Na Liminal's vorige lezing over Mannelijkheden & Zorg, waarin de betrokkenheid van mannen werd onderzocht bij het deconstrueren van mannelijkheid om betere bondgenoten te worden, was er veel interesse voor het onderwerp van transformatieve rechtvaardigheid. Dit gesprek in Beursschouwburg zal onderzoeken hoe transformatieve rechtvaardigheid kan worden ingezet om mannen die zich schuldig hebben gemaakt aan gendergerelateerd en seksueel geweld te ondersteunen en te begeleiden. Samen zullen we nadenken over de behoeften, uitdagingen en voordelen van deze benadering bij het voorkomen van recidive en het bevorderen van echte sociale transformatie.

Facilitator HUGO, engaged in feminism and dedicated to personal deconstruction, actively invests in questioning masculinity and patriarchy. A master-level transformational coach certified by the International Coaching Federation, he has been leading non-mixed discussion circles for men* since 2019. In 2021, he co-founded Liminal, an organization dedicated to reflection on masculinities and to hold men accountable in their role in gender justice. Since immersing himself in a master’s program in gender studies, he has developed a passion for this intersection of coaching and deconstruction and now explores personal development through a gender dynamics perspective.

LIMINAL deconstructs patriarchal norms and gendered expectations in community by holding each other accountable. We believe that everyone can—and men in particular must—contribute to gender justice by reflecting on how patriarchy influences their identity, behavior, and relationships. Liminal provides spaces for exchange, (un)learning, healing, and growth, facilitating transformation through personal development supported by feminist theory.
