GSWS: Activism Against Gendered Violence
Loading...
Uploaded by SFUFASS on Dec 13, 2011
Violence against women, girls and gender variant people is the most pervasive form of human rights violation in our society. Yet, it is barely on the radar when it comes to public awareness, political attention and civic philanthropy.
What can we do to make it as much of a motherhood issue and inspiration for activism as breast cancer, stroke or heart disease?
The incident of victimization from gender-related violence is far higher than from society's most common diseases.
Yet challenging gender violence is a constant struggle in all communities. During the Stanley Cup riot, Vancouver was associated recently with a culture of masculinity that values toughness and loutish behavior directed at property and people.
We allow intolerable levels of unease for gender variant people and women moving through the Granville Entertainment District and other public spaces throughout the Metro Area. The city has the highest incidence of homophobic crimes in all Canadian cities according to Statistics Canada*, and wears an international badge of dis-honour over the disappearance of women in the downtown Eastside. Myriad grassroots community groups are working to challenge attitudes that condone gender violence. They increasingly garner awareness and need broad-based public support in communities, schools and other sites in Metro Vancouver.

I think this video is less a message against gendered violence as it is a message against firm normative (male) gender performativity. In that sense it's alright. Though one could argue that gender violence and conformity to macho, sometimes violent, normative male performance are related, I still find the labelling of this video a little unjustified. This video may aim to speak out against gendered violence, but it neglects to include trans people or women in any significant way.
