Investigating Sexual Harassment on Public Transportation in the NorthEast of England. A collaborative project with Rape Crisis Tyneside & Northumberla

越来越多的研究表明，女性很可能在公共交通工具上遭遇性骚扰(Allen和Vanderschuren，2016)。公共交通便利的社会和环境因素对犯罪者构成威胁(Lewis等人，2020年；Hutson和Krueger，2018年)，而更广泛的性别规范意味着妇女面临更大的风险(Westmarland，2015)。尽管国际研究表明，公共交通工具上的性骚扰是一个全球普遍存在的问题，但欧洲对这一现象的研究不足(Lewis等人，2020年)，英国的研究较少，而且从未在英格兰东北部进行过专门的研究。该项目旨在解决这一差距，首次侧重于性骚扰的性质、程度和对东北部妇女交通工具的影响。它提出并开发了一个创新的方法框架，该框架使用McGlynn&Westmarland(2019)的教育赋权方法(EEA)结合交叉性的见解，不仅揭示了西北部交通工具上公共性骚扰的范围和程度，而且还揭示了其交叉影响。通过与强奸犯罪组织泰恩赛德和纽卡斯尔的合作伙伴关系，该项目将建立一个新的基础，以便为政策制定和实践者对这一问题的反应提供信息，并为受害者-幸存者提供预防建议。

There is a growing body of research that shows women arelikely to experience sexual harassment on public transport(Allen and Vanderschuren, 2016). The social andenvironmental factors of public transport advantageperpetrators (Lewis et al, 2020; Hutson and Krueger, 2018)while broader gender norms mean that women are much moreat risk (Westmarland, 2015). Despite international researchshowing sexual harassment on public transport to be apervasive problem globally, the phenomenon is understudiedin Europe (Lewis et al, 2020), less studied in the UK, and hasnever been studied specifically in relation to the North East ofEngland. This project seeks to address this gap, focusing forthe first time on the nature, extent, and impacts of sexualharassment on transport for women in the North East. It drawson and develops an innovative methodological frame that usesMcGlynn & Westmarland's (2019) Educational EmpowermentApproach (EEA) combined with the insights of intersectionality,to uncover not only the range and extent of public sexualharassment on transport in the N.E. but also its intersectionalimpact. Through a collaborative partnership with Rape CrisisTyneside and Newcastle, this project will thus establish a newevidence base to inform policy and practitioner responses tothe problem, as well as providing victim-survivor informedrecommendations for prevention.
