Abstract:
Increased concern was raised globally at the outbreak of COVID-19 that victims of domestic violence would be even more at risk when isolated with a violent partner and out of reach of support due to restrictions. Swedish staff in violence against women services prepared for increased calls for help. Instead, a worrying silence arose in a time and place of high uncertainty. This article analyzes the narratology of risk, when staff members in violence against women services, reflect upon their accounts, responses, and experiences, during the pandemic. The analysis is based on three themes, accounting for expected increased influx, making sense of silence and accounting for mobilization. The findings are discussed by applying the relational theory of risk.
摘要:
在COVID-19的爆发中,全球引起了越来越多的关注,即家庭暴力的受害者在与暴力伴侣隔离并且由于限制而无法获得支持时,将面临更大的风险。从事暴力侵害妇女服务的瑞典工作人员为更多的求助呼吁做好了准备。相反,在高度不确定的时间和地点出现了令人担忧的沉默。本文分析了风险叙事学,当工作人员从事暴力侵害妇女行为时,反思他们的账目,回应,和经验,在大流行期间。分析基于三个主题,考虑到预期的流入增加,沉默和动员的意义。通过应用风险的关系理论对研究结果进行了讨论。
