Hi friends,
I have just became project director for a non-violence project, trying to
prevent homophobic threat, violence and harassment. The target group are
homo-, bi- and transsexual persons in the Skane region (south part of
Sweden, where Malmo is located). Co-operation partners is The HIV Prevention
and Health Promotion Agency and the Police.
Last time I focused on the perpetrator, how to prevent her/him of doing
crime. Now - and this is harder - the focus is on the victim, how she/he can
prevent related homophobic hate crimes.
Last time I could use Engeström triangle about activity, since the
perpetrator is actually involved in an activity. But - and here my brain is
limited - how can I use the triangle or activity for people being victim? Or
do I have to have an other perspective from the beginning?
I think for the perpetrator the triangle could be very useful, since you
could understand the homophobic emerging from the social cultural context.
But - and again I am trying to force my thinking how to swift to a victim
activity system?
If anybody have a thought on this subject I would be grateful.
All the best
Hans Knutagard
Your man in the cyber world struggling with prevention questions.
