 The SEREDA project presents the state of knowledge on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) against refugees and their experiences from displacement to arrival, capturing the continuum of violence. Three working papers will be presented in the seminar concerning barriers to monitoring SGBV, response and treatment, as well as SGBV experiences and integration of refugees. \n
Lisa Goodson and Hoayda Darkal:  ‘Monitoring and reporting incidents of sexual and gender based violence across the refugee journey’

Sandra Pertek:  ‘Sexual and gender-based violence and refugees: the impacts of and on integration domains’
 Sandra will present the key findings of this working paper.  This includes how SGBV experience impacts on refugees’ integration and how the integrative domains impact on refugee SGBV survivors. \n
Sara Alsaraf:   'Responding to Refugees' Experiences of SGBV: Guidelines and Interventions'
 The short and long-term physical and psychological consequences of SGBV can be devastating. This working paper reviews interventions offered to migrants who have suffered SGBV and summarises guidelines produced by international humanitarian agencies.\n
