Weave

From Indigenous Australia, India, Nicaragua, and South Africa, the WEAVE Collective conducted ground-breaking, multi-country research on the role of feminist movements in the prevention of VAWG. Drawing on feminist and Indigenist research methods, teams documented historical trends, political milestones, and hard-won achievements of feminist movements in addressing VAWG through political campaigns, research, landmark court cases, and collaborating with other social movements. These methods included qualitative and participatory techniques, co-creating knowledge through interviews, focus groups, the construction of timelines, archival research, document and policy analysis. In some cases, quantitative data (e.g. from national femicide studies) was woven in to help tell a country’s story.
