Highlights

In 2020, UNICEF and HIAS developed a Remote Psychosocial Support Model for refugee and migrant girls and adolescents who have survived gender-based violence (GBV). This Model aims to establish principles and processes to provide psychological and social support to these girls and adolescents. Following its implementation in several countries in the region, the need for a specific methodology to address the needs of LGBTQ+ adolescents who are survivors of GBV in mobility contexts was identified.

To enhance this support, a specific Guide has been developed to accompany the Model, providing tools and strategies tailored to the needs of adolescents in mobility contexts. This initiative promotes a comprehensive and appropriate approach, ensuring that all LGBTQ+ adolescents in mobility receive the support they need while strengthening the skills of the professionals responsible for supporting LGBTQ+ adolescents who are survivors of GBV in mobility contexts.
