SFWAR is collaborating with the Oakland-based non-profit Creative Interventions and the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Mills College to support the STORY-TELLING and ORGANIZING PROJECT (STOP), in which we collect stories about how individuals heal from, and/or find justice after, surviving intimate forms of violence. The stories are also being collected to publish an SFWAR chapbook that will serve as a resource to help other survivors and their communities find their own paths toward healing and justice in their recovery.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE YOUR OWN HEALING/JUSTICE STORY?
YOU WILL RECEIVE $20 TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT
To be eligible to participate in the project, you must meet the following criteria:
** You must self-identify as someone who is a survivor from an intimate form of violence and be open to telling your story about how you are healing from the experience
** You must be willing to be interviewed once in person for 1 hour at the SFWAR office, in your home, or somewhere else where you are comfortable between October 6 and 21, 2009. A half-hour follow-up interview will also be conducted.
** You must be willing to sign an informed consent form that allows us to tape record the interview (you will be given control to strike anything from the record that you wish as well as a range of options for possible use of your recording)
If you are interested in participating in the STOP collaboration, please confirm by October 1, 2009 by contacting Amal Kouttab, Community Initiatives Director, SFWAR, at 415-861-2024 or by e-mail: akouttab@sfwar.org We look forward to hearing from you!
