Description
This panel explores (gendered) responses to violence and extreme precarity in Africa. Its papers examine women's experience of gender justice after violence in Sierra Leone, women's non-neoliberal resilience in urban Zimbabwe, the silencing/silence of male victims of sexual violence in North-Eastern Nigeria, and the use of Legal Education plus Trauma-informed Therapy to aid community acceptance of former terrorists in Nigeria. A final paper discusses how to tackle some the discomfort that arises when teaching topics like these in the classroom.
