Report warns refugee women on the move in Europe are at risk of sexual and gender-based violence
20 January 2016
…The report also highlights some key recommendations for governments and EU agencies:
:: Establish a coordinated response system within and across borders that protects women and girls;
:: Acknowledge the protection risks and put personnel and procedures in place specifically to prevent, identify, and respond to sexual and gender-based violence;
:: Ensure response to sexual and gender-based violence that recognizes women will not stop to report SGBV or access services; and
:: Provide legal pathways to protection, especially for women, children and sexual and gender-based violence survivors, including effective family reunification and prioritization of these refugees with specific needs in relocation and resettlement opportunities.
