The Child Protection Hub for South East Europe will host a free webinar on 28 January 2020 for professionals in the asylum and integration fields from southeastern Europe. The webinar will focus on innovative counselling methods for refugee women victims of gender-based violence, developed by the European Institute for Criminality Prevention and Control (HEUNI) in partnership with organisations from Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Germany, Finland and Italy.
The webinar will focus on the gender-based violence in the context of asylum, stressing the pattern of violence that refugee women have experienced, their coping mechanisms and the challenges they face during the asylum procedure. The webinar’s speaker will be Ms. Inka Lilja from HEUNI, who has a background in law and wide experience in working on gender-based violent crime.
The webinar is part of BRIDGE project, led by Terre des Hommes and supported by the EU through its programme Rights, Equality and Citizenship 2014–2020.

About the webinar:
In this webinar Ms Inka Lilja from the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control (HEUNI) will present a handbook developed by HEUNI and partner organizations, who work daily with refugee women in six EU Member States: Croatia, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Finland and Italy. The handbook was developed through a co-creation process and entails a counselling method for working with refugee women who have been victims of gender-based violence. A part of the co-creation process was an extensive data collection through which information was gathered on the phenomena of GBV in the asylum context and the challenges and lessons learned in assisting the victims. Ms Lilja will talk about the pattern of violence identified in the research including continuums of violence and normalization of violence in the lives of refugee women as well as about the dilemma this particular group of victims faced in accessing the criminal justice and asylum system. Moreover, Ms Lilja will also lead the participants through the main points of the counselling method developed. The main focus in the handbook is on adult women but lessons can be also drawn to work with youth and children. The handbook can be downloaded in English, Finnish, German, Italian, Croatian and Greek and more about the project in which the handbook was developed can be found here: http://heuni.education/ccm_gbv_outcomes.
