Abstract
The report traces six years of Networks for Change project activities, outputs, and outcomes. Researchers use a participatory visual methodology (PVM) approach which involves the use of participatory arts-based methods such as cellphilm-making, collage, digital story-telling, drawing and photovoice to generate data and stimulate social and policy change. The use of visual story telling can help facilitate discussions about sensitive topics such as sexual violence. Young women in rural communities are particularly marginalised due to factors such as gender, age, poverty, geographic isolation and traditional norms, values and “so-called cultural practices.”
