Despite increasing scholarly and media attention on sexual violence in public spaces, including those associated with the night-time economy and licensed venues, music festivals have been largely absent from research and policy. This paper presents the findings from the first UK study of sexual violence at music festivals, drawing on data from interviews with 13 women who have experienced some form of sexual harassment or assault at a festival. Analysis reveals that sexual violence at festivals occurs on a continuum and represents an extension of rape culture through which sexual violence is culturally condoned and normalized, enabled through a number of environmental and culture features that are unique to festivals.
尽管关于公共场所性暴力的学术研究和媒体关注度不断增加，包括与夜间经济和持牌场所相关的性暴力，但音乐节在研究和政策中基本上仍未被涉及。本文介绍了英国首次针对音乐节上性暴力问题的研究结果，该研究基于对 13 名在音乐节上遭受过某种形式性骚扰或性侵犯的女性的访谈数据。分析结果表明，音乐节上的性暴力是一个连续的过程，是通过一系列独特的环境和文化特征使性暴力在文化上被默许和正常化的强奸文化的延伸。
