Limited attention has been paid to the potential of tort law to address the harm of sexual violence. Based on interviews with 35 victim-survivors of sexual violence in Iceland, this study asks: How do victim-survivors understand monetary compensation? How can tort law meet victim-survivors’ justice interests? The findings suggest that in addition to the financial risk involved, most participants had ambivalent views towards pursuing and receiving monetary compensation. Many thought that, given their often extensive pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses, it was only fair to receive compensation; but at the same time, they did not want to accept ‘dirty money’ they considered that pursuing monetary compensation could undermine their credibility, and monetary compensation only partially aligned with their ideas about justice. The findings are interpreted in the context of tort law theory, taboo trade-offs and survivor-centred justice. It is suggested that state intervention is needed to better meet victim-survivors’ justice interests.

补偿作为伸张正义的手段?性暴力幸存者对冰岛侵权法选择的看法

人们对侵权法在解决性暴力危害方面的潜力给予了有限的关注。本研究基于对冰岛 35 名性暴力受害者-幸存者的采访,提出了以下问题:受害者-幸存者如何理解金钱赔偿?侵权法如何满足受害人-幸存者的正义利益?调查结果表明,除了所涉及的财务风险外,大多数参与者对追求和获得金钱补偿的看法也很矛盾。许多人认为,鉴于他们经常蒙受巨大的金钱和非金钱损失,获得赔偿才是公平的;但同时,他们也不愿接受“脏钱”,他们认为追求金钱赔偿会损害他们的信誉,金钱赔偿只是部分符合他们对正义的看法。调查结果在侵权法理论、禁忌权衡和以幸存者为中心的正义的背景下进行了解释。建议需要国家干预以更好地满足被害人-幸存者的正义利益。
