Rapid Evidence Review: Interventions for adult survivors of child sexual abuse experiencing complex trauma

The Gendered Violence Research Network, UNSW Sydney was commissioned by Blue Knot Foundation in late 2021 to conduct a rapid review of academic and grey literature to: • synthesize the literature on interventions for adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) experiencing complex trauma and its impacts in order to identify any gaps in the literature to inform future research and knowledge development • assess and compare the effectiveness of different interventions in treating adult survivors of child sexual abuse who experience complex trauma as a result of this abuse • assess and compare the efficacy of each of these interventions in addressing the needs of diverse populations including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and specific subgroups of adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Whilst there is a substantial body of evidence using the term ‘trauma’, this rapid review focusses specifically on complex trauma and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) relating to adult survivors of CSA

A Context of Risk: Uncovering the Lived Experiences of Chin Refugee Women Negotiating a Livelihood in Delhi

In India, the livelihood spaces that refugee women from Chin State, Burma, have carved for themselves in their country of first asylum remain relatively unexplored. This article focuses on Chin refugee women’s pursuit of liveli- hood in Delhi in 2012–13. The concept of “livelihood” is a starting point to better understand the women’s work experiences and explore the associated risks affecting their well-being. Emerging findings indicate that pervasive sexual harassment and discrimination, inside and outside of work contexts and a constant sense of livelihood insecurity severely affect the health and well-being of these women and contribute to diminished hopes for a future in Delhi.En Inde, les contextes que les femmes réfugiées originaires de l’État Chin, en Birmanie, se sont façonnés afin d’assu- rer des moyens de subsistance dans leur pays de premier asile demeurent relativement peu étudiés. Cet article est axé sur la quête de moyens de subsistance de la part des femmes réfugiées chin à Delhi en 2012-13. La conceptua- lisation des «moyens de subsistance» représente un point de départ pour mieux comprendre les expériences de ces femmes concernant le travail, et explorer les risques impli- qués qui influent sur leur bien-être. Des données récentes indiquent que l’omniprésence du harcèlement sexuel et de la discrimination, inhérente ainsi qu’extérieure aux divers contextes de travail, associée à un sentiment constant de précarité, entrave gravement à la santé et au bien-être de ces femmes, et contribue à des attentes réduites concernant leur avenir à Delhi

Technology-Facilitated Domestic and Family Violence: Protecting the Privacy and Safety of Victim-Survivors

Technology and privacy can be a double-edged sword for those experiencing domestic and family violence (DFV). Technology can be a mechanism for abuse and coercive control but is also offered to victim-survivors as a ‘solution’ to reduce risk and protect their safety. In theory, the law protects the privacy rights of victim-survivors, but poor practice and lapses in security mean that their information is often shared with those who seek to harm them. Perpetrators, particularly alleged perpetrators, also have a right to privacy, making it more difficult to protect victim-survivors. This paper analyses technology-facilitated domestic and family violence (TFDFV) through a privacy lens—drawing on privacy and DFV literature (and the little that lies at the intersection) and doctrinal analysis of Australian and New Zealand privacy and related laws applied to TFDFV. Recommendations are provided to better protect victim-survivors at the intersection of safety, technology and privacy. While the paper focuses on the Australian and New Zealand context, it hopes to motivate similar questions in other jurisdictions

Charged Rotating Black Holes in Odd Dimensions

We consider charged rotating black holes in $D=2N+1$ dimensions, $D \ge 5$. While these black holes generically possess $N$ independent angular momenta, associated with $N$ distinct planes of rotation, we here focus on black holes with equal-magnitude angular momenta. The angular dependence can then be treated explicitly, and a system of 5 $D$-dependent ordinary differential equations is obtained. We solve these equations numerically for Einstein-Maxwell theory in D=5, 7 and 9 dimensions. We discuss the global and horizon properties of these black holes, as well as their extremal limits.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
