Experiences of intervention against violence: an anthology of stories; stories in four languages from England & Wales, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia

Abstract

"The stories in this anthology emerged from interviews with women and young people about their experience of intervention when they were escaping a situation of abuse, neglect and/or sexual exploitation. They come from the research project 'Cultural Encounters in Intervention Against Violence (CEINAV)' in four countries - England & Wales, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia. Through support services the women and young people were contacted; they came from a minority or migration background and had travelled through a history of violence and intervention, and were asked to tell who intervened, what had been helpful and what had not."

"Die Geschichten in dieser Sammlung entstanden aus Interviews mit Frauen und Jugendlichen über ihre Erfahrung mit Intervention nach Misshandlung, Vernachlässigung und/oder sexueller Ausbeutung. Die Gespräche wurden im Forschungsprojekt "Cultural Encounters in Intervention Against Violence (CEINAV)" in vier Ländern - England & Wales, Deutschland, Portugal und Slowenien - geführt. Vermittelt durch Fachberatungsstellen konnten die ForscherInnen mit betroffenen Frauen und Jugendlichen sprechen, die einen Minderheiten- oder Migrationshintergrund haben, und sie bitten zu erzählen, wer interveniert hatte, was hilfreich gewesen war und was nicht."
