In May 2022, a series of capacity building training with girls and young women from various locations in Mount Lebanon took place with the goal to empower and engage them to bring change in their own community.

The sessions covered a variety of topics, including gender concepts, gender-based violence, sexual & reproductive health, legal discrimination, safeguarding, prevention against sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as how to foster positive male engagement on topics related to gender equality.

Girls and young women from different regions in Lebanon took part in a 2-day training on Gender, GBV, and SRHR, as well as Safeguarding and PSEAH. The training was held on May 28 and 29, 2022, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Beirut.
