Pathways of resort in urban GBV: preliminary findings Dr Melissa Demian Consultant, World Bank March 2017
The question: what leads to better outcomes for urban women who experience domestic violence?
Working through church womens fellowships: Z. Tinning at Trinity Lutheran Church, 3 Mile
One way to work out a relationship: saying sorry at a komiti mediation, Busu Compound, Back Road
Another way: Village Court hearing, Malahang, Back Road
Emergent themes Referral pathways are still largely theoretical in nature, and may lead to temporary relief from violence but not its resolution Safety-seeking strategies are ad hoc and carry their own risks Disconnections: spatial and informational blockages at the edges of the city Connections: women who are active members of groups finding better outcomes. BUT
The single most common aspiration was economic independence from the husband but no sense of how to achieve this without: Literacy and numeracy Business skills Access to capital Financial And social Disconnections again: how to form new social groups, e.g. women s associations or cooperatives, in the face of inter-ethnic distrust, political interference, and competition for donor interest?
