More than 122 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, disaster, and human rights violations. During times of instability, violence against women and girls also often increases. How does exposure to human rights abuses affect mental health and how do communities leverage resilience to respond to traumatic events? Please join us for an informative discussion and Q & A session with Dr. Kim Baranowski to learn more about the impact of gender-based violence on people experiencing forced migration. The presentation will also highlight strategies for supporting human rights efforts, as well as partnering with our asylum-seeking neighbors as they navigate the complex process of seeking protected immigration status.
