Symposium of the CEINAV at European Conference on Domestic Violence, Belfast 2015

Liz Kelly, Rita Lopez, Bianca Graffe and Vlasta Jalusic present the research of CEINAV in the Belfast European Conference on Domestic Violence.
In this symposium, preliminar findings of the CEINAV were presented, giving special attention to the research questions of the Project, that is the ways cultural encounters play out in ethics, justice and citizenship.

Although CEINAV focus on three forms of violence — domestic violence against women, child abuse and neglect and trafficking for sexual exploitation, the symposium was centred on domestic violence intervention in the forth countries involved in CEINAV: Germany, United Kingdom, Portugal and Slovenia.
Cultural encounters were approached with a methodology based on focus groups with professionals from several areas who were asked about the sequence of intervention and the specificities of intervention with survivors belonging to ethnic minorities groups.
