After reflecting on these questions, they came up with the framework:
The observatory, according to Miss Len, can be a good
platform on these findings. Looking at the framework,
where are the choke points when it comes to the
implementation of the law? Where are the facilitating
factors that make sure women are accessing their right
to file a�� case in the law? We sense that women have
limitations in doing it. They are afraid that it will be
formalized because they just want to tell their story.
Their tendency is to back out. We sense the frustrations
of our service provider to really fight for the cases but
sometimes it is the women who wants to stop pursuing
the case.
What is the lived-experience of the woman when they
first file the case? How are they ensured that they
should pursue the case, that they will protected, that
this is not their fault? How do you give them the
assurance that they have all the support they need?
Challenges
4. How sensitive is the existing mechanisms and support systems to the intersectionality of women’s identities and contexts when they document
their experience of gender-based violence? How is this mirrored in the services open to and provided to diverse groups of women?
● Many agencies made an effort to standardize the intake forms. It does not yet incorporate the diverse situation of women which means
we are missing out a lot already. There is no intersectionality of women’s lived experiences. If we are blind to that, we will be unaware of
the service we are not offering. How many women with this concern came to us? Were we able to address it properly?
5. How is the end point of case management conceptualized (e.g. access to justice, empowerment), and consequently, documented?
