The event took place on the last day of the ‘Orange the World’ campaign, in the context in which ICAR Foundation is running a project (EVA IRFAM – There is Hidden Violence Among Migrant Women) that addresses cases of gender-based violence among migrants.
Experts in the field took the floor in the webinar: Nora Sveaass, clinical psychologist and HHRI president (Mental Health and Human Rights Info) – Norvegia, Dr. Diddy Mymin Kahn – Co-founder and director of Kuchinate, African Refugee Women’s Collective – Israel and Lia Faur, professor of Romanian language and civilization at El Manar University in Tunis.

The project is carried out by ICAR Foundation in partnership with Health and Human Rights Info, with the financial support of Active Citizens Fund Romania, program financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014-2021. The aim of the project is to increase the capacity of women, young people and LGBTIQ migrants/refugees to recognize and get out of GBV situations thanks to the support services, awareness campaign and training of specialists from public institutions at national level in identifying, intervening, and preventing GBV and the development of ICAR Foundation as a resource center on GBV by conducting the first research report on GBV on refugees in Romania and developing a work guide for specialists.
