In-depth seminar “Gender-specific persecution of girls and young women”
In Germany, gender-specific persecution is legally recognized as a reason for flight. Persons affected by gender-specific persecution are to be regarded as particularly vulnerable persons within the meaning of the Reception Directive and as such have special procedural guarantees.
In practice, however, there is a large discrepancy between the number of affected persons observed by specialist advice centers and the very low number of actual recognitions in the asylum procedure. In addition, there is a widespread lack of early systematic identification of those affected and girls* and young women* have hardly any access to information about their own rights.
In addition to extensive theoretical input with concrete case studies, there will also be room for questions, exchange and discussion.
Speaker: Claire Deery, lawyer
