United Nations police work in support of the national police to develop dedicated spaces to receive survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. For example, three such spaces are being launched this month in atrisk camps in Haiti. To that end, the Police Division is working with police-contributing countries to develop training and trainer modules to standardize the prevention and investigation of sexual and genderbased violence in post-conflict environments, for

United Nations police and national police forces. In the course of last year, 103 police trainers were certified through five regional training courses.

To capacitate our military components, we have developed training modules, in consultation with Member States, to accompany the military gender guidelines. We are piloting them regionally. We have

also introduced a module on conflict-related sexual violence, developed under the auspices of UN Action into the DPKO/DFS protection of civilians training modules for military, police and civilian components.

Those modules were recently finalized and disseminated to our missions and key peacekeeping training partners.
