Учебное пособие по оказанию психологической помощи лицам, подвергшимся сексуальному насилию
во время вооруженных конфликтов. В этом руководстве даны рекомендац...и по работе в первую очередь с женщинами и девушками, которые пострадали в результате сексуального насилия. Однако мужчины и юноши тоже подвергаются сексуальному насилию, и это часто очень сложная тема для разговора. Руководство можно адаптировать для работы с мужчинами, пострадавшими в результате. Этот тренинговый материл составлен для тех, кто оказывает помощь и поддержку женщинам, которые подверглись гендерному насилию и получили сексуальные травмы во время стихийных
бедствий, войн и конфликтов. Мы надеемся, что он будет полезен и для тех, кто работает с проблемами гендерного насилия в других условиях. Отдельный модуль тренинга необходимо посвятить работе с детьми (мальчиками и девочками), которых подвергли гендерному насилию.
