About the Course
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is one of the greatest humanitarian challenges today. It encompasses a range of violations, including sexual assault, domestic violence, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, trafficking, and harassment. SGBV is a pervasive human rights violation that affects individuals of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds worldwide.
It takes various forms and occurs in diverse situations and contexts worldwide. In conflict-affected states, for example, rape is often used as a strategy for warfare to undermine the enemy and demoralize and destabilize communities. It not only inflicts physical harm but also causes profound psychological and emotional trauma, disrupts communities, and perpetuates cycles of violence and inequality.
Training on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the complexities and dynamics of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). By providing comprehensive information on the various forms of SGBV, their prevalence, and their impact on individuals and communities, the training helps raise awareness among participants about the significance of addressing this issue.
Target Participants

It is also suitable for policymakers, legal professionals, NGO staff, and anyone interested in combating SGBV and supporting survivors.
