Despite the well-documented under-reporting of sexual violence, to date, no research has considered reporting practices within the specific context of music festivals. Drawing on 16 in-depth interviews with victim-survivors, this article examines survivors’ experiences of (non)reporting sexual violence in festival settings. We argue that while some barriers to reporting are shared across contexts, others play out in context-specific ways. Our research argues that the liberal, often transgressive culture of music festivals, combined with site-specific policing practices and spatial context, creates unique impediments to reporting with particular implications in responding to, and aiming to prevent, sexual violence at music festivals.

澳大利亚音乐节的性骚扰和暴力：报告音乐节参与者的做法和经历

尽管有充分证据证明对性暴力的报道不足，但迄今为止，还没有研究考虑在音乐节的特定背景下进行报道。本文利用对受害者-幸存者的 16 次深入访谈，考察了幸存者在节日环境中（未）报告性暴力的经历。我们认为，虽然报告的一些障碍是跨上下文共享的，但其他障碍以特定于上下文的方式发挥作用。我们的研究认为，音乐节的自由主义、往往是越界的文化，结合特定地点的警务实践和空间背景，对报告产生了独特的障碍，尤其是在回应和旨在预防音乐节上的性暴力方面。
