About medica mondiale e.V. 

medica mondiale is a feminist women’s rights organisation. For over 30 years, we have been campaigning against conflict-related sexualised violence and against power relations that oppress women. Together with local partner organisations in Northern Iraq/Kurdistan, Afghanistan, West Africa, the African Great Lakes Region as well as in South-eastern Europe, we support survivors of sexualised violence, oppose discriminatory power relations, and empower women’s rights activists.   

Through programmes and in partnership with local women’s rights organisations, medica mondiale e.V. follows a multi-level approach to address the various factors contributing to violence against women and girls: On the individual level, medica mondiale e.V. provides access to holistic services (psychosocial, health, legal, economic) for survivors of (sexualised) gender-based violence (SGBV). On the level of women’s and girls’ social environment, medica mondiale e.V. supports communities to recognise and protect women’s and girls’ rights and to support survivors of SGBV. On the institutional level, medica mondiale e.V. collaborates with diverse institutions along the referral pathway, whereby a particular focus lies on health institutions, to contextualize and adopt the stress- and trauma-sensitive approach (STA) towards survivors and to establish cross-institutional referral and support systems. On the political level, medica mondiale e.V. advocates for laws, policies and resolutions that address SGBV and promote women’s political participation. On the societal level, medica mondiale e.V. campaigns against sexism and gender stereotypes, raises awareness on (S)GBV and the long-term impacts of trauma within societies. Stress- and trauma-sensitivity are fundamental principles of our work, which is spelled out in media mondiale’s specifically developed stress- and trauma-sensitive approach (STA1). Our international programmes department is divided into four regional teams, which include experts from different medica mondiale departments (finance, international programmes (IP), trauma work, evaluation and quality (E&Q)). The four regional teams are 1) Afghanistan and Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq, 2) West Africa, 3) African Great Lakes Region, 4) Southeastern Europe. 

Our primary aim is to transform patriarchal norms and structures and bring an end to sexualised wartime violence and other forms of sexualised gender-based violence. At the local, national and international levels we join forces with other feminist activists, women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and feminist women rights organizations to campaign for the rights, protection and participation of women in establishing gender justice and removing power gaps.
