The FWCC's Gender Training of Trainers continued into its second and last week yesterday in Pacific Harbour with the training facilitated by world reknowned and Australia based Gender Trainer Dr Juliet Hunt.
Hunt's teaching is aimed at strengthening the skills of current gender trainers to:
- Critically analyse documents including policies, budgets, projects, media reports, current trends etc from a gender perspective
- Strengthen the skills of the trainers in communicating sound gender analysis in current training programs on violence against women as well as in public discussions and debates and
- in negotiating for women's rights at policy / project level.
Tonga Women and Children's Crisis Centre Coordinator Ofa Guttenbeil Likiliki, who is also a training participant, said, “ over the past years I've learnt so much on gender through the FWCC Manuals which was developed in collaboration with Juliet and so it's exciting to actually be here and see her teaching in person and to be part of an intimate group of dynamic women trainers, who, in their everyday work make the connection between women's livid experiences and the gender inequalities that they face”.
