The true extent of lives destroyed and communities broken because of the growing human trafficking challenge in Kenya is not fully known. National policies are not being implemented and the complex impact on people, communities, economic development and conflict is not systematically documented. There are gaps in quantitative human trafficking data and not all victims are given victim status, further complicating the picture. This collaborative research between Leeds Beckett University (UK) and Haart Kenya responds to a limited window of opportunity for the development of new approaches to counter human trafficking interventions in Kenya, which depends upon timely collection and exploitation of experiential research data. By collecting data from victims and those at risk of human trafficking, this project will raise their voices through using empowering narrative research methods.Having already developed relationships with policy-makers, Haart are well positioned to advocate for change, but to have greater impact they need research data that can convey the complexity of trafficking streams and the impacts of trafficking on victims. Building on a track record of research in areas of violent conflict using arts and narrative, Leeds Beckett will support the data collection, capacity building and dissemination of results for policy influence. This research will use narrative inquiry to elicit experiential knowledge, engage multiple perspectives, and draw out meaning about the nature of harm and injustice in human trafficking. A locally hired researcher will work with Haart's local networks to collect stories and narratives from victims and those at risk. By applying narrative inquiry, the research findings will demonstrate the needs of victims and patterns in trafficking streams. To meet the needs of policy makers and influencers, the results will be disseminated through a range of media, including film, exhibition, a stakeholder forum, research reports and academic papers. The research will use an empowering research method which allows victims to control what they share and makes their voices heard. It will be embedded for longer term change and impact.As a result of this project the Kenyan MP's SDGS Caucus and other policy makers in Kenya will be more likely to effect rapid change and improvements in counter human trafficking policy; policy makers will be able to make better informed decisions about policy development related to preventing trafficking streams and meeting the needs of victims, and to respond to specific challenges; the stakeholder forum will use the research papers to work together on policy reform; Haart will expand and increase the effectiveness of the policy component of its work; and participants will understand how sharing their stories will lead to improving conditions and reduced risk for others in the future.

由于肯尼亚日益严重的人口贩运挑战，生命被摧毁和社区破裂的真实程度尚不完全清楚。国家政策没有得到执行，对人民、社区、经济发展和冲突的复杂影响没有系统记录。人口贩运的数量数据存在差距，并非所有受害者都获得受害者地位，这使情况进一步复杂化。利兹贝克特大学（英国）和Haart Kenya之间的这项合作研究响应了肯尼亚发展打击人口贩运干预措施的新方法的有限机会窗口，这取决于及时收集和利用经验研究数据。通过收集受害者和面临人口贩运风险的人的数据，该项目将通过赋权叙事研究方法提高他们的声音。由于已经与政策制定者建立了关系，Haart在倡导变革方面处于有利地位，但要产生更大的影响，他们需要能够传达贩运流复杂性和贩运对受害者影响的研究数据。利兹·贝克特利用艺术和叙事在暴力冲突领域的研究记录，将支持数据收集、能力建设和结果传播，以促进政策影响。本研究将使用叙述性调查来获取经验知识，涉及多个视角，并得出有关人口贩运中危害和不公正性质的意义。当地聘请的一名研究人员将与Haart的当地网络合作，从受害者和处于危险中的人那里收集故事和叙述。通过采用叙述性调查，研究结果将展示贩运流中受害者的需求和模式。为了满足政策制定者和有影响力的人的需要，研究结果将通过一系列媒体传播，包括电影、展览、利益相关者论坛、研究报告和学术论文。这项研究将采用一种赋权研究方法，使受害者能够控制自己分享的内容，并让自己的声音被听到。它将嵌入更长期的变化和影响。由于这个项目，肯尼亚议员的可持续发展目标核心小组和肯尼亚的其他决策者将更有可能迅速改变和改善打击人口贩运的政策；决策者将能够在与防止贩运流和满足受害者需求有关的政策制定方面做出更明智的决定，并应对具体挑战；利益攸关方论坛将利用这些研究论文共同开展政策改革；哈特将扩大和提高其工作的政策部分的效力；参与者将了解分享他们的故事将如何在未来改善他人的状况并降低风险。
