Proces razkritja nasilja v intimnih razmerjih

Skrt, Kaja (author), Leskošek, Vesna (mentor)

Družinska in partnerska okolja naj bi bila človekov varni pristan, žal pa temu ni vedno tako. Nasilje krši temeljne človekove pravice in zato predstavlja pomemben družbeni problem. In kadar se pojavijo stiske, lahko socialno delo vstopi kot ključni podporni sistem. Delati socialno delo pomeni tudi poslušati in dati zgodbam posameznikov svoje mesto. Cilj mojega diplomskega dela je izboljšati razumevanje procesa razkritja nasilja v intimnih razmerjih. S preučevanjem zgodb posameznikov, ki so delili svoje izkušnje z razkritjem nasilja, želim ustvariti znanje, ki bo podprlo tako tiste, ki so nasilje že razkrili, kot tudi tiste, ki za to še zbirajo moč. V kvalitativni raziskavi sem zato s pomočjo delno standardiziranega intervjuja zbirala pripovedi žrtev družinskega nasilja in nasilja v intimnopartnerskih odnosih o njihovih izkušnjah z razkritjem nasilja. Zanimalo me je, v kakšnem razmerju sta bila žrtev in povzročitelj nasilja ter kakšne vrste nasilja je žrtev doživljala. Spraševala sem, kako je potekalo razkritje nasilja. Posebno pozornost sem namenila razkritju nasilja v neformalnem in formalnem okolju, preučevanju dejavnikov, ki v tem procesu delujejo kot spodbude ter tistih, ki predstavljajo ovire. Nazadnje sem obravnavala odnos med vrsto razmerja in procesom razkritja nasilja ter odnos med vrsto nasilja in procesom razkritja. Žrtve nasilja v intimnih odnosih so po doživljanju nasilja podporo vedno iskale med svojimi bližnjimi. Njihove zgodbe služb pomoči niso dosegle, pričevanja sogovorcev pa za to razkrivajo več ovir. Čeprav žrtve o razkritju formalni mreži niti niso razmišljale, sem skupaj z njimi uspela identificirati tudi nekaj morebitnih spodbud. Žrtve nasilja v intimnih odnosih različno prepoznavajo in razkrivajo nasilje. Žrtve intimnopartnerskega nasilja hitreje prepoznajo nasilje in zapustijo odnos, medtem ko žrtve družinskega nasilja pogosto v nasilnem okolju zaradi odvisnosti od družine vztrajajo dlje. Fizično in spolno nasilje žrtve pogosto ne prepoznajo takoj kot nasilje, kar je deloma posledica družbenih norm in pomanjkanja ozaveščenosti.

• Title: Disclosure of violence in intimate relationships

Abstract

Family and partner environments are supposed to be a safe haven for individuals, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. Violence violates fundamental human rights and thus represents a significant social problem. When crises arise, social work can step in as a crucial support system. Engaging in social work also means listening and giving individuals' stories their rightful place. The goal of my thesis is to improve the understanding of the process of disclosure of violence in intimate relationships. By studying the stories of individuals who have shared their experiences with disclosing violence, I aim to create knowledge that will support both those who have already disclosed the violence and those who are still gathering the strength to do so. In a qualitative study, I collected narratives from victims of family violence and intimate partner violence about their experiences with disclosing violence through semi-structured interviews. I was interested in the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, as well as the types of violence the victim experienced. I inquired about how the disclosure of violence unfolded. Special attention was given to the disclosure of violence in informal and formal environments, examining the factors that act as incentives in this process and those that pose obstacles. Lastly, I explored the relationship between the type of relationship and the process of disclosing violence, as well as the relationship between the type of violence and the disclosure process. Victims of intimate relationship violence always sought support from their close ones after experiencing violence. Their stories did not reach support services, with testimonies revealing several obstacles. Although victims did not even consider disclosing to formal networks, together we managed to identify some potential incentives. Victims of intimate relationship violence recognize and disclose violence differently. Victims of intimate partner violence recognize the violence and leave the relationship more quickly, while victims of family violence often stay longer in the abusive environment due to dependency on the family. Physical and sexual violence are often not immediately recognized by victims as violence, partly due to social norms and lack of awareness.
