Time for Rights/Rights for Time: Responding to the times of violence, conflict, and displacement

人道主义政策和实践是由危机的紧迫性和紧迫性所驱动的。但在长期冲突和流离失所的情况下，往往是随着时间的推移而发生的隐性损害为未来的暴力、变革和可能的和平奠定了基础，保护的主要障碍之一是未能衡量和确定目前在政策、法律和当地环境中对外部行为者来说并不明显的需求和问题。仅对"最近"的虐待或威胁作出反应的援助和保护不仅无法理解伤害的性质，而且限制了可能解决办法的可持续性。揭露时间和隐藏的损害的层次将揭示最脆弱和被剥夺权利的人的具体需求。暴力、流离失所和代际创伤的多重、多层次、甚至同时发生的经历会持续到后代，带来新的挑战，阻碍变革。我们的主要目标是什么？时间的权利/时间的权利网络+（R4T+）将共同创建一个研究网络+，支持并提供对时间如何影响战争、流离失所和暴力的新理解，并改变人道主义保护和人权行动的可能性和框架。我们将做什么？我们将通过建立一个网络来应对这些挑战，该网络鼓励和支持跨学科、同行、基于案例的研究，汇集来自5个DAC名单国家的6个国内合作伙伴，包括卢旺达、黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、约旦和肯尼亚，以及来自艺术和人文、心理学、医学人类学、难民研究、性别研究、人权、过渡时期司法、人道主义法、保护政策。我们选择在长期暴力造成持久和棘手挑战的具体环境中开展工作，特别是对难民、流离失所者、妇女和儿童等弱势社区和群体。我们将发展"争取时间的权利"的概念，以建立一个网络+，将冲突的隐藏遗产直接纳入人道主义保护、人权政策和实践。来自伯明翰大学、KCL大学、SOAS大学、Taghyeer大学（约旦）和黎巴嫩美国大学的共同研究者将与6个项目合作伙伴合作建立网络+。合作伙伴包括Wangu Kanju基金会、我们爱阅读、BLAST、非洲人类进步倡议和基加利摄影中心。我们将开始进行一系列初步案例研究。随着网络的发展，这些信息将为我们在重点国家以及其他DAC名单国家委托的研究项目提供信息。这些项目将产生新的证据基础，影响基层社区，并制定新的政策和做法，使长期暴力造成的伤害形式在地方、国家和国际各级具有文化上的可见性。这样，伙伴国家将拥有必要的工具和更强的能力，为受冲突和暴力影响最严重的人，特别是弱势群体，如难民、非正规住区居民、妇女、儿童、老人和"赤贫"者制定有效的保护解决方案。该网络将：-资助和支持研究项目，以解决保护弱势社区和长期暴力问题;-开展一系列活动，为弱势社区在实地和政策上创造变化，例如通过讲习班、研究峰会、专门网站和社交媒体;-建设合作伙伴和学术界的能力，以通过培训充分发挥其潜力;- 使用创造性的方式与人交往，特别是那些经常错过的人。

Humanitarian policy and practice are driven by the immediacy of crisis and urgency. But in contexts of protracted conflict and displacement, it is often the hidden damage that takes place over time that sets the terms for future violence, change, and possible peace.One of the major stumbling-blocks to protection is the failure to measure and identify needs and problems not currently obvious to external actors in policy, law, and local contexts. Aid and protection that reacts to only the most 'recent' abuse or threat not only fails to understand the nature of injury, but limits the sustainability of possible solutions. Uncovering layers of time and hidden damage will reveal the specific needs of the most vulnerable and disenfranchised. Multiple, layered and even simultaneous experiences of violence, displacement, and generational trauma persist into future generations, creating new challenges and blocking change.What is our main aim?The Rights for Time/Time for Rights Network Plus (R4T+) will co-create a research network+ that supports and delivers a new understanding of how time conditions war, displacement, and violence, and shifts the possibilities and frame of action for humanitarian protection and human rights.What will we do?We will meet these challenges by developing a network that stimulates and supports interdisciplinary, peer-peer, case-based research, drawing together 6 in-country partners from 5 DAC-list countries, including Rwanda, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Kenya, and academic experts from the arts and humanities, psychology, medical anthropology, refugee studies, gender studies, human rights, transitional justice, humanitarian law, and protection policy. We have chosen to work both within and across specific contexts where the long periods of violence produce enduring and intractable challenges, particularly for vulnerable communities and groups, such as refugees, people who have been displaced, women, and children. We will develop the concept of 'Rights for Time' to build a network+ that can bring the hidden legacies of conflict directly into humanitarian protection, and human rights policy and practice.What will the network+ look like?Co-Investigators based at the universities of Birmingham, KCL, SOAS, Taghyeer (Jordan) and the Lebanese American University will work with 6 Project Partners to establish the Network+. Partners include the Wangu Kanju Foundation, We Love Reading, BLAST, the African Initiative for Mankind Progress and the Kigali Center for Photography. We will begin by piloting a series of initial case studies. These will inform the research projects we will commission in our countries of focus as well as in other DAC-list countries as the network grows. The projects will generate new evidence bases, impact communities at the ground level, and develop new policy and practice to make the forms of injury of protracted violence culturally visible at local, national and international levels. In doing so, partner countries will have the necessary tools and an increased ability to develop effective protection solutions for those most affected by conflict and violence, especially vulnerable groups, such as refugees, people living in informal settlements, women, children, the elderly, and those in 'extreme poverty'.How will this be done? The network will:- Fund and support research projects that address protection and the long times of violence for vulnerable communities;- Undertake a range of activities that create change on the ground and in policy for vulnerable communities, such as through workshops, a Research Summit, a dedicated website and social media;- Build the capacity of partners and academics to fully reach their potential via training;- Use creative ways of engaging with people, particularly those who usually miss out.
