The “Protecting the Rights of People Vulnerable to Abuse” workshop in Jowhar Town aims to raise awareness and strengthen the capacity of participants to identify, prevent, and respond to human rights violations affecting vulnerable groups.

The workshop brings together community leaders, local authorities, media representatives, and civil society organizations to discuss challenges faced by individuals at risk of abuse — including women, children, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons.
