F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

Globally, one in three women has experienced some form of physical and sexual violence in their lifetimes (UN Women). Emerging data indicates that since the COVID-19 outbreak, various forms of violence against women and girls have intensified. The combination of economic shocks, restricted mobility and interrupted access to support services and networks have further increased women's vulnerability to violence. In part 3 of this webinar series, we examine rising gender-based violence through the 'lens of space' – public, private and digital, and hope to hear from experts and practitioners on 'what works' to address inequitable power structures and social norms.

Supported by Ford Foundation, this discussion series is part of a research program that seeks to unpack the pathways through which gender-based violence manifests. The program will convene diverse stakeholders with an aim to strengthen the interface between research, program implementation and civil society campaigns.
