I am thrilled and honoured to be part of this marvellous conference, where I will be sharing insights on empowering relationships to break free from patriarchal dynamics. ❤️⚖️
The second plenary speaker on Saturday is Tahereh Matejko. Her presentation is titled: Towards Equality in Love: Empowering Relationships to Overcome Patriarchal Dynamics.
The presentation is described as follows:
Building a more just world requires recognizing the intertwined nature of societal dynamics and individual relationships. This presentation aims to shed light on the often overlooked impact of patriarchy on intimate partnerships, which serve as the foundation of society. By adopting a trauma-informed perspective, we will
delve into the pervasive effects of "psychological patriarchy".
While progress has undoubtedly been made in dismantling patriarchal systems on a larger scale, the subtler
ways in which patriarchal conditioning continues to shape our emotional landscapes often go unnoticed. Internalized gender roles and expectations can lead to emotional suppression, power imbalances, and communication breakdowns in intimate relationships. Consequently, both men and women are hindered
from fully realizing their potential within and through these partnerships.
By understanding the emotional dynamics at play, we can empower loving relationships that transcend patriarchal constraints. Healthy intimacy requires bringing our whole humanity to our partnerships - our strength and vulnerability, masculinity and femininity.
By increasing awareness of our own patriarchal conditioning and actively pursuing self-accountability and change in our personal lives, we can contribute significantly to the creation of a more just and equitable world for all.
