Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Discomfort with Addressing Sensitive Subjects: Some girls and women who have experienced GBV may find it difficult to open up. They may have been sexually violated during the conflict or are experiencing GBV post-conflict. Beyond the personal struggle, it might be socio-culturally challenging to discuss such topics as GBV. Insight: Be sensitive and move slowly. Consider performing a drama or other artistic endeavour as a means of expression. Encourage participants to act out feelings and collective solutions. Be sure not to isolate individuals or push women outside of their comfort zones. If possible, reach out to a local psycho-social counsellor who has expertise in this area to help facilitate difficult discussions. Limited Resources: The link between poverty and conflict/post-conflict situations has been previously explored. Communities caught up in conflict do not have immediate access to resources as many social services may have deteriorated or have been abandoned completely. In post-conflict areas especially, there is the added challenge to restore basic services in health, education, water supply, and increased life opportunities for women, disabled, children. Unsafe Public Space In conflict/post-conflict areas, safety is a continual concern. Certain responsibilities may put girls and women at greater risk of harm; for example, in the course of collecting firewood, water or food, they must venture away from protected areas. They may have to walk in open space and in order to collect resources, exposing them to harassment and possible sexual assaults. It is critical that traveling to sport programmes not put women in further jeopardy of experiencing GBV.
