TOT on human rights of women prisoners targeting the Internal Security Forces (ISF)

Within the framework of the “Reinforcing policies and the practices of human rights in women prisons in Lebanon” project financed by the EU and SIDA, Dar el Amal, RDFL, Caritas – Lebanon, and Diakonia is organising a training of trainers for the benefit of the ISF.  The training which will extend until the end of this week addresses human rights standards in prisons with emphasis on women’s prisons.
A joint statement issued by the four implementing organizations noted that this training comes after the completion of a number of previous phases namely the development of training material on human rights standards for women prisoners in Lebanon, the implementation of training for the benefit of prison warden, directors and nurses.  The statement noted that subsequently collaboration took place with the training department of the ISF in order to integrate this material into the curriculum of the ISF training school. The present training will ensure that the new standards are put into practice.
