The Austrian federal act on protection against violence (Gewaltschutzgesetz) entered into force on 1 May 1997. According to this federal act, every person residing in Austria, regardless of their origin or nationality, is entitled to protection against violence. In order to safeguard this right, violence protection centres (VPC) are tasked with protecting the interests of victims/survivors of violence and supporting them in asserting their right to a life free of violence. However, linguistic barriers can potentially hinder victims/survivors with limited German proficiency in accessing support services. In his project, Harald Pasch, Impact.Award Winner of 2022, tries to unravel the complexities of working with interpreters in VPC in order to raise awareness of the necessity of trust-based interprofessional cooperation as well as investigate the challenges of interpreting in the context of gender-based violence.
Harald Pasch is university assistant at the Centre for Translation Studies of the University of Vienna. In his dissertation he investigates interpreting practices in violence protection centres in Austria.- Organisation(en)
