Enhanced collaboration amongst stakeholders and partners is the key factor to consider in an effort to eradicate all forms of violence against women and girls. It is against this background that MAGGA conducted a four-day training of law enforcers, judicial personnel and health workers in clinical management of rape/SGBV, PSS and referral services. The training was aimed at enhancing the capacity of health personnel, law enforcers and social workers on how to sensitize communities on GBV issues, proper referral and clinical management of GBV Cases, giving proper psychosocial support to GBV survivors and understanding judicial procedures and related sections.
Ending violence requires a holistic approach and enhanced coordination. Engagement of community leaders and structures in planning, implementation and monitoring of activities enhances community project ownership and sustainability of such initiatives.
Malawi Girl Guides Association is a voluntary, non-political and self-governing organization for girls and young women (3-39 years) committed to offering them opportunities to develop good character and become responsible and useful citizens of Malawi. MAGGA is looking for a well-qualified person to fill the position of Project Officer.
