abstract

This article reports on the work of a group of young African women teachers from rural South Africa who worked with a Girlfesto that focuses on addressing gender-based violence (GBV). An international group of girls and women who had come together for the Circles within Circles retreat in Montebello, Canada, developed the Girlfesto. Using the lens of girl activism in the context of policy dialogue, we offer an analysis of the young women teachers’ engagement with and speaking back to the girl-informed Girlfesto. After having read the Montebello Girlfesto the 11 young women, working in small groups In a workshop setting, were asked what they thought about the Girlfesto, what they could add to it, and what they could do with it in South African rural contexts. The feedback and ensuing group discussion were recorded and transcribed. Using thematic analysis, several themes relating to young women as sociopolitical actors were identified: activism as starting with themselves; taking the Girlfesto to the community; and actioning the Girlfesto for social change. The young teachers revealed their growing political awareness about the complexities of going beyond words to a practice of activism to address GBV in the schools they teach at and in the communities in which they live. Beyond inserting their voices in the Girlfesto, the discussions enabled the young women teachers to reflect on their tools for girl-led activism and policy dialogue in schools and communities. The findings suggest that enabling girls and young women to engage in transnational work focusing on addressing GBV creates a space to learn from each other and to refine their learning to suit a particular local context.

“一切都写在那里;应该有一些事情会随之而来”:作为女孩主导的农村社区激进主义战略的女孩节

摘要

本文报道了一群来自南非农村的年轻非洲女教师的工作,她们与专注于解决基于性别的暴力 (GBV) 的 Girlfesto 合作。为加拿大蒙特贝罗的 Circles within Circles 撤退而聚在一起的国际女孩和妇女团体开发了 Girlfesto。在政策对话的背景下,使用女童激进主义的视角,我们分析了年轻女教师与了解女童的 Girlfesto 的互动和回应。在阅读了 Montebello Girlfesto 之后,11 位年轻女性以小组形式在工作室环境中工作,被问及她们对 Girlfesto 的看法、可以为其添加什么,以及在南非农村环境中可以用它做什么。反馈和随后的小组讨论被记录和转录。通过主题分析,确定了与作为社会政治参与者的年轻女性相关的几个主题:行动主义从她们自己开始;将 Girlfesto 带到社区;并通过 Girlfesto 活动推动社会变革。年轻教师们透露了他们日益增长的政治意识,即在他们所教的学校和他们所居住的社区中采取行动来解决基于性别的暴力问题的复杂性。除了在 Girlfesto 中表达她们的意见之外,这些讨论还使年轻女教师能够反思她们在学校和社区中开展以女孩为主导的激进主义和政策对话的工具。
