项目摘要

Our partnership brings together medical experts, poets, civil society organisations, and feminist activists working on GBV in the UK and across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia to develop a narrative storytelling approach to gender-based violence (GBV) against women in high prevalence settings. Setting that have a high prevalence of GBV (where over 50% of women experience violence in their lifetime) are often countries or regions where GBV is publicly accepted as a normal part of women's everyday lives and condoned by state inaction. This is the case in the regions and countries included in our proposal, namely: Afghanistan, Kashmir (India), Tunisia, Kurdistan (Iraq), and Turkey. Storytelling is widely used as a means of personal expression in response to violence in these contexts, drawing on their shared socio-cultural origins as ancient Persian societies. Our collaboration draws on this shared history and the cultural importance of storytelling to develop a culturally-relevant intervention for women experiencing gender-based violence. We do this through four main activities: (1) collaboratively designing a potential storytelling intervention based on our team's diverse expertise from the medical sciences (psychiatry, psychology) and the humanities (humanitarian ethics, gender and women's studies, literature studies, poetry); (2) tailoring and piloting the intervention with women residing in safe houses in Kurdistan (Iraq); (3) developing an online networking tool to foster collaborations related to the pilot study and build future project ideas; and (4) creating a collection of stories based on women's accounts to reach a broad national and international audience to effect social change. This is an innovative approach to creating a culturally-relevant intervention to address the mental health needs of women experiencing GBV in high prevalence settings and will ideally challenge discourses that accept violence in the lives of women as part of a broader project of social change.

我们的合作伙伴关系汇集了医学专家，诗人，民间社会组织和女权主义者在英国的GBV工作以及中东，北非和亚洲工作的，以开发一种叙事讲故事的方法，以实现性别的暴力（GBV）（GBV）针对高流行环境中的妇女。 GBV患病率很高的环境（超过50％的妇女在其一生中遭受暴力行为）通常是GBV被公开接受为妇女日常生活的正常部分并受到州立无所作为的国家。在我们的提案中包括的地区和国家是这种情况：阿富汗，克什米尔（印度），突尼斯，库尔德斯坦（伊拉克）和土耳其。讲故事被广泛用作对这些背景下暴力的个人表达的一种手段，借鉴了他们作为古代波斯社会的共同社会文化起源。我们的合作借鉴了这一共同的历史以及讲故事的文化重要性，即为经历基于性别的暴力的妇女开发与文化相关的干预措施。我们通过四个主要活动来做到这一点：（1）基于我们团队的多元化专业知识（精神病学，心理学）和人文科学（人道主义伦理学，性别和妇女研究，文学研究，诗歌），协作设计潜在的讲故事干预措施；（2）调整和试行居住在库尔德斯坦安全房屋的妇女（伊拉克）的干预措施；（3）开发一种在线网络工具，以促进与试点研究相关的合作并建立未来的项目思想；（4）根据妇女的帐户创建一系列故事，以吸引广泛的国家和国际观众以实现社会变革。这是一种创新的方法，可以创建与文化相关的干预措施，以解决在高流行率环境中经历GBV的妇女的心理健康需求，理想情况下将挑战接受妇女生活中暴力的话语，这是社会变革更广泛的项目的一部分。
