Abstract:
Sexual violence against men has been significantly overlooked, and under-researched, with minimal attention paid to the influence of culture and ethnicity on survivors\' experiences of abuse. This rapid review examines prevalence, disclosure, help-seeking, and criminal justice experiences of Black and Asian male survivors in the United Kingdom. Eight empirical studies published since 2003 involving Black and Asian sexual violence survivors were included through comprehensive database searches, including gray literature and reference lists. Findings suggest prevalence data underestimate the true extent of victimization in ethnic minority groups in the United Kingdom. Barriers to disclosure and help-seeking were associated with specific cultural factors unique to Black and Asian male experiences, as revealed by three qualitative studies. However, accessing and reporting to the criminal justice system remains largely unexplored for Black and Asian male survivors. Methodological limitations within existing studies emphasize the urgent need for substantial, high-quality research that addresses issues with inconsistent definitions, measurements, and lack of ethnic-specific approaches across prevalence, disclosure, help-seeking, and criminal justice experiences. Culturally informed professional training emerges as a critical requirement to sensitively address the unique challenges faced by ethnic minority male survivors. Additionally, targeted outreach initiatives hold the potential to engage minority male survivors more effectively. A collaborative, system-wide approach is vital to bring to the forefront the overlooked experiences of ethnic minority males, thereby promoting an environment of support, understanding, and recovery.
摘要:
针对男性的性暴力被大大忽视,研究不足,很少注意文化和种族对幸存者遭受虐待的影响。这项快速审查检查了患病率,披露,寻求帮助,以及英国黑人和亚洲男性幸存者的刑事司法经验。通过全面的数据库搜索,纳入了自2003年以来发表的涉及黑人和亚洲性暴力幸存者的八项实证研究,包括灰色文献和参考列表。研究结果表明,患病率数据低估了英国少数民族受害的真实程度。披露和寻求帮助的障碍与黑人和亚洲男性经历特有的特定文化因素有关,正如三项定性研究所揭示的那样。然而,对于黑人和亚裔男性幸存者来说,进入刑事司法系统并向其报告在很大程度上仍未探索。现有研究中的方法局限性强调迫切需要大量的,高质量的研究,解决定义不一致的问题,测量,以及缺乏跨流行率的特定种族方法,披露,寻求帮助,刑事司法经验。文化知情的专业培训成为敏感地应对少数民族男性幸存者面临的独特挑战的关键要求。此外,有针对性的外展活动有可能更有效地吸引少数族裔男性幸存者。合作,全系统的方法对于将少数民族男性被忽视的经历放在首位至关重要,从而促进支持环境,理解,和恢复。
