Webinar 3
“Do No Harm: Ways to Support Survivors of Violence”
The prevalence of violence against women and girls in all its forms is already like a pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, one in three women experience intimate partner violence. 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign held every year to raise awareness of the call to end all forms of gender-based violence.
In an effort to end violence against women and girls in our region, REAct will host the third in a series of webinars on “Do No Harm: Ways to Support Survivors of Violence”. We will consider the key tools for effective assistance to the victim, stabilization of her condition, discuss what should be taken into account and what to avoid, we will talk about interaction with law enforcement agencies in cases of violence. And also, we will dwell on secondary traumatization and methods of its prevention.
The webinars will be held on December 5, 7 and 9, 2022 and will be simultaneously translated into Russian, English, Ukrainian, BHS, Georgian. At the end of the three webinars, participants will be able to take a test and receive an online certificate.

Webinar №3 December 09, 2022
“Do No Harm: Ways to Support Survivors of Violence”
We will look at how to properly help the victim and what (not-) should be done during a conversation with the victim. “My police protect me”: how to properly interact with law enforcement agencies in cases of violence and why “Can you make peace?” does not work. And also, let’s dwell on secondary trauma: why she is forced to talk again and again about the violence she experienced during the investigation and trial.
