Transcript for the Domestic abuse & diversity module video
This module is domestic abuse and diversity and in this session we will look at the intersecting needs and issues that diverse people have when they’re experiencing domestic abuse.
This is by no means a replacement, you will be diving into diversity more broadly, however we are going to direct you to other resources, and this session will get you thinking about some of the issues which occur and how they might create additional barriers to those seeking help.
One example of that might be in relation to age. What does it mean to be an older person in this society and be experiencing domestic abuse? How might age impact on your ability to access services or the types of abuses you experience? How might ageism affect our responses? Another would be disability. How might domestic abuse intersect with my disability, how might this increase the control that I am subject to?
We’re going to explore a range of intersecting characteristics that can affect my experience of domestic abuse or anyone’s experience.
Your trainers are all experienced SociaLed associates and have the experience and knowledge needed to facilitate your learning. To make this a successful learning experience, in preparation for the session, have a look at the pre-read document which includes a couple of reflective questions for you to explore.
The session will address two key learning objectives. We are going to explain how our personal and societal treatment of intersecting identities can impact their experiences and we’re going to think about how this might present additional barriers to help seek support.
We will do this through the lens of intersectionality. Kimberle Crenshaw’s critical theory helps us think about all the different identities which might intersect and move us closer to power and privilege, or, further away from it.
This is a really important theory to use in this session and you can have a think about this slide, have a google, think about that in advance of this session if you like. We’ll dive into it a bit deeper and think about those diverse needs and issues. See you there!
