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 ‘gender-based’ aspect highlights the fact that the violence, often rooted in power inequalities between women and men, affects both genders but a disproportionate number of women. This fact is reflected in the content of the module.

It also provides learners with the necessary knowledge of what the concept of gender and gender-based violence is, how it affects people in general, and in particular people who apply for international protection, and what asylum and reception officials can do when they come across victims of gender-based violence in their professional contexts.
