal frameworks, trying to introduce the concept of responsibility with a community. DAV works with people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and they observe that violence acquires many forms, more or less subtle, and different strategies of concealment. Life stories are incorporated in the narratives as a way to connect (or disentangle) people with their uprisings.
