HUMAN ACCESS in Lahj Governorate conducted a training program for male and young members of the peer network in Al-Hawta District. This training was part of the Peer Network Guideline Development activity and falls under the second phase of the project "Protecting and Empowering Girls through a Pioneer Approach," funded by UNICEF.

The four-day training program, attended by 26 peer network members, aimed to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to be positive allies, role models, and influencers in their communities. 

Participants were empowered to raise awareness, engage in dialogue, advocate, and influence their peers and families to reduce violence and harmful practices against girls and promote their fundamental rights in all areas, without compromising religious, cultural, and social values.
