Editor's Note

We welcome you back to this, our 2nd Edition of Collective Action Magazine
Interesting articles to stop by
Working on this edition has been exciting for a number of reasons. First and foremost, we were an official partner of the Presidential Summit on GBVF 2 which brought together various stakeholders. End GBVF Collective partners, many of whom have formed strong working bonds whilst working behind the scenes, met physically for the very first time. Whilst some reunited with their collaborative colleagues, others formed new bonds. The summit produced an atmosphere no camera could capture. We are thrilled to announce the improvements made to this digital edition, making this publication unique and more interactive. To make reading easier and more enjoyable, we have included multimedia functionalities that capture stories in both written form, and with clickable audio-visual links all in one place. You can read and watch videos all with a simple “scroll or click”. The mandate of this magazine is to ask the question, “What are we doing to #EndGBVF?” It is from this perspective that we tell the collaborative story. For this edition, we cover the Summit through exclusive interviews and draw from the proceedings, gleaning into lessons learned, and responses from End GBVF Collective partners. Our team had many interesting conversations during the Summit that shed light on the complex tentacles that reach into the GBVF response sector. We spoke with Elizabeth Dartnall from the Sexual Violence Research Initiative, and she explained that violence against women is preventable, but we must first understand the drivers. Eusebius McKaisser, a political analyst, weighed in his view on the unequal power between civil society and the state (watch his video).
