Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
THE FACT IS: teenagers are having sex. But, that’s not the problem. The problem is that adults pretend that teenagers are NOT having sex. According to International Planned Parenthood, at least 111 million new cases of curable STDs occur each year among young people aged 10 to 24. WHO estimates that 2.5 million girls aged 15 to 19 years old in developing countries have abortions, the majority of which are unsafe and 11% of births worldwide are to adolescent mothers. A lack of relevant sexual education and the training to share this information, especially with young women, is the problem.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
According to the World Health Organization in many cultures puberty represents a time of social and physical change for boys and girls. For boys, puberty is often a gateway to increased freedom, mobility and social opportunities. For girls this is different because in many instances puberty for girls signals an end to schooling and mobility, and the beginning of adult life, with marriage and childbearing as expected possibilities in the near future. imMEDIAte Justice challenges the status quo by empowering young women to critically examine gender and sexuality issues and trains them to share their story of reproductive justice through digital media. By giving young women accurate information, tools to identify problems, and filmmaking skills, they will tell the truth and share it.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
Over the last three summers, the group has given voice to high school queer girls of color through intensive eight-week workshops. To build trust, confidence, and team building skills the programs starts with a weekend retreat with group activities. In the following weeks youth mentors with training in gender and sexuality issues collaborate with peers who have limited access to this knowledge. Next, small teams under the direction of filmmakers receive media literacy skills including screenwriting, critiquing mainstream media, cinematography, editing, & animation. Films created by participants are screened at a red-carpet public event to acknowledge the participants, to raise awareness, and inspire community action. Films are posted to the imMEDIAte justice website, entered into film competitions, and used to generate media visibility.
IMJ takes a unique approach by emphasizing a shift in perspective for young women of color, as producers rather than consumers of media. Our model of participatory education engages young women from high-poverty communities to think critically about the information they receive from school, parents, church, and media. These young women uncover their own facts about gender and sexuality through peer-to-peer inquiry during the filmmaking process, imagining different realities that challenge heteronormative, patriarchal, and class-based norms and dominant narratives.

imMEDIAte justice created something new by combining the hands-on filmmaking approach with young women pioneered by Seattle’s “Reel Grrls” with a sexuality curriculum approach similar to Atlanta’s “Spark Reproductive Justice Now” that centers rather than marginalizes the experiences of young women of color and LGBTQ youth. The result is an innovative participatory learning approach using filmmaking for gender and sexuality issues with a reproductive justice framework that is attractive to other organizations. This approach was piloted and successfully implemented by imMEDIAte justice in Los Angeles, and with partners in Kampala (Uganda), Beijing (China), and later this year in San Francisco.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Over the last three years, imMEDIAte justice has helped train approximately 100 young women in Los Angeles (US), Kampala (Uganda), and Beijing (China). After completing media literacy and filmmaking training, participants continue building their leadership and media skills by becoming mentors to newcomers. One workshop graduate is now pursuing a filmmaking career, and was recently accepted into the film program of the California Institute of the Arts.
IMJ has expanded its impact through public screenings, film festivals, the imMEDIAte justice website, and social media, where thousands have viewed participants' films. IMJ has also been able to spread its message and mission through extensive media coverage, with print, radio, and TV interviews of program participants and staff.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
The plan is to scale up the number of workshops over the next 3 years so that over 1,000 girls receive the intensive media literacy and filmmaking training. These workshops will be done in multiple cities in multiple countries with the intention of training trainers with regional partnering organizations so that the imMEDIAte justice workshops can be sustained in each location. In addition to the 1,000+ young women who receive the workshop training, we expect over 1 million young women around the world will view the sexuality and gender educational films created during the workshops.

Création de l'organisation : nous voulons tout savoir sur votre déclic. Expliquez-nous oú et quand les fondateurs se sont rendu compte que cette solution possédait un véritable potentiel pour changer le monde.
I remember feeling shut down, without a voice, and isolated. My body was a site of violence, shame & silence. My own act of resistance was to create. imMEDIAte Justice comes from a legacy of feminist media making that I learned as a youth at Seattle’s Reel Grrls where I experienced the power of one girl gaining the resources to access her voice. I went on to pursue film at USC and developed stronger community organizing skills. I started the program at the age of 21 with 2 of my best friends as a culmination of my growing political awareness, passion for filmmaking, and proof we could be the heroes we were waiting for.
