Abstract
The "Make it Work!"-manual is primarily designed for professionals and/or residents who wish to set up SGBV prevention activities or to develop an SGBV prevention policy in their asylum or reception centre. However, with slight adaptations of wording in the exercises, it can easily be used in any other intercultural setting where prevention of SGBV is at stake. The purpose of the "Make it Work!"-manual is to: a) Develop a better understanding of the factors that influence SGBV b) Increase communication skills on sexual health and SGBV c) Stimulate group cohesion with the working group of professionals and residents in prevention of SGBV and promotion of health. ‘Make it Work!’ consists of five different modules: Getting started & wrapping up, Sexual & reproductive health & rights; Communication health & SGBV; Gender and Sexual & Gender-based violence. Every module has a logical build-up of exercises and information. We indicate what the aims are, what material you need, how much time the exercise takes and guide you step by step through the exercises. You can find backgroundinformation for the participants on handouts.¨‘Make it Work!’ is available in hard copy in English (CD-rom included) and can be ordered for free (only postal costs to be paid) at the ICRH, see http://www.icrh.org/files How%20to%20order%20Make%20it%20work!%20manualsx.pdf. By the end of 2010 the handouts will also be available in 12 languages on CD-rom and on the ICRH website.
