Initial ideas¶
Project at-a-glance¶
Problem - What is your fight or problem?
Reducing gender violence by promoting healthy masculinities, helping couples establish emotional regulation and exploring ways to tackle problems at the root (prevention, working with younger populations).
Specific aspects of the problem - In what ways can we tackle the problem to mitigate it or solve it at the root?
Work with women to empower them financially, work with men to nurture positive masculinities, work with children to tackle problems at the root.
Communities to engage with - What users or communities can we collaborate with to solve the problem?
Couples, children (teenagers or younger), all-men communities, women in vulnerable situations.
Weak signals - What signals relate to your fight?
Non-heteropatriarchal innovation, tech for equality, emotional design, redesigning habits, wellness tech, economies of care, inclusivity activism, productive domestic space.
Outcome - What impact do we want to see in the world as a result of this?
Couples with better communication, fathers teaching positive masculinities to their children, empowered women, new generations with new lenses regarding positive masculinities.
Success - How do we imagine success, by when and how will we measure it? (metrics)
Depends on chosen community - but some metrics could be - increased number of new honest conversations in couples, better distribution of income or management of income in women, increased dialogues around toxic and positive masculinities in younger generations.
Outputs & Milestones - What tangible or intangible deliverables or interventions will I ship and when?
-
Ongoing communications stream to keep key players and collaborators in the loop – (i) Updated notion with all the repository, (ii) biweekly newsletter with over 100 subscribers, (iii) landing site for built products (in progress)
-
A series of interventions - 1) co-creating with children in public spaces and academic institutions 2) detecting gender bias in synthetic realities, 4) using AI chatbot for healing from IPV (work-in-progress)
