Day 8: Digital Storytelling
be heard -- tell your story
---------------------------
Listen to survivors of violence against women take up multimedia
technology, and tell their own powerful and transformative stories.
Digital storytelling by Silence Speaks [www.silencespeaks.org] is an
initiative that makes it possible for survivors and witnesses of
violence to come together in small groups, reflect on their gender
training and experiences of abuse, and tell their stories in their own
words, sounds and images.
Few opportunities exist for survivors to tell their stories in their
own
words. Silence Speaks fills this gap by connecting survivors and
witness
of abuse with their creativity and making their voices the centerpiece
of violence prevention and social justice efforts. Bearing witness to
these stories moves the issue from the individual to the collective,
and
offers hope for ending the violence.
Twelve powerful stories are showcased on Take Back The Tech!, in
partnership between Silence Speaks and APC Women's Programme.
Listen deeply.

*************
Action Day 8
*************
A study [http://www.stopvaw.org/Prevalence_of_Domestic_Violence.html]
based on 50 surveys from around the world shows that at least 1 in
every
3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in her lifetime.
Depressing statistics. But at the same time, think of all the women
that
you know. Grrls and women that you have chatted with on the bus, at
some
party, waiting for the elevator, at a work function, distant relatives,
their partners.... There are so many survivors amongst us.
1 in every 3 women whom we come across has experienced targeted and
senseless violence; and they are just... fine. We walk amongst unnamed
sheroes; with stories of tenacity, courage and everyday survival.
Action begins from reality. Tell your story. Use technology to amplify
your voice. If the rabble is loud in its protest, if 1 in 3 women speak
their case, then reality might start to look a little less ridiculous.
