Gender inequality enable violence in Mercy’s life and community in a way that Mercy did not have the opportunity to continue school like her brother and ended up with un planned pregnancy and got married un planned as well which caused her to encounter difficulties with family cores to cater for her family and at the same time go to market ant earn some money. All these was violent to Mercy and could affect the community because Mercy is not able to contribute anything to the community since she is busy with family cores. or is always in private cores.
Having been persuaded by a boy leading her to have unplanned pregnancy worsened gender inequality all caused by not having same opportunity with her brother of attending school.
I would place the prevention activity to universal and mitigation
Because Universal has an element of prevention the community from GV and other related issues
And mitigation by setting strategies to prevent GBV and related issues to happen
What I know about Mercy’s story is that she faces violence (Emotional, physicals, economical, psychological but she tries to protect her children not to experience violence and also she is trying to cope with that live style she is living buy trying to look for solutions herself to keep her family.
Violence prevention is important for Mercy’s community so that violence can be eradicated for present and future generation as well as female in the community but also for social change where men/boys need to change for better. This will bring community development, women / girls participation in community development, less/ no health issues to women and men, little offences to perpetrators.
Some of the activities to prevent violence in Mercy’s community could be community discussions, focus group discussions (men. women, youth, local leaders…), workshops, campaigns, use of media, talk shows, use of artists, discussions in schools and curriculum on gender equality with includes violence prevention.
One example of a violence prevention activity is; Community discussions for both men and women and youth on the issue of violence in their community, its consequences to individual, families and the community in general and how all should be responsible for the solution in fighting violence so that women and girls be able to enjoy life as men as well as contributing to the development of the community.
