During February, the UN organized a two day training on gender and diversity. Key staff from OBAT’s education, health and empowerment projects in the Rohingya program attended the training. The training covered areas related to gender norms, SDG, gender equality and roles, gender relations, and stereotypes and gender based division of labor.
Another training undertaken by the staff included a social cohesion and gender based violence (GBV) training conducted by BRAC University and UNHCR. The participants of the training learnt how to increase social cohesion among host and Rohingya communities and how to address GBV in their areas of work. OBAT’s project officer from the Rohingya Women Empowerment Center attended the training.
