UNFPA’s Combating Gender Based Violence in Azerbaijan Project has launched the conduction of information sessions on gender based violence (GBV) in the frame of the project’s public awareness activities.

Several target groups (13-year old young girls, 18-28 year old young boys and teachers) are expected to be educated on common gender issues, gender sensitivity, gender based discrimination and GBV through the sessions to be held during three months period.

The information meetings are being conducted in Baku and Sumgayit cities, Masalli, Lenkoran, Astara, Sheki, Gakh, Zagatala, Guba, Gusar, Khachmaz, Shirvan and Shamahki regions. Particular consideration is paid to ensuring the representation of participants from vulnerable groups of population in these meetings (refuges and IDPs, the people with disabilities, children deprived of parental care).

The information sessions are conducted by the team of educators trained during the Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions held in the framework of the Combating Gender Based Violence in Azerbaijan Project earlier in the year. The training modules used at the events have also been developed in the frames of the project by the experienced experts and trainers on gender issues.

Technical assistance to the sessions is rendered by three local non-governmental organizations– “Taraggi” Social Development Public Union, “Potensial” Sumgayit Specialists Union, and “Yuva” Humanitarian Center.

UNFPA’s Combating Gender Based Violence in Azerbaijan Project will continue public awareness campaign on gender based violence for various target groups during the next project year.
