UNCCH Type of Gendered Violence and Why it is Important Discussion

Papers should apply theory, Papers should be double spaced and 750-1000 words.

Discuss one concrete way that you personally can reduce a specific type of gendered violence. Your paper should explain (1) the type of gendered violence you are addressing and why it is important to you (one page); (2) your plan for reducing violence (one page); (3) how you are particularly equipped to implement the action you identify (one-half page); and (4) how what you propose would directly address a contributor to the specific type of gendered violence you identify as your focus (one-half page). The idea you propose does not need to be (and should not be) huge; rather, it should focus on one tangible step that you can identify in your own life. You might use the following questions to prompt your writing (you do not need to answer them explicitly in your paper, but they may help you to develop a thoughtful response to gendered violence): What has shaped your thinking and attitudes about gendered violence? What talents or skills do you possess?
