  1. PICTURE CODES ON Gender and Sexual Abuse Reduction

  2. HOW TO USE PICTURE CODES Introduction • Picture codes are materials that are used to stimulate a discussion about specific issues like behaviour which puts people at risk of HIV infection. • The picture code has a photograph on one side showing people in different situations and on the other side has questions for the outreach worker to ask to stimulate a discussion. • Underneath the questions are “talking points” or information the outreach worker can share with participants. • Picture code stories are basically the same as picture codes except that there are several pictures that should be shown and discussed one after the other. They usually tell a story of people in different situations who make different behaviour choices. Getting started • Bring together a group of one to 15 participants for a session and have participants sit in a circle or in a way they can see the picture. • It is best not to stand in front of the participants like a teacher since the idea is to get the participants to talk about themselves. • The outreach worker should lead the discussion by asking questions and not talk too much. Asking questions • Show the picture to the participants and start with the general question “What is happening in this picture? That should be enough to get the discussion started. • Ask other questions to stimulate further discussion. • Skip questions that have already been discussed. • Ask follow-up questions to encourage the participants to offer more detail about their behaviour. • Try to ask open-ended questions or questions that don’t take a single word answer like “yes” or “no” such as “What do you think about that?” Being a good listener • Don’t be judgmental or moralistic about the discussion. • There is no right or wrong answer to the questions the idea is to get participants to think about their behaviour choices. • A good outreach worker is a good listener who appears to be very interested in the answers to the questions. • Get the participants to relate what is happening in the photos with themselves or people they know. • Correct any misinformation at the end of the session. Getting everyone to participate • Don’t let one or two people talk all the time. • Ask a question directly to a different person each time. • Re-ask the same question to different people. • Ask others if they agree with the responses given. Organizing sessions • Discuss about six picture codes or flip chart pages in an hour-long session • Discussing 25 pictures in one session is less useful unless it is doubtful the outreach worker will see the participants again • Use the information under the “Talking Points” section to answer questions or make points that haven’t already come up in the discussion • If specific questions arise find a suitable picture to use to stimulate a discussion on the topic.
