Description

Voices, Listening and Law and Policy Reform on Violence Against Women. This project aims to develop innovative approaches to listening to women’s voices in law and policy reform on violence against women, which is a national priority. While reform processes now commonly elicit victim/survivors voices, with the implicit promise of listening, participants often report that they are not heard. Research shows meaningful change is limited. There is a gap in research on how women’s voices are adduced, heard and responded to. This project addresses this gap by generating new knowledge on best practices for listening to diverse groups of vicitm-survivors, with the potential to enhance the outcomes of law and policy reform and to address the urgent need for new pathways and processes for justice for these women. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4804 - Law In Context. Lead: Prof Nan Seuffert
