I swear the horrors aren’t even daily, they’re hourly. And simultaneously so we don’t see all that is happening.

Seems like a lot of people are choosing not to travel for ISA next year! Will miss you! But I would love to figure out a way to have this conversation elsewhere and/or online at another time.

Oof, I love that phrase: “empty and joyful at once.” It perfectly describes the sense of release (and maybe acceptance?) that I felt.

Five, respondents admitted to being bad at taking care of themselves given the demands of activism, funding issues, overwork and the state of the world. All wanted to know other respondents’ answers to figure out practices of care (any ideas outside of my dissertation welcome! Comic? Podcast?)

[Oops, I was part way through this and had to stop to put my little baby nephew (who has a cold) down for a nap while also battling a cold myself. This break only adds to my point about balancing work-life and prioritising care!]

Four, they decide their own canvas of impact. While the ultimate goal is a world with no violence, they defined success in smaller ways: 1. focusing on cities/states with friendly governments, 2. their work leading to open conversations with family about gender norms ie “slow/soft activism.”

Three, everyone’s motivation was deeply personal and came from their own or a loved one’s or experience with SGBV. Some jumped into anti-SGBV work to heal/deal with their experiences and some took time to heal and then jumped into the work.

Two, almost everyone I talked to sees what they do as being tied to who they are as humans. While a few were hesitant to label themselves as “feminist” or “activist,” they all said the work was important. “Once you see it [SGBV], you can’t unsee it” so you decide to do something.
