Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper explores found poetry as a method for listening to the voices of young Asian survivors. The survivors referenced in this paper were participants in the study, Young Asian Sexual Violence Survivors’ Experiences and Expectations of Support Systems Within New Zealand Schools. By integrating participants’ words into found poems, this study provides an authentic platform for participants’ stories. The poems emphasise the intersection of cultural expectations, generational divides, and the unique challenges faced by young survivors in seeking support. Through this approach, the research highlights the emotional weight and resilience embedded in these narratives. While found poetry powerfully conveys the emotional and experiential aspects of the data, it also raises challenges, such as the risk of generalisation and the potential omission of certain themes. Nevertheless, this method serves as a vital tool in amplifying marginalised voices, ensuring that the young survivors’ experiences are not only heard but deeply understood.
