Comparative report on focus Groups with Migrant Women

This report summarizes the findings of the fieldwork in eight European countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and United Kingdom within the project BASE: Migrant & refugee child-friendly support services in cases of sexual and gender-based violence. The aim of this comparative report is to (1) address the power relations and sociocultural characteristics of GBV within migrant communities (men/women), (2) the support (or repression) for women's autonomy and equality, (3) the social mechanisms in place to provide support in cases of oppression/violence (who is available to listen, what measures can be taken), steps to enhance safety and equality, (4) their views on the quality and scope of available support services, the role played by authorities in addressing GBV and (5) the definition of the role of cultural advisor.
