SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION CIRCLE 2011:
The Discussion Circle on "Women NGOs Secretariat of Liberia “” was initiated in 2007 and concluded in 2010. The members discussed the concern of the Liberia Focus Group on gender based violence. Some of the key topics of discussion focused on the fact that men should get involved in every aspect of awareness and training on gender based violence and on the importance of sharing information and encouraging women in the community to report cases of abuse to the Police and local organizations sealing with issues of human rights.
Introduction Message:
Welcome to the Liberia Focus Group on Gender Based Violence. We are members of Civil Society Organizations and Community Based Organizations working on issues effecting Liberian Women in society at different levels. After 14 years of war we are now faced with an increase of sexual and gender based violence ranging from rape, domestic violence, gender disparity, etc. We are looking forward to drawing lessons from other post-conflict countries to help address and reduce SGBV.
