“Being silenced feels like yet another form of institutional betrayal”
This talk will reflect on a CAPE funded project, the aim of which was to co-produce self-help Vlogs for domestic abuse survivors who are starting their family court process. During the process several survivors wanted to share tacit knowledge from their own experiences but were impeded by court rules, with their image and voices needing to be altered and masked. I will discuss some of the legal challenges and impact of the strict family court reporting rules silencing survivors and their lived experience, and then consider options for how survivor stories could be shared for change given these barriers.
