An awareness workshop on forensic medicine aspects of SGBV was delivered to 35 judges (28 September, Ramallah). This workshop was the first of a series of planned workshops to raise awareness of judges of forensic services.
Aspects of the project relating to sexual and gender-based violence have been strengthened. In particular, (1) the development of forensic nursing capacity and (2) the development of ‘end to end’ forensic medicine procedures that will significantly improve SGBV-related forensic service delivery. The forensic medicine component has been strengthened to address the skills of the current forensic doctors by the incorporation of a continuing professional development programme into the project, development of operating procedures and inclusion of a planned refit of four clinics.
