+ | |||
+ | Awareness work is to get people to be mindful of themselves and others – particularly those who, by their appearance or deeds, deviate from the prevailing norms of a social group. Through this effort, the danger of violating personal boundaries (up to and including violence) shall be minimized. | ||

+ | An important part of Awareness is to acknowledge that only the affected person can determine whether their personal boundaries were violated. This is because the mainstream society usually decides who is blamed and who is discriminated against. To oppose this is to give those a voice who normally just get ignored. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For us this means that we support the affected in processing the situations they experienced. Also, if asked to, we communicate with the people from whom the discriminating or transgressing behaviour originated. Our goal in doing this is the aforementioned Awareness: to create understanding and recognition of how and why some behaviour transgressed someone else’s boundaries, even if it happened entirely by accident. This is not done in a moralising way – we act against the behaviour, not the person. It is explicitly not about guilt or judging someone as a “perpetrator” but about responsibility for future behaviour. | ||
