This Endline Study is based on the 3-year Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) process that Just Associates Southern Africa (JASS SNA) has carried out from 2019 to 2022. During this period, JASS worked with women activists to conduct FPAR in twelve sites in Zimbabwe and Malawi, six in each country. The process, under the theme “Rethinking power and cross-movement building and networks: Strengthening women’s voice, power and safety to address gender-based violence”, intended to identify and analyse key drivers of structural violence that women in Malawi and Zimbabwe continue to experience and support the development of women-led solutions to Gender-Based Violence from the bottom up. Through a power-gender analysis and framework, women developed and initiated specific action strategies for new rounds of organising and advocacy on structural violence that emerged from this process.
