CDA Advances Efforts to Combat Gender-Based Violence in the Workplace and Beyond

The CDA, through its Office of Gender, Youth Promotion, and Program Development, successfully conducted a 1-Day Training today, December 11, 2024, on addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the workplace and beyond.

Held in the CDA Conference Room, the training emphasized fostering safer and more inclusive environments, equipping participants with knowledge and strategies to combat violence against women and girls.

The training brought together staff to discuss critical issues surrounding sexual and gender-based violence, particularly its impact on women and girls in professional and community settings. The training being facilitated by Hon. Watson provided insights on recognizing signs of abuse, legal frameworks for protection, and the importance of building a culture of respect and accountability in the workplace.

Participants expressed their commitment to implementing the knowledge gained, ensuring that the Cooperative Development Agency remains a safe and empowering space for all. This initiative reaffirms the CDA’s dedication to promoting gender equality and creating environments where women and girls can thrive without fear of violence or discrimination.

Dear friends and family,
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support during my stay at the UL Graduate School. Your encouragement has meant the world to me, especially as I navigated the challenges of defying social and cultural norms especially early marriage.

I dedicate this degree to all young women who face similar obstacles and struggle to break free from societal expectations. Your strength inspires me, and I hope to be a voice for those who cannot speak out.

As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I ask for your continued support and guidance. Together, we can pave the way for change and empower future generations.

Warm regards,
Eco-friendly Augusta!
