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

拟议的网络将通过将跨学科研究人员与社区和外部伙伴联系起来，解决残疾人面临的最重大的全球挑战之一，使网络能够重新构思这一问题及其解决方案。我们将促进多样化的声音，以激发、扰乱和挑战已有的思维，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的独联体和跨性别妇女的影响不成比例。它阻碍他们参与社会，造成羞耻、耻辱和恐惧。这对他们健康地生活和公平地获得卫生服务的能力造成了障碍。此外，卫生和社会护理人员的态度可能意味着，在报告性暴力或家庭暴力时，残疾妇女不会被相信。他们的证词可能会受到质疑，或者他们会因为残疾女性没有性行为的假设而沉默，对于性健康和福祉的话题的讨论被关闭--有效地审查了她们举报暴力的能力。在发展政策和服务委托一级，变化缓慢，公共卫生干预措施和性健康和生殖健康服务往往在委托时不考虑残疾妇女的需要。世卫组织等关键的全球组织一再呼吁改变，但它们没有实现解决这一重大健康不平等所需的紧急改变。改变话题，重新想象问题，重新构思解决方案，变得越来越重要。拟议中的网络将实现这一点。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体验。该网络将探索创新对策，通过艺术和人文方法和干预措施改善残疾人包容性。该网络将面对面地会面一次，就如何以包容的方式合作、建立沟通偏好和安全行为达成一致。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主持人的类型。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。然后我们将在网上会面，每次会议都由与该网络相关的专业知识的人主持。促进者将来自不同的背景，包括社区从业者，将艺术和人文与残疾妇女一起使用，残疾人组织的代表将处理医疗工作人员中的耻辱和禁忌，以及多边组织的代表，他们谈判在国际层面上对变革的政治承诺，反映艺术和人文方法如何有助于在其信息中改变变革的步伐。然后，该网络将思考每个演讲者的工作所带来的实际和理论挑战，确定任何未来拨款申请的研究问题。我们将通过社交媒体和我们的网络网站来交流网络的进展。在剩下的项目时间里，我们将讨论我们范围界定审查的结果(创建第1条)，写下我们对通过艺术和人文方法将残疾纳入SRH的理论挑战的思考(第2条)。我们将创建我们的指导和工具包，并计划我们的网络研讨会。网络研讨会将与广大受众分享该网络的经验，并与利益攸关方就这一主题展开辩论。我们还将就网络的下一步行动达成一致，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.
