“…Interviewing people who have experienced long term violence raises specific ethical and methodological issues (Ellsberg and Heise 2005;Meth 2003). I used a feminist methodology, which I understand as enabling those in marginalised positions to be heard to the extent that they choose, being reflexive about the effects of power and ethics in the research, safeguarding the emotional and physical wellbeing of the researched and the researcher, 5 and pursuing politically active research that has a purpose beyond knowledge production (Skinner et al 2005).…”

“…Domestic violence has seen less attention in geographical research than other forms of violence (though see Brickell 2008;Meth 2003;Pain forthcoming;Warrington 2001). The longstanding feminist assertion that domestic violence is a form of political oppression (Dobash and Dobash 1992;Hammer 2002) is the starting point for the analysis here.…”

“…In fact, this differentiation between the private and the public space is not meaningful -women and men live their lives in both spaces. Paula Meth (2003) challenges this conceptual division on her work in South African informal settlements, where people live in shacks and the boundaries become more complex, above all when experiencing gender violence.…”

Women have been often invisible in urban planning. Col·lectiu Punt 6, a feminist organisation of women architects and urban planners based in Barcelona, Spain, has developed planning techniques and tools to include women both as objects and subjects of urban planning, and as experts of everyday life. The article focuses on the participatory tools that Col·lectiu Punt 6 has developed that can be used in the different stages of planning, from assessing to evaluating planning policies and interventions, as well as tools of women's empowerment with the goal of promoting bottom-up models of planning. Evidence is shown of how, using these tools, planning becomes more inclusive not only of women in their diversity, but also of children, youth, the elderly, as well as people of different race, ethnicity, income, sexual and gender identities, and capacities. Examples from different contexts are provided, from Spain and Latin America.Les femmes ont souvent été invisibles dans l'urbanisme. Col·lectiu Punt 6, une organisation féministe de femmes architectes et urbanistes basée à Barcelone, en Espagne, a mis au point des techniques et des outils de planification permettant d'inclure les femmes aussi bien comme objects que comme sujets de l'urbanisme, et également comme expertes du quotidien. Cet article porte sur les outils participatifs qu'a mis au point Col·lectiu Punt 6, lesquels peuvent être utilisés durant les différentes étapes de la planification, depuis l'évaluation préalable jusqu'à l'évaluation des politiques de planification et des interventions, ainsi que des outils d'autonomisation des femmes dans le but de promouvoir des modèles de planification ascendants (du bas vers le haut). Des données factuelles sont présentées qui montrent qu'en utilisant ces outils, la planification devient plus inclusive, non seulement en ce qui concerne les femmes dans toute leur diversité, mais aussi pour ce qui est des enfants, des jeunes, des personnes âgées, ainsi que des membres de différentes races, ethnies, tranches de revenus, identités sexuelles et de genre, et capacités. Des exemples tirés de différents contextes espagnols et latino-américains sont donnés.A menudo, las mujeres no son tomadas en cuenta a la hora de realizar la planeación urbana. Col·lectiu Punt 6, una organización feminista de mujeres arquitectas y planificadoras urbanas cuya sede se encuentra en Barcelona, España, ideó varias técnicas y herramientas orientadas a incluir a las mujeres, considerándolas objetos y sujetos de la planeación urbana y expertas en lo que tiene que ver con la vida cotidiana. El presente artículo centra su atención en los métodos participativos creados por Col·lectiu Punt 6, los cuales pueden ser utilizados durante las distintas etapas de la planeación: evaluación, valoración de las políticas y acciones de las políticas respectivas. Por otra parte, con el fin de promover modelos de planeación arraigados en la base se examinan, además, los métodos de empoderamiento de las mujeres. En este sentido, se revisa la evidencia existente en torn...

“…protection, "…with familiar and protective boundaries…a haven in a heartless world" (McDowell 1997in Meth 2003). Yet feminist scholars like Domosh andSeager (2001), Sunder Rajan (2004) and Rao (1996) recognize the home as a site of conflict, control and reciprocally, of rebellion and resistance.…”

“…According to Sunder Rajan, there has be a nuanced understanding of the home as "differentiated, political, and marginalizing" (Rajan 2004:774). The home is defined more broadly as a political, economic and social entity besides being an income-earning commodity through rental and collateral functions (Meth 2003). Scholars like Domosh (1998) find that homes are seen as being a bounded, physical entity, which provides a private exclusive space where the residents are free to express their emotions, desires and rest their fears.…”
