I am learning how to do a prevention intervention or programming specifically couples programming. I have acquired ways of creating new or adapting existing programs.
The contexts in the curriculum are adaptive and can be contextualized in Papua New Guinea. The program has its pilot testing period and full-on program for 3 years. All we will need is funding to run this program in Papua New Guinea.
Do you think these program approaches would need to be changed to work with heterosexual couples who live in other family arrangements (e.g. with extended family, or polygamous families, or those who do not live together)? If so, how?
I don’t know… Meeting extended family expectations in PNG has been a costly exercise however, it is considered a family obligation. If these expectations are shared among all extended members, it is good but if just one couple, then there is no support, and it will cause a lot of stress.
Do you think these program approaches would need to be changed to work with same-sex couples? If so, how?
I don’t know, I have never worked with same-sex couples.
These are some of the ethical consideration:
1.It is risky for women to leave their relationships
2. Men think that GBV programs are for women only
3. Couples showing love and respect to each other is a shameful thing in public.
4. The couple married at a young aged, they are depend on their parents to provide for them.
5. They are married to meet family expectations so extended family get involve in their decisions.
