The CARE Project: Building Sexual Violence Survivors' Capacity to Evidence and Research (C)rimes and (A)dvocate for Effective (Re)sponses

性暴力是一种持久的侵犯人权行为，其影响是实现联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）的主要障碍，特别是涉及性别平等和增强妇女权能的SDG 5。幸存者难以获得强奸后护理服务和起诉的情况极为罕见，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。数据缺乏、统计和技术能力薄弱，是内陆发展中国家可持续发展的主要障碍。拟议的二级数据分析将使决策者了解获得服务的障碍和病例流失情况。该数据集提供了有关内罗毕成人和儿童幸存者的经验的迫切需要的信息，这些幸存者从2016年至今试图获得强奸后护理服务。研究结果将使肯尼亚的强奸幸存者能够利用研究的见解来倡导政策变革，同时为其他中低收入国家提供可推广的见解。我们的愿景是通过这个项目展示如何创造性地使用二手数据分析来帮助肯尼亚和其他国家解决全球性暴力问题。我们的ESRC GCRF IAA赠款为我们进行这项研究做好了准备，并最终达成了一系列共同开发的研究目标和问题。我们的目标是进行二级数据分析，以提供高质量的有影响力的数据研究性暴力的性质，强奸后护理服务的差距，和案件的流失模式，并研究性暴力的健康和福祉的影响。我们的研究问题侧重于了解性暴力的性质，幸存者在获得强奸后护理服务（医疗，警察，法律的）时面临的障碍，以及为什么很少有案件被起诉的原因。我们还将建设世界森林论坛的能力，以便在收集新数据时更新其结果。将与决策者和其他利益攸关方讨论二级数据分析的结果。此外，二级数据分析项目将制定能力建设研究议程，以提高幸存者网络研究和记录性暴力案件的能力。该项目将与其他中低收入国家的强奸幸存者网络合作，分享结果，展示二级数据分析在提供重要见解以有效预防和应对性暴力方面的价值，帮助实现可持续发展目标5。

Sexual violence is an enduring human rights violation, and its effects are major obstacles to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG5, which concerns gender equality and the empowerment of women. Survivors struggle to access post rape care services and prosecutions are extremely rare, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The lack of data, and weak statistical and technical capacity, pose major obstacles to sustainable development in LMICs. The proposed secondary data analysis will inform policy makers about barriers to service access and case attrition. The dataset provides urgently needed information about the experiences of adult and child survivors in Nairobi who attempted to access post rape care services from 2016 to present day. The results will enable rape survivors in Kenya to use the insights from the research to advocate for policy change while providing generalisable insights for other LMICs. Our vision is to show, via this project, how secondary data analysis can be creatively used to help Kenya and other countries address the global issue of sexual violence. Our ESRC GCRF IAA grant has prepared us to undertake this research and it culminated in a series of co-developed research objectives and questions. Our objectives are to conduct the secondary data analysis to deliver high-quality impactful data research on the nature of sexual violence, post rape care service gaps, and case attrition patterns, and to study sexual violence health and well-being impacts. Our research questions focus on understanding the nature of sexual violence, the barriers survivors face in accessing post rape care services (medical, police, legal), and the reasons why so few cases are prosecuted. We will also build the capacity of the WKF to update their results as new data are collected. The findings of the secondary data analysis will be discussed with policy makers and other stakeholders. Further, the secondary data analysis project will develop a capacity building research agenda that improves the ability of the Survivors' Network to research and document sexual violence cases. The project will engage and partner with rape survivors' networks in other LMICs to share results and demonstrate the value of secondary data analysis in delivering important insights to effectively prevent and respond to sexual violence, helping to achieve SDG5.
