Title: Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women Affected by Rape or Sexual Violence: a Literature Review.

Authors: Refugee Council.
Publication Date: February 2009.
Publication URL Address: http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/policy/position/2009/vulnerable_women/vulnerable_women_lit_review.htm
Source: Refugee Council – http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/ (Web).

Additional Info: Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women Affected by Rape or Sexual Violence: a Literature Review summarises the learning from the Refugee Council Vulnerable Women’s Project and situates that learning within the wider context of what is known about rape and sexual violence. It provides a summary of evidence that is available about the prevalence of sexual violence against refugee women, and about access to justice in some of the countries from which the Project’s clients have fled. The Refugee Council will be using the evidence contained in the report to inform the advocacy that will be carried out with partners over the coming year. Organisations that are interested in working with the Refugee Council on these issues are invited to contact Gemma Juma, Head of International and UK Policy at the Refugee Council.

The guide has been written to assist staff in RCOs, Refugee Agencies and other welfare and advice organisations that provide services to refugee and asylum seeking women.
