"It's almost like an ownership of my body": Sexual Violence and the Sexualisation of bisexual + women in Aotearoa

This presentation will discuss the findings from my PhD thesis research. The research used a mixed method approach, including a survey of 1000 bisexual+ women and interviews with 20 bisexual+ women in Aotearoa. I will discuss the high rates of sexual violence among my sample and how the sexualisation of bisexual+ women in Aotearoa and abroad may contribute to the high rates of sexual violence for bisexual+ women. Further, this presentation will also include discussion of how we can better include bisexual+ people in efforts to end mahi tūkino in Aotearoa.
