MONROVIA – A two-day validation workshop was conducted from October 26 – 27, 2020 under the EU Spotlight Initiative Projects. The validation workshop focused on gaps identified in the Training Curricula and other tools of justice and Security Agencies including the Bureau of Corrections BCR); the Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA); the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS); and the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).
The gaps identified related to the topics of Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and Harmful Practices (HP); i.e. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The workshop was attended by approximately 25 participants from the said agencies.
