Orange the World

As part of the UN campaign "Orange the World," this online lecture with discussion examines the medical and forensic care of survivors of physical violence. Experts provide practical insights into acute care procedures, evidence collection, and legal steps—illustrated through a case example. Topics include sensitive documentation procedures, survivors' rights, and follow-up support services. The goal is to reduce barriers and strengthen professional and personal competence in handling such situations.

An anonymous Q&A option via Mentimeter is available. During the lecture, an awareness person will be present, as authentic image material from injury documentation will be shown.

Speakers include Daniela Dörfler (Head of Victim Protection Group at AKH Vienna), Sabine Eder (Deputy Head of Victim Protection Group), Chryssa Grylli (FOKUS, University Clinic for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine), as well as Amelie Hartig and Ruth Hofmann (Examination Unit for Survivors of Violence at the Center for Forensic Medicine).
