“Social norms are about power. They reflect and they reinforce power relationships that empower some groups of people and marginalize others, which is of course why they can be very difficult to change and shift.” – Dr. Rebecka Lundgren
Social norms at play: “We send our girls to school and we think that they’re safe. But they’ve been attacked or raped by their teachers, the older boys, the boys in their class.” – Faustina Fynn-Nyame
