Migration can be a deeply traumatic experience. Individuals travel thousands of miles in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, with limited access to food, shelter or medical care. The increase in vulnerability as a result of migration can put children and youth at risk for gender-based violence. This may include violence and exploitation by traffickers, civil servants, staff from public institutions, other migrants, or even their own family.
This online course has been designed for professionals who come into contact with children and youth on the move. The focus is on building the knowledge and capacity to prevent, identify, and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). Through this course, enrolled participants will develop greater skills and awareness of how to best support children and youth on the move who may have been exposed to or impacted by GBV, currently, while on the move, or in their country of origin. However, any person interested to learn more about this subject is welcome to take the course.
This course is divided into several micro-learning modules designed to be completed in one sitting. If you are new to this subject, we recommend completing the modules in sequence. Otherwise, you may view them in any order you wish and return to them as needed for reference.
Modules of the course include:
- Introduction
- Recognizing Signs of Gender-Based Violence
- Responding to Gender-Based Violence
- Preventing Gender-Based Violence
- Practicing Self Care
- Conclusion
This is a free, self-paced online course which should take you about one hour to complete. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion from ChildHub.
