Identification of Persons with Special Protection Needs
Article 21 of the EU Directive 2013/33/EU defines, among other things, that people with mental health conditions and individuals who have experienced torture, rape, or other severe forms of psychological, physical, or sexual violence—such as victims of female genital mutilation—are entitled to special protection. Our team of two psychologists focuses on supporting state efforts in this area. In close collaboration with the ZABH, the psychologists prepare professional and well-founded statements that include individual recommendations. These statements are provided to clients and can be shared with third parties, both governmental and non-governmental actors, to ensure that any special protection needs are recognized and addressed.
