Aim:

To improve awareness and responses when working with minoritised women who have experienced sexual violence

Objectives:

· Provide an overview of Reclaiming Voice and its research findings on the impact of sexual violence for minoritised women

· Introduce local sexual violence services and their referral pathways, with a focus on minoritised survivor help-seeking and disclosure

Reclaiming Voice

Ravi Thiara is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick and was previously Director of a dedicated research centre on violence against women and children at the university. She has conducted pioneering national and international research in this area over the last three decades and also been involved in policy and practice development. Ravi has a particular expertise in gendered violence against those in marginalised and racialised communities (ethnicity and disability) and continues to work for change for women and children.

The presentation will draw on the findings from the first national study of sexual violence and minoritised women – Reclaiming Voice – conducted in collaboration with Imkaan (Sumanta Roy), a second-tier organisation of minoritised ‘by and for’ organisations. The research explored sexual violence and its impact on wellbeing, disclosure patterns and help-seeking, and the responses minoritised survivors receive when they approach support services.
