On Tuesday, 11/10/2022, the Psychosocial Counseling Center for Women conducted a legal awareness-raising workshop on ‘The Family Protection law’ in the Local Government Directorate, targeting 27 female members of local bodies in the Bethlehem Governorate.
The workshop aims to introduce the draft law and carefully examine it along with its importance and the need to expedite its approval and implementation to reduce domestic violence in all its forms, as well as reduce gender-based violence.
The workshop is a part of “Enabling victims and survivors to access protection services and participate in response plans to gender-based violence”, project which is implemented in partnership with UN Women, and funded by the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (UN CERF).
