"This training came at the right time when women around the world are
celebrating their position within different societies in terms of promoting
equality. So, we are here today also to make women understand that
unless we address the issue of gender-based violence it will be difficult to
achieve the equality that we are talking about this month and this year
and for the rest of our lives.”

“The event is also important because this year is one of AMISOM’s last

Somalis and it implies that we need to train as many as possible Somalis
on all issues and one of them is this issue of gender-based and sexual
exploitation against Somali women.”

individual.”

AMISOM conducts sexual and gender-based violence training in Kismayo

Kismayo, 13 March 2020 – The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has
concluded a public sensitisation training against sexual and gender-based violence
(SGBV) in Kismayo, to empower members of the community to play an active role in
bringing offenders to justice.
 
The three-day workshop was organised jointly with the Jubaland State Ministry for
Women, Family Affairs, and Human Rights and AMISOM. It attracted 39
representatives from civil society, ministries, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and
a committee that oversees the safety of children in Jubaland.
 
Speaking at the start of the workshop, the AMISOM Protection Officer, Gloria Jaase,
said the participants would gain skills to address cases of SGBV, which affect
vulnerable members in the community.
 
"The training happens when women globally are reflecting on their position in
society and the promotion of equality. Women need to understand that one of the
ways to achieve equality is by addressing sexual and gender-based violence," said
Jaase.
 
The AMISOM Head of Security Sector Reforms, Hamouda Mohammed Kanu, noted
that as AMISOM hands over security responsibilities in Somalia, the public needs to
understand issues of human rights.
 
"We need to train as many people as possible on all issues and one of them is
gender-based and sexual exploitation against women," Kanu added.
 
The Director of Children and Family Affairs in the Jubaland Ministry of Women,
Family Affairs, and Human Rights, Abdikadir Abdi Yare, hoped the participants would
train others.

"The participants received broad knowledge on gender-based violence. They are

expected train others and conduct campaigns in their respective areas to safeguard
rights of individuals," Yare said.
 
Speaking after the workshop, Jaase reiterated the importance of providing
information about the location of SGBV centres that support victims of gender-based
violence and conflict-related sexual violence.
 
A participant, Dhubo Mohamed Abdi, hailed AMISOM for organising the training and
said it would also help in combating violence against girls and boost girl education.
 
"I hope we will share what we have learned, with people in our communities," noted
Dhubo
