The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) recently held a workshop in Kumasi. It focused on gender issues for its staff in the northern sector.
The training was for specific personnel known as focal persons. They learned more about gender-based violence and protection.
The workshop aimed to build the capacity of these focal persons. This will help them address mainstream gender issues effectively.
It also focused on preventing and responding to sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment. These are often called SEAH.
The GIS is committed to ensuring its officers are well-equipped to handle sensitive cases.
This training is part of ongoing efforts to uphold human rights within the service.
Officials stated the workshop is crucial for creating a safer environment for all.
The GIS continues to work on improving its services and personnel training.
