lines for soaps, we hope this will make you more aware of how media coverage may affect survivors. Media coverage often focuses on celebrities or abuse in institutional settings, but the majority of people are abused by a relative or somebody known to them." (Page 2)

ored to meet the needs of key audiences and stakeholders, and provision should be made for the program to continually reflect and learn from experiences gained during implementation. Measuring the success of peacebuilding programs poses specific challenges that are unique to this program area. This module was developed to guide PEACE III local program partners—peacebuilding practitioners—through the development and implementation of effective and practical MERL systems for their projects. This five-year cross-border peacebuilding program is implemented by Pact in partnership with Mercy Corps and a range of local partners with activities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Uganda. PEACE III aims to strengthen cross-border conflict management in the Horn of Africa and is pursuing two related objectives: 1) to strengthen local cross-border conflict management and 2) to improve the responsiveness of regional and national institutions to cross-border conflict. This manual was created to support and provide examples to peacebuilding practitioners and is an addition to Pact’s existing MERL Modules. Other useful examples of MERL training manuals for peacebuilding programs exist. This module does not seek to replicate those manuals, but rather draws on them and integrates their expertise here. Parts of this manual were also drawn from Pact’s MERL Modules but customized with practices and examples relevant for peacebuilding programs. It is the authors’ hope that this module can serve as an introduction to MERL for peacebuilding practitioners and can point them to other relevant resources in the field. Each begins with an outline of the learning objectives, includes learning activities throughout the chapters, and ends with a summary of key points and learning." (Introduction)

Im dritten Teil schließlich werden Tipps für die Bildrecherche gegeben, das Diversitätsrad als Mittel für einen Schnellcheck vorgestellt und die wichtigsten Punkte in Kürze zusammengefasst. Der Fokus dieser Handlungsempfehlungen liegt auf Bildern. In den nächsten Jahren wird das Gleichstellungsbüro der Goethe-Universität weiterhin einen Leitfaden erarbeiten, der sich mit (Text-)Sprache beschäftigt. Um Zusammenhänge zu verdeutlichen, wurden zahlreiche Fotos und andere Bilder als Anschauungsmaterial verwendet. Bilder, die – im Zuge des Fokus, den das jeweilige Kapitel setzt – als Positivbeispiele dienen, sind mit einem dunkelgrauen Balken und einem Häkchen gekennzeichnet. Für Fotos, die aus der Perspektive des Schwerpunktes eines Kapitels kritisch zu betrachten sind, wurde ein hellgrauer Grund benutzt. Dies bedeutet nicht, dass diese Fotos per se schlecht sind, sondern nur, dass sie in dem besprochenen Kontext für sich alleine oder in Kombination mit anderen Bildern als negativ zu betrachtende Schlussfolgerungen nahelegen."
