“This training manual was developed on the basis of seven “train the trainer” trainings carried out during the CCM-GBV project. The purpose of this training manual is twofold: to serve
1. as a resource for trainers to explore the key forms of GBV affecting refugee women;
2. and as a tool to improve professionals’ capacities on recognising and dealing with GBV in the refugee context.

It may be used by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), authorities or public and private stakeholders working directly in refugee accommodations or NGOs working with refugees outside of refugee shelters, meaning refugee reception centers, shared refugee accommodations, deportation centres and private housings. As GBV occurs globally and refugee movements are a matter of international concern, this manual can also be used by professionals beyond the EU, who are confronted with similar problems, as a learning resource for background theoretical and practical information.

Trainers may use the manual to tailor their training sessions according to the needs and interests of their training participants. The training should result in participants being able to see the problem and complexity of GBV in the refugee context and its underlying issues, be a source of reflection and be a further enrichment for professionals working with refugee women. The manual is divided into eight chapters covering different aspects around the topic of GBV in the refugee context.”
