“…The Silences Framework model was adopted because it is suitable for researching sources of stressors in HE that are little-researched. It projects both the dominant and marginalized views of communities and exposes the multiple realities that exist within a group or society [ 30 ]. The Silences Framework asserts that reality is not objective or fixed, but rather human beings are the script authors of the social world in any society at a particular time [ 29 ].…”

Introduction there is increasing levels of stressors and hardship among higher education students especially in low and middle income countries. Higher education institutions have an important role to play in the provision of robust and comprehensive support for students who experience stressors and hardship. Research and action in this area has however not been prioritized by the institutions in Zimbabwe. This study examined students´ expression of their experience with stressors and problems of studying in higher education in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. Methods the study employed a qualitative approach using the phenomenology approach. Three institutions of higher education in the eastern border highlands of Zimbabwe were considered. Four focus group discussions were conducted with eight participants in each group. A one-to-one semi-structured interview with eight individual participants was also conducted to further examine the issues raised in the focus groups. Data were analyzed thematically using the Silences Framework theoretical model. Results five overarching themes emerged from the analysis: (i) the stress of completing assessments without adequate learning materials. (ii) Unfair placement workload results into poor assessment outcomes. (iii) College-life is more difficult due to financial constraints. (iv) Marital problems interfering with college work: there is no mental health service available. (v) Enduring pains of bereavement with no emotional support or helpline. Conclusion the study recommends the need to develop an inter-ministerial mental health strategy for institutions of higher learning with the view of implementing policies that address students suffering in Zimbabwean HE institutions.

“…The Silences Framework has been used in a range of empirical studies, which centralize previously hidden or marginalized aspects of human experience in specific contexts that are deemed "sensitive." These have included studies of experiences of health provision for newly released offenders (Eshareturi et al, 2015;Eshareturi et al, 2014), exploration of HIV stigma within Black Sub-Saharan African communities residing in the UK (Nyashanu and Serrant, 2016), living with comorbidities of HIV and Tuberculosis in Brazil (Rossetto et al, 2018) and the recovery experiences of young adults following proximal fracture of the femur following a low velocity fall (Janes et al, 2018) with further studies currently underway.…”

Understanding the needs of Black women within a cultural and medical framework which recognizes the impact on health and well-being on the spaces where culture, health, and expectation intersect remains a challenge. In the UK, Black women are often more likely to have poor prognosis, worse outcomes and greater morbidity from treatable and preventable health conditions than their white peers. UK researchers have struggled to find a culturally appropriate safe methodological framework to help explore the challenges faced by Black women and their families in safeguarding their health, particularly around sensitive issues such as sexual and reproductive health. This article presents a relatively new intersectional framework which has been use for conducting health research on culturally sensitive health issues. The Silences Framework introduces the notion of "Screaming Silences." Screaming Silences (or Silences) reflect the unsaid or unshared aspects of how beliefs, values and experiences of (or about) some groups affect their health and life chances. The article will explore how, the framework aligns with existing Intersectional approaches and how it could be used to expose intersectional nature of issues which influence and inform both individual and group understandings Black Women's health using examples relating to sexual health and life chances for Black women in the Diaspora.

“…They were people who lived in conditions of extreme vulnerability, and who were often liable and blamed for being in these conditions. Studies (10)(11) with persons serving a sentence in the prison system have shown that these research participants are often stigmatized by health professionals and that former offenders could be better cared for if the services could understand their health and structural needs better.…”

Resumo OBJETIVO Analisar como o pertencimento a certos grupos sociais contribui para a constituição das vulnerabilidades associadas ao adoecimento pela coinfecção tuberculose/HIV/aids. METODOLOGIA Pesquisa qualitativa realizada em Porto Alegre-RS, em regiões de alta vulnerabilidade social. Foram entrevistadas 20 pessoas coinfectadas em serviços especializados de saúde, entre agosto e dezembro de 2016. A análise teve como aporte os referenciais The Sound of Silence e Vulnerabilidade e Direitos Humanos. RESULTADOS Condições socioeconômicas foram decisivas para constituição das condições de vulnerabilidade. Processos de invisibilização das pessoas e silenciamento de suas vozes, em um cenário marcado por desigualdades econômicas, raciais e de gênero contribuíam para que suas necessidades de saúde não fossem compreendidas e efetivamente levadas em consideração nas ações dos serviços. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS Quanto mais efetivas forem as estratégias para legitimar as vozes e compreender as necessidades das pessoas afetadas pela coinfecção, maiores serão as chances de que as respostas programáticas para o problema sejam exitosas.
