SESSION THREE : EXPERIENCING THE CONTEXT

Session three was divided into two parts. This session was intended to focus on the
understanding of substantive equality and social contexts.

Part A: Understanding Equality

Naina Kapur and Smita Bharti facilitated the session and introduced the concept of
substantive equality to the participants. Two exercises, role paying and the line of equality,
were carried out in order to understand the meaning of substantive equality. After the exercises,
discussion has followed.

Before doing the exercises, Ms. Naina Kapur briefly introduced the concept of substantive

equality and how it is related to the exercises. According to her, treating people the same
is not treating people equally because we have not understood the differences that
cause inequality. In order to understand such differences causing inequality, we need to walk in
peopleûs shoes and grasp actual experiences of reality that they might have.

Exercise 1: Role Playing

4 participants were invited to play the main characters. The rest of the participants were
asked to do a reality check.

Nok (Judge Suntariya Muanpawong) : Aliùs daughter. She was raped by Sombat when she
visited his home.
Maria (Judge Jacinta Correia da Costa): Sombatùs mother. She thinks that Nok comes to her
house too often.
Ali (Dr. Supandi, SH, M.Hum) : Nokùs Father. His wife died at an early age. He is a businessman
who is always busy. He does not have a good relationship with Nok.

Policeman (Justice Campbell) : policeman in local police station only interested in his own
promotion.

Sombat is Nokùs good male friend. One afternoon Nok went to Sombatùs house when his mother
was not at home. They went to Sombatùs room, talked, did their homework, played some music
and danced together. While they were dancing, Sombat made an advancement. Nok said
No but he was insistent and finally raped her. The role play starts when she comes back home
after being raped.
