ABSTRACT

This article is an exploration of Critical Appreciative Inquiry and the practice of appreciative resiliency in the face of violence, tragedy and Covid-19. We investigate, through video documentary, how sharing stories and sharing pain can create opportunities for hope, trust and resilience. We explore spaces of safety and connection where experiences of violence against women and girls can be prevented, heard or healed. Together we move from despair and hopelessness to healing, forgiveness and constructive action.
