One year after 4 women with 4 stories from 4 communities got together to think about how to connect on similar issues, “Our United Voices” grew as an initiative to explore intersectionality for doubly marginalised women in Cambodia. Women with disabilities, rural women living in the city, women facing violence, and Indigenous women all face unique and special circumstances. Over the last year, Women Peace Makers has led a process using our own homegrown information gathering and conflict transformation known as Facilitative Listening Design (FLD) with these groups. Women representing their own communities reached out to others and listened to their stories, later recorded what was said, and shared findings in the group with all communities together. This video explores their journey using FLD and sharing what they heard from women in their communities – and also giving them a chance to listen to themselves through the process.
Our United Voices is supported by the Voice initiative and is in collaboration with Nika’s Seeing Hands Massage Therapy, Dare and Dream, and Cambodia Indigenous Women Working Group.
