The training was officially opened by the Deputy Chairperson of Social Affairs, Baidoa District, who emphasized the need for stronger trust between communities and law enforcement to build lasting peace.
A total of 45 participants attended, including police officers, EWER focal points, and community representatives. The sessions focused on improving officers’ skills in early conflict detection, human rights protection, and gender-sensitive policing.
By the end of the training, participants are expected to apply rights-based and community-centered approaches in their daily work, improve coordination with local communities, and contribute to reducing incidents of violence and gender-related abuses across Baidoa.
