A Groundbreaking International Conference to explore and examine the impact of religion, faith, spirituality, science, and research on the practices of (BIP) programs!
ECT Executive Director, Michael Paymar and ECT consultant/trainer Oliver Williams will be presenting.
Workshop: The Duluth Model Coordinated Community Response presented by Michael Paymar
The Duluth Model was created as a coordinated community response (CCR) comprised of law enforcement, agencies in the criminal and civil justice systems and some human service providers. The Duluth Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (DAIP) crafted an organizing methodology to ensure that intervening agencies in the CCR were held accountable to each other through policies, procedures and practices. The goals were and are to make communities safer for survivors of IPV and hold offenders accountable for their violence. The Duluth Model was and continues to be a criminal and civil justice reform initiative.
Plenary: The work continues: Looking for New Opportunities to Address Gender Based Violence with Faith Communities presented by Michael Paymar & Oliver Williams:
Michael Paymar will explore gender-based violence by looking at the nature of the problem, the historical roots of men’s violence against women, the foundational pillars that allows oppression to occur, the influence of our culture on men and boys, the backlash against the gains women have made, and some paths toward change.
Ending gender-based violence won’t occur if we simply leave it up to law enforcement and the criminal justice system. And with all our good intentions, those of us who work with BIPs, advocates who work with survivors and other interveners; we know that we can’t resolve these complex issues alone.
Dr. Oliver Williams will address how BIP programs can work with clergy in their respective communities by addressing misinterpretation of scriptures, cultural influences and sexism that have been barriers in faith house for victims and perpetrators seeking help.
This address and small group discussion will follow an earlier plenary section that he will be co-presenting with Dr. Anne Ganley tilted “Batterers Intervention Programs and Faith Tradition.”
Discussion and small group exercises will be conducted to drill deeper into we can do to challenge community institutions, (including the faith community) to promote an environment where men reject sexist beliefs in male superiority and entitlement and instead embrace equality, respect and nonviolent and non-controlling relationships with women.
By the end of the session, participants will learn from each other about social change strategies and successful ways to engage community institutions. When we return to our respective communities, hopefully we will be inspired to collaborate with others (we can’t do this alone) and challenge community organizations to do more.
Among the questions we will explore include: 1) what have we learned from our past that helps us expand our methods of addressing barriers to reducing domestic violence, 2) what are the benefits of including Faith in our work and 3) what are the challenges of including Faith in our work to address domestic violence, 4) do we include primary, secondary and tertiary approaches in addressing domestic violence among faith communities with men?
