Hope Beyond Foundation successfully conducted a two day Capacity Building Training for CUC Committee Prosecutors, Gender Desk Police Officers, Children Department Officers, and Community Protection Volunteers, CPVs, to strengthen the prevention and response to FGM, child marriage, and teenage pregnancies.
The training enhanced participants' knowledge and practical skills on key legal frameworks, including the Prohibition of FGM Act, 2011, the Children Act, 2022, and policies on Sexual and Gender Based Violence. Participants also strengthened their capacity in survivor centred case management, case documentation and evidence management, referral pathways, child protection principles, psychosocial first aid, and safe reporting procedures.
Through interactive role plays, case studies, and group discussions, participants exchanged experiences and built stronger coordination among justice and child protection actors. Community Protection Volunteers also received resource kits and were linked to formal case management structures, with the introduction of case tracking at the CUC level in line with Standard Operating Procedures.
Together, we are strengthening community systems to protect every girl from harmful practices and ensure survivors receive timely, coordinated, and quality support.
We thank all our partners and participants for their commitment to creating safer communities where every child can grow up free from violence and harmful practices.
