RAMPDOWN: Redressing Abuse by Migrant Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse on Women Now

移民妇女遭受基于性别的暴力的比率很高，肇事者利用她们岌岌可危的移民地位，让她们在没有寻求帮助的情况下忍受家庭暴力。然而，很少有公开辩论或从业者与外来务工人员接触。虽然欧盟性别平等战略提请注意男子、男孩和男子气概在预防基于性别的暴力方面的作用，但它呼吁对男性施暴者采取整体干预措施，却没有询问交叉性、种族歧视和文化特殊性之间的相关性。英国对移民妇女的保障措施有限，英国在没有批准承诺纠正对移民妇女歧视的伊斯坦布尔公约的情况下离开了欧盟。这项研究询问了英国讲土耳其语的男性是如何参与促进性别主流化和性别平等的干预措施的，重点是对肇事者的干预措施与讲土耳其语的少数民族经历的交叉劣势之间是否存在文化错配。通过一个以犯罪者干预标准为基准的非政府组织Placement at Report，该项目将有助于制定在社区和刑事司法背景下预防基于性别的暴力的文化知情对策。将采用心理社会方法来捕捉肇事者叙述的代理方面，揭示男子气概和暴力之间的联系，以及这些联系如何在他们经常使用的理由中得到证明。这项研究将为认识到移民、歧视和边缘化的影响的干预方案提供信息，同时仍然追究肇事者的责任，并要求他们减少使用暴力。该项目建立在项目合作伙伴之间长期合作的基础上，合作伙伴将支持这位研究员解决一个紧迫的政策问题，并与国际网络一起探索解决这个问题的答案，以改善移徙妇女和儿童的安全。

Migrant women suffer high rates of gender-based violence, perpetrators exploiting their precarious immigration status to make them endure domestic abuse without seeking help. Yet there is little public debate or practitioner engagement with migrant men. While the EU Gender Equality Strategy draws attention to men, boys and masculinities in the prevention of gender-based violence, its call for holistic interventions with male perpetrators falls short of interrogating the relevance of intersectionality, racial discrimination and cultural specificity. Safeguards for migrant women are limited in the UK, which left the EU without ratifying the Istanbul Convention committed to redressing discrimination against migrant women. This study interrogates how Turkish-speaking men in the UK are engaged in interventions promoting gender mainstreaming and gender equality and focuses on whether there is a cultural mismatch between interventions for perpetrators and the intersectional disadvantages Turkish-speaking minorities experience. Through a placement at Respect, an NGO that benchmarks standards for perpetrator interventions, the project will contribute to the development of culturally informed responses to the prevention of gender-based violence in community and criminal justice contexts. The psychosocial approach will be adopted to capture the agentic aspects of perpetrators' narratives, revealing the link between masculinity and violence, and how these are evidenced in the justifications they often deploy. The study will inform intervention programmes recognising the impact of migration, discrimination and marginalisation, while still holding perpetrators accountable and requiring them to ramp down their use of violence. The project builds on longstanding collaborations between the project partners, who will support the fellow to address a pressing policy question and explore answers to it with international networks to improve the safety of migrant women and children.
