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.

该项目将我们的AHRC资助的GCRF权利传播了权利网络Plus（AH/T008091/1）的研究，这是一个跨学科的层间研究网络+，侧重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遭受的累积危害。该研究是研究性暴力的性质，并改变了收集证据以防止犯罪和更好地保护幸存者的方式，从而解决了SDG5和SDG16。我们的分析表明，一些最持久的危害与对性侵犯的社会看法有关，他犯下了这一侵犯，谁可以成为受害者。研究结果挑战了危机危害概念，表明性暴力幸存者不仅遭受犯罪本身的伤害，而且遭受了法律和政策不足的危害。至关重要的是，时间研究的各种危害权利并非特定于肯尼亚的幸存者。在世界范围内，性犯罪是广泛的，报道不足的，很少受到起诉。在英国，性侵犯案件的起诉率估计少于2％，这就是向警方报告的袭击。通过研究挑战危机危害概念获得的理论见解，在全球范围内适用。为了改变幸存者的长期成果，我们需要开始通过计划共享收集的数据。这个后续项目通过参与式纪录片项目传播了我们的研究，旨在通过创造性经济影响对性暴力和幸存者的社会看法。我们在该项目上的非学术合作伙伴是肯尼亚网络中性暴力的幸存者和Wangu汉字基金会。这个后续项目通过提高对我们的研究发现的认识来扩大我们的研究的影响，这揭示了幸存者忍受的性暴力的现实以及累积的创伤和危害。参与式电影将为幸存者创造空间，以反思其个人和集体的优势和关注。参与方法的性质是变革性的，因为它是授权的一种形式，促进了信心的发展，同时消除了压迫性信念，标签，刻板印象和污名。影响活动赋予了幸存者的能力，使他们发表了声音，并为此促进了公众对犯罪和幸存者的看法以及当局如何解决这类罪行的有意义的变化。这部参与性电影将记录幸存者在其个人，社会和社区生活中的贬值和无能为力的经历，这是由于性暴力而引起的，允许肯尼亚的观众（即公众，公众，政策制定者和责任承担者），以及在英国（例如，在英国，在英国，国家的优先事项，是一个全国性的合作伙伴），是新的政策群体，即FCO; PSV;这部电影将描绘有关GBSV的信息，并进行创造性的讲故事，以加深对观众的情感影响。后续项目还制定并实施了国际参与和沟通计划，以吸引肯尼亚和国际的有针对性的受众，并向国民和国际政策制定者和值班承担者传播时代研究结果的权利。时间的权利具有强大的国家和国际合作伙伴网络，将作为一个重要的网络，通过该网络，我们可以通过该网络传播电影和时间研究的权利。这些影响活动将提高人们对性暴力现实的认识，使幸存者参与时间研究权利的传播，提高公众对时间研究权利的认识，并最终减少性暴力发生率。
