Health care providers play a crucial role in supporting survivors of gender-based violence. A training program brought together 30 participants, including doctors, nurses, and midwives, to strengthen survivor-centred services. The program emphasized a rights-based approach, prioritizing safety, dignity, and confidentiality.
The training was implemented under the Emergency Human Capital Project, with support from the World Bank. It aimed to equip health care providers with the skills to listen without judgement and provide appropriate care to survivors. Further details about the training program and its objectives are available from the source.
The program's focus on a survivor-centred approach highlights the importance of providing supportive and non-judgemental care to those affected by gender-based violence.
