Training of Police (FSU), PHU Health Workers and Community Stakeholders.

Today, we certified 44 Police (FSU), 16 PHU Health Workers and 30 Community Stakeholders after a week training on Sexual Gender-Based Violence Response and Referral Services.
The desired aim of the training is to end SGBV in Sierra Leone and strengthen coordination and networking between the different partners and community stakeholders.
The training also served as an opportunity for the various partners to have a dialogue on the challenges faced in fighting SGBV and agree on the way forward.
