In this documentary we look at deaf survivors of DSGBV recount their stories and experiences of interactions in different scenarios. These are based on true stories. The film has been produced by a team of deaf and hearing researchers at Heriot-Watt University and produced by the JUSTISIGNS 2 team in Scotland and Ireland.

Resources and information for victims of GBV and how to access services have been developed for a variety of service providers, survivors and interpreters. Check out the download section for more.

Training resources for spoken and sign language interpreters who interpreter in triadic interactions between victims and support professionals such as police, counsellors and legal professionals.

This handbook is intended to support sign and spoken language interpreters working in situations of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV). It also aims to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of service provision, legal protections and justice for migrants, refugees and deaf people who have experienced such violence.

Practical and specialist training for police and interpreters have been organised in each country and will continue to run through 2023 focussing on training in a variety of areas.
