Final International Conference of the Net Care Project

Sexual and gender-based violence against  migrant and refugee population.

The impact of the Covid pandemic on risk of being exposed to SGBV in Spain, Italy and Greece

The Net Care project funded by the European Commission aimed to strengthen a network of public and private services for the protection of migrant and refugee survivors of forms of sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) in Greece, Italy and Spain. The final conference intends to discuss the lessons learned, best practices and challenges from the direct support to migrant and refugee women and children during the first phase of the Covid Emergency. Thanks to front line professionals and activists, we would like to exchange work methodologies in supporting survivors and fostering their recovery and access to protection services.
