“Throughout history, oppressive power has been challenged by the strength of the oppressed unifying as one collective power creating the necessary space to resist and shift the stigma, discrimination and exclusion they face. Understanding the dimensions of power, in terms of the different ways power is expressed to control and influence, the different spaces where power occurs, and how power structures are created and survive, is necessary to create effective social change strategies. The specific understanding of the dimensions of power that produce, reinforce and perpetuate gender inequality and violence against women and girls is the ‘feminist perspective’ which feminist movements and organizations, as well as women’s right movements and organizations, rely on to transform unequal systems of power. Gender-based violence (GBV) programming is feminism in practice within humanitarian settings.”
