Abstract

This special issue aims to amplify the voices of those who were and continue to be at the frontlines resisting and responding to sexual violence. In order to frame this special issue, we first outline the current socio-political landscape, including increased visibility of movements such as #NoMore, #TimesUp, and most notably #MeToo, and the public showcase of accused perpetrators becoming elected to the highest offices in the United States (e.g., Brett Kavanaugh’s election to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump’s election to the Presidency). We offer note to how this political landscape has impacted survivors and therapists, alike. We then provide a critique of the silencing of survivors who are marginalized (e.g., women of color, trans, and queer survivors) within the current movements and offer recommendations for how to center their experiences through an intersectional approach. Finally, we explore the role of technology and digital feminisms on survivor’s experience and its influence on therapist and therapeutic interventions.

摘要

本期特刊旨在放大那些曾经和继续站在抵抗和应对性暴力前线的人的声音。为了框架这个特殊问题，我们首先概述当前的社会政治景观，包括增加的动作的可见度，如#nomore，#timesup和最符合的#metoo，以及被告犯罪者的公众展示成为最高办公室在美国（例如，Brett Kavanaugh选举最高法院，唐纳德特朗普选举主席团）。我们注意到这种政治格局如何影响幸存者和治疗师等。然后，我们对边缘化幸存者（例如，有色人种、跨性别、和酷儿幸存者）在当前的运动中，并就如何通过交叉方法集中他们的经验提供建议。最后，我们探讨了技术和数字女权主义对幸存者体验的作用及其对治疗师和治疗干预的影响。
