Women’s empowerment through education!

by Faatemehzahraa Ahmadi | Jan 27, 2010
 

This is an interesting idea and I just wanted to say that you could apply Freire’s educational model in your workshops.

Hi Faatemehzahraa Thank you

Hi Faatemehzahraa

Thank you for the feedback. I'm not familiar with the Freire's educational model--but I will look it up.

This is wonderful am just wondering if you thought of how the workshop will be conducted if some of the women will be ilitrate .

The main aim of the workshops

by Zola Ndimande | Mar 02, 2010
 

The main aim of the workshops is to not give out pamphlets but to engage and communicate to each other. The emphasis is on sharing experiences, knowledge and expertise with mothers to be. These workshops will be carried out in "birth class" style with a focused objective to empowering the mother with choices.

Anyone that does not speak the same language will be catered for in another way. Perhaps start a similar workshop in their own language. The objective is for women to feel strong and understand the information suggested to them.

In some countries birth classes are a norm but in other countries, they are paid for, received by a few mothers. This needs to change-

Women are very powerful in

Women are very powerful in creating spider networks that support each other and learn from each other. We must not belittle that. When all technology and modern medicine fails to meet our needs it is these connections that are really important to us and which sustain us. Communities ( doctors, nurses, midwives, men, sisters) need to mobilise themselves from within to take care of the needs of the women and create supportive structures for mothers to feel safe and empowered.

Its a simple model, but it can transform the way women think about the health of the babies and themselves.

Keep cool; anger is not an argument.

One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.

Will men be supportive?

by Sarah King | Feb 06, 2010
 

You mentioned that most women give decision making to men and health professionals. Will the men of these communities be supportive of the workshops that will be offered? How will you advertise and encourage participation in areas where it is not readily accepted? And what specific information will the workshop curriculum include?

Mens Participation

by Zola Ndimande | Feb 18, 2010
 

Thank you for this comment. No doubt it is a challenge. I think the best way to go about it is have open dialogue and communication within the community and family unit. Maybe some kind of incentive for men (in the beginning stages)in areas where such subjects are taboo.

The information contained in the curriculum will be based on empowering the woman with information so that she doesn't give the decision making powers to others but feels confident enough to make those desicions herself.

Health Workshops

I already knew most of this through common sense though, but it's a pity that some parents of gay youth or anti-gay groups (for example, Prop 8 supporters) don't realise this as clearly as others do and understand that their negative actions and attitudes towards homosexuality often only make the situation worse.

This might be lame (I don't know), but in high school we would always play a Jeopardy-like game. We'd draw a table just like on the game up on the board, then go around the room and each person could pick their category.
