ICMC Malaysia Burmese Refugees in Malaysia fight Gender Based Violence through community-based programmingMALAYSIA, 27 March 2014 (ICMC) – “A lot of women suffer from Gender Based Violence (GBV), but they don’t know how to ask for help. People don’t understand that survivors should be helped instead of blamed. We must change what we can now, only then will women gain equality and respect,” said Iang Chin Par, a Burmese refugee living in Malaysia and a member of the ICMC Refugee Women’s Protection Corps (RWPC). The RWPC was formed by ICMC more than four years ago and has since served as the foundation of ICMC work and community-based approach to prevent and respond to GBV amongst Burmese refugees in Malaysia. With generous financial support from the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM), ICMC staff mentors, supervises and coordinates a group of around twenty RWPC volunteers from the Burmese refugee community to better address harmful gender inequalities.Read more<  International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women ICMC project in Jordan helps Syrian refugee women and children fight isolationAl Mafraq, Jordan, 25 November 2013 (ICMC) – The International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) is betting on community involvement to help isolated Syrian women and girls in Northern Jordan better access social services available and face the many challenges of refugee life.Read more< Gender-based violence Refugees most vulnerable to gender-based violence

Gender-based violence (GBV) is often reduced to rape and conceived of as an instrument of war. Yet that does not show the full picture: domestic violence against children and women is far more common, especially among refugees who have escaped violence in their home countries to find a first asylum.
