Peer Learning Forum
(Ashleigh)
Peer Learning Forums are meant to go more in depth on a specific topic, in this case how we can create a unified and strong national presence in
the advancement of both sexual and intimate partner violence. We really encourage participation in order to learn from one another. We will be using the text chat a lot today and we can also open up the phone lines to hear from you all that way. If you would like to come on the phone line rather than use the text chat, please just raise your hand and we can facilitate that.
Please send a private chat message for help.

DIFFERENT
(Ashleigh)
PLFs are different then our general web conferences – we have a narrow audience and can go deeper into one issue over the series.

March 8, 2017

Our first session is titled Reciprocal Advancement. Throughout this series we will be exploring intentionally linking the fields of sexual and intimate partner violence as a strategic way to leverage resources, and increase visibility and sustainability.

13. California Coalition Against Sexual Assault
About the Presenter
(Ashleigh)
Leah Aldridge,
California Coalition Against Sexual Assault

14. Peer Learning Forum Learning Objectives
Articulate ways to reimagine the work of sexual and intimate partner violence as unified
Identify shared outcomes for sexual and intimate partner violence collective work
Identify strategies to mobilize as a collective front
(Ashleigh) Throughout this series we will be exploring intentionally linking the fields of sexual and intimate partner violence as a strategic way to leverage resources, and increase visibility and sustainability. We will do this through reimagining the work of sexual and intimate partner violence as unified, identifying shared outcomes for sexual and intimate partner violence collective work, and through identifying strategies to mobilize as a collective, unified front.

15. Linked Yet Distinct (Ashleigh)
Leah, before I hand the floor over to you, I just want to highlight this image
We know these two issues are linked. They share risk and protective factors and are both social justice issues with patriarchy and oppression as root causes. There are distinctions
Yet the way we often do our work and the way the general public understands our work are as two separate issues
This is evidenced by two recent reports – SADI & Reciprocal Advancement

16. Reciprocal Advancement
Released in 2015
Not enough funding
Sexual violence often marginalized in dual organizations
Significant and relevant distinctions between the two fields are not made
(Leah)

17. Sexual Assault Demonstration Initiative (SADI)
Released in 2017
Organizational change & programmatic change at 6 sites over a 4-year period
Enhance sexual assault outreach, services, and community partnerships in dual/multi-service programs
Found heavy focus on domestic violence, invisibility of sexual assault
(Ashleigh)
The SADI was funded by OVW to enhance SA outreach, services, and community partnerships in dual/multi-service program through organizational and programmatic change. The project involved 6 programs over a 4-year period and was focused on response and services to survivors, not prevention. Through community assessments, programs found that they were known for their domestic violence services and many community members were not even aware that they provided sexual assault services.
“The profound invisibility of the sexual assault work done by these sites was especially remarkable or the four sites that had been doing sexual assault work for more than a decade. That there was so little community awareness, even in those communities, speaks to the dominance of domestic violence work in the eyes of the public. It also underscores that enhancing SA services entails redefining the organization itself, both internally and externally.”

18. History of distinct fields
Fields emerged at the same time with different socio-cultural impulses & political trajectories
Field has become more scientific based and less politically based
Has become more professionalized
Social service v. social justice
(Leah)

19. Challenges to working together
Political climates and trends
Generational priorities
Categorical funding
Others
(Leah)

20. Discussion Question
How have you discussed sexual assault and intimate partner violence in linked yet distinct ways?
(Ashleigh & Leah)

21. Ideologically - Reciprocal Advancement
“… the method of intentionally linking the fields of sexual assault and domestic violence, internally and externally, to leverage funding, bolster client services, and coordinate advocacy efforts to increase the visibility and sustainability of both fields.”
(Leah)

22. Practice - Reciprocal Advancement
Integrate prevention strategies
Create new opportunities for investment and identify intersections and linkages between fields
Support local, state, and national leadership in intentional conversations and collaborations aimed at breaking down barriers and increasing communication
(Leah)

23. Reframing
(Leah)

24. Brands
Brand: “name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers.” -- American Marketing Association
Brands:
Embody
Distinguish
Communicate
Appeal
We are not supposed to think ONE or the OTHER but instead “a life free from violence” anti-sexism, anti-racism, a symbol about having each other’s backs. Unified field doesn’t privilege sexual or domestic violence one over the other but it encompasses all issues with shared roots.
Include well known brand images here. And How to change a brand – what do you have to do after you have already established yourself in the marketplace in one thing what has to happen to reconfigure that?
Mcdonalds, toyota, nike,

25. What narratives do you associate with each of the brand logos?

26. Two Strategies – One Movement
(Leah)

27. Discussion Question

In 10 years from now, what will be the dominant narrative of the unified field?
(Ashleigh & Leah)
What does the symbol suggest --- what does it mean?
