Since it is difficult to express a dissenting view, it is the responsibility of the group to facilitate this process. It is not necessary for every member to be present whenever a decision is made. Consensus is reached by individuals at the time an issue is discussed. However, if the decision being made directly affects members of the group who are not present, the decision needs to be considered only as a proposal until all individuals who are directly affected are brought into the discussion. Those present for the discussion are responsible for sharing with those not present the full range of factors considered by the group.
Feminist process is a powerful tool for transformation.
Radical changes can emerge when this process becomes an important dimension in decision making. The urgency of making decisions lessens and people come to value the wisdom of the process.
