Description
1. Context
According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees’ report “Too Much Pain” (2018), 66.000 women and girls coming from FGM-practising countries applied for asylum in Europe and over 24.000 of them could potentially have already been affected by FGM. UNHCR also estimates that over 600,000 women are living with the consequences of FGM in Europe and that a further 180,000
girls and women are at risk of undergoing the harmful practice in 13 European countries.
1. General Objective
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.
2. Activities
2.1. Development of an intercultural digital toolbox to prevent HP on migrant women, with a Reference Framework for Intercultural Dialogue. (WP2)
2.2. Training of 720 first-line practitioners from the health sector, NGOs, police and teachers to adjust their HP prevention tools to intercultural scenarios. (WP3)
2.3. Awareness-Sessions targeted at 800 migrant women, which aim to support them in identifying early signs of possible aggression, based on human and women’s rights contemplated in international instruments, by acknowledging, expressing and acting on these situations. (WP3) Type and number of persons benefiting from the project
Toolkit Platform – 500 000 online users reached
Training – 800 migrant women and 720 practitioners on health, education and law enforcement.
Expected results:
1. Practitioners who know how to prepare and adapt HP services for intercultural frameworks, with regards to legal and psychological support.
2. Migrant women who know how to identify and prevent HP, including how to legally report.

Knowledge about the health of the Portuguese population has improved significantly, however, young people require particular attention in relation to the determinants of health related to lifestyle. Scientific evidence of school health promotion, innovation and the need to refocus action on results implies the development of more appropriate interventions for the young population. In addition to empowering people and communities to act, it implies recognizing their skills and potential and facilitating their choices. Integrating a broad vision, the AppSaúde: Empower to better live project is created, with the purpose of improving the levels of health literacy of young adults in the central zone of the country. It integrates three specific areas: food, additive consumption and sexuality. The objectives are: to develop an instrument to evaluate the level of literacy of students of higher education in the areas of food, additive consumption and sexuality; monitor health determinants in these areas, and develop a web-based platform that includes a health education program and a forum for the exchange of ideas between students and professionals. The plan for dissemination of results and dissemination of knowledge is in line with the broad territorial scope and corresponds to the domains of health and technologies applied to health.
The impact of the scientific and technological knowledge generated by the project when disseminated will contribute to the regional and national valorization, in a logic of knowledge translation.
This study will be developed by a team with elements that have already carried out other projects in this area. This team, now reinforced by the involvement of 1st and 2nd cycle IPV students, is a guarantee of the success of IPV research and dissemination at national and international level.
