Vulnerable women - good practice guide
The Vulnerable Women’s Project Good Practice Guide: Assisting Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women affected by Rape or Sexual Violence [February 2009]
The Vulnerable Women’s Project Good Practice Guide: Assisting Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women affected by Rape or Sexual Violence explains the Refugee Council approach to best practice in caring for women who have been subject to sexual violence, including rape. The guide has been written to assist staff in RCOs, Refugee Agencies and other welfare and advice organisations that provide services to refugee and asylum seeking women. It is also intended as a tool for staff in rape crisis centres and health service settings who encounter refugee and asylum seeking women who have been raped or exposed to sexual violence.
