Changing the pace of change: Disability inclusion in development responses to sexual violence for women with disabilities through arts & humanities

拟议中的网络将通过将跨学科研究人员与社区和外部合作伙伴联系起来，使网络能够重新定义问题及其解决方案，从而解决残疾人面临的最重要的全球挑战之一。我们将促进多样化的声音，以激发、颠覆和挑战既有思维，并创造机会，在艺术和人文方法方面进行有意义的创新，以应对针对残疾妇女的性暴力和家庭暴力。性暴力和家庭暴力对残疾顺性和变性妇女的影响尤为严重。它阻碍她们参与社会，制造羞耻、污名和恐惧。它对他们健康生活和公平获得保健服务的能力造成障碍。此外，保健和社会护理工作人员的态度可能意味着残疾妇女在报告性暴力或家庭暴力时不被相信。她们的证词可能会受到质疑，或者因为认为残疾妇女在性方面不活跃而使她们噤声，有关性健康和性健康的讨论也被禁止——这实际上限制了她们报告暴力行为的能力。在发展政策和服务委托层面，变化缓慢，公共卫生干预措施以及性健康和生殖健康服务的委托往往没有考虑残疾妇女的需求。世卫组织等主要全球组织多次发出变革呼吁，但这些呼吁未能实现解决这一重大卫生不平等问题所需的紧迫变革。改变话题、重新设想问题、重新构思解决方案正变得越来越重要。拟议中的网络将完全做到这一点。它将汇集学术界、非政府组织和多边组织、残疾人组织和倡导者的代表。每个人都会带来不同的视角和生活经历。该网络将探索创新对策，通过艺术和人文学科的方法和干预措施改善残疾人包容。该网络将举行一次面对面会议，商定如何包容地共同工作，建立通信偏好和安全行为。我们将决定如何对证据进行范围审查，以及我们希望参加会议的调解人的类型。我们将确定一个利益相关者网络，我们将通过我们的社交媒体战略与他们展开讨论。然后，我们将在网上召开会议，每次会议由与网络相关的专业人员主持。主持人将来自各种不同的背景，包括社区从业人员，利用艺术和人文学科与残疾妇女打交道，残疾人组织的代表解决医疗保健工作人员的耻辱和禁忌问题，多边组织的代表在国际一级谈判政治承诺的变革，反映艺术和人文方法如何有助于在其信息传递中改变变革的步伐。然后，该网络将反思每位演讲者的工作提出的实践和理论挑战，确定未来资助申请的任何研究问题。我们将通过社交媒体和我们的网络网站来传达网络的进展情况。在剩下的项目时间里，我们将讨论我们的范围审查结果（创建第1条），并通过艺术和人文方法（第2条）写下我们对在性健康和生殖健康中纳入残疾的理论挑战的思考。我们将创建我们的指南和工具包，并计划我们的网络研讨会。网络研讨会将与广大观众分享网络学习成果，并与利益相关者就这一主题展开辩论。我们还将就该网络的下一步发展达成一致，以进一步发展我们的合作。

The proposed network will tackle one of the most significant global challenges facing people with disabilities by connecting interdisciplinary researchers with communities and external partners allowing the network to reconceptualize the problem and its solutions. We will promote a diversity of voices in order to provoke, disrupt and challenge received thinking and create opportunities for meaningful innovation in arts and humanities methods to respond to sexual and domestic violence against women with disabilities. Sexual and domestic violence disproportionately affect cis and trans women with disabilities. It inhibits their participation in society, creating shame, stigma and fear. It creates barriers to their ability to live in good health and to equitably access health services. Furthermore, health and social care staff attitudes can mean women with disabilities are not believed when reporting sexual or domestic violence. Their testimonies can be questioned, or they are silenced by the assumption women with disabilities are not sexually active and discussion of topics around sexual health and wellbeing are shut down - effectively censoring their ability to report violence. At development policy and service commissioning levels, change is slow and public health interventions and sexual & reproductive health services are often commissioned without considering the needs of women with disabilities. Appeals for change have been repeatedly made by key global organizations like WHO but they do not achieve the urgent change needed to address this significant health inequality. It is becoming increasingly important to shift the conversation, reimagine the problem and reconceptualize the solutions. The proposed network will do exactly this. It will bring together representatives of academia, non-governmental and multilateral organisations, organisations of persons with disabilities and advocates. Each individual will bring a different perspective and lived experience. The network will explore innovative responses to improve disability inclusion through arts and humanities methods and interventions. The network will meet once face-to-face to agree how to work together inclusively, establishing communication preferences and safe conduct. We will decide how we will conduct our scoping review of evidence and the types of facilitators we would like to join our meetings. We will identify a network of stakeholders who we will open discussion with through our social media strategy. We will then meet online, with each meeting facilitated by someone whose expertise is relevant to the Network. Facilitators will come from a variety of backgrounds including community practitioners, using arts and humanities with women with disabilities, representatives of organisations of persons with disabilities addressing stigma and taboos in healthcare staff and representatives of multilateral organisations negotiating political commitment to change at an international level, reflecting on how arts and humanities methods may be useful to change the pace of change within their messaging. The Network will then reflect on the practical and theoretical challenges each presenters' work poses, identifying any research questions for future grant applications. We will communicate progress of the network through social media and our network website. In the remaining project time we will discuss the findings of our scoping review (creating Article 1), write up our reflections on the theoretical challenges of disability inclusion in SRH through arts and humanities methods (for Article 2). We will create our Guidance and Toolkit and plan our webinar. The webinar will share the learning of the network with a wide audience and open up debate with stakeholders on this topic. We will also agree the next steps of the network to further develop our collaboration.
