Prevention for and with migrants

Prevention for and with migrants

Our work in the field of migration aims to provide preventative services on sexual health for and with migrants — across language and cultural barriers.

Trained peer educators with their own migration experience conduct information and prevention events on sexuality and health for refugees and migrants.

The involvement of multipliers with their own migration experience can convey the topics in a more culturally sensitive way, without language and cultural barriers.

The events can be specifically aimed at one or more migrant communities and, depending on the setting, also at people in specific life situations, such as young women, pregnant women, students in integration classes, residents of communal accommodation, or LGBTQIA* refugees.

The events focus on sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, gender and sexuality, contraception and pregnancy, intercultural awareness, anti-discrimination, and sexual diversity.

The events are generally gender-segregated, free of charge, and take place in a safe and supportive environment.

The project is supported by the GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung Baden-Württemberg.
