The general objective of the project is to provide online and face-to-face intercultural mediation training on prevention of harmful practices (HP) targeted at first line practitioners and migrant and refugee women, for (1) early detection, prevention, and response to HP crimes, such as female genital mutilation, early forced marriage and honor crimes and (2) to guarantee agility and adequacy of support to potential migrant victims.
Primarily, the project will create a digital toolkit for trainers on the (1) prevention, (2) detection, (3) crisis management and (4) post-intervention of HP concerning migrants’ victims, including a Reference Framework for Intercultural Mediation on HP. Secondly, the project will roll-out 48 train-the-trainer sessions for 720 practitioners from health, education and law enforcement services on how to prevent, detect and act towards HP targeted at migrants. Then, the project will implement 40 tailor-made awareness sessions for at least 800 migrants located in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium.
