The immobilities of gender-based violence in the Covid-19 pandemic

新冠肺炎危机的一个特别令人担忧的后果是据报道国内虐待行为激增。这一跨学科项目寻求对家庭暴力与基于性别的暴力(GBV)和不动之间的关系的理解，以便产生可转化为政策的见解。它通过创作和分析个人故事来做到这一点，这些故事详细描述了英国政府在新冠肺炎危机不同阶段的经历。新冠肺炎的封锁使人们的注意力集中在家庭暴力及其与受限手机的关系上。在GBV的框架内理解家庭暴力让我们能够看到多个被重新配置的感受到的暴力网站。至关重要的是，我们必须在这些重新定义的空间中理解和深思熟虑基于性别的暴力，以便在当前和以后的危机中加强对家庭暴力和其他基于性别的暴力的政策回应。这项研究通过分析GBV的已讲和未讲的故事与不动的复杂相互依赖关系来做到这一点。该项目调查了在新冠肺炎大流行的背景下，即时/移动如何引发感受到和体验到的性别暴力，以及有形体验如何位于移动空间--室内、外部和在线--。该项目结合了对现有故事的分析(已经在公共领域)，并在创意写作咖啡馆的支持下，指导原创生活写作，以开发一种自我人种学的形式，重视对GBV在流行病不同阶段的经历的叙述性描述，并揭示不平等现象。这些故事将通过学术成果作为关键研究的一部分加以重视，并作为与政策制定者和专业人员的在线对话的基础，以期产生切实的政策建议。

One particularly concerning consequence of the Covid-19 crisis is the reported surge in domesticabuse. This transdisciplinary project seeks to produce understandings of domestic violence inrelation to gender-based violence (GBV) and immobilities in order to produce insights that can beconverted to policy. It does so through the creation and analysis of personal stories detailingexperiences of GBV across the UK at different stages in the Covid-19 crisis. The Covid-19 lockdownhas focused attention on domestic violence and its relationship to constrained mobilities.Understanding domestic abuse within the frame of GBV allows us to look across the multiple sitesof felt violence that have been reconfigured. It is critical that we understand and deliberate GBV inthese redefined spaces in order to invigorate policy responses to domestic abuse and other GBVwithin the current crisis and beyond. This research does so through the analysis of told and untoldstories of GBV in relation to the complex interdependencies of immobilities. The projectinvestigates how im/mobilities precipitate gendered violence, both felt and experienced and howembodied experiences become situated in mobile spaces - inside, outside and online - in thecontext of the Covid-19 pandemic. The project combines analysis of existing stories (in the publicdomain already) with directed original life writing, supported in creative writing cafes, to develop aform of autoethnography that values narrative accounts of experiences of GBV at different stagesof the pandemic and reveals inequalities. These stories will be valued as part of the criticalresearch through academic outputs as well underpinning online conversations with policymakersand professionals with a view to producing tangible policy recommendations.
