This article explores the potential role of digital storytelling (DST) in improving interpreting services for migrant survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). By conducting narrative interviews with language mediators, the study aims to shed light on how digital storytelling can mitigate power imbalances and improve communication and support (Moenandar, 2024; Myumbo, 2023). The findings will provide insights for policymakers, service providers, and researchers to develop ethical GBV interpretation methods and improve the well-being of survivors.
Questo articolo esplora il ruolo del digital storytelling (DST) nel migliorare i servizi di interpretariato per le migranti sopravvissute alla violenza di genere (GBV). Attraverso interviste narrative con mediatori\mediatrici linguistiche, lo studio analizza come il digital storytelling possa ridurre gli squilibri di potere, favorire una comunicazione più efficace e rafforzare il supporto alle sopravvissute (Moenandar, 2024; Myumbo, 2023). I risultati offriranno spunti utili per policy maker, operatori\operatrici del settore e ricercatori\ricercatrici, contribuendo allo sviluppo di pratiche etiche nell’interpretariato in contesti di GBV e al miglioramento del benessere delle sopravvissute.
