The Crab In The Bucket

Transform Lateral Violence in Your Community

Lateral Violence occurs within marginalized groups where members strike out at each other as a result of being oppressed. The oppressed become the oppressors of themselves and each other. Common behaviours that prevent positive change from occurring include gossiping, bullying, finger-pointing, backstabbing and shunning.

• Are you living or working with Aboriginal communities or organizations?
• Have you experience what you consider to be Lateral Violence?
• Do you feel a sense of disempowerment and isolation as a result of
• gossiping, bullying, or shunning? 
• Do you believe change is possible?
• Are you willing to be part of the conversation about how to transcend this cycle?
