Webinar: “Gender-Based Violence and Resistance of Migrant Women in Europe” , 26 January, 5-7pm CET

Описание: WIDE+ and Latin American Bureau (LAB) will host an online discussion about gender-based violence (GBV) against migrant women in Europe, reflecting on the ways migrant women resist this violence and the European legal and policy frameworks around GBV.

While data is not easily available, existing research shows that migrant women are disproportionately affected by GBV. In this webinar we will ask why there is such an excessive representation of migrant women in the figures of gender-based violence, and why there is less police and judicial protection for migrant women.

Objectives of the dialogue:
• Promote the voices of migrant women tackling GBV and demonstrating their forms of resistance.
• Highlight the intersectionality of gender-based violence.
• Advocate for greater policy solutions for migrant women facing gender-based violence.
