Résumé

Objectif : L’exposition à la violence conjugale (VC) à l’enfance demeure un enjeu de santé publique important affectant des millions de jeunes internationalement. Bien que l’exposition à la VC à l’enfance soit étudiée depuis des décennies, la voix des jeunes est souvent passée sous silence, leurs histoires reléguées à de simples données de recherche. Leur exposition à la VC est souvent racontée par procuration par des adultes plutôt que par les jeunes eux-mêmes. De plus, la recherche montre que les jeunes ont peu d'opportunités d'influencer les lois et les pratiques sur les VC. Cet article théorique propose un nouveau modèle d’engagement des jeunes dans les recherches et les pratiques liées aux expériences d’exposition à la VC.

Méthodologie : Le modèle est basé sur une revue de la littérature incluant les leçons tirées du mouvement des refuges pour femmes, des droits des enfants, de la pratique narrative, et des approches sensible aux violences et aux traumas ainsi que sur des études de cas sélectionnées.

Résultats : Le modèle narratif de refuge intègre la narration et l’écoute des histoires pour créer un espace sécuritaire pour les jeunes exposé à la VC afin qu’ils puissent être entendus, exercer leur pouvoir décisionnel et partager leur histoire de façon non-retraumatisante.

Conclusion : Le modèle narratif de refuge constitue une voie vers la création d’espaces sécuritaires et inclusifs pour les jeunes exposés aux VC afin de partager leur histoire et être entendus en tant qu’agents de changement social. Il vise non seulement à promouvoir la voix des jeunes, mais aussi à leur donner les moyens de devenir de jeunes défenseurs et devenir soutenants auprès de leurs pairs dans la lutte contre la VC, renforçant ainsi leur résilience et leur rétablissement. L’utilisation de ce modèle au sein des organismes de VC peut continuer de positionner les jeunes comme experts de leur propre vie et comme agent de changements dans l’élaboration des connaissances et d’interventions efficaces.
