Women shaping participatory research to their own needs
Participatory research should be guided by the needs and interests of those involved and what they are willing and capable of doing, at that point in time, in order to address oppressive circumstances. A deeply wounding oppression many women experience is that of male-perpetrated physical and sexual violence. Women participating in participatory research aimed at their needs may steer it in the direction of opening up a safe, emotionally supportive space where they can talk about what they have experienced. The impetus might be encouraged by facilitators who are seen as trustworthy and as seriously guided by the needs of the women involved. The focus at this point then, for these women, may not be on practical planning, even in response to male violence against women, but on the need to be listened to and believed, which, ultimately, can support a woman's ability to participate in community development activities and planning.
