Talking about domestic violence: A handbook for ... - Engagingmen.net

steps:
10 minutes 1. Warm up exercise
Select a suitable and fun warm activity from Chapter 6 to help everyone
to relax and focus.
10 minutes 2. Review of previous (session 2)
The facilitator should summarise key words from session 2 by asking:
What do you remember from the last session about factors that contribute to
domestic violence?
10 minutes 3. Presentation
3.1. The facilitator can then introduce the session by summarising key points
from the introduction above.
3.2. Next, s/he should introduce the objective for the session and ask one
of the participants to read out the objective.
Tip for facilitator: Make sure the objective is written on the flipchart before
the session begins.
30 minutes 4. Brainstorming
4.1. The facilitator starts out by asking participants the following questions:
Who is affected by domestic violence? How are they affected?
4.2. One facilitator should lead the group; the other will list all the answer
on a flipchart.
4.3. S/he should then group the answers into five clusters:
• The victim.
• Children in the family.
• The family as a whole.
• The community and society.
• The perpetrator.
Tip for facilitator: not every group will identify the perpetuator. In this case, probe
the group by asking: what about the perpetrator? Is he/she also affected?
30 minutes 5. Group discussion
5.1. The facilitator then divides the participants into five groups
5.2. Each group is given a different cluster (victim, children in the family,
family as a whole, community and society, and perpetrator):
How does domestic violence impact these people?
