PSOTC with support of the British Embassy in Sarajevo, NATO HQ Sa and EUFOR conducted the Prevention of Sexual Violence Training Module Train the Trainer Workshop from 4th to 6th June 2014. 24 participants, 15 from the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina (PSOTC), 7 from the Ministry of Security and different police agencies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 2 from the British Embassy, are attending the workshop. This Prevention of Sexual Violence workshop offered a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and share best practices in the field of Prevention of Sexual Violence. It offered to participants a unique opportunity to participate in high level training events, panels and workshops on Prevention of Sexual Violence and network with international experts, academia and practitioners. This is a pilot delivery of a generic PSV Training module for future instructors and lecturers by providing them with a possible methodological framework for running different exercises and syndicate discussions within the PSV module. The main goal of this project is to increase conceptual understanding of gender issues, sexual violence, the application of zero-tolerance for sexual exploitation/abuse, and possible roles of military, police and civil components in PSV in the context of Peace Support Operations (PSO). The major goal of the course was achieved and it can be said that instructors and trainers are ready to plan and conduct training and education for units on Prevention of Sexual Violence in military operations.
