Gender-based violence in Luanda

Participatory video-project

Background:

The project aimed for an advanced training for the participants of the "Christian Association of Young Women" / YWCA network, who had already participated in a participatory video workshop in 2013.
The focus of the training was on video-pre-Production (with an emphasis on script-writing) and post-production (with an emphasis on video editing). The goal was to equip YWCA activists with additional knowledge and skills to independently produce video material to spread to their target groups.

Activities:

• Teaching of advanced script-writing- & video-production-skills
• Various lectures on research- and interview-techniques
• Video-documentation of the "16 Days against gender based violence"-Campaign, to be included within one final video
• Filming of necessarry interviews and images, elaboration of the narrations and its recordings

Results:

Production of two educational documentaries:

1.) “Sexual violence within the family in Luanda“
2.) “Seizure of Goods and the Right to Inheritance in Angola“

• Four participants are from now on responsible for the elaboration of script-writing concerning future UCF video productions
• Five participants have agreed to dedicate their skills for creating the editing-team of the UCF media unit.
• These videos have in 2016/17 become an integral part of UCFs public screening activities and are shown primarily within schools and partnering churches
