Self-directed course: Understanding and Responding to GBV in Immigrant and Refugee Communities

OCASI / Initiative to End Gender-Based Violence invites you to the upcoming self-directed course: Understanding and Responding to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Immigrant and Refugee Communities.

This self-directed course aims to help front-line practitioners working with immigrant and refugee communities to better understand issues of gender-based violence (GBV) and develop a supportive response for survivors with intersectional identities.

Course Learning Objectives:

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the importance of using anti-racism, anti-oppression, and intersectional frameworks when supporting immigrants and refugees.
• Recognize the signs and symptoms of violence specific to immigrant and refugee communities.
• Identify and practice applying strategies for responding to disclosures of violence, considering the intersectional needs of diverse immigrant and refugee communities.
• Name specific ways that frontline workers can support immigrant and refugee survivors of GBV at the individual and systemic levels and through community engagement.

This is self-directed online training, meaning you can complete the modules at your own pace and at your own time.

Registration deadline: June 18, 2024
