Project description
How humour is tackling gender-based violence
Gender-based violence continues to affect countless women, often perpetuated by harmful stereotypes and misconceptions. In a creative twist, some survivors are using humour to challenge these narratives. Gender-based violence subversive humour (GVSH) gives victims a platform to reclaim control and spark conversation through stand-up comedy and personal jokes. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the HUMOR-GV project explores this emerging form of expression, investigating how GVSH is crafted, delivered, and received by audiences. The project also looks at how it helps deconstruct myths, raises awareness, and supports survivors’ well-being. By offering new insights, HUMOR-GV aims to promote social change and create a more inclusive society where humour helps dismantle the stigma surrounding gender-based violence.
Objective
Gender-based violence is a widespread phenomenon that disproportionally affects women. Gender-based violence subversive humor (GVSH) aims to critique, subvert common myths, and raise awareness of gender-based violence. GVSH often occurs in the form of stand-up comedy or jokes made by victims who seek to reclaim narratives, cope with their negative experiences, and subvert stereotypical beliefs about gender-based violence. This project employs mixed methods to a) understand how GVSH is conceptualized, delivered by victims, and perceived by the audience; b) examine the positive effects of GVSH on deconstructing gender-based violence myths, raising awareness, and motivating people to fight gender-based violence, and c) investigate how women who have been victims and are survivors of gender-based violence appreciate, use, and positively benefit in terms of wellbeing from GVSH. The project aims to establish a new line of research by providing evidence about this type of humor and exploring its potential to promote social change and foster inclusive societies
