How does Germany’s protection system respond to migrant women experiencing domestic violence? What barriers do they encounter when seeking help, and what needs to change?
A new video produced by EURICE as part of the EU-funded PROTEMO project explores these questions through the perspectives of experts working on domestic and gender-based violence, migrant women’s rights, legal counselling and community advocacy.
The video captures highlights from a PROTEMO workshop held on 4 September 2026 at Saarland University, organised by PROTEMO Co-coordinator Beatriz Carbone. The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners to discuss the challenges migrant women face when accessing protection and support in Germany, and to identify opportunities for improving institutional responses.
The video features contributions from Dr Márcia Baratto and Mariana Gomes (REVIBRA Europa), Dr Adriana Santos (Abá e.V.), Alcilene Willeke (IMBRADIVA e.V.), Paula Katzenstein (lawyer) and Teresa Bueno (BOX66), alongside Dr Beatriz Carbone (PROTEMO).
Watch the video to hear their perspectives and learn more about PROTEMO’s research into the role of emotions in protective policies.
