Document Summary
Looking at cross-hatch of different ways to focus on problem. Geographical local issues (community) or national scale. Focus on trauma/crisis rather than focus on cultural change (large cultural factors and reduce them to save gender violence against women) People started to focus on distinctive problems that had socially available solutions. How cultural should be changed to protect women. Feminism and women"s oppressed roles within society moving into specific trauma/crisis responses and those activities reflecting back to larger society. Focus on individuals and ways how social structures can change to make all women safer from gender violence. Women who suffered from sexual assault are affected from sexual harassment, etc. Problems that individual women were public problems that everyone in world need to know and get involved in. There were structural problems that society worked, we"re dismissed that cultural problems are private issues. These movements focused on disrupting these beliefs and there was a role for public intervention in these areas.
