Mainstreaming Gender along the Resettlement Continuum –Towards an inclusive integration approach
Channel: IOM - UN Migration
Date: 2020-10-23

This webinar promotes inclusive and gender-sensitive practices along the resettlement continuum – from pre-departure orientation to long-term integration actions in the resettlement country.

The European Commission sets the scene by providing an overview of the latest policy developments in the area of resettlement. Then, a formerly resettled refugee woman, now living in Italy, shares her personal integration journey and related challenges. Her contribution introduces the presentation of the Guidelines on Mainstreaming Gender in Pre-departure Orientation, which aims to provide practitioners – particularly those who work directly with refugees – with the tools to systematically integrate gender into PDO. Finally, focusing at the post-arrival stage, IOM Belgium shares good practices on the engagement of local authorities and frontline services in host countries to better integrate gender in their assistance to migrant women, families and girls.
