The Ministry of Social Development and Grenada National Organisation of Women (GNOW), with the support of the Royal Grenada Police Force, will be hosting a two-day training workshop for Police Officers on Thursday – Friday March 26 – 27, 2009.
The Legal Aid and Counselling Clinic, led by Jackie Sealy Burke, will provide the training.
Funding for the training of Police Officers is provided under a project “Support Network for Women Experiencing Gender-based Violence”. It is provided by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence against Women.
This workshop is expected to attract forty (40) Officers who are stationed throughout the island. For two days in November 2008 and one day earlier in March 2009, another group of 30 Police Officers had received training on the same topic. Training for two additional groups is also being planned for 2009.
