Abstract

Increased concern was raised globally at the outbreak of COVID-19 that victims of domestic violence would be even more at risk when isolated with a violent partner and out of reach of support due to restrictions. Swedish staff in violence against women services prepared for increased calls for help. Instead, a worrying silence arose in a time and place of high uncertainty. This article analyzes the narratology of risk, when staff members in violence against women services, reflect upon their accounts, responses, and experiences, during the pandemic. The analysis is based on three themes, accounting for expected increased influx, making sense of silence and accounting for mobilization. The findings are discussed by applying the relational theory of risk.

沉默的声音：解读 COVID-19 大流行期间家庭暴力受害者的缺席求助。

在 COVID-19 爆发时，全球范围内提出了更多的担忧，即当家庭暴力受害者与施暴伴侣隔离并因限制而无法获得支持时，他们将面临更大的风险。瑞典暴力侵害妇女服务机构的工作人员做好了求助电话增多的准备。然而，在一个高度不确定的时间和地点，却出现了令人担忧的沉默。本文分析了风险叙事学，即暴力侵害妇女服务机构的工作人员在大流行病期间对自己的叙述、反应和经历进行的反思。分析以三个主题为基础，即对预期增加的流入量的考虑、对沉默的理解和对动员的考虑。研究结果将运用风险关系理论进行讨论。
