Wassu Gambia Kafo, in partnership with UNFPA, ChildFund International, and with support from the Government of Catalonia, has commenced a five-day capacity-building training for trainers of the Gambia Police Force on safeguarding women and children.
The training, titled “Safeguarding Women and Children: The Role of Police in Ending SGBV, FGM/C, and Child Marriage,” aims to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and institutional response of police trainers in addressing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and harmful practices across The Gambia.
Over the five days, participants will engage in sessions covering:
Ethical conduct, accountability, and referral pathways
The training adopts a training-of-trainers approach, ensuring that knowledge and skills gained will be cascaded across police institutions nationwide, contributing to sustainable and systemic change.
This initiative reflects a shared commitment to strengthening law enforcement’s role in prevention, protection, and justice for survivors, while reinforcing trust between communities and the police.
Wassu Gambia Kafo remains committed to working with government institutions and partners to build a safer environment where women and children are protected from violence and harmful practices.
