Describe your workshop/presentation (300-500 words):
"Sports" has always been regarded as a masculine domain. Boxing, martial arts and other fighting sports have long been male-dominated sports. Associated with violence and aggression, these sports often discourage female participants. Those who do practice fighting are often seen as the purpose of “self-defense.” Thus, the boxing movement, which employs a highly conventional male sport as therapy for female survivors, is especially unique.
This workshop will share the result of the “Female Boxing meets Women's Rights”—a collaboration between the proposer and the GOH Kaohsiung branch where boxing was introduced to teenage girls in shelters. The program differs to conventional intellectual and mindfulness lectures. Rather than “speaking” about bodily experience and its traumatic associations, they “enact” the experience through boxing. By boxing, they reform and release their armored, tough, and tired bodies scarred from their traumatic experience. The program leads the girls to believe in themselves once more and to break through the conventional girl empowering system of “self-defense” which includes “stepping away from the old self” and “trusting female empowerment.”
The procedure of the boxing course as follows: assemble a team of boxing coaches to visit the institute. After the boxing courses, a follow-up discussion on physical reactions, observations, life experiences, and sexual experiences would take place with the participants. Field notes and interviews with staffs at the institutions are also taken into account. The boxing therapy program is carefully monitored and recorded. These records are crucial for redesigning teenage girl empowerment programs and also its intention of breaking away from gender stereotype.
「運動」向來被視為陽剛的場域，拳擊、武術等搏擊運動長期以來更是男性為主的運動項目。搏擊運動含有象徵暴力的、侵略性的元素常讓許多女性卻步，較少成為女性休閒運動的選項，女性參與搏擊運動也往往被框構為「保護自己」或「防身」之用。因此拳擊運動如以一高度性別化的運動，更突顯出以此運動項目做受暴女性培力途徑的特殊性。
本工作坊將分享提案人於2017年迄今與勵馨基金會高雄分事務所合作，進行「用女拳做女權」的安置機構青少女培力計畫，用拳擊運動來直面一群受到暴力傷害的女性之成果。課程規劃採取有別於心靈或知識性的培力方式，不從「談」身體經驗出發做意識覺醒，而是用拳擊運動來「做」身體經驗，去改造她們受暴經驗裡武裝、強硬、疲憊的僵硬身體。我們藉由拳擊課程來傳遞能夠銘刻於身體的經驗知識，在課程中透過身體「能」做到來形塑心理「能」相信自己，突破社政系統少女培力的「自我保護」框架，增添「突破舊我」和「相信女力」的培力概念。
計畫進行方式為，籌組教學團隊每週一次的前往機構教授拳擊課程，並在課後與成員討論身體反應，帶出的生命經驗覺察與性別經驗。透過田野筆記及並訪談機構的工作人員，紀錄並呈現用運動做受暴少女培力的歷程與觀察，並重新思考規劃女性培力課程時也應有意識地去「突破刻板印象」的創新課程類型。
