FoRUT conducted a capacity-building training for partner organizations, including Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), CRS, and other implementing partners, on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Gender Norms, Child Rights, and the Child Protection Policy.

The objective of the training was to strengthen the capacity of partner organizations to effectively implement community-based interventions and promote the protection and well-being of women and children. Participants enhanced their knowledge and skills in addressing harmful gender norms, promoting sexual and reproductive health rights, safeguarding children's rights, and applying child protection principles in their work.

The training emphasized the importance of coordinated efforts among partner organizations to ensure sustainable programming and effective responses to issues affecting vulnerable groups, particularly women and children. Participants were encouraged to integrate the knowledge gained into their organizational policies, community engagement activities, and referral mechanisms to improve service delivery and protection outcomes.

Last Saturday, 27th June 2026, Liberating the Depressed Foundation (LDF) had the honor of attending the Elevate Men's Seminar 2.0, organized by (SHE4Peace) at Toma Resort.
Under the theme, "IT'S OKAY TO SAY 'I AM NOT OKAY'," the seminar created a safe and meaningful space for men to openly discuss mental health, emotional well-being, and the importance of seeking support without fear or stigma.
The program was thoughtfully designed to encourage honest conversations, inspire resilience, and promote a culture where vulnerability is recognized as a strength rather than a weakness.

We sincerely commend for this impactful initiative and for championing mental health awareness and positive masculinity. Together, we can build healthier individuals, stronger families, and more resilient communities.
