guide pratique fem

Practical guide. Excised and refugee women, my way of being. Expertise and know-be maintenance.

It has now been several years that, as psychologists, we are called upon to assist in the personal journey of women victims of female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
 
We also have the opportunity to provide training on the psychological aspects of the care of these women and hear from participants, questions, concerns and sometimes distress compared to real life situations in the presence of these women .
 
Through this guide, we try to provide an answer by providing tools / resources to address the plight of women and their personal distress as a worker psycho-medico-social and even legal.

 

 

 
New release of GAMS Belgium (Group for the Abolition of Female Genital Mutilation), in partnership with the Centre of AIDS and sexuality (FUSL): "Excision and Migration in Francophone Belgium."

Based on a field survey, the research analyzes the impact of migration on the representations and practices of female circumcision and questions especially conversions and confrontations in terms of normative genders and sexualities. It also sheds light on the institutional dimension of the problem and raises several issues, including health, on the intersections between gender and "culture" through the scope of criminal law and international protection for female genital mutilation.
