项目摘要

Humanitarian policy and practice are driven by the immediacy of crisis and urgency. But in contexts of protracted conflict and displacement, it is often the hidden damage that takes place over time that sets the terms for future violence, change, and possible peace.One of the major stumbling-blocks to protection is the failure to measure and identify needs and problems not currently obvious to external actors in policy, law, and local contexts. Aid and protection that reacts to only the most 'recent' abuse or threat not only fails to understand the nature of injury, but limits the sustainability of possible solutions. Uncovering layers of time and hidden damage will reveal the specific needs of the most vulnerable and disenfranchised. Multiple, layered and even simultaneous experiences of violence, displacement, and generational trauma persist into future generations, creating new challenges and blocking change.What is our main aim?The Rights for Time/Time for Rights Network Plus (R4T+) will co-create a research network+ that supports and delivers a new understanding of how time conditions war, displacement, and violence, and shifts the possibilities and frame of action for humanitarian protection and human rights.What will we do?We will meet these challenges by developing a network that stimulates and supports interdisciplinary, peer-peer, case-based research, drawing together 6 in-country partners from 5 DAC-list countries, including Rwanda, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Kenya, and academic experts from the arts and humanities, psychology, medical anthropology, refugee studies, gender studies, human rights, transitional justice, humanitarian law, and protection policy. We have chosen to work both within and across specific contexts where the long periods of violence produce enduring and intractable challenges, particularly for vulnerable communities and groups, such as refugees, people who have been displaced, women, and children. We will develop the concept of 'Rights for Time' to build a network+ that can bring the hidden legacies of conflict directly into humanitarian protection, and human rights policy and practice.What will the network+ look like?Co-Investigators based at the universities of Birmingham, KCL, SOAS, Taghyeer (Jordan) and the Lebanese American University will work with 6 Project Partners to establish the Network+. Partners include the Wangu Kanju Foundation, We Love Reading, BLAST, the African Initiative for Mankind Progress and the Kigali Center for Photography. We will begin by piloting a series of initial case studies. These will inform the research projects we will commission in our countries of focus as well as in other DAC-list countries as the network grows. The projects will generate new evidence bases, impact communities at the ground level, and develop new policy and practice to make the forms of injury of protracted violence culturally visible at local, national and international levels. In doing so, partner countries will have the necessary tools and an increased ability to develop effective protection solutions for those most affected by conflict and violence, especially vulnerable groups, such as refugees, people living in informal settlements, women, children, the elderly, and those in 'extreme poverty'.How will this be done? The network will:- Fund and support research projects that address protection and the long times of violence for vulnerable communities;- Undertake a range of activities that create change on the ground and in policy for vulnerable communities, such as through workshops, a Research Summit, a dedicated website and social media;- Build the capacity of partners and academics to fully reach their potential via training;- Use creative ways of engaging with people, particularly those who usually miss out.

人道主义政策和实践是由危机的紧迫性和紧迫性驱动的。但在旷日持久的冲突和流离失所的背景下，往往是随着时间的推移而发生的隐藏损害，为未来的暴力、变革和可能的和平奠定了基础。保护的主要障碍之一是无法衡量和识别目前，外部参与者在政策、法律和当地背景下的需求和问题并不明显。仅针对最近的虐待或威胁做出反应的援助和保护不仅无法了解伤害的性质，而且限制了可能解决方案的可持续性。揭开时间层层和隐藏的损害将揭示最脆弱和被剥夺权利的群体的具体需求。暴力、流离失所和代际创伤的多重、分层甚至同时发生的经历持续影响子孙后代，带来新的挑战并阻碍变革。我们的主要目标是什么？时间权利/时间权利网络+（R4T+）将共同创造一个研究网络+，支持并提供对时间如何影响战争、流离失所和暴力的新理解，并改变人道主义保护和人权行动的可能性和框架。我们将做什么？我们将通过发展网络来应对这些挑战刺激和支持跨学科，同行、基于案例的研究，汇集了来自卢旺达、黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、约旦和肯尼亚等 5 个 DAC 名单国家的 6 个国内合作伙伴，以及来自艺术和人文、心理学、医学人类学、难民等领域的学术专家研究、性别研究、人权、过渡时期司法、人道主义法和保护政策。我们选择在长期暴力造成持久且棘手挑战的特定环境内和跨特定环境开展工作，特别是对于难民、流离失所者、妇女和儿童等弱势社区和群体而言。我们将发展“时间权利”的概念，建立一个网络+，将冲突的隐藏遗产直接带入人道主义保护、人权政策和实践中。网络+会是什么样子？伯明翰、KCL、SOAS、Taghyeer（约旦）和黎巴嫩美国大学将与 6 个项目合作伙伴合作建立 Network+。合作伙伴包括 Wangu Kanju 基金会、We Love Reading、BLAST、非洲人类进步倡议和基加利摄影中心。我们将首先试点一系列初步案例研究。随着网络的发展，这些将为我们在重点国家以及其他 DAC 名单国家委托开展的研究项目提供信息。这些项目将产生新的证据基础，影响基层社区，并制定新的政策和做法，使持久暴力的伤害形式在地方、国家和国际层面上具有文化可见性。这样做，伙伴国家将拥有必要的工具和更强的能力，为受冲突和暴力影响最严重的人，特别是弱势群体，如难民、生活在非正规住区的人们、妇女、儿童、老年人、以及那些处于“极端贫困”状态的人。这将如何完成？该网络将： - 资助和支持研究项目，以解决弱势社区的保护和长期暴力问题； - 开展一系列活动，为弱势社区带来实地和政策方面的变革，例如通过研讨会、研究峰会、专门网站和社交媒体； - 培养合作伙伴和学者的能力，通过培训充分发挥他们的潜力； - 使用创造性的方式与人们互动，特别是那些通常会错过的人。
