TIP’s Program Manager participated in training on protecting Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRD) and marginalized groups in West Africa. The training funded by the Foundation for a Just Society (FJS) focused on tackling emerging challenges faced by WHRDs and marginalized groups in West Africa.
More than 40 women human rights defenders attended the workshop, which sought to evaluate the situation of WHRDs, identify the obstacles they face, and explore the possible causes behind these challenges in order to propose effective solutions. The aim was to deepen the understanding of WHRDs’ plight, address their needs, and enhance their protection in light of changing circumstances in the area.
