Through the application of applied theatre and storytelling as an umbrella concept, we envisage that these arts-based practice will create theatre with community groups with the aim of inviting change and investigating community-led solutions to the lived experiences of injustice, inequity, and violence. Our theatrical, storytelling and digital media engagement will offer opportunities over and above conventional research methods to elicit new stories and experiences and catalyze fresh thinking about possible solutions in a way which can engage both women and men from marginalized communities in addressing GBV. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/1dbbcf20-b395-4efb-b01d-9c1ee0b6b2f8/Photo+by+Siddique+SK.jpg Home - Gender-based violence in India In India women and girls with multiple intersecting socio-economic vulnerabilities - the poorest, those from Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe communities, and those with limited education – are at greatest risk. Additionally, we find that the Hijra community in India are placed at the margins and live a life on visible-invisibility or simultaneous inclusion and exclusion. It is for this reason that they voices are seldom heard and they are often delegated to a peripheral hence disenfranchised position. https://www.genvir.org/about-genvir daily 0.75 2024-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/71cb9eb0-5142-4a02-a4c0-afb5f36356e7/Photo+by+Mehmet+Turgut++Kirkgoz.jpg About the Genvir Network - GenViR Network India:UK Gender Based Violence (GBV) disproportionately affects women and girls who often suffer more compared to males. GBV against women and girls is a risk factor for deleterious health outcomes including poor mental health, adverse reproductive outcomes, poor sexual health, disability, chronic pain, brain injury and death. Other gender identities, like the hijra, are also at a higher risk of GBV. Often facing stigma, marginalisation, and violence due to their gender and sexual identities, the hijra also need to overcome societal and cultural challenges in order to build a resilient future. The concept of resilience is gaining traction as a research tool, and this is happening in tandem with a recognition that the complexity of human communities, conflicting intersectionality, and the challenges faced, are growing more acute. Our network intends to meaningfully address these challenges in their full complexity. https://www.genvir.org/partners daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/83c3aa9d-1c0b-4b1c-8026-bc83fdfb4401/EXCAVATE.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/c04656b8-8009-4951-8cce-1120e719a094/swadhar.png Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/531cd7d8-0cfc-47bc-9d5a-cb55da710727/101-768x1086.png Partners https://www.genvir.org/network daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/bf9d25c4-c25a-4ed4-875c-79b1ceb9c7f2/pexels-darrel-und-1023828.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/6829a061-0747-4295-b6f6-cb9144cd92c5/kolkatasanved.jpg The Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/f12dba6c-bfdd-4ef8-b6cc-fae883ba580c/Tweet.png The Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/d7b8ab1c-9bc6-40b1-8834-9cbc3f2cb9d4/we+can.png The Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/fb355ff0-04b6-43b9-8e54-c235fbb0a241/Christ+uni.png The Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/b444d321-b78c-4651-8659-3fbce54515a4/Jahangirnagar-University-725x405.jpg The Network https://www.genvir.org/networkworkshop daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/a832f1a2-9ba1-4395-b734-3cf576baffa3/Genvir_Workshops2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/f7cff4cb-f8e2-4756-a79a-af8a51d58f97/Genvir_Workshops3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/cd732511-be0e-4f17-bc31-be268430c8aa/Genvir_Workshops1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/1715c5cb-e0d4-4b7e-a860-a89ee99c76a3/Genvir_Workshops4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/f6ee06a0-c851-4d09-986f-ceeb1c8175fc/Genvir_Workshops6.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/ade5a2cd-413d-4e6f-a975-cb8d217c8704/Genvir_Workshops5.jpg https://www.genvir.org/our-team daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/66be1d8c-92a8-4286-939c-64be13b71122/Nadia+S.jpeg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/dc6a5817-5533-4dad-8938-6ad866c76c07/Anoop-Bhogal-Nair.png Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/31da25c8-817a-49af-91c9-249290d8d064/Raghu.png Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/d4c0c4ce-7aaa-4b91-b66a-6fd062b4c812/Brown.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/52851698-0c77-4d44-a4c7-bbcaa14f3c64/Antonia.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/20fbcdaf-1f1a-48f8-bba1-3c4300367b81/Selina.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/4b0f9750-c214-44e2-811c-c53ae9a2d75a/Harjinder.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/6f1b087b-6dc0-45ce-99f0-141eafde17b1/Rashi.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/d7f664c7-a358-47f2-a353-4e04b307f599/Ankit.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/427f6b08-e41a-4612-a035-3af40f68aaec/ngozioparah.jpeg Our Team https://www.genvir.org/digital-stories daily 0.75 2024-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62543f0e4e52d25b90dad038/2a236adc-7b97-4362-b2c1-a96b6a44fc35/DS.jpg https://www.genvir.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-02-29
