In December 2025, we started implementing Stay Tuned project. The project aims to develop practical non-formal education methods and techniques for confronting gender violence. We focus on how creative writing, storytelling, and artivism offer powerful methods and techniques for undoing the effects of gender-based violence and mental health resilience. And thus, we look at how, through structured narrative practices, gender violence’s victims reframe their experiences and reconstruct a sense of self while confronting gender violence: the technique of storytelling practice using counter-narratives.
Counter-narrative stories confront gender stereotypes, assert the complexity of the lived experiences of gender violence often silenced and/or distorted in mainstream discourse. They require creating safe, supportive spaces where the victims can speak their truths, be heard without judgment, and reimagine a safer future. Storytelling offers a narrative structure that serves as a metaphor for undoing the effects of gender violence, particularly in youth work settings. Thus, in confronting undoing the effects of gender violence, storytelling is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Thus, different techniques offer different pathways to process gender violence trauma, and build mental health resilience.
For gender violence's victims, the method of storytelling is just as important as the story itself. For instance, digital storytelling has become a vital engine for countering sexist narratives, effectively merging traditional storytelling with the immediacy and the reach of modern technologies. While with collective storytelling, the collective nature of a story is vital for gender violence victims. It shifts focus from a solitary struggle to a shared struggle through counter-storytelling. Experiential storytelling shifts confronting gender violence from an intellectual exercise (writing or telling a life story) to an experiential exercise (feeling and telling a life story): how it feels like to be inside that memory. |
