Gender-Based Violence & Violence Against Children
International Experts Group Meeting on the Development of Instruments to Implement an International Criminal Justice Strategy to Eliminate Violence Against Women
On December 17-19, 1998, 45 experts from governmental, inter-governmental, non-governmental organisations, and academic institutions from sixteen countries representing all regions, including Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America and Eastern and Western Europe. The group took the position that there should be an introduction to recognize that one cannot expect a change in the attitude of everyone, but that CSJ personnel should be trained in what should be done. Thus, training should be based on concrete protocols, policies, and procedures, and be backed up by consequences for not following policy. In some countries, however, the immediate need is to build capacity for delivering training, and ensuring that it extends beyond urban areas and large settlements. Training on violence against women should be a core component in all professional qualifications/education, and should be located within a human rights framework. All training that is given should be evaluated, especially its impact and effectiveness in terms of service delivery.
