This year, INDIVISIBLE 2.0 documents 16 photo-stories highlighting the unique struggles of (GBV) survivors, that are part and parcel of our society. Through a q.feminist and intersectional approach, the narratives collected are raw firsthand accounts of women and people from marginalized communities. Their experiences are not prevalent in the mainstream advocacy efforts related to GBV, nor are their needs adequately addressed by formal service providers. This lack of representation halts progress and illudes the programs designed to spread awareness and create support. The eventual culprit is a system without protective laws that does not acknowledge their struggles. 

 
INDIVISIBLE comes as an attempt to embody the efforts that 1MORECUP is putting in breaking through the systemic silencing of different marginalized communities, even within global campaigns. 1MORECUP is committed to advocating for the elimination of all forms of violence against marginalized communities in Lebanon and the region. Beyond violence, INDIVISIBLE aims to shine a light on ways of coping and emergence out of GBV. The stories also build up on learning from individuals who were able to break out of the cycle of violence. 

We invite ourselves and extend this invitation to you to reconsider the approach to GBV advocacy, as the ultimate purpose is to ensure a space for everyone.
