22. Safe Homes :
Did we restructure Power in any way ?
Did we structure the pattern of relationships , authority and
distribution of resources ?
 A horizontal leadership class emerging majority women
grassroots versus the security tribe Islamist male triangle
 Challenge abusive authority at home
 Reposition community discourse and position on child abuse
 Create tension that enables doubt and the emergence of new
thought paradigms to emerge

23. Safe Homes : Did we restructure
power in any way ?
