Visualising Justice on Sexual Violence in Kenya: Stimulating inclusion, Peace and Public Engagement through the Creative Economy

该项目传播我们由人权理事会资助的GCRF“争取时间的权利”/“争取权利的时间”网络（AH/T008091/1）的研究成果，该网络是一个跨学科的跨部门研究网络，专注于人道主义保护研究，以实现经济、社会和政策影响。我们在肯尼亚的研究记录了幸存者在性暴力后所承受的累积伤害。该研究正在研究性暴力的性质，并改变收集证据的方式，以预防犯罪和更好地保护幸存者，从而实现可持续发展目标5和16。我们的分析表明，一些最持久的伤害与社会对性侵犯的看法有关——谁实施了性侵犯，谁可能成为受害者。研究结果挑战了伤害的危机观念，揭示了性暴力幸存者所遭受的伤害不仅来自犯罪本身，还来自法律和政策执行不力。至关重要的是，时间权利组织所记录的各种伤害并不是肯尼亚幸存者所特有的。在世界范围内，性犯罪很普遍，很少被报道，也很少被起诉。在英国，性侵犯案件的起诉率估计不到2%——这是向警方报告的性侵犯案件。通过研究获得的理论见解挑战了危害的危机概念，并适用于全球。为了改变幸存者的长期结果，我们需要开始分享通过我们的项目收集的数据。这个后续项目通过一个参与式纪录片项目传播我们的研究，旨在通过创意经济影响社会对性暴力和幸存者的看法。我们在这个项目中的非学术合作伙伴是肯尼亚性暴力幸存者网络和Wangu Kanja基金会。这个后续项目通过提高人们对我们的研究成果的认识，扩大了我们研究的影响，这些研究成果揭示了性暴力的现实以及幸存者所承受的累积创伤和伤害。这部参与性电影将为幸存者创造空间，让他们反思个人和集体的优势和关切。参与性方法的性质具有变革性，因为它是一种赋权形式，在消除压迫性信仰、标签、陈规定型观念和污名的同时促进信心的发展。影响活动增强了幸存者的权能，给予他们发声的机会，并在这样做的过程中，促进了公众如何看待犯罪和幸存者，以及当局如何处理这类犯罪的有意义的变化。这部参与性电影将记录幸存者因性暴力而在个人、社会和社区生活中遭受贬值和无能为力的经历，使肯尼亚的观众（即普通公众、决策者和责任承担者）和国际上的观众(例如，在英国，国家优先确定伙伴关系（这是一个全国性的幸存者网络）、FCDO、PSVI；政策制定者)获得新的见解。这部电影将描绘关于GBSV的信息，并参与创造性的故事叙述，以加深对观众的情感影响。后续项目还制定和实施了一项国际参与和传播计划，以覆盖肯尼亚和国际上的目标受众，并向国家和国际决策者和责任承受者传播“时代权利”的研究成果。时间权利组织拥有强大的国家和国际合作伙伴网络，这将成为一个重要的网络，我们可以通过它传播电影和支持它的时间权利研究。这些影响活动将提高对性暴力现实的认识，使幸存者参与时间权利研究的传播，提高公众对时间权利研究的认识，并最终减少性暴力事件。

This project disseminates research from our AHRC-funded GCRF Rights for Time/Time for Rights Network Plus (AH/T008091/1), which is an interdisciplinary intersectoral research network+ that is focused on humanitarian protection research for the purpose of achieving economic, social, and policy impacts. Our research in Kenya is documenting the cumulative harms that survivors endure in the aftermath of sexual violence. The research is studying the nature of sexual violence and changing the way that evidence is gathered to prevent crimes and better protect survivors, thereby addressing SDG5 and SDG16. What our analysis shows, is that some of the most lasting harms are connected to social perceptions of sexual assault-who perpetrates it, and who can be a victim. The research results challenge crisis notions of harm, revealing that sexual violence survivors endure harms from not only the crime itself, but also from the inadequate enforcement of law and policy. Crucially, the sorts of harms Rights for Time research has documented are not specific to survivors in Kenya. Around the world, sexual offenses are widespread, underreported, and seldomly prosecuted. In the UK, the prosecution rate of sexual assault cases is estimated to be less than 2%--and that is of the assaults reported to the police. The theoretical insights gained through the research challenge crisis notions of harm and are applicable globally. In order to change the long-term outcomes of the survivors, we need to begin sharing the data collected through our programs. This follow-on project disseminates our research via a participatory documentary film project that aims to impact social perceptions of sexual violence and survivors via the creative economy. Our nonacademic partners on the project are the Survivors of Sexual Violence in Kenya Network , and the Wangu Kanja Foundation. This follow-on project amplifies the impact of our research by increasing awareness about our research findings, which shed light on the realities of sexual violence and the cumulative trauma and harms that survivors endure. The participatory film will create space for survivors to reflect on their individual and collective strengths and concerns. The nature of the participatory approach is transformative because it functions as a form of empowerment, facilitating the development of confidence while eliminating oppressive beliefs, labels, stereotypes, and stigma. The impact activities empower survivors, giving them a voice, and in doing so, promote meaningful change in how the public perceives the crime and survivors, and how authorities address these types of offences. The participatory film will document survivors' experiences of devaluation and powerlessness in their personal, social, and community lives arising from sexual violence, allowing audiences in Kenya (i.e., the general public, policy makers and duty bearers), and internationally (e.g., in the UK, the National Priority Setting Partnership (which is a national network of survivors), the FCDO, PSVI; policy makers) to gain new insights. The film will portray information about GBSV and engage in creative storytelling to deepen the emotional impact on viewers. The follow-on project also develops and implements an international engagement and communications plan to reach targeted audiences in Kenya and internationally, and to disseminate the Rights for Times research findings to national and international policy makers and duty bearers. Rights for Time has a strong network of national and international partners that will serve as an important network through which we can disseminate the film and the Rights for Time research that underpins it. These impact activities will increase awareness about the realities of sexual violence, involve survivors in the dissemination of Rights for Time Research, raise public awareness about Rights for Time research, and ultimately, reduce sexual violence incidence.
