为了应对殖民主义的持续遗产,人们越来越认识到需要对各个研究和实践领域进行非殖民化,包括关于暴力侵害妇女和女童的工作(VAWG)。新兴的文学作品批评了VAWG的框架,作为白色救世主旅游的一部分,如何对社区实施预防和应对干预措施,以及数据收集的分层方法的存在,分析和解释。此范围审查是首次描述VAWG研究和编程中有关殖民主义和非殖民化的全球已发表和灰色文献的尝试。我们在数据库和搜索引擎中进行了广泛的搜索,包括研究,reports,评论和博客,并确定了55个来源,这些来源侧重于VAWG,并与实地殖民主义和/或非殖民化方法的遗产有关。包括文献讨论了殖民主义在塑造VAWG中的作用,参考了应对VAWG的非殖民化方法,并确定了VAWG研究和实践的五项关键建议:1。考虑发生VAWG的上下文和功率层次结构;2.将社区资源和观点纳入结束VAWG的努力;3.使用方法和方法来研究VAWG,以社区的观点和生活经验为中心;4.将VAWG的资金转移到当地行为者,并确保VAWG的资金流更符合当地的需求和现实;和5。确保当地,与上下文相关的女权主义框架为VAWG的非殖民化提供了信息。我们得出的结论是,转向自下而上的方法来实现VAWG的非殖民化研究和编程对于防止非殖民化沦为流行语至关重要。虽然文献探讨了使用特定的方法来对VAWG进行非殖民化研究,研究人员需要更广泛的策略来在整个研究过程中嵌入非殖民化的观点,超越单纯的方法论适应。VAWG研究和规划需要审查结构不平等,特别承认在更广泛的社会权力结构中根深蒂固的殖民做法如何影响VAWG领域。
In response to continuing legacies of
colonialism, there is increasing recognition of the need to decolonise various fields of research and practice, including within work on violence against women and girls (VAWG). An emerging body of literature critiques how VAWG is framed, how prevention and response interventions may be imposed on communities as part of White Saviourism, and the existence of hierarchical approaches to data collection, analysis and interpretation. This scoping review is the first known attempt to describe global published and grey literature on
colonialism and decolonisation within VAWG research and programming. We conducted an extensive search across databases and search engines including research studies, reports, commentaries and blogs, and identified 55 sources that focused on VAWG and related to the legacy of
colonialism and/or decolonial approaches within the field. Included literature discussed the role of
colonialism in shaping VAWG, referenced decolonial approaches to respond to VAWG and identified five key recommendations for VAWG research and practice: 1. Consider the context and power hierarchies within which VAWG occurs; 2. Incorporate community resources and perspectives into efforts to end VAWG; 3. Use methods and approaches to researching VAWG that centre perspectives and lived experience of communities; 4. Shift VAWG funding to local actors and ensure VAWG funding streams are more responsive to local needs and realities; and 5. Ensure local, contextually-relevant framings of feminisms inform decolonising of VAWG. We conclude that shifting towards a bottom-up approach to decolonising VAWG research and programming is essential to prevent decolonisation from being reduced to a buzzword. While literature explored the use of specific methods to decolonise research on VAWG, researchers need broader strategies to embed a decolonial perspective throughout the research process, transcending mere methodological adaptations. There is a need for VAWG research and programming to scrutinise structural inequities, particularly acknowledging how colonial practices entrenched within wider societal power structures impact the field of VAWG.
