El-Fashir — The Voluntary Development Aid Organization in North Darfur, in cooperation with the Safer World Organization, launched on Tuesday from Al-Salam Shelter Center "7" in the Abu Shouk camp for displaced people in El-Fashir, the initiative "Protecting Women by Addressing Gender-Based Violence, Peace and security Measures through awareness sessions."

Noura Osman Adam, Representative of the Voluntary Development Aid Organization, said that the initiative intends to find out how women can confront gender-based violence through awareness sessions aimed at raising awareness of gender violence and its causes, noting that the greatest harm resulting from violence during wars falls on women and children alone. She explained that recovering from rape cases when they occur requires that the victims go to treatment at the "IRC" center in the "Abu Shouk" camp or the "Saudi" Specialized Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynecology.

For her part, Social Researcher Amal Abdul-Rahman Muhammad reviewed peace and security measures, touching on how to protect lives from unexploded ordnance, calling on participants to benefit from these initiatives, transfer them to others, and apply what they received on the ground. BH/BH
