Victims of gender based violence

Analyse the potential needs of victims of gender-based violence in asylum contexts in line with CEAS

DESCRIPTION

This module aims to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify elements of gender-based violence in asylum contexts and understand the potential needs of the victims of gender-based violence in asylum contexts to respond to those needs. The term ‘gender-based’ emphasizes that this violence, often rooted in power imbalances between women and men, affects both genders but disproportionately impacts women.

The module focuses on equipping learners with the knowledge and skills to identify gender-based violence in asylum contexts and understand the needs of its victims. It explores the concept of gender, societal norms, and power dynamics that contribute to such violence, emphasizing its disproportionate impact on women. Divided into four submodules, it covers gender norms, the causes and consequences of gender-based violence, legal frameworks, and best practices for responding to victims. The face-to-face session reinforces learning through practical exercises and experience sharing among participants.
